" In his last card Col. English said that 'Col. Graves is such a continu ous liar that it is impossible to speci fy the myriad lies he has told during the course of this affair.' Col.

"I ;uppose you will do what I tell you? "Yes, sir.'" "If I told you to say sugar was igh-grade, when it was low, what ,vould you say?" Hesitatingly the boy said, "I'd say "If I told you to say coffee was ure, when it had beans, in it, what vould you say?" "I'd say it." The merchant was nonplussed. 'How much would you work for?". ie inquired very seriously. "One hundred dollars a week.'" the )oy answered in a business like tone. "One hundred dollars a week!" re ;ponded the grocery man. "With percentage after the first Wo weeks.'' said the boy coolly. - You see.'" he went on, first-class iars come high. and if you need them j n your business you'll have to pay :he price; but I'll tell the truth and Iork for three dollars a week.*' The. oy caught the grocer at his owni ~ame and got the job.
