are welcomed in every home.

organized in the churches and
elsewhere for the promotion of
social intercourse among our peo-
ole and all are well supported.

A mother had impressed upon the

OF keeping the commandments. One
day he was tempted to take an orange
from q basket where he could do so
without being detected. He had not,
however. gone far before it came into
hts mind. Thou shalt not steal" His
conscience was troubled. He thought
he would carry 1t back at once. but
then it was SO nice. He. however, de-
cided at last to be honest with the
command and not to steal. So he re-
turned 1t and went away, II not With

asked him If be had been a good boy

The home of the mustache IS In
Spain. and here is the history of its
origin: After the Moors first invaded
the country the Christian and Moslem
was difficult TO say which were Moors
and which Spaniards. The Spaniards
theD hit upon a means by which they
could at once distinguish their breth-
rem. They did not shave their lips any
longer. and they allowed n tuft Of hair
TO grow below their under lips. so that
their boards formed the rude outline
of a cross Thus the mustache became
a symbol of liberty and fraternity
