IF MAY CALL YOU FRIEND."
II may call You friend l wish you this
No gentle destiny throughout the years,
No soft content, ease, unearned bliss
Bereft of heartache where nears
But rather rugged trouble for a mate
TO mold your soul against the coming blight,
To train you for the ruthless whip of fate,
And build your heart up for the bitter fight.
II may call you friend, wish you more
A rare philosophy may fake
To put the game itself beyond the score
And take the tide of life it may break; d
To know the struggle that should know
Before he comes through with the winning hit
And, though you slip before the charging foe,
To love the game too well to ever quit.
II may call you friend. wish this, too,
As you grope blindy out the narrow beat,
That you may have dtme dream come true,
Which is than most ever meet;
That you viii hold this worthy prize
For all the traps with which the course was lined,
Not Scorning it with too ambitious eyes
That look for something you never find.

No nloralist has condemned
with sufficient force the abomm-
able vice of scandalous gossip.
There are women and---l am
ashamed TO add--men who seem
to feel positive delight in dis
seminating stories, whether true
or false, about their neighbors'
sins and follies. The root OF this
propensity is an Unborn malignity
combined with absolute egoism.
The lover OF scandai imagines
that by imputing frailty or even
WicRednesS to others, he or she
may pose as an exception to
human weakness. Thus, the ele-
ment Of ''holier than thou enters
into the conduct of the inveterate
scandal-monger.
The words of the great drama
list viii always be applicable to
both men and women until human
nature has been radically
changed:
Vert thou as chaste as Ice, as
pure as snow,
AS white as monumental ala
baster,
Thou could'st not scape
calumny."
The attitude that should be
taken towards the person who
vilifies us without cause and
without evidence il one of con-
temptuous defiance and even
mockery. The destroyer of repu-
tations always likes to be taken
seriously and relies on the Gre
dulity and the meanness of aver
age humanity for the faciIe ac-
ceptance of lying or only half
true story. When put to the proof
the defamer is coward and will
never face the music.''
If / were asked what defense
| or any other person can have
against evil tongues barbed with
venom to administer a mortar
wound to my good name, would
say: My friends, or-if | have
but one in the whole world-my
friend will defend me- The
opinion of the world about us can
net be treated with utter indiTer-
ence. We have to live in the
world, and its inhabitants.
whether we like it or NOT, will sit
in judgment upon us. We must
respect that judgment In so far
as it is just. But when It is un-
just, we have right to repudiare
and even to despise 1t. Our
friends will pay no need to the
unsympathetic condemnation OF

til he has GRAINED a new "bourgeoisie, he

JOINT RESOLUTIONS.

Those who view with alarm as an invasion
| of executive prerogatives the proposal OF con-
gress to declare by joint resolution the existence
| CT a state of peace, are either unfamiliar with
the history of their country or deliberately ig-
more facts On December twenty ninth, 1885,
the state of Texas was admitted to our union
not by treaty, but by joint resolution OF con-
gress. A that time Polk was president, and far
from resenting the action OF the legislative
branch of government as an infringement OF his
authority, welcomed it expression of the
popular will and cheerfuDy approved the reso-
luton.
/ Yet this acquisition of vast new domain was
an immensely more important matter than that
which congress now undertakes A treaty end
ling a war has been made with Germany by the
president himself; but for purposes of his own
he now refuses to sign it. Congress therefore
declares that peace on the terms fixed by this
treaty shall go into immediate effect. The presl-
dent who by merely signing bis name might
have brought about any day of the year last
past state of peace on the terms he helped to
make, is expected for political reasons to veto
the joint resolution, and members OF congress
who put partisanship above the welfare of the
nation uphold him in this extraordinary course.
The pretext on which he opposes the making OF
peace is that the senate refuses to join league
of kingdoms advocated by him on terms which
rake America ''the goat to use the express
sive term But his real reasons though conceal
ed, are not beyond discovery. His purpose is
apparent, and the San Francisco convention
will show if it succeeds or fails.
1t is well that the senate committee removed
the camouflage of Russian citizenship with
which Martens, the so-called soviet ambassa
DOR surrounded himself. The mans main
purpose here seems to have been to aid those
seeking to overthrow the government. There
was never the slightest doubt among reasonable
persons Of his purpose, and The unmasking OF
his real nationality will serve to warn the peo-
pie that the treachery toward friendly nations
practiced by Germany before the war is still be.
ing practiced either by or for the benefit OF
German militarism or by those who, once agents 4
of Germany, are making most Of the start CIV !

 "When," she managed to ask, twill they do it?'
 Next Monday
 It was then Friday.
 Did he say anything else?' the girl inquired. "Was that all the mes sage? ?'
 Substantially. But he did say that he hoped way might be found. He told me you had said you might drop in to see him if you found yourself back in New York while he was laid up."
 "Yes, I did say that. I wish-I wish"
 The girl stopped, confused. She could not go on without encourage ment, and that was condition that could not exist where Mrs. Harvey Sheldon happened to be. She was famous for the encouragement she could give.
 "What is it, dear, that you wish ?' she asked, softly. "Won't you tell me? Pm your friend"
 "That I could see him and help him if it is possible to hedp him.
 "Then go."

 q do. Indeed I do."
 Barbara's eyes did wot things al most at once. They filled because of the feeling of gratitude Mrs. Shei- don's kindness had prompted; they became glorious with the souldt of the girl shining forth from them. Then she seized Mrs. Sheldons hands and kissed them.
 For an hour they talked of the trip, planning it and wondering little what the other guests would say. Barbara asked this question of Mrs. Sheldon.
 "Say? Oh. nothing, most probably. Everybody knows Pm always for getting something, and that Pm like ly to start back the next minute af- ter arrive" F
 "Pll never say that about you that you are forgetful,7 murmured the girl. They announced their plon at breakfast next morning! They were to start immediately afterward. It caused more or less surprise and the expression of much regret on the part of the men, Bob Farge and Dix Randall being the most regretful; 1; but none doubted that Mrs. Sheldon had fogotten half of what she had expected to bring with her.
 For it was her reputation to be known as forgetful woman. Which she did not earn, really, except by the sharpness of her wits. Times
