of all-'aThe truth will prevail."f
It's the half-truth, however, that is
more damning than the open, bare
faced lie.
The insinuation cieverly cloaked,
the partial statement skillfully yelled,
the plausible explanation frankly
made, the twisting of fact to a sett-
ing of falsity.
But this is no more disheartening in
its inevitable success, than that elu-
sive, eel-like wriggling which is fair
of face but black Of heart
Which smiles and purrs and caress-
es, the while it is gently reaching
round and ripping nice, large,
straight and unmistakable hole down
the back.
Which gives you a sweet look and,
at turn of the head. is directing to-
ward you the mocking, sneering, lying
wink-the Struggling grimace, the de-
risive finger.
1t is said sometimes of these latter
that you cannot depend on them"
Can you depend on anybody?
Hardly. At least rarely.
Everybody is moved by self-inrerest.
They are nice to people as long as
there is reciprocal flattery or a work

gold-mine.
But, to continue the figure, when the
vein ends in cul de sac. blind alley,
or just gives out for lack of material,
then-pouf!-w are those charm
ing friends who swore that as long as
the sun shone and the moon came up
of a summer night, as long as the
winds blew and men We're born into
the world would they be true to you.
Where are they, sure enough?
Peep round the corner and there

Whom they warned you against as

down and ex-communicate.
Behold you them now, to your
amazement and CONSERVATION, whis-

 AUBURN CLASSES

Auburn, February 23.-(Special.) )-The Juniors won the class championship Tuesday afternoon in very hard fought gridiron contest with the Freshmen, the final score being Juniors 6. Fresh men 0.

 In the second half the Juniors play ing was spectacular but they could not carry the ball over the Freshman goal line. Resijac played good ball and downed many men in their tracks. Pitts work as center was particularly good. Cogswell, Moore and Clay were also stars for the Juniors. The entire game consisted in the Juniors carrying the Freshmen's 10-yard line to be held for downs. The ball was always punted out of danger and brought back, but there was no scoring after the first quarter.
 The sponsors for both teams were very enthusiastic Miss Katherine Gold en was sponsor for the Juniors, with Miss Estelle Meyer as maid. For the Freshmen. Miss Felicia Streit was spon- sor and Miss Katherine Rush was maid.

St. Paul, Minn., February S.-L. w. Hill, president of the Great Northern Rail- road company when informed of the ac- commission on the railroad rate matter, said:
 Well, I guess I'll take walk around to the steamship offices and see If 1 can't get rate on a trip to Europe, as there won't be much use of my staying around here next summer"
 Does that mean that you expect to see a reduction in business?" he was asked.
 ''Oh, we will keep right on doing busi- ness, but there won't be much done in the way of extensions or improvements. .
 Twill there be further curtailments in improvements by the railroads following this order?" i
 ''The roads can't curtail much more than they are now. If railroads cannot sell their securities they cannot raise money They talk about money being easy in New York. It is easy to look at but you can't get hold of any of it"
