Over One-half Century of Married Life. Dr. T. J. Dulan, 1619 T. Walnut street, celebrated his 80th birthday Tuesday, August 4th, to an open house. Many of his friends and neighbors, both old and young, called to see him and his wife and they were recipients of many beautiful and useful presents and many cut flowers. This dear old couple should always be cherished and remembered, as they have lived a happy wedlock for nearly sixty years. Dr. Dulan was born in Littleton, Virginia, August 4, 1834. He came to the state of Missouri in early boyhood days. Miss Mary J. Braxton and Rev. Dulan were married on December 27, 1854, at Hamibal, Mo., in the home of the bride's parents, after which they lived some years in Missouri. In those days he was one of the foremost Baptist ministers and had charge of many churches in Missouri. In 1878 they came to the state of Iowa, city of Des Moines, and, as he terms it, God's country. For some years he had charge of the Baptist church. In later years he began to take up his practice as magnetic doctor. He has had a continued active practice. His amiable wife has not had good health, but she has been one of those good, true and faithful ones who has assisted him in caring for many of the sick and afflicted coming from all over the state and other states, and they have made good. Sincere birthday wishes extended by all and may their future be the brightest and their trouble be the lightest. CALESBURG ILL. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Wilder spent Ais.

MUST HAVE PERMIT Government Supervision Over Importations of Live Stock. Secretary of Agriculture Has Authority to Make Such Regulations as He Deems Proper to Prevent Introduction of Diseases. Washington.—In case you are a breeder of live stock and desire to import a number of animals for breeding purposes or possibly a purebred bull, boar or ram for the improvement of your herd or flock, it will be well to know that the federal government maintains a strict supervision over the entry of such animals into this country. The same scrutiny is exercised over deer, goats or other pet animals, which foreign travelers sometimes wish to bring home as pets or as a memorie of their pets. In such case it will be advisable to make a purchase or engaging space for the animals on a stamship until you have ascertained just what requirements govern importations of such animals. By act of congress, the secretary of agriculture is given authority to make such regulations and take such measures as he may deem proper to prevent the introduction or dissemination of any contagious, infectious or communicable disease of animals from a foreign country into the United States. Under such authority, regulations of the department of agriculture require that any person contemplating the importation of cattle, sheep and other ruminants, and swine, from any part of the world except North America, must first obtain from the secretary of agriculture two permits. One of these permits upon presentation to the American consul at the port of shipment will entitle the specified animals to a clearance; the other will assure that the animals will be properly and entry subject to observation in quarantine at the port of entry on the date prescribed for their arrival or at any time during three weeks immediately following. This leeway allows for any unavoidable delay, through bad weather or other cause, in the steamer's schedule. Three animal quarantine stations are provided on the Atlantic seaboard near the ports of Boston, New York and Baltimore for the detention of imported stock. The animals included in this regulation are cattle, sheep, goats and other ruminants, swans and collie, shepherd or sheep dogs. All animals from parts of the world other than North America are subject to this quarantine regulation. If no disease develops while the animals are detained at the quarantine station the owner is permitted to ship them to their ultimate destination in this country. All animals of the classes named and which are subject to both inspection and quarantine must be entered through these ports. Cattle from Great Britain, Ireland and the Channel islands are held in quarantine for a period of 30 days. If from other countries, except those of North America, the quarantine period is 90 days counting from date of shipment. Sheep and swine from any part of the world, except North America, are subject to a quarantine of 15 days. The department of agriculture receives periodically official reports from various foreign countries concerning conditions as regards existence of certain communicable diseases of live stock. These enable the secretary of agriculture to determine countries from which certain animals cannot be imported without danger to the live stock of the United States. No permits are granted for importations from such countries. For instance, owing to prevalence of foot-and-mouth disease and other communicable diseases in countries of the old world and South America, importations of cattle, sheep, other ruminants and swine have for several years been forbidden from North America. This work is aimed to exclude communicable diseases, a number of which are unknown in this country, any of which, if introduced, would result in great loss to our live stock industry. Persons interested may obtain the latest regulations (B. A. I. order 209, effective July 1, 1914), on application to the chief of the bureau of animal industry, department of agriculture, Washington. The most notable progress yet recorded in the chemical treatment of timber to prevent decay was made in 1913, according to a report recently issued by the American