He has been working away at top

warp and woof of paper and ink. His

There are friends in what is labeled
"the smart set" whose motto In life
would appear to be. Danish dull care"
These are the people who give those
cheerful dinners where nobody cares a
rap for precedence. Everybody

They are all great friends. OF course,

that, while they smile sweetly and say
"Cat!" In connection with most of them

called friendships In society are made
without a purpose, either political. so

"tlp" from the millionaire, either q
Stock Exchange tip or one affecting
coin or copper or whatever his special
line may be. Our mice" friends are
nice in SO far as they are useful to us.
At the same time, In justice to society,
1t ought to be pointed out that no one
is taken in by these interested friend

friends calculating how much they will
benefit thereby are seen through by ev-

FOR GOOD WOOL.

Dryness is one OF the requirements
in the production OF the finest grades
of wool, and it is fact that exposure
to dampness makes the wool harsh and
brittle ana the fiber weak. The natural
oil which is necessary to the health
and natural growth OF the wool is
washed out by the rains and the quail
ity OF the wool is thus injured.
