Honesty Is .one of the leading. prlnciples tauglit in the public schools, and the teachers begin early to 1 oppress the value of this trait in character on the minds of the P u * pils. A gouth Chicago teacher had a -pupil who gave her much sorrow by his unfortunate habit of fibbing on every possible occasion. One day she kept hjm after school and gave him a serious “talking to.” “dust look at the life of George Washington,” shesaid, “he couldn’t tell a lie.” “Huh,” remarked the unregenerate youth, “what was the matter with him?”

The time needed for customary repairs will Be made brief, many large plants under pressure of orders , being forced to minimize the loss In production. | New demands in manufacturing branches this week made a better aggregate than expected, and current Inquiries indicate heavy bookings in Iron, steel, railroad equipment and power are to be mad&- after New Year’s. Distributive trade maintained a satisfactory volume. Wholesale dealings in general merchandise are conservatively placed at 15 per cent over last year’s high aggregate. The iron industries lead in the progress made, the gain averaging at least 25 per cent, Including capacity operated for the first time. Notwithstanding the enormous tonnage completed, structural mills remain much behind upon old work and make steady additions to heavy commitments running well into next spring.' ' Wire producers are booked up six months ahead, electric works have a remarkably fine outlook, and there is increasing request for implements, heavy hardware and machinery. Carmaking and shipbuilding capacity is engaged for almost all of 1906. Prospects are also most encouraging In the Woodworking trades. Buying of supplies for the leading manufactures and construction remains strong, although costs have risen welt above the average of a year ago. Bank clearings have established a new high -level, ami affirm the year’s material advance: Uoc-al financial affairs cause no apprehension. With the January disbursements there may be returning ease in the local money market, but the present stiff rate of 6 per cent is unlikely to end soon unless the need for funds has subsided. Sales of local securities fell much under the volume of 1904, yet prices scored a higher average and the market discloses no speculative operations. Liquidation of the three banks recently entered upon has proceeded very promptly. in Chicago district this week number 19, against 18 last week and 19 a year ago. Total defaults for the year number 1,278, against 1,348 for 1904. Those rated $5,000 capital and upward aggregated 146, a favorable showing as compared with the 393 last year. Bank clearings, $201,173,042, exceed those of the corresponding week last year by 29.2 per cent.—Dun’s Review of Trade.

the country, distributive trade seems quiet by contrast, more particularly as unseasonably mild weather affects retail operations in seasonable heavy wearing apparel. What is bad for retail business is, however, good for outdoor industry, particularly building. Additional reports as to trade in the year now closing point to 1905 having been a record-breaker alike in agricultural, speculative, financial and industrial circles. As to the future, the outlook seems full of promise, and the advent of 1900 is awaited with confidence unsurpassed in recent years.

After they had been at it about ten minutes one of them fell, and immediately yelled, “Enough, I’ve enoughl” But his opponent kept on pouaeftpg him until a man who was watching them said: “Why don*t you let him up?

AWFUL ITCHING ON SCALP.

Hair Finally Had to Be Cut to Save Any—Scalp Now in Good Condition —Cured by Cuticura. “I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a diseased scalp, dandruff, and constant falling of hair. Finally I had to cut my hair to save any at all u Just at that time I read about the Cuticura Remedies. Once every week I shampooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap, and I used the Ointment twice a week. In two months’ time my hair was long enough to do up in French twist. That is now r five years ago, and I have a lovely head of hair. The length is six inches below my waist line, my scalp is in very good condition, find no more dandruff or itching of the scalp. I used other remedies that were recommended to me ns good, but with no results. Mrs. W. F. Griess, Clay Center, Neb., Oct. 23, 1905."