Wood Preservers' association in co-operation with the forest service of the department of agriculture. The report states that 93 wood-preserving plants in 1913 consumed over 108,000,000 gallons of cresco oil, 25,000,000 pounds of dry zinc chloride, and nearly 4,000,000 gallons of other liquid preservatives. With these the plants treated over 153,000,000 gallons of cresco oil, per cent more than in 1912. The output from additional plants unrecorded would increase the totals given Impregnation of wood with oils and chemicals to increase its resistance to decay and insect attack, the report goes on to say, is an industry which has become important in the United States only in recent years. In Great Morganatic Marriages. In the British royal family morganatic marriages have been very frequent, especially in the eighteenth century, and it was to check these marriages by royal princes that the act was passed by which no marriage within the family is valid unless the assent of the sovereign has been given. The most recent of the morganatic unions was that of the late Duke of Cambridge, whose wife was known as Mrs. Fitz George. Britain and most of the European countries practically every wooden cross-tie and telephone or telegraph pole receives preservative treatment. In the United States less than 30 per cent of the 135,000,000 cross-ties annually consumed are treated, and the proper treatment of an annual consumption of 4,000,000 poles may be said to have scarcely commenced. The dates from 1832, when the Kyanitizing process, using bichlorides of mercury, was developed. In 1887 two other processes were introduced, the Burnett process, using zinc chloride, and the Bethel process, using coal tar crocose. These last processes are very largely in use today. The idea of timber preservation at first made very slow growth in this country, on account of the large supply of cheap and durable timbers and the general disregard of natural resources. In 1893 there were only three pressure plants in the United States; and in 1895 only 15. Since then, however, the industry has grown rapidly; in 1913 there were 117 plants. The secretary of commerce and the secretary of agriculture have completed plans whereby their Timber Supply, two departments in a constructive study of the supply and exploitation of timber in the United States, which has now become one of the big conservation and industrial problems. The study is to be undertaken in the belief that the methods used in exploiting timber resources and the restoration of normal and healthy conditions in the timber with convert timber in usable products, will really concern the public at large. One of the conditions which, in the opinion of the secretaries, make this study of immediate importance, is the fact that the United States, which contains some three thousand billion feet of standing timber, is now reducing its stock of stumpage at the rate of about 10 billion feet annually. In spite of this limited timber supply, lumbermen are now unable to market much of the poorer grades. They therefore leave in the woods or burn in their mills from one-third to one-half of the material in the trees. Poor varieties of timber often are not cut at all, but are left to be burned in the slash fires which usually follow logging. Some of this waste it is impossible to recover, is hope can be saved under improved conditions of marketing and use of wood. For Protection of Fur Animals. commerce. They were issued in accordance with the act of congress which gave the secretary authority to protect the seal fisheries of Alaska, and become effective at once. Under the new regulations the hunting or killing of sea otter is prohibited until November 1, 1920, and beaver until November 1, 1920, seased seasons are assumed as follows: On land on otter and mink from April 1 to November 15 each year; on marten (American sable), from March 15 to November 15; on weasel (ermine), from March 15 to November 15; on muskrat, from June 1 to November 30; on lynx (wildcat), from March 1 to November 15; and on fox, from March 15 to November 15. The killing of black bear, wolf, wolverine, squirrel and hare (rabbit) is permitted at all times, and land otter and mink may be taken. From March 15 to June 30 each year, and foxes, except from March 15 to June 30. The use of poison in the killing of fur-bearing animals is prohibited at all times, as is also the killing of any animal whose skin or pelt is not prime. Heavy penalties are provided for violation of the new regulations. If the railroads of the United States were to pay the maximum legal in- Railroads Kill 10.150 in Year 30 last they would disburse $101,150, to widows, orphans and other dependents of the victims. The report of railway accidents for the last fiscal year now being prepared by the interstate commerce commission discloses a death toll of 10,150 persons, the greater number of whom were employees. During the same period 190,000 persons were injured in railroad accidents. Confronted by this graphic evidence of the deadness of the American railroad the commission has decided that radical steps must be taken to achieve a greater measure of safety for employees and travelling public. In the efforts of the commission so far have resulted in some progress so the direction of "safety first," the improvement is shown by the official figures to be slight. For the last fiscal year the number killed was only $14 less than for the previous year. During the last 25 years more than 210,000 persons have been killed on American railroads and more than 2,000,000 injured. The property loss due to wrecks since 1907 totals $62,000,000.

