something pleasant to you do not
have to back it up with an affidavit
as to their veracity. They know
you will believe them, anyhow.
Perhaps it is because the overly
truthful are so often mean, and spite
full and cruel, and enviOus, and use
their truth speaking as a cloak for
the dirty work they are too coward
ly to do in the open that we all give
Truthful James and Neracious Jane
a wide berth and clasp Ananias and
Siphira to our bosoms.
For better any day is a cheerful
liar than the truth teller who wounds
you to the quick and turns life to
dust and ashes on your lips.
Now we are all miserable sinners.
We admit it. We are full of faults
and foibles. We have our weak
nesses, and our little vanities, and
we know that often enough we make
ourselves ridiculous in the eyes of
our fellow creatures, and that there
are none so mean as to do us reVer-
ence.
But we also have our good points.
We have our great moments. In
the general rubbish of our charac-
ters is hidden some jewel of purest
ray. We may be a bore, tiresOme
and prosy, but we have stood the
gaff of life like a soldier. We may
be fat and homely, yet have the soul
of an angel. We may be fussy and
have curious little ways, and yet
prove ourselves a hero in some great
crisis.
When all is said, we are not so
bad. and yet the people who feel it
their sacred duty to tell you the
truth never have any cOmpulston on
their cOnsciences to tell you the
pleasant truths. Their obligation is
always the other way.
If NeraciOus Jane hears that a
wOman's husband is philandering
around with other women, and that
he has taken his stenogra pher out
to dinner, she can't get her hat on
quick enough to run around and tell
the wife about it. But she has no
urge to go and to tell the women
the truth who have husbands who
don't know that there's another
petticoat in the world except their
own wives.
Yet it breaks the heart of the
woman who has a wandering hus
band to hear the truth about him.
and it would make the other women
happy to hear the truth about
theirs

ened criminals volunteering to let
themselves be hanged in order that
the baseball team of their iron bar
red "alma mater" might acquire an
unbeatable baseball pitcher, Is pre-
sented at San Quentin prison here.
The baseball pitcher in whose
stead they offered to suffer death
is Clarence C'Tuffy') Reid, nineteen
year-old farmer-newsbOy, of Los
Angeles, gangster and murderer.
Two of the convict trio who are
willing to go to the gallows in his
stead are members of the prison
baseball team, to which Reid is
recent recruit. The other is just
rabid convict fan, who literally
speaking, would rather give his life
than see the 'home team beaten.

less than two weeks ago snatched

an eleventh-hour court reprieVe as
the 2allows was being made ready
for him, today is the pride of San
less than one chance in a thousand
for his life, and none whatever for
his liberty, it is probable the big
league scouts would be interested in
his pitching ability.
Sensational Pitching
Twice within ten days now the
condemned youth, with the shadow
of death constantly lurking before
his eyes. has pitched the prison team
to sensational victory. In the first
game. on Labor day, against a
strong nine from the Bank of Cali
fornia San Francisco, he scored a
/ to victory, striking out twelve
batsmen and allowing but three hits.
Again on Tuesday, in a prison game
celebrating California s admission to
the union, he pitched his fellow con-
victs to a victory over the fast Mer-
camille Trust team, of San Fran
cisco, allowing five hits and strik-
ing out nine men.
The offer of his fellow cOnvicts to
substitute for Reid on TIE gallOws.
provided his life be spared for the
prison baseball team, was made fol
lowing Tuesdays game. A delega-
ton of conVicts sent word TO the
warden that they desired to present
a very imports llitlItl w liz ID
the warden responded the spokes-

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

Same WY about your children.
1T is only the things you don't want
to hear about your children that
Truthful James and Veracious Jane
are impelled to tell you. Johnny
and Susie may have been as good
as gold and walked the straight and
narrow path for 3G4 days during the
year, and no clam could have been
silenter about them than the afore-
said Truthful James and Veracious
Jane. They pinned no gOodconduct
medal on the youngsters.
On the 365th day, however, let
Johnny be seen driving a car too
fast, or Susie wearing dress of
which Truthful James and Neracious
Jane Go not approve and dancing a
step that they didn't dance when
they were young, and they cannot
rest in their beds until they come
and tell you that your young ones
are town talk and are headed
straight for perdition.
And did you ever notice that it is
only when you are sick and worn
out, and your complexion has got
the color of saIeratus biscuit, or
y
of fat and have developed a feather
bed figure that really truthful peo-
pie tell you how you look?
They don't say a word as long as
you are fit and fine, and willowy
and easy on the eyes. 1t is only
when the truth is solar pleXus
blow to you that they hand it to you.
In like manner you may be a fash
ion plate, as to your clothes, for
years and years without ever once
getting a word of commentator
from the truth speaker. But appear
once in a made-over gown or an in
discreet hat and she's on the job.
"My dear, how cleverly you have
furnished up that old dress that
you've been wearing for the last two
years, [ declare it almost looks
like new. But your hat! Really,
dearie, you know l always speak
the truth and say just what I think.
and [ don't feel that I should be
acting the part of a friend if I did
not tell you that it is ten years too
young for YOU and brings out every
line in your face"
OF course, in society we can step
wide of the truth tellers, and we do,
but in the home circle we are at
their mercy We cannot escape
them except by death, divorce or de
sertion, and so we must endure them
as best we may. And, alas, in many
homes the telling of unpleasant
truths is accounted a virtue
The husband does. not hesitate to
tell his wife that she has lost her
looks; that she is getting old and
frumDy; that she hasn't enough sense
to know what she is talking about,
and every time the dinner isn't up
to the mark he tells her how poor
a cook she is. Mother tells father
how different he is from the man
she thought she was marrying; what
a poor figure he cuts in society;
what d pinhead he is not to be able
to make more money, and both
monologue about every fault the
children have
Father never says word about
mothers love and devotion. Mother
never mentions fathers sacrifices
and toll for his family. Neither one
of them ever gives a word of praise
to the children, yet the one set of
truths is just as true as the other.
What a pity we don't tell the
pleasant truths and suppress the I'M
pleasant ones!
