JUDGED OTHERS BY HIMSELF

Small, Persistent Jibber Inugined Colored Man Had Been Punished In the Customary Way. There are no negro settlers In the portion of the Ozark Mountains of ArkanMs traversed by the St. Paul branch of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad. Accordingly many children grow to the age when they attend high school before they see a colored man

Little Johnny had been a resident of Combs, Ark., all his life. He was an adept at fibbing and to break him of the habit his mother painted a little spot on his with ink every time she caught him fibbing. The result was that some days he would have several black spots on his hands. A hew railroad Is building from Combs south, and some of the grading contractors imported negroes to drive teams. One day Johnnie raff to bis mother very excitedly, and exclaimed:

“Mamma, I have seen the biggest liar in the world. His mother must have used a whole bottle of Ink on him! Come and see him!” The mother went to the door and Johnny pointed to a negro driving by with a team of supplies.—Kansas City Star.
