We cannot have many of them; they do not come in bunches like bananas; they are never formed by weath- ' ering tne same gales of fate to gether, by standing the heat of conflict together, by kinship of mind and heart, by common in terest in a com mon ideal, by ba sic understanding, mutual de pendence, thorough respect and loyalty that grows stronger as need grows greater. Acquaint ancesbip is merely the grapes of possibility from which the rich wine of friendship is mellowed. Priends are usually necessary to happiness. Robinson Crusoe could haidly have been genuinely happy in his isolation, no matter how he kept his optimism breath ing by frequent applications of oxygen from the tank of his phil osophy. Even love does not long satisfy unless there is in it real friendship and companionship, and love is, in reality, only a su preme unique brand of perfected friendship. But we may throw this element m happiness away for a trifle. Por the empty pleas ure of a clever, cutting taunt, we may give a stab-thrust that may kill a friendship. We may take the kindly expressions of our friends as a matter of course, de manding as a right what belongs to us as a courtesy. You cannot force a spontaneity any more than you can make the bud a full blown rose by forcibly opening its petals. The bud ' becomes a rose by natural expansion from within. A friend's need is our opportunity. A momentary neg lect or coolness at a psychologic moment, when the tired heart needs sympathy, encouragement, or help to the utmost, may begin the death of a friendship. Some people like the dividends on friendship, but not its assess ments; they really do not need a friend, they want a bank. When there is not mutual (helpfulness, not necessarily the same in kind or in degree, but the helpfulness in wbioh each gives freely his best to the other as naturally as a flower exhales perfume, the friendship is like a patent that is nearing its time of expiration. Iugratitude kills friendship or rapidly attenuates it to a point where it will die of anaemia. If we value our happiness or our friend, let us gladly expend the time, energy and thought re quired to keep the relationship free, clear, fresh running as a mountain br ok. Selected.

Funk held services here last Sunday evening. Rev. Powers will conduct a series of meetings at Antioch, beglning Sunday evening. What about the County Institute? The way the tickets were manipulated Monday morning, was a shame. We think it is a little too bad that a few of the County's Aristocracy have an influence as to cause such men as were at the head of the Institute, to waver and not give the deserving public a "square deal?" The institute cost the county nearly S1000 in hard cash. What were the benefits? A teachers' Institute would be of more benefit than an Instructors'. MID-WINTER TERM BEGINS January 4, 5, and 6.

The Problem of The Howry Mas. The problem of the hungry man is not the problem of one people, nor of one era, writes Ed win Markluun in the December Circle Magazine; it is the problem of all peoples and all eras. And, after thousands of years, he is still peering hungrily through the windows of civilization. Let us go out into the windy night and look him over. Let us in spect his hands, to see if he has been an idler. No, not an idler for those hands are knotted with labor; and those shoulders are sunken and crooked with the bearing of many burdens. These are the badges that he bears from the battle; they show that he tried in some ways to meet life like a man. What shall I do? Send him to the charities? No, that remedy lias been tried all these long, sor rowful centuries.' On all the streets and roads of the wcrld we have been throwing him an occasional crumb, and still he is with us lean and hungry as ever. The fact that charity has been tried all these ages without less ening the disease proves that charity is a pitiful failure. Nothing is worth while unless it unites men, and nothing unites them but justice, affectionate jus tice. But justice requires that every man should have the op portunity to earn a living by labor. Therefore, the thing to do for this man is to find him work, work at living wages. If there is no work for him under our system of private enterprise if the crush and rush of com petition has crowded this man out of his right to live by labor, then it is the duty of society to provide him with that work. He must have bread labor, for socie ty bas forbidden him to beg, for bidden him to steal. Laughter Lengthens Life.

Low Chair Rests Back 01 Woman Who Sews A woman who sews a great deal of the time has found that her back does not become so tired if her chair is low, or if she has a stool upon which to rest her feet it is surprising what a differ ence the comfortable position makes and how much more work she can do. Should the arms become weary, sho puts a cushion in her lap. On .this she rusts hec elbows, changing the position of her sew ing, thus giving both arms and eyes a chance to recover. Getting Rich Quickly. An Irishman had received em ployment as freight brakeman ujxm a railway in a mountainous Bfotioo of Pennsylvania, and was to receive so many cents for each mile ho travelad.
