Friendship. - Whatever happens
never forsake Il friend. When enc
mics gather, when sickness falls on the
heart, when the world is dark and
cheerless, is the time to try true friend
ship. They who turn from the scenes
of distress betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that interest only moves them.
IF you have friend who loves you,
who has studied your interest and hap
piness, he sure to sustain him in ad'
versity. Let him feel that his love
was not thrown away. Real fidelity
may be rare, but it eXists-in the
heart. They only deny its power who
never loved friend or labored to make
friend happy.

A Mock Court Trial.

With it's customary versatility of ideas Bos-
worth Post No. q G. A. r., comes to the front
in presenting to the Portland public an enter
tainment that is rich, rare and intensely anus
ing. The mock court trial at City hall on a date
yet to be fixed but within two weeks, is to be an
event of more than ordinary interest. The gen.
tlemen who will participate are our own repre-
sentative citizens and in thus volunteering their
aid demonstrate once more their loyalty to
the Post. True this entertainment is not origi-
nal with the members of the Post, but knowing
a good thing when they see it, they do not hesi-
tate to present it, inasmuch as such an event
was never given in Portland on so grand a
scale. The opening of the court the ludicrous
empanneling of the Ejury, the testimony of wit
nesses, the arguments of the lawyers, the
judge, etc., will insure an interesting, exciting
and laughable entertainment. Ex-Generals,
ex-governors, lawyers, doctors, ETC., will occu-
py the jury box at this trial as they have at the
trials that have taken place in other cities.
Tickets will be on sale shortly.
