Some friends exist for revenue only and some are protective to a high de gree. A true friend is a better de fender than a battleship and as a convenience has a national bank beaten all around the compass. ">Friends are useful in a multitude of ways. They are a great assist ance in smoking cigars, in waiting for ducks and in digesting dinners. A great many men flnd*it impossible to support a large heavy bar in an expensive saloon without , the aid of sevefal * friends. Friends can be sworn* at with comparative safety, and .the man who loves to tell dis agreeable truths in an offensively frank manner would not live long if he were compelled to practice upon instead of friends. Friends are blood relatives'of pro crastination. Both are great thieves of time. •* As a rule, friends love most dearly to steal the bright and cheerful evening hours which should be spent In reading good books, it is a common thing for two or three friends to hold up a perfectly re spectable business man and take four or five hours away from him, including the hour in which the last street car leaves the down-town dis trict. Friends are responsible for most of the politicians »of the country. Almost every man who has run for office has done so at the insistence of his friends. This can be proven by the statements of thousands candidates. However, most of these friends# prove their friendship at elections by steadfastlyAvoting . for the other fellow David and Jonathan were the twC. ■" Standard Time. Standard time is a uniform system of time reckoning in the United States and Canada adopted in 1863 by the principal railways, and since Chen by the principal cities and towns of both countries. By this system the continent is divided into four sections, each extending over 15 degrees of longitude (making a difference of time of exactly one hour) the time prevail ing in each being that of its central meridian. The Champion Lie. Probably the unmitigated falsehood most frequently told year in and year out takes this form: We welcome hon est criticism.—Ohio State Journal. FRIENDS first recorded friends of-great devo tion. David loved Jonathan like * brother, but was not half so mean to him. Damon and Pythias were celebrated friends who flourished be- i i I * i | fore the Christian era was invented. Pythias took Damon's place in the death cell while bamon visited hia relatives, and was peeved when he could not die for him. Nowadays even greater heights of devotion are reached between friends who go un flinchingly to death in each other's automobiles in great numbers. Some people use friend 3 as recrea tions, some as tonics, some as bank accounts, some as ladders and some as stone walls to lean against. A certain method of finding a friend is to go out and make a noise like a bill, breaking. A method not naar ly so sure is to go broke yourself. Friends are pleasant if used In moderation, but disastrous ir used to excess. Very few men can afford to have more than a dozen friends, unless they have nothing else to do. It is as much trouble to keep three friends as it is to keep one hired girl. + Always One Lap Ahead. "My life is devoted to the pursuit of happiness." said the Optimist. "Well, he'll give you the chase of a lifetime," quoth the Pessimist. Overheated Air. A rise of temperature in the sur rounding air diminishes the amount of oxygen consumed and the amount of dioxide discharged. A fall of tem perature has the opposite effect. In addition, the overheated air forms a hot jacket around the body, which pre vents the radiation of heat necessary to keep the body in a healthy condi tion. With a sedentary occupation a temperature of from 65 to 70 should be maintained for comfort and health. Few individuals Honored. France delights in naming its streets after some, particular building, or some happening, or a great victory, and this is also true to a certain extent in Canada, where there is only one capi tal city which commemorates an indi vidual. This is Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island. The Charlotte so remembered was the daughter and only child of George IY, who died only a year after her mar riage in 1817.—Philadelphia North American. Compromise With Stupidity, i The public mind is nearly always slow working. The deliberations of a body of men must usually wait upon the intelligence of its least Intelligent member, and the final result of such deliberation will ordinarily be closer to the mentality of the stupidest mem ber of the conference than that of the most intelligent. Intelligence must compromise with stupidity. The broad minded must compromise with the big oted. Stupidity and bigotry are near ly always reflected in public opinion.