AMERICAN HONESTY.

When the war broke out last Au-
gust n large number Of Americans
who either were In Great Britain al
ready or had hurried there from tho
continent. found themselves without
spending forms Of money and Q Ions
way from Tippcrary. But wealthy
Americans IN London took upon them
selves the burden OF getting their
eountrymcn out OF the dilemma.
They formed Il relief committee and
assistance was furnished TO anyone
who found himself without sufficient
funds to get home. In most instances
no security for payment Of the loan
could be given. and the committee
had to trust 10 the general honesty
OF the American men ami women
thus stranded. ~
The trust has been remarkably
indicated The report has been made
that all the money loaned. amounting
to up in the hundreds of thousands
OF dollars. except about two hundred
and fifty dollars, has been returned.
And this small sum has been account
ed for and shortly will be paid by
teachers who have to earn Il.
The recipients OF the help made
extraordinary efforts to return the
money as soon as possible. and with

thing to remember is that child, sick

Worst Bore Of All-T The LoUer
Ny DOROTHY DIX

II IS popularly supposed that all the world loves the lover. and that it is a cherished household pet. Never was there a greater mistake for there is absolutely no ravenous beast of the forests that will make prudent per yIjtsson take to his heels as quickly as the sight of a real bona fide lover bearing down upon him.
 Nor is this fear of this afflicting anil nal without cause, for literally the on slaught of an army with banners is not so much to be dreaded as the attack of a lover who has 1t bad. It seizes upon the friend whose hand has fed and clothed it. or waylays q perfect stranger with equal disregard of their feelings. and. without sin gle pang of compunction, slowly bores them to death
 {, Just when and where this terrible Creature first originated it has been impossible to ascertain. It evidently however, goes back to a very remote period, for history mentions a number of notable specimens. such as Petrareh and Laura; Hero and Leander; Romeo and Juliet, etc. etc. who appeared to iiNfe sot1eh III tHelf ueauly Work Tn their vicinity in ages long ago.
 In appearance the lover is extremely attractive, as it is very gay colored, and spends as much time in keeping Its coat sleek and glossy. and it's paws In a nice squeezable condition. This care cf appearance is particularly no- ticeable in the elderly specimens, the females even going so far as to dye their hair and paint their faces in an effort to look sweet 16. while the males adopt the most amusing dandi- fled air and are arrayed like solomon male lover has one peculiarity that this connection; i. e.. as long as it's mate is alive it presents a dingy. moth-eaten, mangy appearance, but the minute she dies it immediately sheds its old coat and comes forth looking spick and span, and 10 years younger.
 The habits of the lover are very strange and totally inexplicable to in- telligent people, and lead to the belief Khat the creature is blessod. at best, but with feeble mind. 1t seems to find it's chief occupat ton in billing and cooing, and holding hands. One his torian of mpeaehable veracity notes that he witnessed q couple of ordinary common, or garden lovers, who kissed each other 123.456.7S9 times without pausing for breath, or stmulants. 1t would be difficult to accept these sta tistics except that they are borne out by figures compiled in Central park, and on Coney Island boats, and other
