river than he was at church on Sun
days. Bright and early one Monday
morning this Sabbath fisherman called
the preacher to the door and presented
him with very fine and tempting

Tho Flaq at Half Mast.

The custom Of showing the flag at
half mast originated from the way at
sea Of showing the pre-eminence one
ship had over the other in time Of war

be raised as high as possible In exul.

submission or betokens respect to a su-
perior or is signal Of distress. The
hosting Of flag half mast high came
to be used, therefore. as a sign of
mourning and respect.

The Pliuht of the Liar.

Is there any power in cunning, In
shrewd, long headed deceptive methods
that can for a moment compare with
the truth, with absolute integrity?
There is no advertisement in the
world, in the long run, that can com
pare with that which comes from the
reputation Of always and everywhere
telling the exact truth, Of being abso-
lutely reliable. This reputation alone
has made the names Oi some Of the
great business houses In this country
worth millions of dollars.
Every time a man deceives he knows
that he has to cover his tracks. He Is
always on thorns for fear OF discovery,
for everything In his own nature Is
trying TO betray him; but when be
tells the truth, because be Is built on
the earth plan, he has all the universe
sustaining, supporting, backing him.
One can look the world in the face
without wincing, because he feels that
he is backed by eternal principle; ;
there is victory in his eye, assurance
in his very bearing, while there IL
