! IX. ? The Friends That
Stick
"W"%UT, you see, papa," protested
Lc young Mrs Rollins, "we've
[ J got to keep up appearances. )
1 dou't think people ure like
they were when you were youug. You
must make a show nowadays If you're
going to stay In society. As Will says,
If we don't trail along with the proces
slon we'll get left at the post. I'm not
sure that that's exactly the way he
' put It. hut 1 know he means that If we
didn't do as our friends do we wouldn't
bave any friends."
"Uh, huh," grunted the colonel. "It's
a sort of an up to date version of the
Golden Rule? splurge for others If you
want others to splurge for you. I've
got no particular quarrel with that If
you can afford it. It helps to mako
business good. But 1 dou't think you
can afford It. Moreover, It dou't make
friends and It don't keep friends.
Moreover, again, there ain't a bit of
difference between the world now and
when I was a boy, or when Julius Cae
sar was a boy, for that matter, it's al
ways been that way, and 1 reckon It
always will be that way. It's been a
continuous procession rrom Adam's
time down, and there's alwuys been a
lot of people falliu' over one another
tryln' to keep the head of it in sight
"But there's a whole lot more, a
great many more, now as well as then,
who don't care a continental rap about
keepln' up with the procession; most
of 'em don't even know that there Is
a processlou, and if they did they
wouldn't take the trouble to go to the
window to see It pass by, much less
trail on behind the band wagon, for,
honestly now, honey, what's the use?
Does the processlou ever get anywhere
or do anything? Not on your life. It
just prances around In a circle and
blows Its horn. It puts on a lot of
style, to be sure, and It looks mighty
gay with its ribbons and Its feathers
dyln", but the people (hat's on the out
side watcbln' it get more entertain
ment out of it than the ones takln'
part In It"
"But what else are we to ilo, papa?"
Interrupted his daughter. "You don't
want ua to stay at home all the time
and wear our old clothes, do you 7"
"No, slr-ee. little girl, and you know
i don't. 1 want you to wear Just as
pretty dresses as you can afford and
have all the fun that's comln' to you,
but dou't do tblogs you've got no busi
ness to do Just because otUer people
do them, and don't Imagine that you'll
lose any friends If the procession gets
away from you. Maybe some of the
people you call your friends would get
somethln' the matter with their eyes
when you came along the street If you
didn't put on as much style as they
did, but that kind of cattle ain't the
stuff that frleuds are made of. There's
nothln' flner or sweeter In the world
than a good friend, and the man or the
woman that hasn't got real friends is
mighty unfortuuate, but you can't get
'em aud you cau't keep 'eiu by rnaklu'
a show, as you call It. Just try it by
your own standard, for instance. Take
the women that you like the best.
Why do you like them? Is it because
they wear tine clothes or live in big
NOT GOOD FOH PHI ENDS.
bouses or give swell parties that you
like them? No; you bet It ain't It's
because there's somethln* within them
that's better than auy show they
could make If they bad millions. And
don't you suppose the same women
love you for the same reason? Don't
you suppose It's your character and
not your dress that draws them to
you? I'm mighty sure It Is. and I'm
also mighty sure that they'd keep on
lovln* you, no matter whether you had
your gowus made In Paris or by the
little dressmaker around the corner.
If they didn't, why. they wouldn't be
friends. That's all there Is to that.
They'd Just be make believes, and If
you lost 'em yon wouldn't lose any
thing worth grlevln' about.
"What I'm try In' to get Into your
pretty little m>ggln-nnd. by the way,
honey. I like that new way of flxln'
your hair; it's mlghiv becomln'-but, as
I was about to remark, the point I'm
tryin' to get you to sec is that fine
feathers don't make fine frleuds, and
you'll make a mighty big mistake if
you think the only friends worth bav
in" are the ones that wear the gayest
raiment You
v ' ' / will find good,
true frleuds. no
doubt. In swell
garb, but It ain't
the clothes that
make them so,
for real friend
ship has nothln'
to do with dress
or position in life.
It springs from
qualities of the

heart, which
don't cost a red
cent and which
millions can't
buy.