There were a good many morganatic marriages in the last century in the Hohenzollern family, but the last seems to have been in 1853, when Prince Albrecht, the elder brother of the Emperor William I, married Fraulein von Rauch.

True, his first wife was an American, a Virginian, and his three daughters were born in this country, for his residence herein is not limited by his term of office as plenipotentiary; but nevertheless he is a Hollian, not an American. His shrewd, kindly eyes have seen much in America that is denied to the native who cannot have his perspective. The result of all his observations may be summed up in the statement that they have given him an almost passionate desire that Americans may know Latin-America as he knows it, that Latin-Americans may know America as he knows it. He analyzes the United States as a nation of ideals, more idealistic in its thoughts and impulses than any other nation.

In 1879 Spoo Pee, returning from a hunt, found his camp in ruins, his mother, father and other relatives, killed. His wife and children were missing. He wandered over the hills alone, hungry, and friendless. He came upon a camp of several white men. He asked for water and for something to eat. This was refused. The white man, Charles Willemsly, a prospector, told Spoo Pee to keep away from him if he didn't want to be killed. One thing led to another. A quarrel ensued and the Indian shot. The miner was killed. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and he was sent to the criminal ward of the Government Hospital for the insane. Which is Arizonaese for carrying a pistol. This conclusion is wrong, however. The beetling eminence swelling from the rugged flank of Representative Hayden and dominating the scene, as the critics put it, is no massed artillery of deadly automatic; it is nothing more formidable than a hip pocket crammed full of handkerchiefs. "I wear 'em there so it's feel more like my natural self," explains the representative from the newest state. "You see, when I was sheer, I packed a gun on that hip for so many years that it got to be just like clothes on me; I'd as soon have thought of leaving off my boots. I observed last winter, however, that guns were no longer worn in the East by the best dressers, and wishing to be in style, I laid mine aside. "I felt so blamed uncomfortable without it, though—so sort of half-dressed and like I wasn't fit to appear in ladies' society—that I stuffed a lot of pocket handkerchiefs down in that hip pocket; now I feel more decent and respectable." beth to cross the muddy way!

Lady Maldstone, formerly Margareta Drexel, is more in the picture this year than for some time, but, of course, she moves in quite a different set from Lady Decies, whose friends are all social celebrities. It is the intellectual crowd that attracts Anthony Drexel's daughter. If a man is a poet he need not possess a dress suit he need to the presence of the lovely lady.