— William Maxwell in Collier's Weekly. To Clear the Voice. This is a simple remedy for clearing the voice: Granulated sugar and enough lemon juice to dampen the sugar thoroughly. Take a teaspoonful every hour until the voice improves. Bathe the throat and chest with cold water and do not dress the throat too warmly when on the street. t Power of Humor. The following anecdote illustrating Henry Ward Beecher's power of us ing humor for argument is related In the Youth's Companion: "On one oc casion a man in the congregation asked, 'lf a man is a good father and a good husband, but never reads the Bible, where will he go when he dies?' 'l'm sure I don't know,' Beecher re plied, 'but wherever he goes he has my best wishes.'" Use of Gold in Teeth. The use of gold as a substitute for lead or bone as a filling for the teeth was perfected in 1855 by Dr. Robert Arthur of Baltimore, while in 1884 Prof. W. D. Muller of Berlin, In his discovery of the bacteria origin of dis eases of the teeth and of the large part played by lactic acid, opened the way to avenues of research, which may ulti mately lead to the total extinction of the dentist. —New York World. There Many Years. A woodsman in northern Michigan found a horse collar growing in a tree. Experts declare that the collar might have been the top of a sapling which encircled the base of the larger tree.— Popular Science Monthly. Unquestioned Authority. "Look here, doctor," roared the irate man who had just received a bill from the physician, "on what do you base these enormous charges?" "On the best authority in the world," calmly responded the doctor. "Doesn't the Bible say: 'All that a man hath will he give for his life?'" A Little Strange. Edgar, aged five, was driving from the station on his first visit to Maine. His mother, noticing a troubled look on his face as he looked about, said, "What's the matter, dear? Don't you like the beautiful country?" "Yes. mother, but on my map Maine is red!" Dwarf Trees. • Dwarf trees are suited to small gar dens. They occupy little space, are easily cared for, bear sooner than standard kinds and they are easily shaped into bushes and pyramids or can be used in espalier forms, trained on buildings, fences tor trellises. No More Fairy Tales. "Now the giant had a wonderful musical instrument which would cry out if anybody tried to steal it." "I don't see anything so wonderful about it. I think maybe we could arrange our graphophone to do that." —Louis- ville Courier-Journal. . For Use in His Church? A clergyman is the inventor of a light bar to be held against the upper lip by clamps fastened in the nostrils to prevent snoring.—Houston Post. Very Pleasant Evening. Willis —"Did you have a good time at the Bumps' last evening?" Gillis — "Yes. We spent an evening of sin." Willis —"What do you mean?" Gillis— "My wife cheated at cards, I lied about my income, and between us we swiped their best umbrella."—Life. Horses Wear Trousers. When the horses in Nice, France, are hitched to tar-spreading carts they wear trousers to protect their legs from the hot tar. A further protection for them consists of a curtain suspended between the cart and the horse. The trousers are what lends distinction to the horse, however. The knees are a bit baggy but the horse doesn't seem to care. Not the Only One. This buying plan of $5 down and $5 when they catch you keeps the house keeper on the jump.—Philadelphia In quirer. Also Substitute for Thirst. Can't our scientists find some sub stitute for an appetite?— Baltimore American.

Housewives and laboring men are continually subject to cuts and scratches of varying severity upon the hands and arms. These hurt places may be treated successfully and pain lessly with pure castile soap. , Ignorance Is Bliss. "Miss Anteek has been praying for a man for years, and now she's got Percy Fitznoodle." "Oh well, she won't know the difference, perhaps."— Boston Transcript. A Losing Sale. "First Scribe —"So the editor took one of your poems and then asked you out to lunch?" Second Scribe —"Yes —and the lunch only cost me a dollar more than I got for the poem?" Invents Bread That Stays Fresh. Bread that will keep fresh two weeks after it has been wrapped in paper and sterilized has been invented by a Paris baker. Clever Burglar. The Paris police recently captured a burglar who used a stethoscope to hear the sounds made by combina tion locks on safes to enable him to open them. Only Way to Keep. Hokus—"lf you want an umbrella to last a long time, don't roll it." Pokus — M I have a better scheme." Hokus— "What is it?" Pokus—"Don't lend it." —Judge. Hardly Complimentary. "Now. if you have it in your head," said the professor, who tad explained a theory to his students, "you have it all in a nutshell." Boston Tran script. Not Living. The family was moving from New York to Ohio. An old man on the train made the acquaintance of the lit tle girl, and when he asked her where she lived, she replied: "We don't livo nowheres; we're moving."
