wears across his breast a two or three
inch thick mating. Armed with a
spear. with n club attachment at the

Each man places his private mark
upon his booty. and when they have

A WORD ABOUT FRIENDS.
yye xeed Good ones to Heip Us In the
Development Of Good IN
Ourselves.


II we would retain our friends we
must make as proper use Of them as
Of our enemies, or any other neces-
Eity. Yet a great many Of us do not
know how to use our friends, and we
are constantly striving 70 create ar1
uneven balance of power, mostly in
favor Of ourselves. A friend Is sup
posed to be a deposit in the bank, q
pack horse for emergencies, some
thing 20 fall back on, to borrow
money from, to relate our stories TO,
shed our tears upon, and what not.
And when we try these things upon
our friend and he fails we sigh, lift
our hands TO heaven and talk Of mans
ingratitude TO man, writes Tom Mas
son in Brooklyn Life.
Friendship, however, is none OF
these things. Your friend is lost TO
you when he begins to help you. The
only real friend is one whom we can
depend upon always when we are not
in trouble. Our own strength always
governs the measure Of friendship
that others feel for us. A friend Is a
necessity, not for what he gives us,
but for what we can give to him.
And yet II he should ask this Of us, OF
require II, loi our friendship for him
would melt away. Friendship Is moth
ing but the capacity in others 10 help
ourselves.
II Is true, therefore, that when we
are in need the last person TO borrow
from Is our friend. Friendship Is
more valuable than money. IL doesn't
pay 70 give up one for the other. We
need our friends 20 enable us to de-
velop certain inherent capacities
which make us valuable TO others as
means whereby they, in turn, may de-
velop into the right sort Of friends.
In choosing our friends, therefore,
we should select ir them those quail
ties which will rebound TO our own
development, which will thus serve 20
bind them closer TO us as time goes on
A friend Is merely q permanent
guest. We should treat him as IL he
owned the house, and not ask any
| thing Of him.
