^There was recently published
the Htory ofa man who, at the
age of 47, found himself out of
work-and with a large family to
support. No one wanted to" em
ploy a man of that age, and so he
dyed his hair, shaved and put on
lpom youthful clothing, then sal
lied forth to try to get work, an
nouncing his age to be 34 years.
Hu succeeded in obtaining an ex
cellent position, which he held for
four years, duriug which time he
steadily rose until his employers
offered him a partnership, at the
same time asking his age..
“To tell the truth,” the
story runs, “would reveal the
deception he had practic
ed. His thinking had to be
done quickly, and his decision
reached without the appearance
of hesitation. He gave the an
swer which seemed best to him at
that moment, and he had no sub
sequent occasion to regret it.”
Now the question is, would the
man, having told a lie the first
time have been justified in telling
a second lie to keep his place?
There can be only one answer.
Actual starvation could not, mor
tally speaking, have excused the
first lie, and a second lie would
have added another sin to the
first. Such sins are sure to meet
with punishment at one time or
another, and, as we are told that
the man never had cause to regret
the reply he gave when offered the
partnership, we may naturally as-
urne that he told the truth con
cerning his oge.

Ho Was a Bright Boy.
“I believe that I have the
brightest office boy in the city,”
declared ,a"gentleman to a friend
in a certain wellknown cafe in the
city this morning, says the Mem
phis Scimitar.
“That is a rather broad asser
tion,” replied the friend. “What
particular claim to brightness has
your boy?”
“Well, I have bad lots of troub
le with my office boys of late, and
they have been so decidely unsat
isfactory and. worthless that I
have had at least fifteen in the
last thirty days. I have kept a
sign out on my door stating that
I was in need of a -bright boy’s
services, for the entire time, al
most, and it reads as follows:
‘Boy Wanted About Sixteen
Years.’ The boy I have now was
secured in response to the sign,
and it was his answer more than
his appearance that secured him
the place.”
“How was that?” queried the
friend with*some, interest.
“The boy slouched into the of
fice and said he had read the sign.
‘Do you want the place?’ I asked
him. ‘Guess I do,’ he replied,
‘but I dont know that I would
want it for the full sixteen years.’
I employed him on the spot when
I realized that I had omitted the
comma from the sign.”

There’s a story of a farmer and
bis son driving a load to s market.
Of the team they were driving one
was a steady reliable old gray
mare the other a fractious, balky
black horse. On the way the
wagon was stalled and the black
horse sulked and refused to pull.
“What’41 we do father?” said the
young man. “Well” said the
father, “I guess we will have to
lay the gad on the old gray.”
That homely compliment to wom
an: “The gray mare is the bet
ter horse” suggests how often
when there is an extra strain to
be be borne it is laid on the wom
an’s back. How often she breaks
down at last under the added
weight of some “last straw”.