too many friends,
my dear, but you've got to depend
upon somethln' besides appearances
to get them and to keep them. The
(fiends that stick ure the ones that
lovo you for wbnt you- i fire," not for
what you wear, nnd you'll find ma
tcrlal for friends of tlint kind among
the high and the low, the rich and
the poor. Some of tbo best friends
I've got don't know where the next
dollar's to come from, and some of
the others don't know what to do with
their money, but they're all In the
same boat In the matter of friendship,
and any one of them would go through
Ore and water for me. I know, be
cause I've tried them.
"But you can't make friends with
out doln' somcthln' or belu' some
thin' worthy of friendship, and jou
can't keep friends uuiess you give as
much as you take? not In money, un
derstand, but in friendly words and
friendly deeds. In a little sympathy or
a little help when
it's needed, and
particularly when
It's badly need

that sticks, no

you lend tho pro

more than n

forget you're on

you've got friends
you can count "love you for what

what happens, you ought to hang on to_
'em with a death grip, for there's noth
ln' more precious on earth except a
good wife or n good husband nnd chil
dren. But you needu't be afraid of los

ances. The real ones, little girl, ain't
lost In that way."
The Experiment Failed.
When a small boy mentioned In j
Short Stories grows up the scientific
curiosity he displayed may be a valu
able jKissesslon. Meanwhile his moth- !
er objects to It.
"Ma," remarked the boy, "Isn't It ,
funny that everybody calls little broth
er a bouncing bab.vV"
"Why do yon think It's funny, Wll- i
llam?"' asked his mother.
"Because when I dropped him off
the porch this morning be didn't -
bounce a bit; he just hollered."
How Toucans Roost.
Nothing could be more eccentric tc !
our eyes than the way in which tou
cans go to roost. The bird does not j
"tuck its head under Its wing, poor
thiug!" and so settle down, but pucka
itself up in most orderly fashion. The
tail is turned forward over the back,
in the soft feathers of which the gl- '
gantlc bill is hidden. Then the tall
shuts down, all semblance of a bird Is
lost, and one can see nothing but a
ball of feathers.? London Standard.

SKIN-TORTURES YIELD
TO EASY TREATMENT
"In 1907 my faeo broke out !n a mass
of Itching son? which finally affected
my eyesight. I tried
several highly recom
mended salve* that
cost ono dollar an
ounce, but to no avail.
A friend of mine urged
me to try Cuticura
Soap ana Cutioura
Ointment as ho was
euro of good results
from Ills own experi
ence. I used tho
Cuticura Ointment for
about six weeks, after
washing thoroughly with tho Cutioura
Soap. My face is in perfect health now
which I owe to the Cuticura Remedies.
I shall always stand by them as one of
the greatest blessings to tho suffering
thousands. Arthur D. Gridley, 532 Dean
St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Apr. 0, 1909."
"In tho middle of tho night of March
30th I woke up with a burning itch in
my two hands and I felt as if I could
pull them apart. In tho morning tho
itching had got to my chest and during
that day it spread all over my bodv. 1
was red and raw from tho top or my
head to the soles of my feet and I was
in continual agony from the itching. I
could neither lie down nor sit up. I
happened to see about Cuticura Reme
dies and I thought I would give them a
trial. I took a good bath with tho Cuti
cura Soap and used the Cuticura Oint
ment. I put it on from my head down
to mv feet and then went to bed. On
the first of April I felt like a new man.
The itching was almost gone. I con
tinued w>tn the Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment and during that day the itching
completely left me. Frank Gridley. 325

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept tho kidneys in good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the samo work in other cas
es. Read this:
It. C. Fen ton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
mailt for publication, telling of my ex
perlencc with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to j
oouflrm all 1 then said In their favor.
1 was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally 1 became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on ono occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
the kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
