COULDN’T OFT A WEOUE IN
A mau in a popular (Linking

laughing wager that, notwitlistand
i tg tliu well-known “temperance
notions” of a certain little news
dealer yelling out hts wares onjjlltt
curbing near. “ lie reckoned In
could get a drink down him if he
took It 111 iu hand once.’’ The wager
"“is accepted, and in couseqticnci
the matt, sauntering to the door,
signaled for a papo.r
Shindy was well known to the pro
prietor ol the place, who had inon
thau one tried “even exchange” ol
Iti3 wares lor those of llte boy, but
without success, Sandy's past en
counters in the city had taught him
-hut there was nothing like “pure
Bible” with will It to meet attacks
from the Evil one; or rather Sandy’s
monitor had tuugl.t him Hits, teach
ng him as well tliu Bible texts to
jo along with it. Hence, when the
me paying lor his paper on lh<-
stops of the saloon asked Sandy to
■onto iu and have a drink, tho boy
replied at tirst,—
‘ i never ilriuk, sir.”
But when the man insisted, saying
“it will not hurt you,” the lad re
plied quickly,—
•* *\V ine is a mocker, stronk drink
is raging! und whosoever is deceived
theiuby is not wise.’ ’’
■•\oti need not lie deceived by it. A
little will do you no harm, nnd will
make you feel pleasant,’’ replied the
man.
At the last it bitctli like ai ser
pent nnd stingotk like an adder,’
answeted the b iy stoutly.
“But, my lad, 1 really like you. 1
sec in you a tine boy lit lobe any
gentleman’s companion. It will
give me real pleasure to have you
drink a glass of refreshing wine
with mo,, ”
‘“it sinners cnlico thee consent
thou not,’ ” was the boy’s lust thrust
as, shuffling his papers, lie walked
away.
The man turned back into thu
room, discomfited.
“How did you succeed?” was
asked by the laughing bartender.
“He’s so full ol llte Bible you cant
get a wedge in tiny where,” was the
mans reply.—Scl.

