II. Honesty.
A MERCHANT
required an
additional
clerk aud advertised
for a boy. The first
boy that answered
was ushered Into a
vacant room and told
to sit In a particular
chair and wait
Looking around, he
saw upon the floor
Just by tbe chair a
jawes t. white. one dollar bill, folded
closely, as though It bad been liiad
vertently dropped. Ho picked up the
bill, and, satisfying his conscience
that "finding Is having." wen though
on another's premises, he put It Into
his pocket Almost Immediately the
merchant came In and after a few
questions dismissed the boy as not
satisfactory. The next boy was seat
ed In the same chair, and he also saw
a one dollar bill lying In tbe same
manner beside him, but he picked It
up and laid it on the tuMe. The mer
chant entered and ifter some quen
tlons pointed to the bill and asked
where it enmo from. The boy said
he saw It on the floor nnd put it where
it would be wife. The merchant said,
"As It did not, appear to belong to
any one, why did you not keep It?"
Tho boy replied, "Because It did not
belong to me." "My boy," said the
merchant, "you have chosen tho roud
that Inevitably leudu to business suc
cess. The boy before you chose tho
wrong one. But bow did you ltarn
that this was the right path?" The
boy answered, "My mother made me
promise never under any elrcuni
stances to take what did not belong
to me, and I promised." Later In life
this boy became secretary of the treas
ury.
Honesty Is the sense of right which
prevents us from taking or using that
which does not rightly belong to us.
Honesty and truthfulness in their
broader sense mean the same thing.
Honesty Is the handmaiden of truth.
Honesty Is the one great fact in hu
man conduct. Society is like a build
Ing which stands firm ir it has a
strong foundation. The house that is
not bullded upon trustworthy founda
tlons is unsafe and Is of no use in the
world. "The three tools of precision
necessary In all building are the
square, the plumb line and the level."
So It Is In life; every transaction with
our fellows must bf square, every
thought must bo plumb, every motive
level.
Society exists because men trust
one another, so that a dishonest man
should hsive no place In civilized so
ciety. Stealing Is considered vulgar, nhd a
mnn of business would despise him
self to utoop to such low bred prac
tices. But stealing Is now a flue art,
and by stock uienlpulntlon, by adul
teration, by false weights, they con
tinue to steal like the common thief.
Capitalization Is Increased until Its
dividends puss out of per cent Into
what should properly be called larceny.
