For Our Boy and Girl Readers
THE EMPEROR AND THE FIGS.
story Of How the King Rewarded the
old Man.

old Man.
An emperor. seeing an old man plant
ing big tree. asked why he was doing
this. The man replied that he might
live 10 eat of the fruit, but even IL he
did not his son would enjoy the figs.
Well" said the emperor, IF YOU do
live to eat OF the fruit Of this tree
pray you let me know of it,"
The man promised to do so, and.
sure enough. his life was prolonged
until the tree grew and bore fruit,
which the Old man ate.
Packing some of the finest OF the
figs in basket he set out for the
palace and when he explained his err
rand was shown by the guards into
the emperors presence.
The emperor was so pleased that he
accepted the gift Of the figs and or
dered the old mans basket to be filled
with gold.
Now, next door to this old man there
lived a woman who was very covetous.
and. seeing his good fortune. she pack
ed some figs into basket ana per-
suaded her husband to take, them to
the emperor in the hope OF receiving
I'm return basket full OF gold.
But the emperor, on learning. the
mans GRAND, ordered him to stand In
the courtyard and had him pelted with
the figs. When the man arrived home
and told his wife all that had taken
place she consoled him by saying:
"Ah, well. You may be thankful
they were figs and not hard cocoanuts."

DISSOLVE BONE IN THROAT
Use of Lemon Juice at Critical Time
Is a Thing Worth Keeping
in Mind.

Sitting at a planked shad dinner in
Yonkers, laughing guest drew bone
into his throat and he began to
strangle. Some one suggested that the
sufferer swallow a fragment of dry
bread
"Oh, no." exclaimed an Ossining
man. Don't give him bread. 1t might
catch the bone and it might not. Give
him something that is sure TO give re-
lief" Reckoning to a waiter, he said:
Bring me lemon, cut in two" And
it was brought without delay Taking
one section, he offered it to the chok-
ing guest and told him to suck the
juice and to swallow it slowly. Direc-
tions were faithfully followed, and in
about a quarter of minute the af-
flicted one placed the Balf lemon on
his plate, looked into the anxious faces
around the table and smiled.
We'll, Joe," said one, "how about
it?"
IT'S gone" was the reply, "the bone
has slipped down"
Not exactly that" said the Ossin-
ing man. THE bone slipped down, all
right, but it was melted first by the
citric acid. l never knew it to fail
20 dissolve fishbone. You can test
the power of lemon juice by dropping
some on the fishbones you may have
lying on your plate"
Several diners tried the experiment.
In each case the acid reduced the bone
TO liquid gelatine.

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

A curiously interesting question OF
ethics has arisen over the failure OF
a minister to secure employment for
an erring but repentant woman until
} he told prospective employers that
she was a 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
any NiiSulliSNdHNtos AtlllH6
lie. Perhaps few will deny that If this
minister really lied at all he strained
the truth In a good cause and that the
imposition practiced 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 a 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,
cold, bitter, haunting truths, that bind
men down to earth. Who would not
rather have TO fan him in his dying
hour the lightest feather of a false
hood such as thine, than all the quilts
plucked from the sharp porcupine,
revengeful truth, since Time began?"

PENSION AGENCIES
Will Be ABOLISHED
$15O,O00,00O FOR PENSIONS AP-
PROPRIATED IN BILL WITH
PRONISO.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE
senate today yielded to the demands
Of the house for the abolition of the
pension agencies throughout the
United States and passed the $780,
100000 pension appropriation bill
with "a provision for the abolishment
ct the agencies January 81, 1913.
The action OF the conferees was
the elimination of a dispute which
has held up payment of over SO, eS0,- :

thrown the financial operations of the
pension bureau into chaos. The house
Will probably accept tho senate pro-
vision regarding abolition OF pension

these agencies be abolished December

ion In dispute and its settlement was
expected to end the deadlock.
