/ sing Of friendship. IT'S a word
That's very very often heard.
But little understood.
One holds a. friend the useful man
Who at the timely moment can
Do him o deal Of good.
Another says a friend IS he
Who's ready with his sympathy
And excellent advice;
And yet another deems him ono
who Joins straight in the passing fun
And adds his share Of spice.
Again. you hear tho only friend
Is he who willing 10 to lend
His money at the call.
But none OF these. though fair. will do;
They haven't really got the true
Descriptive touch at all.
The friends. the bona ide friends.
Are they who. when good luck attends
Upon you for 9 season.
Do not commence TO sheer and nout
And say th@whole affairs without
The slightest rhyme or reason;
whodo not lift their eyebrows, or
Deal in sarcastic metaphor.
Their lips with envy curvinE.
Keep them. my boy Such friends are rare.
But II you have them. know that they're
The sole ones worth preserving!

A GolnnG Tale.


FIVUt upps
Once. upon . midday elaring.
I. while DER the links a.farino.
Was my ragged game comparing
With what Il before had been.
While I mused on thoughts unuttered,
Suddenly I heard a muttered
Swearing from n man who p~utterod
On a nearby putting green,
sulphurous the words he uttered.
Twas q golfer sad who swore.
Only this and nothing more.
Then I stopped awhile and listened,
Where the altered suuheams glistened
Through the leaves above. and christened
Earth with focks of dancing light.
Standing there. I heard his %Grumblins.
Heard hia sad. despairing mumbling.
His ambitious l~onRinss humbling
In his hopeless. hapless plight.
"will I fail" auoth he. forever"
Must l try. and get II never2"
ouoth 1, silent. "Nevermore."
Then un.o the tee he hurried.
Angry, soowling. 1rrrted. worried.
while his caddie quickly scurried
Toward the bunker's yawning brini.
For the boy knew what was coming.
Knew that no ball. swiftly hnmming,
Hundred yards with hundred summing,
Would go sailing over him.
And l knew that he was saying:
WI that dufer learn good playing?
Quoth L: Never. Nevermore."
Then. the ball with club addressing.
Lips together firmly pressing.
wrinkled brow. and look distressing,
Stood that golfer by the tee.
Might and main. he swung, and topped 10.
on Il rolled. The bunker stonped II.
Then he curaed the club and dropped II.
Hot and mad clean through was he.
What he said is best unwritten.
Golf had given him the milton.
He will win her nevermore.
Then I watched him, niblick swinging.
Sand from out the bunker finginR,
Stroke on stroke together stringing,,
with q hopeless lack OF skill.
Then an ill.aimed brassy. pounding.
To q hazard sent II bounding;
And I beard an oath resoundfng,
Az he followed DER the hill.
Sadly I resumed my playing.
While my inner voice kept saying:
"wiIl he learn It? Nevermore."
Keep cool. cardinal the rule II.
Surely then the man q fool IN
Who o blind and stubborn mule In,
And refuses to obey.
Calm. unruffled. fate-defyinR.
Keep your temper; or, with signing,
You will spend your days in trying,
Learning never how to play.
Golfers who may long for laurel.
Heed my Wholesome little moral.
True It is. forevermore. FRANCIS B. REFSE'
