CULTIVATE HABIT OF TRUTH
Parents Should Early instilI This Best
Of All Virtues In the Minds of
Their Children.

Teach your children to be truthful.
Impress upon them that if they tell
you the truth they will be given far
less punishment than they would re-
ceive IL they lied to you.
The parent who has a child he can
rely on to tell the truth is fortunate.
1t is worth a good deal to know
where anyone stands, and truthful
child is the most teachable one, for
you know where to find him.
Truth-telling raises the standard Of
everyone who is known to possess
this good quality.
Those who tell the truth may not
always be the most popular, but they
never fail to command respect, and
that is worth great deal more
The man whose word can be relied
upon occupies an enviable place in the
community.
J The place is not overcrowded.
A truthful man follows a truthful
youngster. Truthfulness is a habit OF
mind.
1t may take some time and tact to
make truthful boy out OF that lad of
yours, but IL is worth all the effort
it requires. Set an example of truth,
but do not let it end there. The secret
Of success in everything worth while
in this life lies in the habit Of truth.
Truth Is the eternal law of being.

HAVE AFFECTION FOR TREES
Bitter Tears When Ordered to Cut
Down a Fine Hemlock.

That one should feel affection for
great trees is natural. In the Mime
sofa forests / met lumberman who
told me he wept bitter tears when, he
got orders to cut down n fine hem
lock. Every stroke of the ak seemed
to him to be felt by the sturdy mon
arch whose life he was taking. writes
Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn
Eagle.
When l have revisited the woods"
in which as boy gathered nuts,
have fancied the trees used to climb

They hadn't aged. The shellback
hickory trees seemed trifle more
dangerous to climb than of yore. and
the walnuts had gained noticeably in
girth. so that my heightened arm had
barely kept pace with the expanding
bark. 1 could still encircle their
trunks and could have climbed them
If necessary, but the rewards of a
winters store of nuts no longer ap-
peal to me. The walnuts and hickory
nuts one buys do not taste like those

FINED FOR WEARING Boards
History Tells OF English Judges Or
der for Compulsory Shaving Of
BarrIsters In His Court.

Nowhere was there more prejudice
against boards than at the inns court
Of centuries ago. The black books Of
Lincoln's inn of the sixteenth century
are full Of references to offenders who
were "fyned double comens durrynge
such tyne as they shall have any
berde." This proving ineffective, a
batch of bearded barristers was in 1854
"banysshed from ye Howse." and
shortly afterward a judges order was
obtained for the compulsory shaving
Of some of the members. The Inner
Temple benchers were not quite so Sc
we're, for fine of 20 shillings was the
sole penalty imposed in 1866 'for
wearying beardes Of more than three
weekes growthe." The war against
bearded barristers continued at the
Inns of Court until the seventeenth
century.
Long after this the prejudice against
the unshaved barrister remained. The
late Vice Chancellor Bacon carried his
dislike so far that he refused to listen
to bearded or mustached counsel, pre-
tending that he could not hear them.
Even now. although there are plenty
of bearded barristers and X. C.'s, few
have attained eminence. The most
brilliant exception was perhaps the
late judah Philip Benjamin, "silyer-
tongued Benjamin." who, despite his
mustache and American "goatee."
earned the princely income of S35, 900

Revised His Opinion.

A handsomely dressed damsel en-
tered a crowded tramcar. A rough
looking old fellow, wearing q dilapi-
dated hat and suit of homespun
clothes, rose to his feet.
Miss, take my seat. ! don't look
as well as these ERE gentlemen" he
said, nodding to several men, but I've
got more politeness."
without word of thanks the young
woman sat down.
Miss" said the old fellow, with q
smile, Il believe left my tobacco
pouch on the seat. Will you please
get up?"
No sooner was the seat unoccupied
than the old fellow deliberately sat
down again.

politeness than these ERE gentlemen,
but I have found out that amt got

The tramp sprang to his feet. you

Randall got up. There was a new
dignity In his manner as he confronted
the other. "Yes, l know" he an
swered. "She is happily married, to
a man who is kind to her, and she
knows nothing of her father. And
shall never tell you where she is"
You're lying!" jeered the tramp.
"You never went near her. II you had,
you'd have taken her for your own.
And you haven't got an adopted daugh-
ter, nor never had. You lie, just as
you used to lie."
Randall gazed impassively down the
street. He saw that folks were leaving
the church and strolling homeward.
Among them were. his wife and daugh-
ter, happy, little dreaming of what the
future had in store for them. The fell

His wife and daughter entered the
gate and came into the garden, then,
seeing Randall in conversation with
tramp, hesitated. The tramp looked
at them in establishment. Somehow,
now that his vengeance was at hand,
he hesitated to use 1t.
"Will you come here, my dear?"
called Randall to his wife. This man
has something to say"
Wondering, the woman approached.
The tramps eyes were fixed on her
face in amazement. He opened his
lips, but no sound came from them.
Then he turned to Randall.
Il guess I'll co." he said roughly. 'Tf
you can't get me a job, she can't"
He turned and slouched toward the
gate. Randall, who had followed him,
started as the man, when out of the
woman's hearing, turned flercely upon
him.
You thought I wouldn't recognize
my little girl now she's a married
woman?" he snarled savagely.

regarded him quietly.

well to stop producing intoxicants and
transfer that worse than wasted labor
to the farms? From the point OF
view of the adjustment of labor the
war affords splendid opportunity 10
make the transition easy
In peace times the advocates of
prohibition are met with the objection
that the great brewing and distilling
plants would be rendered yalueless
and the capital invested in them lost
There never has been very much
force in this contention Always it
has been found easy to put the plants
TO new uses. For example, in Denver,
when prohibition was proposed, the
brewers and the brewery workers
unions put forth the plea that if the
law was passed many workers would
lose their jobs and the capital invest
ed in the great brewing plants would
be destroyed. What happened was
that Immediately after the adoption of
prohibition the biggest brewery was
turned into a matted milk factory and
more men than ever were employed.
In Seattle came across very similar
illustrations OF the adaptation of the
plants to other and more useful pur-
poses
Now, according to distillers them
selves, the commercial uses of alco-
hol, and especially the immense guam
titles of it required in making smoke.
less powder, must tax the capacity of
all the distilleries in the country
There is practically no difficulty in
the way of adapting our distilleries
and breweries to the manufacture of
industrial alcohol
In word, we have now a splendid
opportunity to save from waste the
food of millions of people, to save
from wasteful purposes the labor of
nearly three hundred thousand men,
and to make the transition to total
prohibition easy. | do not believe
that if prohibition is established and
enforced during the war the country
will ever consent to abandon it.
Congress will only be in session
about three weeks longer, so far as
can learn. and it is highly import
ant that all who believe in war pro-
hibition should get busy and let their
Congressman and Senators know what
is expected of them.
