True Friendship One Of the Most
Sacred Of Earthly Things.

What is more sacred in this world
than our friendships? One of the
most touching things know of is the
Office of real friend to one who is
not friend to himself--one who has
lost his self-respect, his self-control
and fallen to the level of the brute!
All, this is friendship, indeed, which
will stand by us when we will not
stand by ourselves know man
who thus stood by a friend who had.
become such a slave to drink and all
sorts of vice that oven his family HAD
turned him out Of doors, says a writer
In Success Magazine. When his IA
ther and mother and wife and chill
dren had forsaken him, his friend re-
.rrined loyal. He would follow him
nights in his debauches, and many
time saved him from freezing to death
when he was so inebIiated 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 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 de-
cency and to his home. Can any
money measure the value of such de-
votion?

VEGETABLES ON THE ROOF.
A Real Practical Garden Constructed
on the Housetop.

Saying that the conventional ROOF
garden was misnomer, Mrs. Antonio
Bellestri of 1899 Hillen street, built a
real garden on her roof and planted
variety of vegetables. Stalks OF
corn, which is only one OF the many
vegetables she raises, can be seen
fsom the street, and attract much at.
tention.
The inability to buy vegetables in
the market caused Mrs. Bellestri to
conceive the idea of a roof garden.
Procuring several store boxes of a
depth OF about six feet, she filled
them with rich soil and planted the
seeds. The growth OF the plants
was watched with keen interest, .,nd
to her delight the vegetables she lie.
sired came in abundance, and she had
more than could be used by her fam.
NY. Those that she does not use are
sent to her friends.
several crops are raised a year. and
besides corn and spices she has beans.
pumpkins, sQuashes, cucumbers and
several Italian plants that flourish

Soldiers Raided a University.

Kiev, Russia. Nov. 1S.--A Gordon OF
soldiers was thrown around the Kiev
university Sunday while conference of
the southern social revolutionary or.
ganization was being held in the
building in the guise of student
meeting. The meeting was broken up
and every person who could not show
matriculation papers was arrested.
After the departure of the troops a
mob of students broke into the uni;
versity and demanded that lectures
be suspended as protest against the
invasion of the university by the a,i-
thorities. To put an end to this dis
order the buildings were surrounded
by troops second time. Two hun

WHEN LOVE BEGINS TO COOL.
Dire Significance Of Wife's Failure to
Meet Husband.

William Dean Howells," said q
magazine editor, lis one of the few
men Of mark and genius who admit
that love--the love that exists before
niarriage--dies after it. It takes
courage to admit this truth, for 1t is
a sad one.
"And talking rather sadly about It.,
! once heard Mr.. Howells narrate a
conversation between young hus-
band and wife of Long Branch. W
"The young couple had been mar
ried in the winter in New York, and
hey were now spending the summer
1t the seashore. The pretty wife in
Ter white gown, walking on the
beach beside her husband, tossed her
head and said
"'Well, what II don't come to
meet you every night at the station
my. longer, what does II signify?
THE husband smiled sadly.
That we have been married five
months, he said"

JAPS TREAD ON
ENGLISH C0RNS
JAPANESE EXPANSION MOVE
MENT IN CHINA is RESENTED.
A SPEECH BY COUNT OKUMA
Has Aroused the Wrath of Britons
and There Is Open Warfare
Between Japanese and
English Merchants.

Peking, Nov. 1S.-The speech deliy.
cred at Kobe by Count Okuma. who
was at one time head of the progress
sive party in Japan, in which he de-
clared that Japan would sorely disap.
point the people of India as well as
ignore the opportunities given by
Heaven If she failed to afford protec-
tion to the millions in India now be-
ing oppressed by Europe, has caused
great excitement among the British
newspapers published in North China.
In this section of the empire the Jap
anese expansion movement Is inter-
fering greatly with British interests
aud there is open warfare between
Japanese and British merchants.
Since last May Englishmen have
been the leaders in the antiJapanese
campaign in Peking and Tien-Tsin.
The Times, which is the principal
British organ in North China, gives
expression to the deep seated and
smoldering wrath" of Brltons in the
Far East and accepts Count Okuma's S
words as a national expression. They
reveal, this paper declares, "the
cloven hoof and the attitude of a pre-
coclous and ill-mannered baby among
the civilized nations toward country
the support of which gave her her
present position in the world. We
hope that the revelations made by
Count Okuma will open the eyes of
King Edward and his countrymen as
the eyes Of Britons here were opened
long ago.
The pro-Japanese British press in
the south of China has indicated
its purpose of fighting the Japanese,
whose operations" it is declared,
now conflict with those of Great
Bitaln's from the Yangtse to Man
churia." One paper expresses the
opinion that the agitation of the pres
ent situation will probably result in
breaking the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
