RIVAL DETECTIVES.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once had
an amusing experience with cab
man in Paris. The author had Just
arrived at the French capital and, to
his great surprise, the cabman who
drove him from the station to his
hotel addressed him by name. Sir
Arthur asked the man how he knew
who he was. "Oh," replied the cab
man, II read in the newspapers that
the famous Conan Doyle would come
to Paris from Marseilles and Lyons,
and directly | saw you | observed that
your hair had been cut by a Mar
settles barber, and that on the heel Of
your left shoe there is mud from
Lyons" Sir Arthur was highly fiat
tered and gratifed to think that an
ordinary cabman was so intimate with
his famous detective stories that he
could apply the methods Of their cen
trail character to the facts Of every
day life. care those the only signs
by which you recognized who | ami"

FRIENDSHIP.

"In friendship says Seneca,
"there must be no reserve; as much
deliberation as you please before the
league is struck, but no doubtings nor
jealousies after. It requires
time to consider a friendship, but the
resolution once taken entities him to
my very heart The purpose
Of friendship is to have one dearer to
me than myself, and for the saving
of whose life l would gladly lay
down my own, taking with me the
consciousness that only the wise can
be friends; others are mere COM
panions."
"The WISE" of course, are also the
virtuous, for there is no such fool as
he who knows not enough to be hon
orable.
The ancients knew little Of the ro-
mantle attachment between the sexes,
except in its franker and less spirit
ual forms, and as the stuff that
"dreams are made on" by poets; of
their lives is was "a thing apart. ;"
But they particularly the Greeks
were rich in friendship, where in we
are "poor indeed" however we'll

of medieval chivalry called Glove"
Few of us know friendship, for few
are wise, and few Of the wise know
one another.
When you say, my friend
Brown or, Brown is a good friend
of mine,' you are not understood to
mean that Brown would give his life
to save yours, nor that you have
chosen him after "much delibera-
tion," or chosen him at all. You may
mean that you and he came over on
the same steamer, or that you met
him at the club and he has not yet
swindled you.
Ones friendship should be one IS
attestation of the merit of him upon
whom it is bestowed, credentialing
him as an honorable man. IF my
favor does not carry this commenda-
ton it is good for nothing but to
serve personal and transient graft
fication. 1t is so cheap a thing that
the having it is no warrant Of worth
IN the possessor, but rather the con-
trary; for what is easy to acquire is
sure to be widely shared, and there is
a strong numerical presumption
against the merit Of the recipient. If
the word " friend'' meant anything
today one would shudder to think who
might be speaking it of him.
Let no one glory in ga wide circle
of friends such as is affirmed of
persons newly dead. No one has a
wide circle of friends, nor even mar
row one, he least Of all who is most
popular" How many of ones COM
panions who call themselves ones
friends would sustain Seneca s test?
Does any reader of these lines know
one who would lay down his life for
him? If SO he is indeed one of the
wise and there is another. -Ambrose

THOS. E. WATSON AND THE
PREACHERS.

Tom Watson, the great Georgia

foreign missionary question. Tom is
right in everything he says along this
line, and he is generally right on
nearly every issue of the times. |
say this because he deserves it. He
Is making a great fight for humanity.
He is honest and perfectly sincere,
and he deserves much Of the common
herd. He loves the common people,
and is constantly poking into the
eyes of their enemies.
Go it, Tom, until they stop drain
ing the money from this country to
send adventurers to China, India,
Africa and other heather countries,
in an endeavor to enlighten these
people, who are happy in their ig-
nOrance.
Ignorance is bliss with them. For
every one who accepts the religious
views Of the sectarian who pulls him
iii, a hundred refuse to accept, and,
according to the creedists themselves,
their responsibility is increased
many times over, and it but sinks
them that much deeper in an or
thodox hell.
But the worst feature Of it is, we
need the money to enlighten the
hordes Of ignorant foreigners coming
to this country every day in the year.
We need it to feed the poor Ameri
cans who are oppressed by predatory
wealth There are thousands Of our
own people who need bread and meat
much more than they need preach
ing. When men and women have
to stand in the bread line in our
large cities and beg for a loaf of
dry bread, don't tell me we should
send money to other countries to tell
the benighted souls the difference be-
tween sprinkling and immersion IN
water. Or whether man is pun
is1ed always or annihilated at the
hands of his Maker,

element in his fight with the cloth,
