BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTH
Two Opinions With Respect to q False
Statement Minister Admits
He Made.

A curiously interesting question OF
ethics has arisen over the failure Of
. minister to secure employment for
be told prospective employers that
she was q woman Of good character.
He had often been on the point Of get
ting for her the work she needed in
order to make an honest living and to
regain the moral equilibrium which
had been disturbed by her wrongdoing.
But as soon as the minister, in his
devotion to the strict letter Of the
truth, admitted that the woman had
sinned, the doors of honest living were
closed in her face, the "unco' good"
people who were in a position to lend
a helping hand refusing to run the risk
OF contamination" unwilling to fol-
low the example OF Him who said to
another erring woman: GO and sin
no more"
Now a rather lively local discussion
has arisen as to whether the minister
was justified under the circumstances.
or whether anybody is ever justified
under any circumstances, in telling a
lie. Perhaps few will deny that if this
minister really lied at all he strained
the truth in good cause and that the
imposition practieed upon those who
refused TO give to another the chance
OF reform which they themselves
would have welcomed in their own
cases was intended to serve humane
purpose. All who are inclined to take
an ultra conservative view of the in
volatility of truth might ponder the
splendid words of Dickens when he
wrote Tom Pinch and the lie that he
did only good to another human be-
ing:
There are some falsehoods. Tom.
on which men mount, as on bright
wings, to heaven. There are truths.

Elephant Most INTELLIGENT.

The elephant is by a long shot the
most intelligent animal under man.
Some horses know a great deal, some
dogs are exceedingly bright, but for
real sound sense and all-around long
neadedness the elephant heads the
list. He is not only bright, he is a
deep thinker and profound philoso-
pher, and has been known to do
things that apparently required moth
ing less than human intelligence.

animal intelligence. with the wonder

HUMAN NATURE NOT so BAD
New york Newspaper Man Observes
With Pleasure the Aid Given
the Blind.

II you doubt that human nature is
kind. watch the ordinary passerby in
MS attitude toward blind man The
once window man was riding in q
broadway open car the other day. The
car was just barely moving, owing to
some blockade or other, and kept
about even pace with the pedestrians
who crowded the pavements in their
usual daily hustle
| The eye of the Office Window casu-
ally lit upon a blind man, walking
alone, With that upright tilt of the
mead so common to the sightless He
tapped his stick necessarily before
him and moved briskly until he neared
the end of each block, with its hazard
Gus curb. The car kept pace with
him for seven blocks, and upon every
block some one took charge OF that
blind man as he came to the curb, saw
him safely over and said a pleasant
word in parting.
One young man stayed near him for
three blocks, steering him over the
crossings each time. Probably the
man with the tapping stick thought
the friendly guide was a different man
for every block. Or does his ear be-
come so de!icately attuned to voices
that he fairly sees through hearing?
The Office Window man wondered If
the smiles that so often light the
faces of the blind come from the hab-
1t OF thanking people who lend them
friendly aid so many times a day?-
