Advice To
u Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE.

Dear Annie Laurie: am a girl
of fifteen who goes and comes to
school on. the cars. While l am
waiting at the transfer station
for my car there Is q conductor,
who Is very nice as far as know,
who first began TO smile at me
and then tip his hat, not caring
who watched him. Finally he
asked me II would allow him to
come TO see me. People tell me.
he is married, and that he would
leave his home II he could marry
me. He says he isn't married.
What, shall l do about him?
..I'.r. BROWN EYES.
r YAVE nothing more to do with
- him whatsoever. Even though
you have to change the time
OF the cars you take; do
everything you can to avoid him.
What dc you think will happen to
your reputation II you are seen talk
ing to a married man who evidently
has no care for public opinion?
You have never been introduced to
him. You may be sure that II he
goes out OF his way TO ne so nice
TO you he would do the same thing
with any other pretty girl who hap
pened TO be travelling on his car.
even though YOU were his wife.
And have you no considerati ton for
his present wife? No doubt her
careless, flirtatlOus husband has
broken her heart long ago. but at
least II would be better for you II
you have no part In It's breaking.
You are fifteen, you say. Do you
for one minute suppose that the
man would give one serious thought
tn marrying a child like you? I'm
afraid you are n very romantic child.
and the attentions OF this man have
dazzled YOU a lit. Isn't that so?
This Is quite q lecture. hut really
the thought OF that conductor person
made me LONG To help you before
your little head Was turned entirely.

Effects of Lying

Lying is great sin against God, who
gave us tongue to speak the truth and not
falsehood. 1t is a grea, offense against HUI
mainly itself; for where there is no regard
for the truth there can be no safe society
between man to man. And it is an injury
to the speaker for besides the disgrace
which it brings upon him it occasions so
much baseness of mind that he can scarcely
tell the truth or avoid lying, even when he
has no color of necessity for it, and in time
he comes to such pass that as other people
cannot believe he speaks truth, SO he him
self scarcely knows when he tells false
hood. AS You must be careful not to lie,
so you must avoid coming near it. You
must not equivocate, nor speak anything
positively for which you have no authority
but report, or conjecture or opinion.

Always Something

It's hard to save for rainy day; there S
always something for which to pay; there's
always something demanding coin; we have
to pay for the tenderloin, for the grocer S
prunes and the bakers bread, new pillow
slips for the guests-room bed, for hat for
Jane and a shoe for Jake, for seed and bulbs
and garden rake! We must subscribe for
some magazine, and the house needs paint
and the window screens, and we need some
sa)ves for the spring time corns, and the
cow requires new set of horns, we must
hire man who can prune the trees, and
make some stalls for the bum blebees, and
haul away something demanding cash! A
man must study and engineer, who'd save
ten cents in passing year, who'd have
bone for the rainy day, as rod and staff
when he's old and gray, to buy a~shroud
when the journeys done-there's always
something demanding mon.-Walt Mason.

Talking and Thinking.

Some people could talk very well if they
had anything to say.
AS far as their command of language goes,
they are beyond criticism. And indeed with
certain >unobservant listeners they get the
credit for being conversationalists.
So smoothly do the sentences slip from
their lips that some fail to realize that they
never express an idea.
On the other hand, plenty of folks are
thinkers, but are so awkward about express
ing themselves that they never get the credit
they deserve. If you introduce your idea to
your acquaintance clothed in ill-htting
language with sentence torn in two be-
cause you could not think of the word you
wanted, be sure that only listener of I'M
usual insight will appreciate it for what it
is worth.
Young people with ideas should learn to
talk. Those with good vocabulary and a
fluent tongue should learn to think. Mel
Their is gift enough alone.-Ex.
