Mental Health In FRIENDSHIP,

Friendship cannot be too often nor
too much extolled. 1t not only is the
hearts food, but nourishes the under
standing. Mere comradeship and even
the company of ones enemies do the
latter, and one will whet his intellect
on them as boar whets his tusks
against tree. Men of themselves and
solitary are but unintelligent little
things and would be mentally scarce
superior to dogs and apes were it not
for what is offered by those about
them. Your man is like match which
must find some hard quality without
itself against which it must strike be-
fore it will burn. He has no power of
self ignition. Yet while simple CON-
pany and even that of a foe will
strengthen and teach growth to ones
understanding, just as wrestler tough
ems and wakes strong while he exerts
himself against an adversary, there is
a virtue to be drawn from friendship
and a health in. kindly confidence
which will owe itself to no other origin
or source.-Onlooker. = , l.

Kimberley After the Siere.

A city relieved after siege is q
queer place. Julian Ralph, in "An
American with Lord Roberts," says
that there never were so few horses
in the streets of any modern town as
were to be seen in Kimberley, when
its four tragic men his were over. OF
course there were no horses; the peo.
pie had eaten them. The dogs con.
sisted of bones, with a tongue hang
ing out. They looked like frames OF
dogs in process of construction.
The shops were open but the clerks
had grown to be as automatic as
cuckoo-clocks. Instead of Saying:
Cuckoo! cuckoo!" they kept on re-
marking: Cali out, ma'am! All out

POLISH NAME IN WIRE.
thing to Do for His
Money.

A street faker who had q stand
down in State street has temporarily
gone out of business. His particular
specially consisted in fashioning
bright colored wire to spell out
the name of his customers. He
used no pliers or other tools,
but twisted the wire to form
the various letters by using his
fingers only. The other night he
stood at his appointed place of BUSH
ness loudly extolling the marvellous
ness of his wares, says the Chicago
Tribune.
''Step up, step up, 1oidies and gents,
and see me moike yer noimes in wire.
I kin wire in every shape and form
and spell out yer name, no matter
whether it be Smith, Brown or Rub
berson. Come up, loidies and gents,
and toike home yer noimes neatly
made to hang above yer freside."
One of the passersby paused to look
at the takers handiwork, and he was
at once bounced upon by the faker,
who besought him to have his name
spelled out for only ten cents. "Vell, :"
said the man, II will; dere ist de
mona"
"Well, gent" said the faker, airily,
IAN now what might be the name
be?"
"Ignace stanislaus Zajaczschzo-
jzski.''
The faker grew pale. II say" he
said, "do you think this is wire

man away. ut 'ud toike two mileski

he said.
"You my mona hajsk1," said the
foreigner. my namen, PIES"
The crowd around the faker at once
sided with the customer.
"Sure," shouted half dozen voices
in clamor. snake the felly his

tough-looking man in the back of

So without another word the fellow
picked up his wire and worked for
half an hour and at the close of that
time he had fashioned out the name,
And Ignace Stanislaus Zajaczschzo-
jzski took his purchase and went
home, while the faker gathered up
the two inches of wire he had left
and fed down an alley.

SOARING THE LIONS.
Fierce Forest Kings Driven Off by
Initiating the Cries Of
Pack of Wolves.

NJ. Foa, the French explorer, says
that lions have a wholesome fear of
African wolves, which hunt in packs,
and do not scruple to attack even the
lion. There are terrible battles in
which the lion succumbs to numbers,
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lions fear of wolves NJ. Foa tells
a story from his own experience.
It was very dark night, so dark
until the travellers were close upon
them. Lions prowled about the party,
one of them roaring from point so
close as to have an alarming effect
on the nerves. The animals could not
be seen, but they could be heard on
all sides.
Reaching tree, the men found one
of their comrades with rifle cooked,
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts of the an
imal, which could be plainly heard
walking among the leaves. A second
man was trying to relight half-ex-
tinguished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going in the
darkness.
At this point the native servant
whispered the advice to initiate the cry
OF wolves in the distance. The party
at once began barking and crying:
"Hu! hu! hui" in an undertone, as if
the pack were still at distance, while
the man at the camp made the same
well-imitated cry.
The effect was instantaneous. There
was the sound of rapid stampede
across the dry leaves. The lions de-
camped in panic, driven off by the
supposed approach of a pack of wolves.
For the rest of the night the party was
undisturbed. =

