Ma and the Motor Car.

Before we take a motor ride Pa says
to Ma, My dear,
Now just remember don't need
assistance from the rear:
If you will just keep still back there
and hold in check your fright
I'll take you where you want to 90
and get you back all right.
Remember that my hearings good
and also TN not blind,
And | can drive this car without
suggestions from behind"
Ma promises that she'll keep still,
then off we gayly start,
But soon she notices ahead a ped
dler and his cart.
You'd better toot your horn," says
she let him know we're near,
He might turn out" and Pa replies:
Just shrek at him, my dear"
And then he adds: Some day some
guy will make lot of dough
BY putting horns on tonneau seats
for women folks to blow"
A little further on Ma says: He
signaled for a turn"
And Pa says. Did he?" in a tone
that's hot enough to burn.
"Ch. there's boy on roller skates"
Ma cries, now do 90 slow.
I'm sure he doesn't see our car"
And Pa says: Il dunno;
l think l don't need glasses vet, but
really it may be
That l am blind an cannot see
what's right in front of me"
If Pa should speed the car a bit
some rigs to hurry past.
Ma says: Nov do be careful! You
are driving much too fast"
And all the time. she's pointing out
the dangers of the street
An keeps him posted on the roads
where street cars he will meet
Last night when we got safely home
Pa sighed an said: My dear,
I'm sure we've all enjoyed the drive
you gave US from the rear"

The Friend.

A friend is a person who is for
you" always, under any suspicious.
He never investigates you.
When charges are made against
you ne does not ask proof. He asks
the accuser to clear out.
He likes you just as you are. He
does not want to altar you.
Whatever kind of coat you are
wearing suits him. Whether you
have on a dress suit or a hickory
shirt. with no collar, he thinks it's
fine.
He likes your moods and enjoys
your pessimism as we'll as your op-
timism.
He likes your success. And your
failures endear you to him the
more.
He is better than a lover. because
he is never jealous.
He wants nothing from you ex-
cept that you be yourself.
He is the one being with whom
you can feel safe. With him you
can utter your heart, its badness
and its goodness. You don't have
to be careful. In his presence you
can be indiscreet. which means
you can rest.
There are many faithful wives
and husbands; there are but few
faithful friends.
Friendship is the most admirable,
amazing and rare article among
human beings.
Anybody may stand by you when
you are right; a friend stands by
you even when you are wrong.
The highest known form of friend
ship is that of the dog to his mas
ter
You are lucky if you can find one
man or one woman on earth who
has that kind Of affection for you
and fidelity to you.
Like the shade of great tree in
the noon day heat is a friend
Like the home port, with your
country's flag flying. after long
journeys is a friend.

Quicksilver in Bread Locates
Drowned Boy.

Portland. Ore Mrs. Elizabeth
Price threw loaf of bread with
some quicksilver and "a dime in it
in the Willamette River at the east
end of the Broadway Bridge yester-
day to try and locate the body of
her nephew, Edward Price, s years
old, who was drowned there last
Tuesday afternoon,
The bread floated but a short
time and came to a rest under a
dock near a. boathouse. Ten min
utes later, Andrew Elliott, who was
searching for the body found it in a
few feet of water directly under the
bread.
The theory that a loaf of bread in
which few drops of quicksilver
are placed. will locate the body of
a drowned person is very old.

A friend is an improbable cita-
del of refuge in the strife of exist
ence.
II is he that keeps alive your
faith in human nature, that makes
you believe it is a good universe.
He is the anidote to despair, the
elixir of hope, the tonic for depres-
sion, the medicine to cure suicide.
When you are vigorous and spir-
tied you like to take your pleasure
with him; when you are in trouble
you want to tell him; when you are
sick you want to see him; when
you are dying you want him near
You give to him without reluct-
ance and borrow from him without
embarrassment.
If you can live fifty years and
find one absolute friend, you are
fortunate. For Of the thousands Of
human creatures that crawl the
earth. few are of such stuff as
friends are made. Mystic Worker

Rules For Daily Life.

Begin the day with God:
Kneel down to him in prayer;
Lift up thy voice to his abode,
And seek his love to share.
Go through the day with God,
What'er thy work may be;
Where'er thou art at home. abroad
He still is near to thee.
Conclude the day with God;
Thy sins to Him confess;
Trust in.the Lords atoning blood,
And plead His righteousness.
Lie down at night with God,
Who gives his servants sleep;
And when thou treadist the vale of
death
He will thee guard and keep.

Sentiment and Sentimentality.

Sentiment and Sentimentality.
Hit the ball hard for sentiment"
says the editor of the Trenton,
Michigan, Times, and in this touches
the keynote of all that is dreamed
and done to make the world
progress. Sentiment is the dis
position prompting to action or
expression. 1t is the antithesis of
sentimentality. which is the affect
alton of fine feeling. Sentiment is a
feeling for a person or thing which
prompts to action. 1t does more
than that it urges.it forces action.
Low of country. of parents or of
children have been the motives be-
hind all the great works of art. of
invention. of great sacrifices and
the building of great enterprises.
Appeal to sentiment is a cry to the
highest emotion. Through it news
papers build up large calculations,
families are brought together, towns
are formed and nations welded in
an indissolubie bond. How greatly
do those works of passion appeal,
in which the actual is told with the
spark of truth and nature! How do
those dramas of life grip our souls
when the suffering or the love or
the struggle of character against
character are laid before US in such
a way as to be real. Through senti
ment entire strangers are knit in an
enduring friendship. Great orators,
appealing to our sentiment. lead US
on to almost impossible tasks. 1t is
only when we depart from true
sentiment into the realms of the
sentimental that we 90 back. Thus
the demagogue work, whose oratiOns
are aimee at a passing feeling-an
emotion that does not nor cannot
last. A whole state or nation may
be swept by political movements
which are not based on truth and
flare up and die unmourned and
dlscredited Every movement should
have the test of sentiment applied
to it. If selfishness, money. making,
untruth is shown in the reaction, it
should be condemned positively
and finally.
