No one ever questions a statement made by Bob Bryant. So when Bob came to town Saturday afternoon from his farm in the Pleasant Valley section and began to circulate among his friends on Main street all were anxious to learn the news from his neigborhood, confident that he knew what was worth telling and that what he said could be relied upon. Bob said that his neighbors were as busy as bees contesting between showers the efforts of the grass to capture tneir cotton and corn. His own farming operations were running along smoothly. This year he was paying particular attention to hounds and frizzled chickens. Recently he had been unfortunate in the loss of a hound pup which was run over by an automobile, but better luck came his way when it appeared that he had also lost one of the five frizzled chickens to which he has devoted much attention since the early spring. A chicken hawk swooped down on his flock of five and hurriedly left with the most promising frizzly in its talons. The hawk flew to a wood some distance away and alighted, with tne chicken still in his talons. The squawking chicken waked a nigger who was asleep on a log. The negro saw the hawk depost the chicken on the ground and then with a critical eye survey it fore and aft. This hawk was a connoisseur. He didn't like the appearance of Bob's frizzly and rather than steal a fowl which he could not eat, he again took the chicken in his talons, this time tenderly, and returned it to Bob's barnyard. Tell the Truth. Is there any power in cunning, in shrewd, long-headed deceptive methods that can for a moment compare with the truth, with absolute integrity? isks Success. There is no advertisement in the world, in the long run, that :an compare with that which comes from the reputation of always and sverywhere telling the exact truth, of aeing absolutely reliable. This reputation alone has made the names of some of the great business houses in this country worth millions of dollars. Every time a man decieves he knows that he has to cover his tracks. He is ilways on thorns for fear of discovery, for everything in his own nature is tryng to betray him; but when he tells the truth, because he is built on the truth plan, he has ail the universe sustaining, supporting, backing him. What a difference there is between the power of a man who is telling the truth and is conscious that he is backed by the eternal principle of right and justice, and the man who is lying and is conscious of it. % One can look the world in the face without wincing, because he feels that he is backed by eternal principle; there is victory in his eye, assurance in his i/erv bearing, while there is something within the other man which savs, "1 am a liar; 1 am not a man. 1 know I am not a man, but a sneak, a makebelieve."
