THAT is REAL
IS BEST FRIENDSHIP

What is more sacred in this world
than our friendships? One of the most
touching things / know of is the office
of a real friend TO one who IS not a
friend 10 himself-one who has lost his
self-respeet, his self-conrrol. and fallen
to the level of the brutel An! this is
friendship, indeed, which will stand by
US when we will not stand by Ourselvesi
1 know a man who thus stood by q
friend who had become such slave 10
drink and all sorts of vice that even his
family had turned him out of doors.
When his father and mother and wife
and children bad forsaken him, his
friend remained loyal. He would follow
him nights in his debauches, and many
a time saved him from freezing to death
when he was so inebriated that he could
not stand. Scores of times this friend
would leave his home and hunt in the
slums for him, to keep him from the
hands Of a policeman. and to shield him
from the cold when every one else had
forsaken him: and this great love and
devotion finally redeemed the fallen man
and sent him back to decency and to his
home Can any money measure the val
ue of such vOtion?-Success-

Zoo pets IN Hotels.

'The one thing we have more trou-
BILE with than anything else" said the
manager Of one of the large hotels in
upper Broadway, sis the fact that wo-
men insist on smuggling their pet dogs
to their rooms. We have no objections
to dogs as dogs. If the animal is not
too large or too fierce our guests may
take them to their rooms during the
day and may even feed them there.
But we draw the line at having dogs
in the bedrooms ut night. Any woman
with a pet dog can have the beast
cared for by the porter at night, and
we have specially constructed kennels
70. all kinds of dogs, and we give
them the best of care. But owners of
pets seem to think that no one save
themselves understands Fido or Gyp.
The women seem to think that If dog
gle has not the comforting assurance
of the owners nearness then doggie
will not sleep we'll So women try to
smuggle their pets to their rooms un-
der their cloaks or by back ways or
even bride one OF the porters to take
it to their room, believing that we will
not hear anything about 1t.
"As matter of fact, the first thing
the porter does after getting his tip is
to tip me. and n couple of hours later
the woman is called upon by n clerk,
who tells her dogs cannot stay in the
bedrooms all night.-New York Press.
