The first thing a boy needs to learn is to tell the truth the plain unvarnished siniplo every day truth. Truth will save a boy heaps of trouble, no cud of hard work and a terrible strain upon the memory and conscience. When a boy tells a lio he will gen erally tell more to cover it up. It may sometimes seem hard to tell the truth the first time, but when the boy has told it there is an end to it, and a victory has been gain ed. Wlien one has told the truth once it is easy to tell it the next time and be saved from the sting ing whip of that old task-master, conscience. You will not have to stop when you have done so to re member how you told it yester day. You won't have to look around to see who is there who may have heard you when you told the stor3r the first time. You will not have to iuvent a lot of new lies to reinforce the old one. And then it is foolish for you to lio. You cannot pass oil a lie for the truth, auy more than you can get counterfeit money into circulation without being caught in the end. While you tell a lie somebody will know it. The other boys know you are a liar; your teacher knows it; your parents know it. And people who hear you tell whoppers know it. And people who know it talk about it to each other, if they don't speak of it to your face, and say that the boy who is in the habit of lying cannot be trusted anywhere. It is a dreadful thing to bo a liar. The boy who is in the truth on all occasions is the one whose couduct is generally good. And how people do trust a truthful boy! They never worry about him when he is out of their sight. They never fear that he is in bad company, and wonder what will become of him in the end. His parents don't have to ask him where he is going when he goes out of the house, and don't have to call him back and solemnly pray that he will not go wrong. When he says Yes I will and No I won't just once settles it. He may go where he will and we won't fret about him, says his parents or guardians; he tolls us once and that is enough. They don't have to say Sure? are you sure now? when he tells any thing. They would as soon think of asking the sun if it rose in the East this morning. Boys tell the truth for the salie of the truth, and all good people will love and respect you. The truth will always be a comfort aud everlast ing blessing, while a lio will live in the memory for fifty years if you live as long. Ex. Their Secret Is Out. All Sadieville, Ky., was curious to learn the cause of the vast im provememt in the health of Mrs. S. P. Whittaker, who had for a long time, endured untold suffer ing from a chronic bronchial trouble. "It's all due to Dr. King's New Discovery," writes her husband.

"I can't see why they put those fine pictures of great men on our money," said the discontented man. "It serves to keep them in the public mind." "Not at all. In the case of a one dollar bill you cau't hold on to it long enough to get acquaint ed, and if its a twenty the chances are that you don't see it at all. " A little girl standing by the curb as one of her father's par ishioners drove up while smok ing a cigar, thus accosted him': "My, Do you smoke?" "Sorry to say I do," auswered the member. "Well, my papa does too, but he goes up to his study where God can't see him." "Of course, Susan, if you in tend to get married, that is your own business," said the mistress to the cook, "but you musn't for get that marriage is a very seri ous matter." "Yes, ma'am, I know it is some times," remarked the domestic, "but maybe I'll have better luck than you did." An elderly gentleman was hur rying to catch a train. He was rather short of stature and stout of body; but notwithstanding that, he was making great head way, and moved at a rare pace. A friend, happening to see him, yelled out in a good humored way: "Now, Mr. Green, where are you going? Are you training for a race?" "No," shouted Mr. Green, "I am racing for a train." A Chiuaruau once applied for the position of cook in a family in an American city. The lady of the house and most of the fam ily were members of a fashion able church, and they were de termined to look well after the character of the servants. "Do you drink whisky?" "No," said he, "I Clistian man." "Do you play cards?" "No, I Clistian man." He was employed and gave great satisfaction. He did his work well, was honest, upright, correct and respectful. After some weeks the lady ga ve a "pro gressive euchre" party and had wines at tjie table. John China man was called upon to serve the party, and did so with grace and acceptability. But next morn ing he waited on the lady and wished to quit work. "Dear me, what is the matter?" she inquired. John Chinaman answered: "Ah, I Clistian man; told you so before, no heathen.

