- Never cast aside your friends if by
any possibility you can retain them.
We are the weakest of spendthrifts if we
let one. drop off through inattention, or
let one push away another, or if we hold
al6of from one through petty. jealousy
or needless slight or roughness: Would
you throw away diamond because it
pricked you? One good friend is not to
be weighed against the jewels of the
earth. If there is GOODNESS or unkind-
ness between us, let us come face to face
and have it out. Quick, before the love
grows cold! Life is too short to quarrel
10, or to carry black thoug hts of friends.
Il is easy to lose friend, but new one
will not come for calling, nor make up
for the old one.

HUNTER TRIES TO HAVE GRARAx PoIso NED
The latest and most startling development
fn the Armstrong tragedy for che perpetrs-
ton Of which both Hunter and Graham are
confined In the Camden jail. 10 the report
that Hunter has made an attempt to have Z
quietus put to Grahsm's life, 10 that he
may not appear a. witness 1t the trial.
II seems that ut present the meals for the
prisoners in the Camden jail are served hy
man who 10 himself prisoner committed
for trivial offence. About i've days ago
this man was noticed coming dowA the
stairs from the floor on which Hunters
apartment 10 situated In an apparently
disturbed and excited state Of mind, which
attracted the attention Of Sheriff Dauhman.
Calling the man to him, the Sheriff asked
him what was the matter. The man replied
rather nervously that Hunter had offered
him $500 to poison Graham. He WAS further
questioned, and stated that while serving
Hunters meal tho later asked him In an
undertons II he alss waited on Graham,
aud replying that he did, Hunter told bi.
tust If he would put strychnine In his coffee
he would give him the sum Of $500.
The sheriff concluded that to corroborats
the mans story he would allow bin to
proceed little further In the matter, and
to pretend to Hunter that he would do %
desired. a '.T
The next time ho waited upon Hunter he
csnversed about the proposition aad asked
Hunter about the money. Hunter, 90 It Is
stated, promised him that 1t would be
forthcoming about the beginning of the
present week but when It was NOT on hand
ut the time specified, he was again asked
about It, and replied that one Of bis lawyers
had It. lT .sI
Within the past few days he has grown
rather lukewarm about the matter, and
appeared as though he had abandoned. the
idea. II 1t had ever been mooted, Of taking
Graham's life.
District Attorney Jenkins has been absent
from Camden for several days, but on his
return the prisoner who made the startling
statement will be rigidly examined and his
testimony will be under oath. 80. NJ
