Friendshfp.

The time to try true friendship is when
enemies gather about you: when troubles
drop down upon you; when your way is
dark and cherries. If your friend for
sakes you then, calculate upon it that he
never was your friend. and it is by far bet
ter that you should have found it out, in
trials, than to have lived on, putting conf
dence in the smooth utterances of him who
was only leech to get out of you all he
could. The man who turns away from
scenes of distress is hypocrlte. If you
have friend who loves you, who has al
ways studied your happiness and the sue
cess of your interests. do not forget to sus-
tain him when adversely comes in upon
HIM like a flood. He needs your sympathy
then, as at no other time. So. you should
make him feel that you appreciate former
kindness shown you. and that his kindness
and love and self sacrifice were not thrown
away. There is such thing as real tidel-
ity to a friend. even though it is a rare
virtue. 1t nevertheless exists. But it
must exist in the heart before it can ever
exist in the actual life. They only deny
its existence and power who never have
loved friend. who have never sacrificed
to make somebody else happy. The good
man. the virtuous man. not only believes
true friendship exists, but sees and feels
its exaltng influence. -Church News.

When Supt. Gilbert went to see the most

PERFECT FRIENDSHIP.
A Test That Il Much More Severe Tha
Many May Suppose.

A Test That Is Much More Severe Than
Many May Suppose.
A popular view of friendship sees its
highest testing in adversely; yet, as a
matter of fact, it is easier TO be friend
to one who needs our help than to one
who is so prospered as to eclipse US in
all that the world values and gives
honor to- So long as our friendship
seems to be a necessity to one whom we
love, we can find peculiar pleasure in
being graciously and considerably low
ing toward him; but when the only call
on us as friend is to share with others
in recognizing the advancement and ele-
walton of him who has nothing to gain
from our favor, there comes test of our
unselfish friendship unknown to any
other condition Of being. Thomas
Buchanan Read, in letter to his life
long friend, Henry c. Townsend, writing
of the word friend" said: There
are few words 80 beautiful, so compre-
hensive. It includes devotion, self-sac-
rifice, defense against all things-in-
Guiding calumny and misfortune; but,
best of all, joy in another's JOY, and ex-
ultation in his prosperity; this being in
my mind the highest proof of friendship.
It is easy to sympathize with misfort-
une-the heart full of envy and malice
might even do that; but devoid of these
must that beautiful soul be that can
look upon friends success with glad
ness, having no other interest than that
of pure enjoyment of his happiness. I"
And this test also every true friendship
can stand. He who is a friend will be
unselfishly loving and unfailingly ready
to give help, in time Of need, to him to
whom he is a friend, and when that
dear one is prospered and uplifted, the
true friend will have glad and grateful
joy and pride in his advancement.-S2

But that was years ago, and tonight

It hadn't all come about just tonight,

A WOMAN CONDUCTOR.
She Understood Her Business, Got Mar
ried, and Il Happy.


Tied. and Is Happy.
Talk about woman suffrage" said .
veteran railroad conductor to a reporter.
Il can relate to you a phase of woman
that few people have seen in this coun-
try.
"A few days ago was going out from
Denver, Col, on the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad, when l was thrown in
company with lady who opened my
eyes, conductor as / was. She was
petite brunette, who had the vim and
manner of what l would term a manly
woman. Not impulsive and given to
erratic spells, but purely woman given
by nature to manhood's ways.
This lady was conductor on a branch
train tapping our line. and she was the
first female ever knew acting in that
capacity.
but you must not think that she was
while she had her range and could go
just so far. to that extent she did her
work supeybly. She collected fares and
punched tickets like man, but when it
came to putting some fellow off because
of his failure to comply with the require
ments of the railroad company it was
her custom to call on a man to do the
work. The brakeman on the train was
usually present to do her commands,
but l have known cases where the pas
sengers were called on to put other pas
sengers off the train.
Il will relate a singular occurrence
that took place at certain point in
the Northwest. The lady conductor
had charge of the train, and burly,
gruff passenger from Iowa got on board.
He had not cent to pay his fare to her
knowledge, and when the ticket col
lector came along a climax occurred.
She demanded his fare.
81 haven't got it to give you,' he
said.
Then you must get off she replied.
emphatically.

".Then have a seat, said he, and she
sat down by his side. She first passed
her lynx eye about, and seeing no man
around resolved to say no more.

quite Unexpectedly arose, reached into
his pockets, paid his fare, and, giving
the lady scrap of parchment on which
was inscribed his name, stood on the
platform and gazed wistfully on the
train as it pulled out.
81 don't know what transpired during
the interim, but that lady is no longer =
conductor on any train. She is married,
and the mountaineer who was on the
train is her husband. He is wealthy in
mining interests, having many shafts in
constant operation. That's my idea of
woman suffrage. The theory before the
country now has been instigated and is
now being agitated by class of the fem

less extent, excluded from proper I'M
