FRIENDSHIPS

All of us sooner or later are to
venture out into the great wide
world and take our place there as
men among men. AS we reach our
destination and stand ready to take
up the work that is ordained for us,
we are on the threshold of new
life, rich in hope, full of promise
and glowing with beautiful posi-
bilities.
1t is to be time of peculiar
temptation as we'll as of golden
promise. From time to time the
desire to return to the old life, the
longing for the old associations will
return, and as to whether or not
they predominant will be due in a
great measure to the friendships
that we form. Our danger will be
the impulse to rush too hastily in
to friendships begun through sheer
loneliness and fostered by the emo
tional atmosphere that will present
itself.
No product of our younger years
is sweeter or more valuable than
their friendships. They come into
existance at this time when the
mind is most impressionable, and
before tie rough contact with the
world has rubbed the bloom from
the ideals that we have formed here
and in many of them will last
through life.
But fine and true friendship is
rarely the outcome of impulse. 1t
does not grow up in a day or week
and almost never begins merely as
stop gap" 1t is the fruit of
showers as well as of sunshine, of
self control no less than Of sym.
pathy, of high vision, but also of
the clear vision that scorns fattery
and demands truth as the indispens-
able atmosphere and condition of
It's life.
For such friendship we mus.
walt aud work and when we have
found 1t we must hold it under a
rule of stern and spiritual laws.
But it is worth it.
AS we stand at the doorway OF
our character forming years of life
let us test ourselves as well as 9TH
ers and let us not be unwilling to
wait. Real friendships are not
found on the bargain counter Ex

CLIPPINGS AND COMMENT
BY BUCK

journalism will not become a
profession, because everybody
knows how to run a newspaper
Sioux City Journal.
People, evidently then, don't be-
lieve in Horace Greeley's idea of
making a good newspaper man. His
idea of educating boy or young
man to become good editor. was
to sleep on the stone and eat can
of news ink three times day.
A great cruelty has been perpe-
trated on prisoner by the British
government. He was removed from
one prison to another, and at his
second abode was not allowed to
keep his pet mice. When he part
ed with them strong men turned
away their heads, so affecting was
the scene. And the prison COM
missioner who witnessed it promised
him that he would see that the mice
were taken care of, and is said to
have been as good as his word

in to visit me occasionally. The
other night he came into my cell
right after second-smoke time, and
after running around for while to
see if everything was all right, ne
sat up on his hind feet near the

were saying: Don't you wish you
were me?' and out he popped
through the bars and scooted down

Making wild animals live forever"
Mr.. Plat? Very well; but why not
continue our search for that elixir
of life SO that us humans should
thus be enabled to do likewise?

tions, after all.
One of a number of things | like
to remember about the late Honor
able Cecil Rhodes, the famous
South African, is the legacy he left
toward the founding of those Ok
ford scholarships, and which were
to be left open to the young men of
all nations. To my way of think
ing, such an act instances the both
broad and benevolent mind If this
Builder Of Empires" as one of his
biographers has called him. And if
an epitaph of enduring proportions
were to be chosen, nothing it seems
to me, could so well emphasize the
mark as the significant Builder of
Empires!" Good words to COM
memorate his memory.
The why of there being so much
discussion within the ranks, is be-
cause there are too many ranks.

What a wealth Of romance there
was, is, must be round about those
old Spanish missions of California.
1t is said that some of the most
beautiful roses in the world cluster
close about these old cloistered
abodes of the early Spanish padres,
and that for fair womanhood, Cali
fornia is excelled by no other one
spot on the face of the globe. Per-
haps it is because the richest and
rarest of roses are a combination of
such deep, yet mellowed duskiness
and such rare, lustrous red, red as
roses should be, and that the infu-
sion of the finest Spanish or Latin
blood with the fairer Saxon strain,
could not but produce the supreme
beauty common to California wo-
men. At any rate we note that the
daughter, descendant from long
line of Spanish grandees, and indi-
rectly of Saxon origin, has won out
as CALIFORNIA; most beautiful wo-
man.

out the animal cages in the park

told them that they were not to en-
ter into any argument with the visi-

be handed to them, and they agreed
to the terms. A few days after they
were cleaning out a cage when a
gent and some lady friends hap
pened to pass the cage Pat and
Mike were in; the gent stopped
and motioned to the ladies to come
close to the cage and said: Now
here is a rare specimen of the ami

small movable miles are being
placed in various parts of the
county and the board has just

The board is advocating the filing

We are overwhelmingly in favor

be permanent roads, that will en-
