Safety In Friendship.
An Intimate friendship is at once
a safeguard In recreation and social
enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be
fore he plunges into surroundings
which he knows bis best friend would
condemn. It Is a stimulus, because
in work or business, or even play, a
man does not willingly lag behind
while the friend 1s forging ahead. In
oommon endeavors for good causes,
religious or social or political, friend
ship Is a powerful Inducement to self
forgetting activity.
Naturally Frightened.
| Decayed and fungoid wood Is alst
| "fox Are.” On one occasion some ol
this was used for a camp Are, and
many of the broken fragments were
scattered over the ground where th*
men were sleeping. The Are died out
daring the night and one of the party
awoke, and In his fright woke th«
rest, who were equally terrlAed, be
Having that they were lying amon*
Uve coals.
Small Wonder.
A lady suffering from a severe cold
directed her maid to procure two pen
nyworth of amrnoniated tincture ol
quinine. Great was her amusement
on the return of the maid, who ex
pressed her inability to obtain “the
two animated pictures of Queen
Anne."—London Telegraph.
Stick to Right. Principles.
The man whose principles are right
will suffer his. setbacks, lose his
friends ar.d t,ave doubts, but In the
long run hr. will win, and the victory,
which is the result of principle, Is a
permanent one.
