He lacked the imagination to see
all the thousands and tens of thous-

his day, some of them for good and
some for evil, but all telling a story
of progress of one sort or another.
Probably in this he did not differ
from most of his fellowmen in his

The Test of Friendship

Loyalty is not blind adherence; II
is clear sighted devotion to the high.
est interest OF friend 1t will not
hesitate to oppose an unwlse plan, to
tear away the bandage which closes
the eyes to unwelcome truth; it will
bear misunderstanding and leopard
lie loss of friendship, if these are the
price of loyalty to the highest inter-
ests of a friend.
For friendship can have no sure
foundation save the frankness of alb
solute truth, and loyalty no aim save
service to the highest nature of a
friend. Our friends are not those
who are silent when we make mis-
takes or flatter us when we do less
than our best; they are those "who
make US do what we can"
Such a friend is not only delight
full companion by the way, but fell
low traveller who makes the goal
clear when fatigue and doubt cloud
the vision, and resolutelY urges us on
ward when we are tempted to falter
in the quest; and such friendship is
the highest expression of integrity;
it is noble form of service to the

he thought of it as the mysterious

That it could be harnessed to do

him.
He had never heard the clicking of

would have seemed as wonderful to
him as a voyage to the moon. Mo-

him of black art and the idea that a
machine could be invented whereby
man would fly above the clouds like
a bird, ascending and descending at

merely absurd.
The modern printing press, the
linotype machine, which seems al
most to think, the X-ray by means
of which surgeons may diagnose dis
ease and injury and lay out their
work with scientific certainty, these
things were yet to be invented long
after he was dead. He could not

Thought Everything
Had Been Invented

Someone porting over the old files
in the United States patent Office at
Washington the other day found a
letter written in 1888 that illustrates
the limitations of the human imagin-
alton.
1t was from an employe of the pat
emit office, Offering his resignation to
the head of the department. His
reason was that as everything invent
able had been invented, the patent
office would soon be discontinued and
there would be no further need for
his services or the services of any of
his fellow clerks. He therefore de-
cided to leave before the blow fell.
Everything inevitable had been in
vented! The writer of this letter
journeyed in stagecoach or a canal
boat. He had never seen limited
train or an ocean greyhound. He
read at night by candle light if he
read at all in the evening; more like
ly he went to bed soon after dark and
did all his reading by daylight. He

A gate between two rooms has
proved a blessing to one mother. 1t
Is fastened in the doorway between
the nursery and mothers room. There
are times when the mother likes to
watch the children without being right

may be done more easily with the
