A girl | know said: "I'm great
one for making friends" IL sounded
as II she ought to DO very happy, but
w en- had moment to reflect won
dered II she were good at keeping
them. says writer in the Ladies' Home
Journal. Making friends Is easy to
the girl who is bright and happy
whose society gives pleasure and W o
is genial. But the keeping OF them
demands more than this.
II you want TO keep n friend don't
get too intimate with her.
Have your own thoughts and permit
her 10 have hers.
And do not DO too aggressive want
ing to know why she hasn't done this
and why she doesn't think as you do.
II you think your friends style OF
dress isn't beautiful. dent tell her;
you only offend her. because deep In
her heart she Is convinced she knows a
great deal more about 1t than you do.
DO not find fault with your friends
friend. and do not expect TO be tho on
ly one given corner in her heart
BE as considerate OF her feelings as
II she were stranger. and remember
that politeness is an everyday gar
ment and not one intended only for
high days and holidays. To sum 1t up
in one sentence. preserve the courtesy
OF tho beginning II you wish to keep
your friendship TO the end.

Two little monkeys were swinging one day
In the top OF \ cocoanut tree;
Said one little M. 10 the other, "Ahefn,
You don't look nj all like me-
Not AZ all, not nj all like me.
My nose Is turned up much higher than
yours,
And my eyes they are wondrously small;
Ny nngers are longer, my tail IL Is stronger -
Oh. mol you're not like me at all;
Don't frown; but, indeed. not At all.

Not word said her friend, but she threw

With look OF deep indignation.
And she whaeked the "bello" Till she tot

And that ended the conversation

Temptation.

This Is what Prof. Henry Drum
mond, OF Glasgow, says about n boys
temptation: you have heard OF the
old castle that was taken by single
gun. The attacking force had only
one gun, and IL seemed hopeless to try
TO take the castle; but one soldier
said. i can show you how you can
take the castle, and he pointed the
cannon TO one spot and fired, and
went on all day. never moving the
cannon. About night-fall there were
la few grains OF sand knocked off the
walt lie did the same thing the
next day and the next. BY and by the
stones began TO come away and by
steadily working his gun for one week.
he made n hole I'm that castle big
enough for the army to walk through.
Now, with single gun firing away at
every boys life. the devil is trying TO
get in ut one opening. Temptation Is
the practice OF the soul. and IL you
never have any temptation you will
never have any practice. A boy that
attends fifty drills in IA year Is n much
better soldier than the one that drills
twice. DO not quarrel with your
temptations; set Yourself resolutely To-
face thcm.n

Mos. m. Dear Heart.

In n very elegant palace car entered
n weary faced, poorly dressed woman,
with three children, one baby i'm her
arms. A look OF Joy crept into her
face as she sat down into one OF the,
luxurious chairs, but II was quickly
dispellod as she was asked rudely to-
start her boots" A smile of amuse-
ment was seen on several faces as
the frightened group hurried out To
one OF the common cars. Upon one
young face. however. there was n
look which sbamed tho countenance
OF the others.

re Rion are to be found every nine or
ten miles apart. and near each settle
ment at an hours march distance Will
be found from four TO eight pigmy VII
lagos situated along tho paths leading
TO II. The larger aborigines are very
Industrious and form clearing oil
400 to 1000 acres. Amid the PROSTATE
forests they plant their bana M ana
plantain bulbs. In twelve months the
PROSTATE trees are almost hidden by
the luxuriant fronds and abundant
fruit OF unrivalcd quality and size, and
flavor. II would be easy TO prove
that In the forest an acre OF banana
plants produces twenty five times moro
food than an acre In wheat produces
Ia England. The pigmies appear TO
be aware that a banana plantation Is
inexhaustible. and to think that they
have as much right TO the produce as
the aboriginal owners. Therefore they
cling TO these plantations and make
the larger natives pay dearly for the
honor OF their acquaintance. In
another manner they perform valuable
service 10 them by warning them OF
the advance OF strangers and assisting
them to defend their settlements; they
also trap game and birds and supply
the larger natives with peltry. feathers
and meat Ii appeared 10 me that the
pigmies were regarded somewhat as
parasites. whose departure would be
more welcome than their vicinity.
When honey and game. meat peltry'
and feathers get low or scarce In the
neighborhood the pIgmies pack their
household goods on their womens'
backs and depart elsewhere TO attach
themselves TO some other plantations.
A forest village consists OF from twenty
to 100 families OF pigmies.

The committee mt once looked over the
lands offered Tor site for the court

which il situated ON the summit OF the
hill at the west end of Superior avenue
and the deal was practically closed. The
tract Of land purchased embraces twelve
lots each COX 100 feet, and the street the
length OF the lots, six on either side oil the
road. better site could not have pos
sibly been selected, and IL the building
committee continues its work on the line
il has started there can be no room for
fault finding. The selected location is
the most slightly in the city, being on n
high raise OF ground overlooking the city
and country for miles around, which will
show off the elegant $50, 900 court house
and jail TO the very best advantage. The
wagon road which now passes through
the land will be vacated and made TO
pass around either side of the court
house grounds. A contract TO clear and
grade the land and excavate for the
stone foundation was awarded To VIM.
Russell, who will commence the work
forthwith. Architect Clancy is busy
drafting his plans TO be submitted TO the

plans will be accepted and the buildings
erected according thereto. The commit
tee assures that from now on no time
will be lost and that the buildings will be
completed just as soon as it is possible