It should always be the purest, and above all things truthfulness and an abstinence from gossip should characterize it. Young minds are exceedingly impressible and oftentimes parents are respon sible for the follies of their off spring, who in later days are sad ly addicted to the habits they acquire at homo. Does Advertising Pay? The question is frequently ask ed "Does advertising pay?" John Wanamakor pays over $1000 a day just for advertising hta Phila delphia store. Lie uses a pago ad vertisement in 5 different daily papers in Philadelphia. They are as follows: Press, $GO,000; Ledger $00,000; Times, $50,000; North American, $75,000, and the Even ing Telegraph, $50,000. Up to a few mouths ago Mr. Wanamakor was using a pago in the Kocord at the rate of $87,500, a year, which would have made an annual expenditure of $32,500. When he wanted to renew his advertis ing contract with the Record the publishers asked $-5,000 moro.or a total of $112,500. Mr. Wana maker refused to pay the amount, thinking no one else would pay that sum for the pago. The pro position was made to Lit Brothers who accepted the contract with out a moment's hesitation, and thcyire now paying the enor mous sum of $112,500 for use of a pago in the Record for one year. The circulation of the Record now runs about 190,000 a day. If advertising does not pay how can those firms spend fortunes every year for a single page of a news paper. Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, of Ben uettsville, S. C, was once im mensely surprised. "Through long suffering from Dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great dis tress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which help ed her at once, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It's a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver." For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach and liver troubles it's a positive, guaran teed cure. Only 50c at W. S. Dickson's. Thoughts on Man. Many a "lord of creation" has taken to fancy hosiery, even lace effects. Worse yet, in some cases he's tho very man who said cut ting things when the fair ones under his wing adopted them some years ago. Have you noticed that the male who will not allow his unhappier half to wear even a lounging robe without a belt is the very one to go in his suspenders? because, forsooth, a belt gives him confin ed, uncomfortable sensation. And of all sad sights the sus pondered shirt waist man is the saddest. The bigger and fatter tho man the more determined is he tocling to the outside seat of the open car. 'Twould serve him right if some big woman who can hardly pull past should drop on his lap and so continue to her destina tion. It's a scheme with some men to send their wives away for the summer. It gives the lady in the case time to think what "a dear" hubby is anyway, and to long to get back again. Though a man admire house plants, never dream of leaving them in his care if they be worth anything. No matter what his promises, they'll not bo safe. P. T. Thomas, SumterviUe, Ala., "I was suffering from dys pepsia when I commenced taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I took several bottles and can digest anything." Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only preparation con taining all the natural digestive fluids. It gives weak stomachs j entire rest, restoring their nat ural condition.

It is said that tweuty thousand people attended tho colored camp meeting at Conococheague Island in Franklin county last Sunday. Kitchen Hints. A whisk broom is just the thing to clean a horseradish grater. A special broom should bo kept for tho kitchen and pavomeuts. Drain pipes should be regular-' ly cleaned at least xjneo a week, with lime water, carbolic acid or chloride of lime. Pickles of vinegar will not keep in a jar that has ever had any kind of grease kept in it. Clam shells are more conven ient for scraping pots and kettles than a knife, requiring less time to remove the burnt surfaces. If grease is spilled on the kitchen floor or table, cold water poured on it at once will prevent the spot from soaking into the wood, Greaso stains can bo removed from matting by first wetting them with alcohol and then wash ing them with suds made from white castile soap. Put a little household ammonia on a rag and clean off the rolls of a wringer before putting it away. If the ceiling becomes smoked from a lamp, wash off the black ened surface with a little weak soda water. Lamp chimneys may be quick ly cleaned by rubbing them with a clean soft cloth and polishing with a piece of newspaper. A scorch mark, if not too heavy may bo removed by moistening with water aud laying in the sun. Repeat the moistening two' or three times until the spots disap pear. Drink Hot Drinks. It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks during tho summer months are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase tho feverish condi tion of the mouth and stomach, and so create thirst. Experience shows it to be a fact that hot drinks relieve thirst, and "cool off" the body when it is in an ab normally heated condition better than ice cold drinks. It is far better and safer to avoid the free use of drinks below CO degrees, iu fact a higher temperature is to be preferred; and those who are much troubled with thirst will do well to try the advantages to be derived from hot drinks instead of cold fluids to which they have been accustomed. Hot drinks also have the advantage of aiding digestion, instead of causing de bility of the stomach and bowels. 10 Day Excursion to Ocean Grove via C. Y. R. R. and P. R. R.

According to the Railroad Age the railway mileage of the United States in 1900 was 195,000 miles, against 70,000 miles in 1876. In the first half of 1901 1,967 miles were built.

Alphabet on a Pin's Head. . Mr. Harvey A. House), an en graver, has accomplished tho dif ficult feat of engraving all of the letters of the alphabet on the head of an ordinary pin, says tho Bal timore Sun. Mr. Housoal heard that the feat could bo done, bnt doubted tho statement and start ed out to prove whether or not it was true. He was surprised to find that he mado better. progress than ho expected, and, after two failures, succeeded on tho third attempt. The time occu pied in the feat was about un hour and a half. Mr. Houseal first ground the pin-head until it had a flat sur face. The letters which, are all capitals, are engraved in two con centric circles those from A to Q being in tho second. The space which was left in the center of the two circles is occupied by the character &. Mr. Housoal is 25 years old. Shtppensburg had a $38,000 fire last Saturday night. Among other buildings destroyed was the Methodist Episcopal church. The edifice had cost tho congre gation $15,000, aud they had just finished paying off the debt against it.

Some years ago he visited Russia and wrote up the Siberian couvict system. The statements startled the civ ilized world, and made the Rus-" sian government bitterly angry.
