CALLOUS CRIMINALS ON THE SCAFFOLD. Dr. Walford Bodie, the public entertainer, has compiled Stipe Sties. Out of this vast experience he is able to provide a most varied assortment. One of the peculiar people he met was Billington, the bangunan, who acted as watchman, along with the entertainer, of a woman, who had been put into a trance and placed in a coffia. Between midnight and four 'clock in the morning he got the hangman to narrate some of the experiences.

"You mentioned Neill Cream," said Billing. 100. it's odd that he should come first to your mind. I have banged many people in my time, but never and that I was so glad to hang as

THE TRUTH ALWAYS / was an experienced old diplomat who said this "When you are in doubt tell the 'truth." It to a beginner in the work. It may pass in some things, but not in business. Fraud and decop- tlon are often profitable so long as concealed; yet detection is certain, sooner or later; then comes the smash-up and the punishment. The best and safest way is to tell the truth all the time. Thus you make friends that stick by you, and a reputation that is always worth twenty shillings to the pound everywhere your goods are offered for sale. We are able modestly to affirm, that it is on this basis that the world. wide popularity of
