good even in the lowly fermented juice

A burglar who entered his house sew
eral nights ago, after having collected
a large quantity of groceries from the

the old silver chest and extracting there
from all that was valuable, came upon a
Jug Of old grape wine in the attic. He
thereupon forgot the old axiom about
business before pleasure and forthwith
began a one-man Jog party.
The next morning Roper found his
valuables and groceries in q great pile
In his attic. The empty jug was in the
front yard.

that the second story man. having de-
veloped goodwill toward man is general
with the contents of the jug, responded
to q call OF his conscience and decided
to lenve the house without carrying
