HAT would you do If some one
W. told stories about you-stories
that were not true. stories
that hurt you dreadfully-and what if
that some one was an elderly man
whom you had trusted and thought a
sincere friend? Would you make him
retract what he said. and how would
you do it, How should man like that
be punished
That's what a woman and her daugh-
ter want to know. They have written
me q letter about it-such troubled,
excited. hysterical, frightened what
shall we do; oh. what shall we do
letter.
/ know what I'd do, my friends. I
wouldn't pay the slightest attention in
the world to the tales the elderly per-
son told about me, for the very good
reason that nobody else will pay any
attention 20 them, either
That isn't the first lie the elderly
person has told, depend upon that
People don't begin to lie wantonly
after 20. They get the habit early in
life, and what you know about him
everybody else knows. and that makes
the matter perfectly simple, don't you
see2
That's the beauty of a fibber. He
thinks he's having a lovely time start
ing trouble, and so he IS, but it's all
for himself
The whole world isn't fooled very
long in the character Of any man. or
any woman either for that matter.
Take new stenographer into an office
and il isn't a week before every wise
boy in the place knows whether she's
what she tries to make every one be-
lieve she is or not.
Wh1n the elderly person told his fine
story about you and your daughter, my
friend. all those who heard him sim
ply smiled and looked at each other
and changed the subject
After he'd gone they smiled again.
Same old sixpence, isn't he?" they
said, and that's ali the affair amount
ed to, or ever viii amount to.
And, then, what do you care what
people say about you, anyway? The
important thing is not what they say,
but what is true.
Are you honest well meaning. of

be annihilated.
The pros were thoroughly organized
and never Wavered on any proposition
that would rebound to the good of their
cause, but they lacked the number that
would give them a majority and they
had to meekly submit to the deal hand
ed them by the ants. The ants could
have made this deal as raw as a beef
steak, but the platform outlined for
them by the governor prevented this
and they had to content themselves
with a compromise.
The slogan of the ants for the next
contest viii be to fight the pros to
the last ditch" They will not bulge
an inch but rather will try to get back
what they have lost.

HALIFAX, N. s., April 26-lmmed-
lately after the wreck of the Titanic
the officers of the White Star line
chartered the Mackay-Bennett, the
steamer used for laying cables and
making repairs by the commercial
cable company and sent it to the
scene of the disaster. The boat car
ried a corps of undertakers and en-
balmers, and a minister, whose duty
it was to read the burial service over
such victims as we're found and could
not be identified. The bodies that
bore marks that might lead to identi-
fication were embalmed and placed
in coffins and brought ashore. Those
that were in such condition as to
make Identification impossible, were
weighted with iron bars carried along
for the purpose and were sunk with
simple religious ceremonies. After
recovering about fifty bodies the Mac
kay-Bennett returned to Halifax, and
the Nina, the cable steamship owned
by the Western Union, took its place.

The Adams County Record feels that
Adams and Bowman counties are not
getting a square deal. They say in all
publicity matters the outsider is led to
believe that Stark. Hettinger and Nor
ton counties constitute the slope"
but that when there is any boosting to
be done for fairs. expositions. etc.,
Adams and Bowman also belong to the
Slope to help do it. 1t is quite possible
that the items in the Twin City
papers giving publicity to Stark, Het-
finger and Morton counties are merely
the news service dispatches from towns
in these counties. If so. it is up to the
counties south to send in the news and
let people know that they belong to the
good Missouri Slope country.
