A Friend
IAround the corner f have a friend, In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year is gone, And I never see my old friend's face; For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell And he rang mine. We were younge,r then; And now we are busy, tired menTired with playing a busy game, Tired with trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow", I say, "I will call on Jim, Just to show that I'm thinking of him". But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away"Ffere's a telegram, sir, Jim died today". And that's what we get, and deserve, in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend.
AND IT'S THAT \^/AY YET
Frederick the Great said to Voltaire, when that great French humanitarian was fighting the great fight against human torture in Europe:
"Your zeal burns against superstition, but do you believe I I that the world will change? More than three-fourths of \ mankind are formed to be the slaves of the absurdest fana\ ticism. The fear of the devil and of hell is fascinating to thetn, and they detest the man who wishes to enlighten thern-"
And, though today we know that there are a million suns as great as ours, and billions of great stars in the firmament, and a mighty Law and Power that controls them and keeps them in harmony, the words of Frederick are just as true as when mankind believed in a small fat earth with corners, a so'lid firmament above, and sun, moon and stars that were just specks in qhe sky. In that particular direction, man progresses slowly-if at all.

LAUGHTER /
Laughter is even more of a mental tonic thpnfi. physical, provided the laughter has mental quality. frfally, laughter is a virtue which has its own reward. Open the windows of your heart; poke the dust and dirt out of its corners; let the sunshine of laughter and good humor into its innermost chambers.

Statistics
If-a new high school costs as much as five hundred one thousand dollar automobiles, and-
If-it is used by the children of five hundred families for four years, and-
If-it is "as good as new" for the next five hundred families when their children finish the grade school, and-
Remains "as good as new" for sixty consecutive sets of five hundreds families (and it will)-
Then its value to the world is 60 times 500 automobiles; that is, $30,000,000.
And as for the expense of running a high school, it would be less than the cost of running 500 automobiles if the teachers' pay was doubled.
Print that in a hand bill if your city needs a new high school, and see how the moss-backs answer it.-Slices.
