MAKE GOOD FRIENDS.
Every One Should Hsxs This In Mind
Because Of Future Benefits.

1t is not worth while to pause to
consider whether men in olden
times placed a mercantile value on
friendships. The significance of the
modern application needs no JUST
ication. Friendship pays. Ac-
3uaintance pays. That is q wise
young man who looks to it that his
acquaintance are formed with q
view to future benefit to himself.
What does it profit any man to
know lot of men who are only or
binary mortals with no capacity for
doing anything special or ar thing
especially well-mcrely men who
do a days work at whatever they
have to do and who spend their
leisure time at the races, baseball
games or at the theater!
The men to know are those who
have a serious purpose in life and
who 20 on eheerfully toward the
goal, developing their powers mean
while. At college a young man has
an excellent opportunity for select
ing among his classmates compan-
ions for future career, but If boy
is denied the advantage OF college
course, with its discipline and as
sociations, and is cast into the huge
swirl Of the commercial world with
out training he must make his
friends and get his start there. To
begin with, it requires no mercenary
foresight. No pleasant fellow need
be sighted because he probably can
not "be Of use," but the Importance
of spending little time with good
fellows is apparent when one has
his way to make BY his own efforts
in the world. Courtesy is always
commendable, and courtesy costs
nothing. II helps everywhere,
The value of long list Of friends
and acquaintance TO a commercial
man is most obvious, for BY his ac-
quaintance, his popularity, he OBJ
tains much valuable information
that helps when II comes to doing.

overlook the opportunity to cult
