Expecting too Much

Most people expect too much of
friends.
No one has ever done a great deal
for me. I may have expected a great
of friends long ago, but do not
now. l have not only learned that
if l expect a great deal of them, l
will be disappointed; I have learned
that have no right to expect it.
If ever impose on friends they
may be sure | experience great
shame and humility, as l deserve.
If you have anything undesirable
to sell, and apply first to friends.
that is meanness, and they will no.
tice it. If you criticise friends ST.
verely, it usually means you have
been expecting too much Of them.
And [ have my share of good
friends, and appreciate them as sim
cerely as ever a man did. You
would be ashamed to impose on
anyone so generous as to be fond of
you; expect no more Of friend
than you give. Impose on friends,
and you will lose them; that is hu-
man nature, and we will never be
able to rise above human nature.
Friends are like pleasant park
where you wish TO go; while you
may enjoy the flowers, you must
not cut them.-Ex.

gentling and giving down have
made her cowlike, until she is in
danger of forever losing he horns.
She is not in any danger of forget
ting how to use horns, however.

On one occasion, narrowly escap-
ed with my life from the kindest of
old cows, one which | had been
driving to the meadows all summer.
Her newborn calf was the trouble.
She had hidden it among the NAL
lows. stationed herself near by and
waited for me, as thousand years
before she had waited for the wolf
or the bear. Her swift and unex-
pected lung was the very furry of
wildness.
Little as domestication has chang
ed the individual animal, it has
changed still less the animal group
the herd, the flock, the pack. The
spirit of the pack and herd springs
from primal needs-common fear,
or hunger, or the call of kind to
kind. The gregarious animal must
be separated from it's clan to be do
mesticated. Allowed to return to
the herd or pack, it lapses promptly
into the wild state; for the spirit of
the herd is wild.
Our western cattle are none of
them native. There is no wild ma
tive stock except the bison. Our
cattle are all European, and they
represent centuries of careful breed
ing. l have never attempted to
trace their several lines back to
Aurochs, the European bison-if
they can be traced; but the wild
blood of that Monarch of old must
have ceased running in their veins
long, long ago. Not so his spirit
in them. A herd of heavy, bald
faced Herefords. just beneath their
corn-fed coats, may be found as
wild and dangerous as a herd of
buffalo.

Shall be king of noble Deeds
With goodness crowned, and own

And she shall share his throne.

puted master of England, or place
new king on the throne. He is
seen giving his directions to the
Duke of Norfolk, his greatest gen.
eral; sending messenger to Lord
Stanley, whose disloyalty is to bring
defeat so soon, with a vengeful
threat. worthy of England's bloody
prince; personally directing the in
spection of his armor; and at last
drinking himself into befuddled
sleepiness, and one by one dismiss
ing his attendants for the night.
With last draught at the wine
bowl, be retires to his tent and
troubled dreams.
The night deepens. The next
scene shows King Richard dream
ing in his tent; and one by one the
ghosts of his relatives, through
whose blood he has waded to the
throne of England, come before
him to remind him of his crimes
and to prophesy defeat for the
morrow. Torn with this fearful
nightmare, Richard starts from his
couch and rushes out into the night,
crying for himself the mercy he has
never shown to others.
The ensuing scene, the famous
soliloquy of Richard. is probably
only surpassed in dramatic intensity
by the mad scene from Shake
speare's Lear" Reused by the
specters of his crimes, Richard in
mortal fear lays bare his inmost
soul, running the gamut of the
emotions from insane fury TO maud
lin self-pity; and here Mr.. L. sur
passed himself. The hysterical ter
ror with which he broke from his
dreaming brought the spectators up
with gasp, and he held them on
tenter-hooks to the close of the
scene, when section of pande-
monium seemed to drop into the
packed Auditorium.
The fourth scene showed Rich
ard and Radcliffe, entering from
spying upon his followers early
the following morning. They are
interrupted by the Duke of Nor
folk rushing IN, crying to arms.
At once Richard becomes the fear
less general, giving orders with
lightning rapidity, sending another
message to the dallying Lord Stan
ley, shouting for his charger, bent
upon leading his army in person.
The messenger returns with Stan
ley's fatal detection, and in his
passion Richard would himself
wreak vengeance on Stanley's in
nocent son, being dissuaded only
when the Duke of Norfolk points
QUO that the enemy is already on the
field of battle. Undaunted by
dreams or desertions, Richard
rushes forth to the fray.
The fifth and sixth scenes were
given from the battle of Bosworth
field. Catesby, the fine gentleman,
the courtier. terrified by the con-
flict and the danger of his master,
seeks the Duke of Norfolk for help
and protection for the king. Before
Norfolk can reply Richard himself
staggers into the scene, unhorsed,
defeated. but undismayed.
Spurning the terrified courtiers
who would save him by flight, he
rushes back into the battle, with his
famous cry, "A horse! A horse!
My kingdom for a horse!' only to
be defeated and slain in personal
combat with Richmond, the future
King Henry VII.
The act closes with Richmond's
speech to his followers, proclaim
ing peace again to England, and
invoking the blessings of God upon
the war-torn Island.

ceptlonal, his tone rising round aud
clear above the Instrumentation, and
the appreciative audience called
him back twice with it's applause.
President S. next announced the
presence of Miss Bertha Maude
Pratt, a Lyceum entertainer of
Minneapolis, who generously con-
sented to favor the Circle with a
number of selections from her re-

Miss Pratt's whistling solos, with
piano accompaniment, were superb.
The writer lived most of his early
life in a community where good
music was the order rather than the
exception, and there heard many of
the great musicians of the time, but
seldom has he heard a finer inter-