PUT EASE BEFORE DRUDGERY Every Device for Improving Methods of Housekeeping Should Be Employed. There are thousands of housekeepers who cannot take a summer trip, but they can greatly improve their methods of housekeeping. First, free the house of unnecessary articles to sweep, wash, dust, iron or move. Only the useful and the beautiful should remain. A porch may be made the greatest of blessings to the summer housekeeper if sheltered to it. The Dutchman's pipe is the fast-growing vine, and the morning glory make rapid growth. Do all the work you can out here, or under a big tree in the yard, such as shelling peas, stringing beans, paring apples and divers other tasks, which will suggest themselves to the thinking housekeeper. When work is finished, sit out on the porch or under a tree, anywhere but indoors, and don't forget the plenics. Don't tire yourself out by baking a lot of fancy dishes. Make good plain things which will be relished out of doors. Do nothing in the kitchen in a while take an entire afternoon for sleep, reading, lounging under the trees, or resting in the way most helpful to you. GOOD HOME-MADE ICE BOX Costa Little and, According to Inventor, Keeps the condition long. A Long Time. An economical ice box is described by its owner and maker as follows: "For this I bought a wooden box about four feet long, two wide and 18 inches high, being careful to select one closely built; next I bought a pair of cheap hinges and made a top which fitted closely. Across the bottom of the box I took off a strip through the center 12 inches wide, then I fitted across the bottom, on one side of the box. Inside the center, I put a strip about ten inches wide and as long as the box is wide, which I can take out and scald. This holds the piece of ice without having it come in contact with the wire and it causes it to sag. I keep two woolen cloths to wrap around the ice, taking out one each morning, scalding it and letting it cool. I put newspapers, then the cloth, and the ice keeps splendidly. The box is on legs and the water drains off into a tub under it." Laundry Notes. The ideal wash boiler is at least copper-bottomed. This is to conduct heat and avoid rust. It has, too, a faucet to allow of easy removal of the water. A washing machine should be employed to save wear and tear on the human machine. There are three types of mechanical washers; the type generally operated by hand, the vacuum or suction type, also hand-operated. The cylinder generally used in laundries has two drums, one revolving inside the other, and the rocking or oscillating type, one cylinder of metal or wood swaying back and forth without dasher or beater. The rocking type is least wearing on the clothes, and it and the cylinder type are preferable if it can be operated before choosing any washer. It is best to have an actual demonstration and thoroughly understand the cost of operation per hour, etc., of the machine before buying. Chilled Bananas. Lay some bananas on ice for a couple of hours before they are to be served. Just before they are to go to the table peel them and split each in half lengthwise, and lay these halves on a plate with a quarter of a lemon and a heaping teaspoonful of powdered sugar. Eat with a fork or spoon after sprinkling with lemon juice and dipping in sugar. Saving the Hands. If you are doing housework, try to coil your hands as little as possible. While dusting and sweeping or doing any dry, dirty work, wear a loose pair of old kid gloves. Rubber gloves are no longer very expensive; provide yourself with a pair of these and use them while washing dishes or any work that demands the use of strong soap and water. Squash Puff. Press a half pint of cooked squash through sieve, and add rounding tablespoonful of butter (melted after measuring), four tablespoonful of milk, salt and pepper, then mix and fold in two. Then pour into a buttered dish and bake until the center is firm. Serve as a side dish. Vinalgrette, Salad. Vinagrette salad made with asparagus stalks, chopped chicory and heart of lettuce is delightfully agreeable for a summer luncheon or dinner. This salad is not served with mayonnaise, dressing, but with a lemon dressing made with lemon rather than vinegar and plenty of the best olive oil. Fruit Bouillon Wash six ounces of sago and add it gradually to two quartes of nicely flavored white stock (veal or chicken). Let it simmer gently till the sago is quite clear, put into it preserved raspberry curd, put into Ripe Ripe Ripe may be used seasoned but remain be boiled with the sago. Serv in cups. Add sugar to taste. Beef Bibbed Steaks Cut out a thick steak from between the bones, toenail it in salad and season with salt and pepper. Broil on each side for five minutes. Prepare some sauce. Cut the steak into pieces, lay the steak on it and glaze over the top. Time: 10 minutes to broil. v.

