I love to hear a liar lie With full assurance bland. Wbtctodotb all feebls facts defy In freedom, wide and grand. That truthful glance that never quails That candid manner, too That carefulness to small detail That each seem strictly true; All these are qualities I love. All perfect and complete; Such fables I would ne'er disprove. Nor foil their fond conceit.

Where truthful versions weakly halt Or end Inane and flat. These take tbe mind by bold assault. And end "au fait" and pat. Tha facts, so commonplace and stale. That weigh our fancy's flight.

Ne'er clog tbe liar's charming tale Nor dim his vision bright. So let the cheerful liar lie. And lead him ea apace. Tbe world would seem a desert dry Without his sanguine race. Azaerlemsk Brevity.

A rich American presented himself one day at the studio of Sir John Millais. and without preamble began at once to speak. "Sir." he said. "I wish to take a present back to my wife. She says she would like to have my portrait painted by the very best artist in the country.

I have been told that you are the man. When can I have a -sitting?" "I am at present very busy," said Millais. "So am was the reply. "But I am a very expensive artist." "How much do you charge?" A large price was named. "Shall I give you a check now?" "Not at all." said Millais: "I merely men tioned it to prevent misunderstandings." 'How many sittings do you require?" "Five or six.

at the leat" "It you can do It In fewer so much the better, for I am a very busy man and my time is valuable." Millais enjoyed the manner In which hi own plea of being busy had been met, and agreed to paint him. London Good Words. Jot. It waa shortly after Christmas, and the other suit of clothes Wss donned Instead -ot holiday array. And thoughts of sordid cares, like shadows, once again arose To dim tbe memories bright of Christmas day.

When a sudden joy went through me; From the corner of my vest, To awaken me from musings that grew sad. I brought, from weeks it may have been from many months of rest. The dollar that I didn't know I had. LHce the nurget which gleams yellow en the half-despairing eys Of ths miner who so long has tolled la vain: Like the sail that's seen at last against a blank and cruel sky From the fragtle raft adrift upon the main; Like the butterfly that flutters, with a fascinating spell. Tb.rough.the hours when shine and roses make us glad.

A thing ot radiant beauty, from its dark, unnoted cell. Came the dollar that I didn't know I had. And the faces pictured on It grew beneficent and kind. Aa the unfamiliar features caught my glance. And they granted an exemption from the penalties we find When the fiddler must be paid by those who dance.

How visions of amall luxuries, dismissed with stern resolve Tn economic righteousness foil Came back, like gay kaleidoscopic rtgures to re volve 'Round tbe dollar that I didn't know I had. Washington Star. Fir The Sunday Inter Ocean. 'GENE'S BABIES. BY CHARLES GOULD BEEDE.

Two little babies, beautiful, purs: What will your future be? Now all tbe way for your tender feet Are tbe bowered paths ot a home-life sweet. And the bays we lay on the brow of the dead, cr your curly heads still a glory abed. Will the songs unsung, of the poet gone. Id tbe soul of your living sing on, sing on With a thread of grid for each web of ears? Will your father's g.fts be your noblest prsyer Or but wings to your destiny? Pray that tbe flowers which eawreathed his lays la our heart shall reblossom to bless your days: This msy your future be. Dcs Moines.
