The Use of Friendship.

There are many people to whom the
chief use of friendship seems to be the
abuse of it. A friend to most of us is
more or less consciously person whom
we may treat not only with less ceremony
than we do others, but with less justice
as WELL To presume upon the good
nature of friend is one of the most in
sidious of all the temptations with which
weak and feeble human nature is beset,
and it is one of the most frequently sue
cessful ones. We are all of us so likely
to be guilty in this respect that it is
hardly safe for any man to begin on this
score to fling stones at his neighbor. 1t
is SO easy to excuse ourselves for wrongs
which are not resented, that sometimes
one wonders whether after all conscience
is not at least three parts out of five re-
spect for somebody's opinion of us.
And the worst of this is that we al
most inevitably respect our friend some
what less for submitting to our i'll usage
of him. We do him little injustices.
trihings which he is too fond of us to
resent even when he feels them, and out
of his generosity we make an excuse for
holding him of less account. and conse-
ouently for loving him less and imposing
upon him more. This is often the his
tory of the course of masried life. One
or the other of couple yields too much
and too often, moved by over much af-
lection to give way, and the result is that
he or she wins only more or less con-
scious contempt The truth is that
even in friendship we are all human, and
it is well to reflect that if one desires tc
hold the regard of his friend it is neces
sary to hold also his respect. 1t is some
times wise to displease a friend for hi:
own.good and for the sake Of holding hi:
affection up to its slevel.-Boston Courier

TELLING THE TRUTH.

Hartford Evening Post:
A newspaper that tells the truth
cannot be popular for the time being
with everyone. In thickly settled,
civilized community, diverse interests
are continually at work, arranging
and re-arranging men in groups in
fluenced by opposing business, or po-
litical or social interests. What is
best for one of them is often not best
for the public. Progress is the yield
ing of individual preference or rights,
for the common good. The sphere
of newspaper that is not an organ
and which has the courage of its con-
victions, is to give the unbiased facts,
whether or not they are palatable to
individuals when these concern the
welfare of the city or tie state. The
Post proposes to keep on telling the
truth.

GRANDMA'S EYES.

They wonder why love her SO;
They marvel where the magic lies
That knits me TO her they who know
That Gladys has her grandma's eyesl
They say she's but a thougbtless tot;
They say 'tis true she never tries
To pleasure me-but try or not.
She can't but please with grandma's eyea
They say her sisters are as sweet
1t may be 20, as they surmise,
But who but Gladys comes To greet
Me gayly with her grandma's eyesf
She'd have the tnoont I'd give the sum
What wonder that my heart denies
No draft thar made on Il by one
Who always asks with grandma's eyesl
She lights up all this world OF woe,
She silences e'en sorrows cries;
She follows me, whereer GO
Forever with her grandma's eyes
All, who that knows what powers proceed
From simple things, In what strange guise
Can doubt little child may lead
An old man with her grandma's eyes
With Gladys grow young again
|. who am gray-so fast time flies
Am young. yet how my heart aches when
She looks at me with grandma's eyesl
Ny child wife smiles once more on me,
Glad tears within mine own arise,
AS with my grandchild on my knee

EsQUIMAU COURTsHIP.
Chicago Sunday Globe

chicago sunday GloDe'
The courtship Of the Esquimaux is
very peculiar. The old folks get to-
gether and arrange the match. The
question then arises: Is he able to
support wife? In order to answer
this to the satisfaction of all parties
he is required to go out and kill a po.
lar bear. As soon as he has don,
this he comes in and sneaks behind
the door of his sweetheart's house,
and when she comes out he tries TO
pounce upon her and carry her to his
dog -sledge. If she can get away she
does so, kicking, scratching and bit
ing like perfect fury. He gives
chase, whereupon all the old women
rush out and beat her with frozen
strips of sealskin until she falls ex-
hausted. He then rushes her to the
sledge, whips up the dogs, and the
marriage ceremonies are all over.

Splendid speed recently marks the pro-

Cyclopedia. The sixteenth volume eX-
tends from Galvanized Iron to Cog and
Magog. This odd beginning and ending
illustrates the magnificent scope of the
work, taking in as it does the very latest
discoveries of science and the remotest
traditions of antiquity, and all between,
including an unabridged dictionary of
language as well as a cyclopedia of uni
versal knowledge. The small handy vol
umes, contrasting SO remarkably with the
usual unwieldly quarto or octave volumes
of other cyclopedias, the large handsome
type, the numerous illustrations, the eX-
celent printing and the neat, strong
binding, are features which everyone
can appreciate; and not less will the ma
ority of readers appreciate the wonder

The New York Mail & Express is
authority for this statement:
The late Col. William Cassius
Goodloe originated the word "spell-
binder" He had charge of the
Speakers Bureau at Republican Ma
tional Headquarters last year, and
all the orators reported to him.
The Colonel had keen apprecia-
ton of the humorous, and after some
fifty or sixty orators had come in from
their tours and related with great en-
phasis that they had held their audi
ences "spellbound," he got so he
knew them all by sight, and when
ever he saw one coming in he would
say, "There comes a spellblnder. :.
The word took, and the Spellbinders'
Association was the result.
