THE REAL TREASURE.

''Poor, indeed, is he who has no
friends. Love is an exclusive senti-
ment and sometimes an exciting one.
It is through our friends that much
of our happiness comes" says the Mil
waukee Journal ga true friend is to
be appreciated and treasured. Friend
ships bond is one not to be lightly
broken. To have friends, we must be
friends. The real friend does not
easily take offense. Openness brings
friends closer together in thought and
feeling. There must be confidence and
it must never be betrayed. To sus-
pect a friend is worse than to be de-
ceived by him, said La Rochefou-
cauId. If, when offense is given, one
does not give way to impatience, but
gives ample opportunity for eXplana-
ton or excuse it will often be found
that there is no real grievance. Have
forgiveness ready in the heart-a
complete forgiveness which puts an
ger so far away that it Is soon for
gotten No human being is perfect
and forgiveness ennObles the char
acter. If you have one true friend,
be grateful and kind and hold him to
you with hoops of steel Cultivate
friendships by being kind, helpful and
considerable. And remember Friend
ship is plant that must frequently
be Watered."

MANS BEST FRIEND.

The best friend a man has may turn
against him and become his enemy.
His son or his daughter whom he has
reared with loving care may prove
ungrateful. Those nearest and dear
est to US, those whom we trust with
our happiness and good name, be-
come traitors to their faith.
The money a man has he may lose.
It flies away from him when perhaps
ton may be sacrificed in a moment
OF ill-considered action. The people
who fall upon their knees to do us
honor when success is with us may
be the first to reject us when fail
ure's clouds settle upon our brow.
1.-THE only absolutely unseIfish
friend a man can have in this world,
the one that never deserts him, never
proves ungrateful, is his dog. A mans
dog stands by him in prosperity and
in poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground
where the winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, if only he may be near
his masters side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer. He
guards the sheep of his pauper mast
ter as if he were a prince.
when riches take wings and repu-
tation falls to pieces, he is as con-
slant in his love as the sun in it's
journey through the heavens. If for
tune drives the master forth, an out
cast, friendIess and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him, to
guard him against danger, to fight
against his enemies. And when the
last scene Of all comes, anu his body
is laid away in the grave, no matter
if all other friends pursue their way
there will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad
but open in alert watchfulmsss, faith
fuE unto death.-Selected.

NEEDS NO PITY.
(Boscobel Dial-Enterprise.)

(Boscobel Dial-Enterprise.)
Don't pity the country editor.
He is as cOntented as a COW puffed
up by eating too many rose gerani-
ums.
Pray for the spindle-shanked gaz-
aboo that is living the strenuous life
in the metropolis. He needs it.
Don't lose sleep over the RUDE
who edits your home paper. He may
not know a panegyric from a misfit
formula for making apple butter, but
he knows a hypocrite when he sees
one, and dares call him so to his face.
He probably eats with knife and
wears undershirts with slivers in 'em,
but no domineering managing editor
can make him eat dirt.
To be poked fun at by the city
brother when his paper announces to
the world in flourish Of long primer
that "Si' Green's choicest bull calf
choked itself to death on a "baga,"
doesn't ruff1e him a particle, for he
rests assured in the consciousness
that it will please "Si'' and doesn't
hurt the city chap, who wouldn't
know a rutabaga from Greek god.

FISHING TIME.

The fish are frequent in the brook,

a PUNK will be my catch. And I'll
be spotted DER with sores, where all
the insects out of doors got in their
work with drills and stings and teeth
and other redhot things. And I'll be
sunburned, l suppose, until the bark
peels off my nose, and I'll be coated
thick with mud, from falling in the
Ibabbling brook. I'll be a ruin of the
jay who in the morning went away
all blithe and gay and joyous-eyed,
Apollo in his pomp and pride.

PLEASURE: TWO KINDS.

"There are two sorts Of enjoyment:
one, that of yielding; the other, that
of overcoming And it is the over
conner who gets the crown of life. His
is the morning STAR write DR.. Crane.
For instance, there is pleasure in
lying in bed, in eating and drinking,
in gratifying the various cravings of
the body, in reading books that divert
you and require no mental effort, in
going to the theater, in being f1attered,
praised, complimentel, loved. In all
these things your pleasure is passive.
There is pleasure, on the other
hand, in exercise, in going without
food and drink for anOther's sake, in
denying the body's demands so as to
satisfy the wants of your intelligence,
of pleasing your conscience by tramp
ling on an appetite of intellectual ex-
ertion, Of discipline and the like.
"All of these are the soldier kind Of
joys. They are better than the soft
kind, because they last longer, they
strengthen your mind and body, they
make your tastes finer, your whole en-
joyment of life keener, your range Of
delights wider, and altogether you
get great deal more fun out of liv-
ing.
'The latter joys are just as selfish
as the former. But an intelligent sell
fishness is unselfish. He that saveth
his life shall lose it."

WHAT A "HIGH BROW" is.
New York Herald.)


DR.. Brander mathews has rendered
a genuine service to the cause of en-
lightenment by defining a thigh brow
in such succinctly vivid terms that it
will hereafter be easy to recognize
one on sight. He describes him as "a
person who has an habituaI attitude
of contempt toward that which is pop
uIar, and also as a person who, gen.
orally, is educated beyond his intell1-
gence." DR.. Mathews says also that
the high brow would be a menace to
dramatic art were not that art so great
that he is powerless to injure it, and
in the same breath he reminds us that
Gin all the arts the really good things,
the vital things, have always been
popular" This, of course, does not
mean that everything that is popular
is vital and good.
Thus does this linguaE pundit nail
the hide of the thigh brow to the
barn door of Columbia college, that
it may serve as a warning to others of
the species. No longer VIII the term
signify ore whose head is shaped diff
ferently from that of an ape, but rath-
er an intellectual Pharisee who deems
his taste better than that OF his fellow
man. 1t is even possible that the
phrase q mere box Office success"
will cease to, be one of the disparage-
ments and come into it's true meaning
"a play that veryone-banker, col
IEge professor, newsboy-is anxious to
see.

All rules fail in dry weather, but the safest
advice is to take things easy. If business is dull
don't worry about it, for your business expert
ence has taught you that dull spells must be
expected occasionally and things will whoop
later on. If you must drink, be moderate about
it, and shun hard liquor as you would pest.
Adopt vegetable diet. Wear your old clothes,
90 fishing if you can, and throw your collar and
tie away. Keep happy and you will keep cool.

Carmen Friday.

On Friday evening the high school
gymnasium will be packed to capacity
if the present ticket sale is any cri-

school, the occasion being the pre-
sentation of the opera Carmen" by
the high school music department.
There are over seventy-five voices in
the cast, which has been practicing
hard and faithfully for months. Spec
ial scenery has been constructed by
the manual training department. The
art department has assisted with the
scenery painting and has furnished
the artistic posters which are dis
played in show windows around the
city, and some of which have caused
no little comment as being evidences
of exceptional talent. The costumes
are elaborate and effects spectacular.
Although the opera may seem rather
ambitious for high school voices,
special arrangements have been Sc
cured and the event is going to be
well worth hearing and seeing.