LEADS WORLD CATS HAVE HUMOR? Uncle Sam's Wealth Immense; Is Growing Richer. Sir George Palah, British Statistician Proves American Superiority Over Great Britain, Germany and France; Behind in Banks. The wealth of the United States— income-producing property of all kinds, including land, factories and railroads—is now not far from double that of any other country on earth, according to Sir George Palah of the statist. He figures that the increase in wealth of the four chief nations in the last century has been 560 per cent in Britain, 400 per cent in France, 700 per cent in Germany and 8,500 per cent in the United States. The wealth of these countries now stands, he says, as follows: France $50,000,000,000 Germany $80,000,000,000 Britain $100,000,000,000 United States $100,000,000,000 The increases in population in these four countries in the last century have been as follows: 130 per cent in Britain, 33 per cent in France, 180 per cent in Germany, and 1,125 per cent in the United States. The annual savings of these peoples is now about as follows: France $1,000,000,000 Germany $1,000,000,000 United States $4,000,000,000 The expansion of banking and credits, Sir George says, is responsible for the vast increase in national wealth and industrial development. About two billion two hundred and fifty million dollars of British money is now employed in the discount of international bills, and at least twenty billion dollars of British capital is yearly invested in colonial and foreign countries. France年利率 invests over four hundred million dollars abroad and now has a total of $10,000,000,000 in international investment. Foreign investments are $250,000,000 and now total $8,000,000,000. In the whole of North and South America there is now invested $20,000,000,000 of foreign capital, including the investments of the United States, in Mexico, Canada and other countries. About $6,000,000,000 of foreign capital is invested in the United States; $3,500,000,000 invested in Canada; $2,500,000,000 in Argentina and $1,500,000,000 in Brazil; $2,500,000,000 in Canada; $2,500,000,000 in South Africa. About four billion dollars of foreign capital is invested in Russia. Of the foreign capital in Argentina, about one billion four hundred and fifty-five million dollars was supplied by Britain. $35,000,000 by Fra.cc and $300,000,000 by Germany.

Dr. Charles Lincoln Edwards of the Southern California University Tells of Some Very Interesting Discoveries He Has Made. After years of study and experimenting with cats, Dr. Charles Lincoln Edwards, professor of zoology at the University of Southern California and head of the nature study in the Los Angeles schools, announced the other day that he has found that cats think, reason, have a language of their own and possess a keen sense of humor. As a cat fancier, Doctor Edwards has had several abyss near him at his home for many years, and as a carefully observing man of science he has studied these felines as he has studied no other animal, and has arrived at the conclusion that the only difference between the intelligence of the cat and the intelligence of a human is a difference of degree rather than kind. He expressed his views relative to the intellectual attainments and manifestations of the cat family in an interview, in which he used his prize orange tabby cat, Shadi Fawc, the prize winner at many cat shows, for the purpose of demonstration. "What's said about animals not having reasoning power is all nonsense," he declared. "I have observed cats more closely than any other animal, as they are near me so much of the time at my home, and I know that they act in accordance with reason and not alone by instinct. "The animal is lacking in the ability to express itself through articulations in a human, perhaps," he said, "but for the natural means of expressing desire or emotion, a cat has man, bereft of its voice, bested. The cat has a language of its own. By its succeeding experiences, it is able to understand the law of cause and effect, just as a human does, and it can reason in his limited capacity as does a man. "The sneer of a human is the lineal descendant of the snarl of the beast. The cat perhaps cannot express himself in his 'meow', but he does successfully by his attitude and his actions. "Cowper, the poet, in a letter to a friend, told of some of the remarkable actions of his pet cat, and stated that it moved its lips, as though in talking. It was this in some cats, and with others they seem to articulate from the throat. It might be possible through the proper sympathetic understanding, to understand the wishes and desires of the feline kind. "My wife, who is a great cat fancier, was able to so successfully imitate the 'meow' of a pet cat that it would follow her around and from all appearances, talk to her." Doctor Edwards intends to carry on his close observations of his pet cat, and is of the belief that he will be able to come to a great sympathetic understanding of the workings of the animal. Being a scholar, he has named his pet cat from the Persian, "shad" meaning "perfect delight." Benediction to Sleep. Don Quixote was one of the jolliest and best favored of knight errants when he uttered his immortal benediction to sleep and any one who tries to make it "meat for the hungry and drink for the thirsty" without his choice equipments will fall short of the mark. Some passable relations between day and night is a part of nature's play the case as clearly the sleep designed. Shakespeare's distrust of night's purposes of sweet repose for the man who "sleeps while he wakes" was well grounded, no doubt, for in the very rhythm of life waking and sleeping play antiphonal parts, and rest after healthful toil is sweet. It is thus that "summer's honey breath holds out" against the strain of warmth and the joy of happy balance is to find the secrets of life, not death. In that sleep which has been called death's half brother. Concentrating Offices The record concentration of office into a single hand was achieved by the Duke of Wellington in 1834, when William IV suddenly parted with his whig ministers. Sir Robert Peel, who was to form the new ministry, was in Rome, and it took between three and four weeks for the king's messenger to reach him and for him to return, travelling almost continuously night and day. In the meantime Wellington was practically the entire government. He actually held the office only of first lord of the treasury and home secretary, but any one of the secretaries of state can perform the duties of any other or all of them. Wellington was not secretary of state for war, however, because that office did not exist—Factory Times. A Safety Deposit. "That's a nice refrigerator," commented the stranger in Crimson Gulch.

