REAL FRIENDS.

Years Will Not Weaken. but Rather
Strengthen. u True Friendship.
You may have heard Your mother tell
how, when she went to school. she had
such dear girl friend. and how they
two have kept up the friendliness for
many long years, and you have perhaps
heard her say that school friendships
are often the most enduring of any.
Then you have wondered if you and
your present 'best friend will love
each other when both of you are gray
headed. Now let us see how things
stand between !you and your best friend
Anna. OF course you like her very
much, but you must confess that very
| frequently there comes little tiff. =
and you fall out" When such a thing
| happens you straightway transplant
your affections To some other girl, and
your friend does likewise. You two
scarcely speak when you meet, and
generally make n point of showing
great devotion to the new friend in the
presence of the old one.
Now isn't it rather silly to have these
unhappy differences SO frequently? II
Anna does some unworthy act. then
She deserves the loss of your friend.
ship; but is your regard 81 frail a thing
that it can not stand small differences
of opinion? Can not you be more gen.
erouS?
| If your friend is lovablc and You are
the kind of girl you ought to bc. then
You will bear with her Inconsistencies
and put up with some of her faults.
Perhaps you are not quite perfect your
self and she may have to bear some
things from You. lfyour friendship is
the real thing, you will remember that
love ''hopeth all things" ''bcareth all
things" and So bearing many things
patiently and sweetly, you will find
that years will not weaken but will
rather strengthen your mutual bond oi

AMERICAN TOURISTS.
A Graphic Description of Their style a
European Travel

European Travel.
Americans travelling in Europe are
for the most part in an immehsity o:
perspiration. Starting with what they
call 1.-THE small and insignificant island
of Great Britain" and having adopted
the feeling of the Yankee who said he
thought England a very nice little
island, but he was afraid to go out
nights lest he should fall off, they ex-
pect to see all Europe in a few days.
They spend much of their time at de-
pots inquiring about the next train, or
rush past Mont Blanc, with no time to
stop, chasing up a lost valise.

deftly, stout moose is whirlcd over

men lay hold of the rope. After many
futile attempts the rope is finally en-
tangled in the broncho's feet and the
animal thrown to the ground
Quick as flash one of the men
throws himself upon the brolchp's
head, with one knee firmly on the head.
With tfextrous hands the horses feet
are tied tightly together, just below the
fetlock. The animal is now perfectly
helpless and further proceedings are
undertaken at the leisure of the opera

While the broncho is yet helpless, with

already broken and used to such work,
is led to the spot and the wild broncho
is tailed to the tame one: that

the two horses, thus strangely fastened

they will. OF course, there is backing,
and jumping and pulling. and all sorts
of unpleasant things for the tame ami

also to frighten away the jackals, who
used to come in numbers around our

their unearthly cries. 1t had been n

watching the shadows creeping and

strange shadow crept over the ground.

but nothing unusual was in sight Per-
haps it was only shadow, but it
seemed to crawl with the inimitable,
deadly grace that only tiger has.
Just as the light rose clear above the
fringing belt of cocoanut palms there
came trottiDg up the path toward the
bungalow. chanting a song. two Sudras
carrying between them a burden sus-
pended from pole, the ends of which
rested on their shoulders. The Sudras
are the lowest of the four great castles
of liindOos. They are very poor and
live ali their lives near starvation. But
they are happy in their domestic life
and show especial care for the aged or
infirm. Placing their burden on the
ground at the foot of the bungalow
steps they made a profound salaam,
carefully turning back the cloth from
their load, and 10. a smiling old father
looked up at his affectionate sons.

the sunlit path and faded from sight in
the tangled shadows of the orange and
