Young Man Surprised to Receive chal.

william Kenrick. a Berkshire gentle

gentleman named Benjamin Child. He
was a poor attorney. With this hand
some young man the younger lady fell
Violently in love. but still she was eau

several days. trying to shake herself
free Of the sudden passion. but all in
vain. Then. feeling that something
must be done, but unable, from confu-
sion Of mind. to devise 4 proper course,
she took the extraordinary step Of
sending the young man q letter de-
manding satisfaction for alleged In

for the hostile meeting. Mr.. Child was
Duch surprised. and quite at loss to
conceive who the challenger could he.
BY the advice of friend. he decided
to 60 to the dueling place. Here he
was met by the young woman. who.
much to his surprise, told him he
would have to hght her or marry her.

False Economy.

Some people begrudge the expendi-
ture Of money to beautify the home or
to bring the comforting message Of
friendship In time Of trouble. To them
flowers are Of no use. pictures and
music a waste of money. But a life
restricted to things that go into the
pot or are worn on the back results In
starving the spirit. "lf l had two
loaves Of bread I would sell one Of
them to buy white hyacinths to feed
my SOUL" That wns the terse and
poetic statement Of 4 truth oft neg
.ected.
Even the poor need other things
more than they need money. The
money will be gone next month. but
the memory Of a great bunch Of wild
lowers remain. Flower missions fur
nish a beautiful ministry that almost
any Sunday school class can exercise.

II Is almost impossible to be genuine
~ friendly With q person who insists
on being too close to you, on knowing
all your thoughts, feelings and affairs.
and on claiming your time and atten-
ton on the excuse Of affection alone.
The bonds Of true friendship must
be easy and Its demands must be for
something real and vital The woman
who calls on you perpetualiy because
she has taken q sudden fancy to you Is
Q blind and selfish egotist, In q mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore you intensely. but II you
are q polite and courteous person you
bear with her until she directs her at
tention elsewhere. She will probably
tell the new friend that you are every

every new acquaintance and then COM
plain that they have 70 few friends.
The reason Is that friendship Is not
built on trivialties and whims, but BY
giving such valuable things as true con.
