Disappointed Friendship.
In tlse matter Of friendship I have
observed It disappointment arises
chiefly not from liking our friends too
we'll or thinking of them too highly.
but rather from an overestimate of
their liking for and opinion of us. and
that if we guard ourselves with suffi-
cient scrupulousness of care from err
cor in that direction and can be con-
tent and even happy to give more af-
lection than we receive we may man
age to go through life with consistency
and constancy. unimbittered by that
misanthropy which springs from revul-
sions Of feeling.-Charlotte Bronte.
His Pleasant Expression.
Discussing the training of dogs at
recent club meeting an authority on
CANNES said: Yes. training is an art.
The simplest appearing Of canine per-
formances is. properly understood,
difficult thing. 1t looks easy. but 1t is
hard, and thus 1t is like the man at the
photographers. This man. sitting for

Suspicious.
In these days of competition, bust
ness doubts and suspicious are largely
carried into private life, as a well
known lawyer found to his cost. He
said sadly to his wife on his return
home one night:
people seem very suspicious Of me.
You know old Macy? Well, l did
some work for him last month, and
when he asked me for an account this
morning l told him out Of friendship
that l wouldn't charge him anything.
He thanked me cordially, but limited
that he'd like receipt all the same"
Her Record as Nurse.
The principal physician in the town
was one day hurriedly called to the
minister's house and, finding the min
lister seriously i'll, recommended the
services of trained nurse. The min
ister's wife believed that she was fully

year ago and you never returned it"
"That was odd"
"What was oddY
"Dollar No. L."
"What of it?"
"Wel. this is dollar No. 2; that
makes it even. Savvy?"
What's Geography Good For?
This is from the philosophy of
mother who berated a teacher In the
Nixon school for not promoting her
daughter because the latter was def
cient in geography.
"Teacher, you don't know it all,
guess" said the irate matron. Il wish
1t that my daughter gets through school
so she gets man. Never mind about
the geography. Just promote her with
out 1t.
"Why, my other daughter, she didn't
know geography, and she got man.
