We remember how Doctor GLADDEN.
used to preach upon friendship, which
he regarded as the practical form of
religion. When a mans heart is right
he is quite sure to be friendly. There
is no hate. no envy, no suspicion, no
discourtesy. no i'll temper. TO be with
out these is the fulfilling of the law
which is love, and that is religion.
Much more of it is needed than ap-
pears in business, in society, in poll
ties In fact, there is room for good
deal more. The test of mans re-
ligion is found in the extent and quail
ity of his friendship. It must not be
the friendship of etiquette simply, nor
even of good fellowship. 1t is the
habit or condition of a person that
grows out of his spirituality. There is
not much use in mans participating
in all the means Of grace if he hates
his neighbor. And yet how many there
are of that kind. There is nothing
that the coming reconstruction of So
ciety needs so much as friendship. It
is a sort of treason to neglect it.

MADE FAMOUS BY RESULTS
Events Of History Remembered by
What They Meant to Their Own
and Succeeding Ages.

There are enterprises, military as
well as civil, that sometimes check the
current of events; give new turn to
human affairs, and transmit their con-
sequences through ages. We see their
importance in their results and call
them great, because great things fol-
low. There have been battles which
have fixed the fate of nations. These
come down to us in history with
solid and permanent influence, not
created by display Of glittering
armOr the rush Of adverse battaliOns.
the sinking and rising of pennOns, the
flight, the pursuit, and the victory; but
by their effect in advancing or retard-
ing human knowledge, in overthrow
ing or establishing despOtism, IN
extending or destroying human happi-
ness. When the traveller pauses on
the plains of Marathon, what are the
emotions which strongly agitate his
breast? Not, imagine, that
Grecian skill and Grecian valor were
here most signally displayed; but that
Greece herself was saved. 1t is be-
cause to this spot, and to the event
which has rendered it immortal, he
refers all the succeeding glories Of
the republic.-Daniel Webster.

SAID He SAW HE'LL AFLOAT
Some Excuse for BackWoodsman's
Story When He First. Saw the
Steamboat Armenia.

Competition for passenger trade
among steamboat companies on the
Hudson river in the early days of
steam navigation went so far some
times that it defeated it's own ends
and was somewhat amusing in the
retrospect. Such was the case with
the Armenia, one of the first boats
built which was fast enough to make
most of the trip from New York to
Albany by daylight. This was for the
purpose of attracting passengers who
wished to view the beautiful river
scenery, but for fear that scenery alone
would pail on the passengers, the own
ers also installed a steam calliope. The
calliOpe was simply series OF steam
whistles pitched in various keys OF
sufficient number to play simple tunes.
The Armenia was considered some
thing remarkable when she first ap-
peared, as indeed she was. The de-
mand on her boilers for steam to blow
the calliope whistles was SO great,
however, that the expense of furnish
ing the passengers with steam tunes
as well as speedy transportation was
more than the owners could afford.
The story is told Of Catskill back
woodsman, who, while visiting river
town for the first time, saw the Ar
menia plying along before dawn,
spouting sparks and smoke and with
all her discordant whistles blowing.
On his return home he told wonder
full tale of seeing the devil going up
the river in a sawmill with all the
denizens of hell on board shrieking in
awful torment

Departed Marine GIories.

In 1861, fully half of the worlds tom
mage flew the Stars and Stripes. We
far outranked, and for nearly two
decades had outranked even England
herself. For 20 years our clipper
ships had been the pride of the nation.
There was not port of the seven seas
not even Japan-that was closed to
them. And still today, in the quiet
New England streets of Salem and
Newburyport and Portsmouth, one
finds in the old-time captains houses
the treasures of the Orient. In Essex
street, Salem, stands the sturdy stone
structure of the Asiatic bank; the Pa
cific bank still does business on the
island of Nantucket-Only two of the
many mute memorials of the glory of
the American merchant marine more
than half a century ago.

Quaint Old PASSPORT.

The quaint old town of PASSPORT,
Me-, which is but little way from
the easternmost point in the United
States, is of interest because during
the War of 1872 a British feet sailed
into the harbor and took possession
of the town and fort without firing a
shot. Here British troops remained
until the exact boundary between the
United States and Canada had been
determined. With the exception of
the interval indicated above, Ameri-
can troops occupied the fort from
1903 until 1875. In the latter year it
was abandoned and later the property
was sold to, private individuals. who
turned the buildings into dwellings.

SENATE GETS THE
j. S.-FRENCH PACT
President Urges Ratification and
Explains the Treaty.
CITES GREAT DEBT TO ALLY
Document Is Practically Identical
With One Signed Between France
and Great Eritain-Purpose of
Agreement Shown.

Washington, July 30.-President
Wilson transmitted to the senate the
special treaty with France by which
the United States pledges itself to
come Immediately to the aid of that
republic in the event of an unprovoked
attack by Germany, and asked for its
early ratification "along with the
treaty with Germany
Submission of the treaty came after
sharp criticism by senate Republicans,
who for several days had openly
charged on the senate floor that in
failing to present the draft of the pact
along with the treaty of Versailles, the
president had violated one sof the ar
ticles of the document. The president
did not follow the usual custom of
presenting the treaty in person. He
sent it to the capitol by special mes
senger along with a message explain
ing it's object.
Difference in Wording.
The FrancO-American treaty is al
most identical with one signed between
Great Britain and France One diff
ference betweenf the texts, as made
public by the French foreign office, to
which attention has been called, is
that the United States pledges itself
TO go "immediately' to the assistance
OF France while. Great Britain "cOn-
sents' to assist that country.
The, president told the senate the
purpose of the treaty was to provide
assistance for France in case: of I'M
provoked aggression by Germany with
out waiting for the advice of the cOun-
eli Of the League of Nations that such
action should be taken, and explained
that it was TO be an arrangement mot
independent of the League of Nations,
but under it,
Treaty Limitation.
1.-THE covenant of the League of Ma
tiOns," the president said, provides
for military action for the protection
of it's members only upon the advice
of the council of the league-advice
given, it is TO be presumed, only upon
deliberatiOn and acted upon by each
of the governments of the member
states only if its own judgment justi-
fies such action.
Pointing out that The treaty shall
receive the approval of the council of
the league" the president said 1t
would remain in force "only until,
upon the application of one of the par
ties to it, the council of the league,
acting, if necessary. by a majority
vote, shall agree that the provisions
of the covenant of the league afford
her (France) sufficient protection
Mr.. Wilson said he was moved to
sign the treaty by the ties of friend
ship binding the two countries and the
assistance France gave America in it's
struggle for independence. Without
this assistance the president said, it
was seriously to be doubted whether
America could have won independence,
and added:
Nothing can pay such a debt"
