IN THE FIELD OF FRIENDSHIP
There We Are in Contact with Some
of the Finest Issues of Life.

The field OF friendship is wide one
and all our neighbors, both near and
far, should be candidates for admis-
sion there. The appearance OF cold
esteem, the passing salutation, empty
of everything save chill formality,
have larger possibilities behind them
than we are wont to imagine. AT any
rate, to believe So honestly and con
scientiously, is an indication of an ac-
tive faith, and is far wholesomer than
the suspicious that do their utmost TO
master u.s. 1t is only through this be-
lief that we shall bring ourselves in
contact with some of the finest issues
of life and come to understand the
unities and harmonies of existence.
Nevertheless, II is we'll to bear in
mind the important fact that man is
not our only friend and neighbor.
Neither patience nor investigation is
necessary to the discovery that all
things about us are capable of invit-
ing neighborliness and dispensing IL
TO those who are wise enough to take
advantage of the hospitality that is
constantly proffered. The towering
trees Though they do not seem to
tower as high as they did when we
were younger), the humble creeping
vines. the delicate flowers that spring
up in night, casual and ravishing,
the whole movement and rush of ma
ture in her vigorous and insstent
moods, belong TO neighborlness in the
most significant and satisfactory
sense. 1t is something of relief to
discover that we need not depend en-
tirely on man for companionship-
though beyond all doubt the best of
his kind are to be treasured in what
ever relation or condition they are
found-The late Joel Chandler Harris

FOUND TREASURE IN CELLAR.
Shoemakers May Have Discovered
Hoard Hidden by Monks.

A curious story is going the rounds
at Limoges, France and has come to
light through an anonymous letter an
nouncing certain alleged facts to the
police authorities. It is asserted that
In 1901 two shoemakers named Valette
and Tricard, while effecting some re-
pairs to the cellar of the house they
occupied, discovered treasure con-
sisting OF sum of money and numer-
Gus valuable books.
The particular part of Limoges
where the residence of the shoemakers
was situated stands on the site of an
ancient monastery, and II Is thought
that the treasure found may have
been hidden by the monks. Just what
truth there is In the reported discov-
cry is not yet known. but II is as
serted that the two shoemakers, who
were previously konwn to be In
straitened circumstances, have of re-
cent years lived on a quite different
footing and have been able to pur-
chase numerous house properties in
the district.
Their landlord Is now taking pro-
ceedings with view Of testing the
accuracy Of the local gossip and Of
claiming the treasure or at least q
part Of 1t.

ALWAYS REDEEM CLASS RINGS.
Custom of Naval Service Had Its
Origin In Esprit de Corps.

A naval officer and a friend were
strolling down Broadway one after
noon recently. The former glanced
in at a pawnshop window and sud
denly stopped. "Hello!" he exclaimed;
there is naval academy class ring"
He went into the shop and asked to
see the ring. There could be no
doubt about 1t, 1t was ring belong
ing to member of class which
graduated some years ago. The Off
Ger bought the ring and put it in his
pocket.
why, what can you want with that
ring?" asked his friend; 'is its owner
a particular friend of yours?"
The officer said he was not and
then explained that it had always
been a custom of the naval service for
any naval officer to redeem a naval
academy class ring whenever he saw
one and send it back to its owner,
who, of course, makes good the loan
at his earliest convenience.
THAT is why" said the officer, smil-
ingly, "pawnshop keepers are always
anxious to lend money on our class
rings. and that is also one reason why
a naval officer will never pawn his
class ring until the worst comes to
the worst"

TRAGEDIES OF MONTE CARLO.
Point to Time for Supervision Of Eu-
ropean Plague Spot.

Under the headline Seven More" a
French newspaper recently published
the following from Monte Carlo cor
respondent: There is a slight re-
duction in the number of suicides for
the current week. OF the seven I'M
happy ones whom the bandits of
Monte Carlo have hurried to their
death after first robbing them, four
have hanged themselves in the gar
den and one has hanged himself In his
room at the Hotel de Paris. This last
one was cut down, nearly dead and
taken to the hospital at Monaco, where
he is being cared for in the greatest
secrecy.
"A woman also has poisoned herself
at Monaco, only few steps from the
museum that was raised TO his own
glory by Albert /. Still another, a
young man 80 years of age, shot him
self dead on Monday evening at nine
o'clock on one of the benches front
ing the great staircase of the Casino.
And yet, among the statesmen who
meet regularly at The Hague to com
bat the scourge Of war, not single
delegate has yet dreamed OF suggest
ing the suppression of the slaughter

Medina, the Holy City, which has

over all the rivals in various parts of
the world which bore the same name.

among them were the old capital of
Malta and Medina Sidonia In Spain,
which gave his title to the Armada

Mohammedan, as to a good Londoner,

Why GAG" WAS NOT WORKED.
Proposed Addition by Dixey Didn't
Meet Stars Approval.

Henry E. Dixey, at a dinner in New
York, talked about gagging-about the
ability, reasonably common among
actors, of introducing impromptu jokes
into a part.
Nearly all of us can gag" said Mr..
Dlxey. Usually though, the gagging
is OF a selfish nature. I'll explain to
you what | mean.

man, in the third act, | write a letter
Whlle you stand beside me and wait

but you will sect will bring down
the house.
Il laughed harshly.
Capital | said. And I'll finish the
thing off with a little gag of my own.
AS soon as you have wiped your pen
on my nice collar, I'll wheel round and
knock you down. OF course it will
hurt you a little, but you'll sect will
be the hit of the show"

DEALS IN STOCK AND STOCKS.
According to This, There Are Many
Points Of Similarity.

my vacation on my cousins farm
taught me thing or two" said a
broker. In selling stock no less than
in selling stocks. there are tricks to
be learned.
my cousin tipped COW one after
noon. To jip COW is to paint her I'D
der with Venetian red. That gives to
the stalest and most withered udder a
fresh. firm look of youth.
"She was an old cow, and, besides
Tipping her, my cousin filed four or
five Of the wrinkles off her horns.
Since a wrinkle means year, this
rejuvenated the old COW as few beauty
treatments rejuvenate a woman.
my uncle brushed the old COW;
then he sponged her with salt and
water, the salt causing her to lick
her coat into a fine, sleek brilliance.
Finally, for a whole day, he didn't
milk her. In consequence her shrunken
udder that yielded quart or two a
milking, ballooned out like the udder
of blue ribbon Jersey.
THE old COW, at the fair next day,
with her shining coat, her filed horns
and her painted udder, took every
bodys eye. She brought the price Of
young COW. Stock and stocks, 1t
struck me, are good deal similar"
