Good Lesson The teacher was pi vine the clasa a lecture on honesty. "Now, then," he said, pointing to a boy In the back row, "suppose a friend, lent you his overcoat, and, putting it on, you found in one of the pockets a quarter which your friend had completely forgotten, You wouldn't keep that ijuurter, would sou?" "Certainly not." "That's right." said the teacher. "What would you do?" "I would spend It." 2 N. State Street f tT T ii T T ? ? ? T ? ? T f fT i T T Elgin, III.
