WITHOUT A TRUE FRIEND.
Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That hath not here dts end"

! MANY a man is exceedingly popular,
at his clubs or among his male friends,
but his friendships end there he IS
not Just the man his fellows take to
their hresides. He may be too hand
some to suit the notions of one, too
dressy and too much of a ladykiller to
lsuit another; have too much faScfna-
/ ton about him to please for still a
third whose wife is younger and gayer
than himself. He chats with this one
and that one over his cigars. They
pat him on the back and tell him ne s
an excellent fellow.
It is not until some serious nisfor-
tune attacks him that he discovesr he
is alone and friendless. He slips on an
icy pavement. He is asked if he has
friends he would ILL to go to. There
is not one among the many he cElum-
med with upon whom he can depend.
He is taken to hospital. He feels
sure there are many who will miss
him; make inquiries about him, search
him out and come to him. But as
the long days and weeks drag their
slow lengths by not one Of the many
upon whom he showered his wealth
takes the trouble to locate him and
brighten his weary hours with their
presence.
No matter how much wealth a man
may have he finds the golden eagles
he jingIes in his pocket or the bank,
pathizers. They would do just as well
by any other hand which they fell
into.
Tt takes an experience Of this kind
to show a man the need of at least
one true friend that can be touched
by pity in his heart for him instead
of by cash. When once this need has
forced itself upon him, the yearning
comes suddenly to him for a wife and
home to anchor his lonely life bark to.
In the face of all this, people often
wonder why. the handsome cIubman
and bachelor whom every one sup
marries some plain. unpretentious lit
tie woman and makes her a jewel of
husband.
1t is this sense of loneliness, too,
which drives the widower to loves
arena which he enters to gather fresh
laurels to plant in his heart. Who
should say him. nay? For it is hope
and love that. make life worth the
living when he feels as the poet de-
seribesl
Like some lone bird without mate,
My lonely heart is desolate.
= look around and cannot trace
Hone friendly smile, one welcome face
Even in crowds I'm still aIone''
Every life should have its friend
ships, holy and sweet. They will not
last from the beginning to life's end
but they will brighten life's path for
a little way as we along, Next to
love, there's nothing so satisfying as
friendship, the knowledge that we have
at least one true friend to call on in
time of need.

MILITARY SERVICE
AND BUSINESS,

When discussion began about the
means by which the United States
army could be strengthened, it was at
once recognized that perhaps the
greatest obstacle in the way lies in the
diff1culty of adjusting the demands of
military training to business life. En-
ployers ARE loatht to let their young
men absent themselves from work to
attend military camps Young men
are fearful that such absences would
be an obstacle in the way of their
business success.
However, the young man who takes
course Of training with a militia
organization, or should take one with
the proposed Continental army, would
learn many things not taught in BUSH
ness offices. If he deVotes himself to
military work with energy and zeal.
he should in due course OF time at
tain some promotion, where he would
be placed in command of small
squad of men. He would then get
practice in a very valuable art, that
of commanding men.
Many boys are sent to expensive
military schools and colleges for cost
ly courses, largely to acquire just this
valuable gift. The ability to direct
a body of men, command their respect,
| enforce prompt obedience and discip-
| line. is a superb training in leader
ship. It develops self confidence,

to any military command or not, he
| would find military service reWarding.
The outdoor life would give him
physical vigor. The leadership of

mentally stimulating. He would form

To make military work popular
with the business community, en-
campments must be strictly conducted.

and other vices must be strictly ban

life has been wholesome in all re-

THE SECRET OF THE SEA

Who knews the mighty secret,
The secret of the sea !?
love it's beauty passing well,
I love the thunder of its swell.
love the glory of it's play,
The glitter of its feathery spray,
But it's secret is hid from me.
Who has the might secret?
Never a mortal knows
BY the shells alone is the riddle read,
As they lie deep down in their coral
bed,
In the depths of the seaweed forest
brown,
Where the August sunshine quivers
And the great tide comes and goes.
They know the mighty secret.
They are cast upon the sand;
We gather them up from the creamy
foam,
we bear them away to our island
home,
AS relics of happy seaside days,
We bear them to dwell where the
soft breeze plays
over the flowery land,
They know the mighty secret;
We hold them to our ear.
We hear the mystical sound again,
We hear the voice of the restless
main,
We know the long monotonous roar,
AS the pillows break on the rugged
shore;
But that is all we hear.