Of immense value AS lawyer, doc
tor, merchant, mechanic, insurance
agent, clerk sor even laborer, the peo-
pie he has met and become acquainted
with will furnish a certain number of
patrons which could not be secured
by any other plans. If he seeks a
clerkship in store, the fact that he
knows 400 families in his precinct and
many other people in the county and
state will enable him to obtain high
er salary than he otherwise could. Ac-
tive participation in politics hurts no
man unless he neglects to be a gentle
man.
The student need not be ashamed of
the term "politician." 1t is "a title
which every citizen ought to bear, for
under our form of government a gen.
eral knowledge of practical politics is
necessary to the safety of the repub-
tic. So long as the management of
political affairs and the control of
party machinery are left in the hands
of few men our vaunted republic is
III euecL all Ollgdrcuy.
Final Suggestions.
In your year of political work and
study you have come in contact with
all sorts of men. You have formed
friendships and created enmities. Cher
ish such friendships, but forget the en-
mites. You cannot live long enough to
get even with all those who have in
jured you politically.
On the other hand, in politics never
trust man who has once willfully de-
ceived you.
Never attempt to placate an enemy
at the expense of friend.
Always respect honest opposition and
remember that he who is in opposition
to you this year may be with you next
year.
A political platform should contain
not the opinions Of each member Of
the convention, but consensus of the
opinions of the entire body.
Any political theory carried out to it's
logical conclusion may under certain
circumstances become ridiculous.
The majority will generally do right
If it is fully educated on the issues be-
fore the country.
In candidate common sense is more
to be desired than genius.
Never forget mat no man can be
greater than the party which nomi-
mates him, for, though he may secure
votes from the opposition, yet the bulk
of his strength comes from his own
party.
No man has ever proved successful
in politics unless he possessed the abil-
ity to choose proper agents to carry out
his plans. Cultivate this ability.
\ vote does not count until it is in
the ballot box.
1t is easier to get dozen Of your
own party to the polls than it is to
convert one member Of the opposition.
In politics you can usually count on
the opposition doing just what you do
not want it to do.
Plan carefully and execute promptly
but do not bind yourself down to cast
iron rules.
Never assume for expediency's sake
a position you cannot maintain. When
you feel that you are right, you can
endure defeat with equanimity.
Do not trust your own opinion on i'm
pOrtant matters. but consult with
those in when you have confidence
Personal interest is always power
full political factor.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-12-01

Many of us forget that there is a wide
difference between living and merely getting
a living
Wherever we go we find greater per
cent of well-to-do farmers with small farms
than with large ones.
If the farm is too large, not only will the
land receive too little attention, but the
family will be neglected.
1t is useless to advise cutting up fodder
this fall. Nature has taken that job into
her hands altogether too much, and over too
large a region.
1t is very difficult getting potatoes out of
the ground, owing to the extreme moisture;
but where and when it is possible to dig
them, it cannot be done too soon. There is
tendency to rot almost anywhere.
Crop rotation, especially with such plants
as alfalfa rape, coWpeas, bronze grass, ETC.,
is beginning to attract the attention of the
farmers who begin to realize the fact hat
cropping land is not necessarily farming it.
Put the best potatoes in the bin, the
soundest apples in the cellar, the best heads
of cabbage, the smoothest beets and carrots
and in fact the very best of everything the
farm affords, where the family can have
access to it until another harvest time.
First-class living is what the farmers family
deserves and can and should have.
