NO TIME FOR FRIENDSHIP.
That Old Fashioned Quality Is Said
to Ec Ont of Date.

Friendship is said to be out of date.
We certainly have not much time to
spare nowadays, even to reflect on
what the rush and hurry and hustle Of
modern life are costing us. Now and
again, however. there is borne in upon
US the sad realization Of the losses we
sustain as we tear and scramble
through what we now call life. And is
not one of these the power of establish
ing close friendships?
1t is a sad reflection, but the more
we think Of it the truer we shall find it
to be, that we no longer have time to
knit together those bonds of true
friendship and affection which bound
our predecessors together and made
life sweet to them.
We are always in Il hurry. rushing
here and there. We meet and know
many people in crowds and yet never
have time to understand them, to give
them or gain from them sympathy. We
can scarcely spare an hour that is I'M

There were screams and a heartrend-

shook, women tainted and walls rock

''When the first confusion was over
it was discovered that in all the crowd
only one person was injured, and that
was the bride herself. She lay partly
on the floor and partly in her lovers
arms, crushed and bleeding. pale, but
very beautiful, her bridal gown drench-

her breast.
Laying her on lounge, the frantic
bridegroom besought her by every
term of tenderness and endearment to
allow the ceremony to proceed, to
which she weakly gave consent, and,
lying like a crushed flower no less
white than the camellias of her bridal
bouquet, her breath coming in short
gasps and the blood flowing from this
great, angry wound, she murmured
yes to the clergyman and received her
husbands first kiss. A moment more
