Friendships.

Make new friends. but keep the old;
Cherish friendship in your breast;
New is good, but old is best;
Those are silver-these are gold.
Friendships that have stood the test
New acquaintance. like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine
Thru time and change are surely best.
But old friends, alas! may die;
Brow may wrinkle. hair grow gray
Friendship never knows decay;
New friends must their place supply.
Make new friends, but keep the old.
For, mid old friends tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew,
Those are silver-these are gold.

Not for Glory but for Good.

The Sunshiners make no parade OF
charity. Their effort is to help those who
need helping at the time and in the way
which will be most helpful. They work not
for glory but for good; they bring sunshine
into places where there is sorrow, hope.
into hearts that are Respondent They
help to smooth the rough pathway Of eX-
perience and they fill the very atmos-
phere with the incense of kind-hearted
humanity.
The sunshine spirit is the most helpful
and uplifting spirit that exists IN the
hearts of the people today.

Good Temper.

Good temper is a valuable possession
and, while it is happily inherited by some
fortunate people, it is with great difficulty
acquired by others.
One thing that we know to be true is
that the sight of your bright smiling.
happy face will do much to drive the
frowns and wrinkles away from the faces
of others. The sound of a cheerful voice
or peal of merry, laughter. will do Won
ders in helping some unhappy or discour-
aged one to refrain from speaking fret
fully and impatiently and serve TO aid
them, in time to acquire that priceless
treasure continuous good temper.

INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.

Certainly, in our own little sphere, it is
not the most active people to whom we
owe the most.
Among the common people whom we
know, it is not necessarily those who are
busiest, not those who, meteor-like, are
ever on the rush after some visible charge
and work -.
1t is the lives, like the stars. which sim
ply pour down on us the calm light of
their bright and faithful being, up TO
which we look and out Of which we gather
the deepest calm and courage.
1t seems to me that there is reinsurance
here fer many of us who seem to have
no chance for active usefulness. We can
do nothing for our felowmen. But still
it is good to know that we can be some
thing for them; to know (and this we may
know surely) that no man or woman OF
the humblest sort can really be strong
gentle, pure and good. without the world
being better for it, without somebody be-
ing helped and comforted by the very ex-
istence Of that goodness.

Sioux City, Aug. 16.--After fou,
months of perfect harmony between
employer and employee about 100
workmen, skilled and common laborers,
yesterday quit their jobs because OF
various unsatisfactory conditions.
Twenty plastererS and fathers went
out from their work on the new
Hotel Leader. claiming that the re-
strictions placed upon them by Con-
tractor John Swanson were lnreason-
able.
Thirty laborers quit at the Sim
mons Hardware company building.
They alleged the work was entirely
too onerous for the wages paid.
Twenty laborers walked away from
their picks and shovels In the bitches
being dug by the General Engineer
ing company, saying that they could
get better wages.
On other contracts there were de-
sertions, most OF them being be-
cause of prospects of better wages.
More Work Than Mon.
The situation is due to the fact
that there is more work in the city
than can be cared for by the men on
hand. Most of this is of the common
laboring variety, for which the differ
ent contractors are paying TN cents
an hour. The disaffected workmen
claim they ought to get 20 cents an
hour. The scale of TN cents is being
paid generally throughout the city.
