TRUTH ABOVE ALL THINGS
tneomparably the Best Business Asset
That q Man or Firm Can
Possess.

4 successful merchant, when asked
ne question, "Nhat IL the best asset
Of business house7" said: 1.-The best
asset a business house can possess Is
reputation for absolute truth"
Such was the exhortatlon lately
given to young man who has yet to
arrive, by veteran who. in well-earn.
ed retirement, can comfort himself
with the reflection that he has
been one Of the most successful busi-
ness men Of the age.
10 the cynlc advice of this quality
may seem, perhaps. to call up shades
Of George Washington at the period
when "he couldn't tell q lie'' But
men Of sense long ago have realized
that, even should they brush the ques.
zion Of morals aside and be content to
argue the matter from its lowest and
most cynical standpoint, the truth-tell-
lug policy still remains the best; in
sact, the only possible working policy
tor the man who aims at any definite
and lasting success IN business.
:! The truth.teller is, in short, the man
wA6 stands to make good in the bust
mess field; he Is the only man who
counts to any really vital extent.

Mystery Surrounding Green Bottle

over the discovery In the cornerstone

ancient green bottle" to quote from
the printed description Of the md. It
II said that 1t closely resembles an
oldtime rum bottle, except that Ito
surface is covered with what are a.
legged to be Masonic characters. says
the Hartford Courant. Fragments OF
q cork were found, but the bottle con-
tanned no fluid, not even an odor.
That the bottle was empty when
found affords no ground for surprise.
but that its surface Is completely COW
cred by Masonic characters may give
rise to much speculation. Had it been
covered or partially covered with
characters which indicated that 1t once
contained distilled liquor from the
West Indies there would have been
little cause for speculation, inasmuch
40 such bottles and such spirits were
common a hundred years ago when
the cornerstone was supposed to have
been put in place.
That the bottle was put in place
while empty suggests thrifty dispo-
sition on the part Of the builders.

The jumping frog" story was favor

Twain's humorous uncle, John A.
Ouarles, and that 0uarlao brought II
along with him from the backwoods
Of Tennessee. Some pundit dug the