Jess and inefilcient; but in practically every district where negroes are em ployed, whether as farm laborers or as mechanleal laborers, the verdict is that a large majority of negro work- ers are reliable, many of them are aullifal and very efficient, and not a few are almost indispensable. ‘There are very few places in the South mhere the employer would be willing to dispense with tho services of his ‘negro employes.” The speaker gave a bint of the means which must be employed to ‘keep these workers faithful and eff ielont. "No leader, elther black or white," he remarked, “can give skill ful, eflctent, consclentious service when he ts surrounded day and night by all that tends to lower his health, ‘aistort his mind, weaken his morals, lembitter his spirit and shake his faith Jin his fellow men.” | Major Moton was led to emphasize ‘the very great necessity of education for the negro. “There has been much criticism,” he said, “and some fun and ridicule mada at the expense of tho educated negroes by, perhaps, ‘well meantng people. But, after all is sald and done, the most successful and the most reliable and the most influ- ential element in the negro race, as in every race, Is the educated class—the men and women who have done most to coment cordial and sympathetic Telations between the races; who have had the greatest influence for cau- tlon and conservatism upon the reck- ese and radical negroes; who have been most patient and most persistent fu thelr offorts to fit the whole negro race for treedom and citizenship, in their broadest and most perfect sense, by practical Christian education and pane, wholesome advice.” Kindergartens for colored children are being adopted in different parts ‘ef the South as one of the agencies for improving social conditions that have troubled two generations. Rich mond, Va., has lately opened an ex: Perlmental kindergarten which has already created such interest among negro parents and the school authort- tles that {t is expected it will soon be mado permanent. The Richmond Kindergarten was opened by the Na- tlonal Kindergarten Association of New York at the request of Richmond Yeople who knew of the success of tha domonstration given among the col- ‘red children at Chattanooga, Tenn. ‘where the local association assumed ‘the care and support of the school on March 1. ‘The largest motor vessel in the world ta the Siam, recently built at Copen- ‘agen, with a displacement of 13,200 fens. \ The first telephone 1s sald to have lettracted little attention until Dom Pedro picked it up and expressed his delight at it.

