There are men who are polite enough not to adhere strictly to the truth, all though in childhood they were adnon- ished to tell the truth and shame the devil. Experience leaves no doubt that shaming the devil is one of the things not included in the aim of man. AS theologians have painted him it would be impossible to awaken in the devil either a sense of shame or pity. We moderners know that the devil is never caught telling a lie when the truth will serve him better, for only week men do that. The world has long ago pronounced liars past all shame heince the father of lies must be devoid of the equality which is said to indicate a nasty conscience. Some folks still believe that a lie well stuck to is better than truth wavering; and we all recognize the truth wavering commands no confidence Plain truth may be one of the sublimest of things, but if has never been so recognized in diplomatic circles. Truth is always a good thing when it will not produce evil results.

Isn't it queer that the man with the weakest memory cannot forget the mean things he has done himself. Nature seems to have keyed up life so that those who do not deserve to take comfort cannot get it however much they may have the material things of earth. Meanness, as well as folly, carries with it it's own penal ties. No one can be guilty of little meannesses and not sense their rascal ly kinship. It was Beecher who said: 'I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one wick ed man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean one ought to be converted six or seven times>one right after tue other, to give him a fair start and put him on equality with a bold, wicked man." The mean man is the worst thing out of jail; and the uneasiest mortal that ever tries to sleep at night His chief mental occupation is in keeping his own self-contempt secret

do not imagine that robin red- breast is a wonder to you; but he never seems to be less than that to me when I think of his capacity and usefulness. By actual, repeated ex- periments he has been found to eat twice his weight daily in grubs to sus- tain life. while man to keep healthy does not consume e-fortieth part of his weight. One kept in captivity ate in earthworms a sufficient num- Der in a day to extend fourteen feet when placed end to end. If the aver age man had an appetite like that it would require a quarter of bullock daily to meet his needs It is readily to be seen why insect-eating birds are a protection to the crops; and why man should regard them as being of too much value as assistants to shoot them There are those among the birdmen who give to the robin the credit for being the most versatile and accomplished singer among Amer ican birds not excepting the mocking bird If in literary circles the owl stands for wisdom, in sunshine soci- ety the robin should be an acceptable symbol, for is not the burden of his song: Cheer up" Cheer-up"

He who walks with Knowledge in the flower garden has an interesting companion. Knowledge can impart the information that this year the pansy has passed its three hundredth anniversary as a garden flower, while the Inidan pink and the long-leaved Veronica have passed their three hundredth, and the dahlia and zinnia have only a little over hundred years to their credit under cultiva- tion.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It beats all how small a dollar looks to a spendthift. The person who does not know how to earn dollars or how to keep them, cannot see as much in five dollars as the one who earns them can see in one. A spendthift will al- ways smile when any one speaks of hardened dollar for that sounds like a joke to him. A dollar measured by the time 1t took to earn 1t must look o1f- ferent than the dollar measured by the time 1t took to spend 1t It is hard earned dollars that develop manhood, and easy won dollars that promote worthlessness. Moneyruins all to whom it falls if they have not been schooled as to its worth and proper way to use it. Easy money paves the way for want later in life. The way to find out the worth of a dollar is to try to borrow one. It is the dollar owed that may be- come a fury to the debtor, for it is the dollar the collector and the sheriff keep on the hot trail of-a debtors misery is their balm.
 Strange, isn't it? The man who has too many friends is sure to wake at last to ask himself whether he ever had a friend or not Friendship is too often based upon what some one can get fsom you. not what you may ex- pect to get from them; hence, it takes but little adVersity for professed friends to be among those who feel capable of passing judgment upon your extrava- gance, or lack of wisdom, and who blame rather than pity you. They do not know there is an old proVerb which reads there is a foolish corner even in the brain of the sage, which confirms the saying no man is perfect. It is a good plan not to expect too much of a friend, for if he is a true friend he will not fail to demonstrate at just the right time. Friendship never needs prodding, for it has repute for in creasing our blessings and dividing our griefs. Old friends and old shoes add to the comforts of life. A friend does not have to be sent for in the hour of diversity, if he did Napoleon would never have said: "A faithful friend is the true image of Deity'

QUIET CHRISTMAS DAY
On Account of Rain, Great Feast
Was sMostly Enjoyed =
Indoors

Ii was generally observed that yes
terday was an exceedingly quiet
Christmas as the unpropitious wealth
err kept most people within their @oors
and with family circles. There was,
however, enjoyment of domestic ma
ture where family reunions took place.
According 10 custom many people
kept open house, but there were by
no means as many calls as customary,
Mayor Fishers order was generally
obeyed. and apart from the OCCASION
al snap of the small and harmless
firecracker but few explosions were
heard.
No disorders were reported by the
police.
The safe and sane observance OF
Christmas has brought about salts
factory conditions. Bar rooms are
compelled to close Christmas Eve
, night and the use Of explosives Is
prohibited unaer penalty of the law
! Too much conviviality on the part o.
some persons who are prone to aous,
the blessings of heaven and the dang
erous use of explosives were the Prin'
! cipal features which formerly caus-
ed the day to be regarded with horror
by people of quiet natures. Invent!
yeas ago it was necessary for the
mayor to appoint about dozen eS
ira policemen ON Christmas i'll order
to preserve the peace. 1t it not sc
now. And it passed off yeSterda!
