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.

Address THE HOME JOURNAL, Perky, Ga. 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.” Subscribe for the Home Journal 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”.
