POWER FROM OUR F'RIENDS

In times of great anxiety we can draw power from our friends. We should at such times, however, avoid friends who sympathize too deepln who give us pity, rather than strength. Like so many unwise parents, such friends-well rneaning though they br-give lessons in fear rather than in courage. It is said that Napoleon, before each of his great battles, used to invite his marshals to file past his tent, where he grasped their hands in silence. Certain friends, like Napoleon, can give us a sense of triumphing power.-D. Lupton.

Heredity

A soldier of the Cromwell stamp, With sword and psalm-book by his side, At home alike in church or camp, Austere he lived, and smileless died.

But she, a creature soft and fineFrom Spain, some say, some say from France; Within her veins leaped blood like win* She led her Roundhead lord a dance.

In Grantham Church they lie asleep; Just where, the verger may not know; Strange that two hundred years should keep, The old ancestral fires aglow.

In me these two have met again; To each my nature owes a part; To one, the cool and reasoning brain; To one, the quick, unreasoning heart.

-Thomas Bailey Aldrich. !frf*

A Sportingman

Oliver Wendell Holmes said: To brag little, to lose well, To crow gently if in luck, To pay up, to own up, To shut up if beaten, Are the virtues of a sportingman. *:F*

Breaking It Gently

There was a knock at the door, and Mrs. Murphy opened it to find Hennessy standing tfiere.

"The widow Murphy?" he asked.

"Mrs. Murphy,t'she corrected. ttltm not a widow."

"\i[/ant to bet?" asked Hennessy.

Living

A handful of memories, A cupful of sorrow, A flagon of happiness, Faith in tomorrow. A measure of taking, A measure of giving, A curious jumble, This business of living.

-Don Blanding. rf**

Both Were Tough

"I'm a man of few wordsr" said the tough boss to the new employe. "When I crook my finger, that means come arunning."

"So am f," said the new man. ..So, when I thumb my nose, that means I ain't coming." tS**

Determination

When you speak of selling, remember the boy who applied for a certain job. The employer lqoked him over, and asked: "Weren't you here asking for this job a week ago?', "Yes, sir," said the boy. "And didn't I tell you you were too young for the job?' "Yes, sir,', said the boy. .,Then why are you back again?" asked the man. ,.Mister, I'm older no\f,i," the boy said. He got the job. *!ffrr

Kipling Obliged Her

When Rudyard Kipling was at the height of his fame, he received a letter from some not-too-intertigent woman, who condescendingly wanted the great author's name for her autograph collection. She wrote: .Just write me a single word, and your signature, Mr. Kipling, for my auto_ gfaph boolr. I understand you get paid a pound a word for your writings, so f enclose a pound",, And right away she got a reply from Kipling, with one word: ..Thanks.,'