It is the Youngest, but also the largest, exclu: sive negro and Indian town in the world, In the open forest, remote from ely: zation, a handful of red and black inen, who held that voluntary segrega- tion was the only solution of certain vexed race problems, vet about prov ing their theory in a practical way. ‘The city has grown to 8,000 popula- tion. ‘There are churches, schools and stores, but there ts not a white per- son in town or in the surrounding country. There are hotels where vis- iting whites may stop, but none will be allowed to purchase land or remain as citizens, The community has kept pace with the town, as something over two thou- sand Indian and negro farmers are cul: tivating the soll, Boley has a mode! city government under control of the black race. ‘The citizens are peace- able and thrifty. It may be said, to the credit ot these black and Indian people, that no s0- loons, pootrooma, or houses of quer- tlonable character, exist in their re- markable little city, Loafers and dis. turbers are made to move on. Cot- ton-gins, sawmills, lumber yards and many factories are amoug enterprises established, besides 150 colored mer chants, The trade to {ho city comes exclusively from Indian and negro people. The leading citizens are boost: ing the town to 25,000 population. Among the cesential matertals that help the town are churches of five different faiths. ‘The “submerged” part of the black race {sa heavy incubus upon its edu- cated, prosperous members, asserts Mrs. L. H. Hammond in her book, “In Black and White, “As fast as they enter this class they withdraw into a world of their own, a world which Iles all about us white folks, yet of whose existenco we are scarcely aware. It is largely the ineffictents, the fail- ures or the immature and untrained who remain with us.” It will not doto dismiss the wretched condition of negroes in hovels with a shoulder shrug and a complacent “They like what they've got; they're made that way.” It may be true, but there is truth beyond that truth. Mrs. Ham- mond urges legal condemnation of these unsanitary settlements, to be re- placed (agency unnamed) by de cently habitable quarters; mainten- ance of which could, for one thing. be helped by proper methods of rent collection. She urges also an “ex: periment station” in negro housing, and thinks an ordinary clty block, though one-third of it were to be given over to playground and other “com- munity” uses, would give satisfactory returns from the rental of “decent lit- tle houses” covering the other two- thirds. She wishes the poorer ne- groes in the cities could be turned back to the land; “not because they are negroes,” but because country lite is so desirable a haven of refuge for those who are unable to get along in the towns, She does not tell just how they aro to be got there, and Just what they are tc do when they get there. China has been hit hard by the in- creased cost of lving. The price of rice has jumped 50 per cent since 1911—due partly to the famine and more to the destruction of crops dur ing the fighting on the Yangtee.

A. J. Booker, M. D, A man asked me what was friend- ship the other day. As well ask what is God or the devil; for no one knows. We see evidences of most potent forces without being able to i a aaa IS concise and gen- eral terms, ‘To some people a friend isa person who will lend them five dollars; to some it is a person who will do some favor laudable ca <iiieeles ts Af; others it is a person who, when they come in whining from the conflict of the world, tells them that they are ‘imposed upon and makes them feel like a martyr when they ate the basest of cravens. It is easier to Jend a man five dollars than to lis- ten continually to a voice of tears; it is easy to do favors that do not cost money; any hypocrite will take your side because it is diplomatic and cuts off a mournful tale, Friends are often more valuable for the things they do not do than for what they do do, for in the end you must pay the price and your advisor be- moans your folly in accepting bad advice. Some friendships are strong be- cause people know so much on one another that they cannot afford to be enemies—they are friends because there is mutual distrust and fear for each other. There are friendships that are so expensive that kings can- not afford them, ‘The friendship of what might be called tyranny, if the souls of the exactors were not so dwarfed that an atom of greatness of spirit would inflate them to the point of explosion and annihilation. ‘The friendship that makes demands but gives nothing, in big souls they call it imperious, in those selfish crea~ tures whose concevtion of friendship and an asteroid are the same we call it bully, and they prey upon the still weaker. There are the friendships that ex- haust the soul by their demands—in- cessantly present; there are those which are bought by a smile and the things that the giver care nothing for. I knew an abortive soul, who had the presumption to assume in- telligence, who wanted to make an agreement to be friends, as though friendship was the same as wheat or hogs. You cannot buy friends; any commodity that is bought is in the market for the next highest bidder. Friendship is sowed in admiration, is nurtured in confidence, fructifies in consideration and is yarnered in love. ‘Those who have known what it is to have Leen a friend need no definition; to those who ure incapable of rising to the sublime heights and have no other capacity than that of leeches none will suffice, Beware of the man who tells you every day that he is your friend; he is preparing you for a fine stilletto, ‘He keeps a book of what he has done for you and will pass it on to his descendants with compound interest.
