THE

YOUR FRIryNDSHIPS

If a man does not make n{w acquaintances as he advances through life he will soon\ find himself alone. A man must keep his friendships in constant repair.-Dr. Samuel Johnson.

Romance

Silently we stood together in the darkening shadows of the evening. After an interval that seemed like ages to me, I lowered my head to catch the sweet odor that pervaded the cool air. I looked long and fervently at the well-rounded mouth and thought of the pleasure to be found there. I could restrain myself no longer. With almost brutal eagerness I grasped the smooth, round neck in my two hands and pressed my hot lips to the moist mouth. Draining the last drop, I put down the bottle, and, chewing a clove, I sauntered away."

The End Of Men And Flowers

When I saw you making sorrowful end, (Knowing that you were soon about to die) Sorting your rings, promising such and sustrEach careful, sad disposal to each friend, Your booksr /our furs, your house, your tapestries, Troubled about how little a3d,,how much-

I thought how easily the daisies go, ,Fow tranquilly each fading frond and leaf Slips back into the mould without demur, I , With nothing to bequeath, regret, or owe; How soon the hawthorn, after journey brief Lies down and pulls the grasses over her.

Life

Life is but a garment. When it's dirty, brush it. When it's torn, mend it. Make it last as long and as good as you can.-Tagore.

Whatever You May Have Done Let Others Do The Telling

There was once a Dutch housewife who was unduly arrogant about her clean floor. One day she scrubbed right through the floor and fell into the basement and broke her neck Pride came before her fall.

The loud speaker, used in our own behalf, fills the air with static for others. If we do a good job and someone catches lrs at it, we feel like Peary at the Pole. But if we 'do a good job and then cackle like a hen, folks are more riled with the racket than they are pleased at the deed.

Even among'hens the greatest cacklers are lihrs rat'her than layers. They start by cackling after laying, as all respectable hens should. Later, they cackle before and after laying. Still later they help other hens to cackle, and soon they are devoting their lives to cackling.

People who cheer for themselves are pretty apt to give way to the same temptation; that is, they soon warble rather than work.

A bird sings, but because you sing you are not necessarily a bird.

There is nothing so cheerless as a self-cheering companion,owhose true worth is scarcely less than half of nothing at all.

True worth is worth no less in sneakers.

To scrub floors right you must get on your hands and knees, which is a humble position, and a ridiculous one from which to indulge in loud talk.

-Chester H. Struble.

When Enthusiasm Over Stepped

Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing. ! Itisoneofthegreatdrivingforcesoftheworld. Without it few real successes in life are ever made. But-sometimes it gets a fellow into trouble.

Tr,r'o years ago, in Florida, they had a rail embargo oni and it was hard to get building materials into the buildingi mad districts. Lath became very scarce. "'

So a lumberman filled with enthusiasm, brought in froni, the Pacific Coast a full cargo of Fir lath. About that timo the boom busted. i

He's still got the lath. :