“The system of having matrons

ties to thu police not to lock up
women in any station where there is

As llte barest suggestion oi their
invaluable service, wo give this

women 0,570; 237 destitute women
and 101 destitute children wore

ClIILDllLNS COLUMN.
WHY AKE YOU HONEST?
The VV. C. T. U. was not only
started to pledge women against
intemperance, hut that each mem -
her would study temperance litera
ture and acquaint themselves with
not only the work of each depart
ment, hut the science &cof true
temperance habits; also to study
Bible doctrine concerning it, so as
to he well posted, to train chil
dren on tho subject of being tem
perate in all things, and to promote
social purity and aid in all possible
ways God and Home an Native
land. If we never meet, pay dues,
uunch are literature &t how are
we to carry out tho wishes of the
society?
“Why am I honest?" says Will.
“I have been educated that wav. I
can’t very well help it. I have heard
about it morning, noon and night.’
Vou may be very thankful that you
have had tlmt home education.
Habits have long roots. Honesty
as a habit will be likely to send
its roots all through your manhood
it the plant have a good start in
\ OllLil.
“Why am I honest?” says Ii b.
• We.I, it seems to be rcspeutal lc.
I don’t think that really nice pet -1 lo
lie, cheat, or steal, and I want to go
iiwtliut set.” Nice people do not lie,
cheat or steal, as I classify people.
Sometimes, 111 so-called “good socie
ty,” you will IIud people who breuk
the eighth commandment in n sly
>vny, taking advantage of another’s
ignorance and keeping money that
belongs to the latter. I11 soeieU
that is morally good, people scowl
is on your face.
“Why am I hottest?” says Ned. “1
think it pays. Isn’t there an old
proverb that honesty is the host pol
icy?” Yes it is true in the long run.
I’oliev says, “Be honest. It is good
lor your best interests to be honest.”
If we lake the business world, a cer
tain measure of honesty is a neees-
rity. People that buy and people
iltui se.l must trust one another, and
such confidence rests on people’*
honesty. It is not good policy lot
me, if making chairs, to put togeth
er poor work and palm it olf 011 a
merchant as n good chair. He sells
it to a man who comes to the gronmi
while occupying it; he scolds the
merchant and refuses lo trade with
him; the merchant in turn comes lo
scold me uuJ will Imvo none of my
chairs. It does help 0110 to build up
among business men a reputation for
integ riiy.
T.-cro was a merchant In New
York (Arthur Tuppan), of whom it
is suiu that “his customers had the
fullest confidence tiiut when they
made purchases nt It's store ill ty
would not be cheated by tals^
weights and measures or fugitive
colors.” A merchant made this re
mark about linn: “If Arthur Tap-
pen will allow his name lo be pul up
on my store nnd sit iu an arm-chair
111 my counting room, 1 will pay him
three tlions.tad dollars a year.”
That man’s honesty became an ally
to him. I11 political life the man
scorning everything dishonest will
gain that respect and confidence ot
nis fellow citizens. I11 thu end it
will pay in politics, where tilings are
so cheap,
Ami yet, for the present, honesty
may not pay. Some poor fellows are
pressed into tight corners for their
integrity. A boy who cannot in a
store cover up with a lien poor place
iu the cloth, or by throwing iu a lie
niiiUe fifteen ounces weigh sixteen,
may perhaps lose itis place. Even
then 11 sutfuror through honesty will
have a present peace of mind that
certainly pays. That is the highest
wages honesty can pay—a good con
science that will let its sleep the
night through. And if one may be
a sufferer pecuniarily, even through
life, on account ol his honesty, in
the next life, there will bo un even
ing tip ol tilings. He lias saved his
character—himself.
“Because it is wrong;" let that bo
our great argument against dishon
esty. We will not ask whether any
body else does that way, whether
those at home or whether those in
llte better ranks of life have that
fashion, and whether it will pay for
any reason, hut whether a tiling be
right; and if it lie not right, we will
put it out of doors anil not make
room for it in our hearts.—Rev. E.
A. Rand, iu 8. 8. Visitor.

Uncle James watched the boys ns
they played a game of marbles in
front of the house. At least, Ned
und Harry wet e playing, anil talking
.midly und excitedly, but Will lean
ed against the fence with his hands
in his pockets and a very discon
tented h ok upon his luce. The
Itoys were so eager unit interested
in their play that they did not at
first notice Uncle James. But as
Harry won the game and stooped to
gather up the marbles, he caught
sight ol Itis uncle.
“Olt Uncle James!" he exclaimed,
“this is the sixth game I’ve won
right oil.”
"Yes,” said Will, iu an aggrieved
lone, “anti you anil Nett have got all
my marbles away from me.”
Harry laughed anil shook his
marble bag. “I only had five mar
bles when 1 began to play, uml I’ve
got a dozen now.”
“Sorry to see my nephews gam
bling,” said Uncle James, quietly.
“Gambling!” exclaimed Ned,
looking up from the ting Le was re
arranging; “who’s gambling?”
“If Harry strikes a marble to a
certain point he takes that marble,
does he not?” asked Uncle Junius.
“ Sir; but that isn’t gambling.”
“Isn’t it? Wliut do you think
gambling really is?"
“Why, men put down a lotof mon
ey, and take chances to win it with
cards or dice.”
“And when some boys put down
a lot of marbles, und take chances
to win them away from each other,
what do you call that?”
Will laughed, but Ned and Hurry
were silent. Uncle James went on—
“If you, Harry, had but five mar
bles when you began to play, and
by chance have won away all Will’s
and part of Ned’s except so far as
the value is concerned you might as
well have been playing lor money.
Gamblers proceed on exactly the
same plan. You boys shoot ;i mar

pends on a certain number on Ins
