Never Forsake a Friend.

Whatever happens, never forsake
a friend. When enemies gather,
when sickness falls upon the heart.
when the world is dark and cheer
lass. is the time to try true friend
chip. They who turn from the
scenes of distress beiray their hy-
poorisy and prove that interest
only maves them IL you have q
friend who loves you, who has
studied your interest and happi-
ness, be sure to retain him in adj
yersity. Let him feel that HE love
was not thrown5aHay. Real fideI-
ity may be rare, but it exists in the
heart. They only deny it's worth
and power who never loved a
friend or labored to make friend
happy.

HOLD OUT.

The Hampshire Review recalls
that in 1896 there was e sign over
che entrance to coal mine in the
Second district, reading: "Killed
by the Wilson Bill" It charges
that there are now scores of coal
mines in that district, which are
dead, but there are no signs or
epitaphs to record their history
under the Dingley bill or to name
the malady which exterminated
them 80 suddenly. The Review
sug gests that appropriate epitephs
be forthcoming which will be as
truthful in the light of history, as
the 1896 epitaph was pnt in NAL
icious appeal to prejudice and
time-serving. The politician was
in the year 1896 and.
money and power combined to
FiTnprsss upon the people that the
panic then in full ewing, was
chargeable to the Wilson bill. 1t
is hard on those came politicians
to find themselves now in a worse
panic and we gladly offer the Re
view the following as an appro-
pirate epitaph for the "dead" coal
mines:
God sent good crops and tons of gold,
To scare the wolf away;
He babe me come to life again,
And live to work my way.
In luxury turned from him
And thanked the Dingley god;
Now, am back whore was found
Beneath the self-same sod.
When God shall smile, with crops and
gold
And give me life again
I'll magnify His holy name
Instead of thanking men.

But kills in nineteen seven,

The Review insists that, "Kill-
ed by the fear of Bryan's elect
ion" would be appropriate. Yes,
or "Talked to death by man"
would impress many mothers-in-
law with the evidence of a sincere
desire to do them tardy justice
Che following lie handed in late:
j sickened under the Mckinley
bill; was pronounced dead under
the Wilson bill; revived for a
time, but sank lower than ever,
under the Dingley bill and when
the Hepburn bill and Roosevelt
struck me at ithe same time, /
succumbed." We insist that the
press come to the relief of the
owner of that coal mine and help
him to pay proper respect to its
remains by proposing appropri-
ate epi-"Tafts."
