Timothy Bailey was weakling,
not morally, but physically. He was
the son of kind old Quaker and had
always been taught that truth and
honesty were best. But Ebeneezer
Smouch, as healthy a boy as they
make sem', had lost both of his par
ents when he was little lad, so he
had been reared under the guiding
hand of his stern, old uncle, who be-
longed to the Puritan church. Eb-
eneezer strove' hard to do right, for
the severe punishment laid upon him
by his uncle for his every misdemean-
or, were not relished very much.
Timothy, because of his poor
health, had fallen far behind Eb-
eneezer in school though he was the
same age as Ebeneezer. But with
the aid of his father, Timothy worked
so hard that when the final examina-
tions were over, he found himself up
to grade.
A friendship had sprung up be-
tween Eben and Tim. (These are
the names by which we shall know
them from now on.) First it was be-

"a word of appreciation for favor
done. We all do it. We read of
something in the local paper that
pleases us and we smile, but it never

OUTLOOK
LOCAL BANKER COMMENTS ON
BUSINESS CONDITIONS

In an interview with representa-
tive of the First National Bank, Mr..
Ayres, vice-president of the Bank
offered the following comment on
business conditions.
Business" says Mr.. Ayres, con
tinues generally good but the pace is
noticeably slower. There appears to
be greater spirit of conservatism
and caution among business men than
has been witnessed for some time.
Buyers generally are less disposed
to worry about the future and are
combining themselves to purchases for
meeting immediate requirements. Or.
dinarily such action presages drop
in prices.
"The complaint of scarcity of
merchandise continues to be wide
spread. Manufacturing in practi-
cally all lines continue active. Fac
tories continue to operate at full ca
pacity but production still lags be-
hind demand.
Labor continues scarce and wages
high. The great building boom pre-
dicted for the coming season may
suffer because of contractors inabil-
ity to secure necessary help. Build
ers' supplies are becoming increas-
ingly difficult to obtain also.
1.-THE Governments attempt at
price checking has produced little in
the way of results. A number of
hoarders have been forced to release
their holdings and number of profit
GERS have been brought to justice,
but this has had little effect on
prices.
at is now generally conceded that
there are no specific remedies for
our present financial and economic
disorders.
Increased production, public re-
trenchment and private economy are
the only things which will hurry
along the process"

with good cause for if he were not
guilty why couldn't he tell the truth
without blushing, Come here Bailey"
Eben sat frozen with horror, for
the master, after having dragged the
dazed Tim to the front of the room,
was proceeding to lay it on thick and
fast with the rod.
In a moment Eben was up and
shouting to the master, ooh, stop
am the thief. He is not guilty."
So Eben told his first lie. He re-
lceived the punishment instead of
Tim, though Tim did declare that
Eben was not guilty over and over
again.
Of, all masters are not so unrea-
sonable. They will listen to reason
but our Mr.. Krumble who was past
having any Joy in life, took the only
means offered to show his cruelty.
Also, believing that he knew a little
more than the average, he was not
averse to showing his knowledge off.
He found his pocket knife case about
two years after the incident quoted
above bad occurred. The case had
fallen into wooden box with a
cover, which the master used to keep
some law books in (for it was his Sc
cret deire to become lawyer When
he arose from his chair to dismiss the

box and breeze had banged the
