The TraIt Haa Its prawbaeka.

But say, that rare, sympathetic
friend doesn't stifle his taltO,ts when
out Of your hearing. The next fellow
gets also slice of his understanding.
After awhile you begin to wonder if
he is chTonicly good at listening and
whether if the truth were known, he
does not shed from his waterproof
mind every thought Of your wonderful
stories the moment he sees you out
OF sight. He isn't deceitful my, no,
but he knows the art of listening, the
comfort Of smiles and expressions OF
sympathy and he likes to give you a
great pleasure. He isn't at all like
the man who, just as soon as you start
talking about your ambitions, has some
of his own much greater which sweep
you off the stage.

RODS GIVE NO PROTECTION
French Vine Growers Find They De-
rive No Benefit From Metal
Rods They Erected.

The vine-grOwinG region of the Gi-
ronde, in France, has been quite ex-
tensively equipped in recent years
with tall metal rods. similar TO light
ming rods, known as paragreles or
electric Niagaras." and alleged TO af
careful study of the functiOning of
these rods has recently been published
by NJ. f. County of the University of
Bordeaux. The statistics presented
show that numerous hailstormS have
occurred in the vicinity of nearly all
the rods. Moreover, according to NJ.
County, there has been no obvious
change in the character of these
storms since the erection of the rods.
His article points out some of the
principal reasons for the erroneous
conclusions that others have drawn In
favor of them; for example. the fact
that. normally, only one thunderstorm
in five is attended by hail; that the
area over which hail falls is normally
very small in comparison with that
covered by the thunderstorm, and hail
tends to occur in scattered patches or
narrow bands; and. lastly. that dis
trict in which hail has fallen for two
or three years in succession often re-
mains free from hail for years. re-

Lake Silian.

The forested district round about Lake
Siljan is one of the most interesting
bits of country In the world, in the
matter of local color and folk Gus
toms that have been preserved almost
unchanged from earlier times. Lake
Siljan lies In the heart of Sweden. in
region still relatively isolated. The
lake is large enough to afford traffic
for small steamers, and the country
boats of the peasants are numerous.
In dress and customs. the people
Of the villages that dot the shores
have kept the variety and color that
distinguished country districts before
modern means of transportation made
the world unit. forcing us all to dress
and act and think alike. Thus the vii
lage of Orsa has even a dialect mark
eddy different from its neighbOrs,
which is said to resemble the old
Scotch more than Swedish. People of
villages 10 or IL miles apart can he
distinguished by their distinctive dress.

Think Of Yourself.

You cannot reach q high degree OF
success in anything without making
enemies.
Perhaps your lack of success has
been caused by this very feeling that
you desire to make and retain your
friends.
You might have improved your po-
sition many times, but you feared the
I'll feeling engendered in certain cir
cles with your advancement.
There are times in the lives Of all
men when they must each choose be-
tween what is for their own best in
terest and their friends. and this does
not mean that 1t is a case Of taking
advantage of friends--merely dis
pleasing them.
Perhaps cit is principle of bust
ness irvOlved-perfectly honest and
honorable, and to your financial credit
but what would your friends think
If you took the decisive step?
