Evil reports should not be listened to and
should be slow to lie believed. Do not de-
sert your friend in time of danger or need.
Too many friendships are confined only to
the day of prosperity. 1t is not true friend

constancy during the hour Of danger and

neglect occurs from many, is the time to

Christ is the type of true friendship. He
says: 81 will never leave or forsake thee +"
Let us in our everyday life take him for an
example. A true and honorable friendship
must attract the vensrati0n OF all. Be firm
in your friendships, sianch and true. Do
your own part well. Be constant. Be faith
full. Aim to be yourself true type of

Sometimes it takes many years for us to
learn W no are our friends True friends are
hard to find, and if we secure one in every
decade We may consider ourselves fortunate.
Some pretend to be good friends, and while
they are with us try to make US believe that
we are the best people in the world; then,
as soon as we are out Of hearing, say evil
things against us.
Perhaps we have had confidence in them
and have told them something which should

His IIcncOop StrEudIcs the Line BE-
tween Arizona md Mexico.
There is a funny case Of international
honesty down i'll Arizona, just on the
line between that territory and Mexico,
says the Washington Times. A Yam
kee farmer lives there, one Amasa Bar
row by name, and it is his business to
raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap
in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices
in Arizona, but to raise fowls in Mex
leo and bring them across the boun-
dairy, or to buy the feed and bring it
across, would involve the payment of
a considerable duty, which would eat
the profits about as fast as the hens
could eat the corn. AS for smuggling,
that was not to be thought of.
Amasa is n Yankee, and he is SO hon
est that his neighbors say he wouldn't
take advantage of man in horse
trade. But he is also full of Yankee
ingenuity, and after deep ccgitation
he built long, slim hencocp, one-half
Of it in Arizona and the Other in Mexico.
On the line there is n gate. Over the
line there are barns contai 1irg feed.
At feeding time the gate is ol ered, and
the chicken fancier Shoes his flock into
Mexico, where they eat their meal.
Then he Shoes them back to tic p otec-
ton OF the American flag, where they
digest this Mexican grain, lay their
eggs and carry on their family affairs.
MIR. Barrow saves about so per cent.
on his grain, and makes about that
much on his chickens, and If there is
any smuggling done It is done by the
innocent and irresponsible biddies.
