HOLD FAST TO YOUR FRIENDS Wo should never let a friend go out of our lives if we can possibly help It. If "slights-'.are Riven, let then) bo overlooked. if 'misunderstandings arise, let them quickly bo set aright. Friendship is too rare and sacred a treasurer to be thrown, away, lightly. And yet many .people are not careful to retain friends. Some lose them trough inattention, failing to iitatntain those ^ittle ameviitSes, courtesies, and kindnesses which cost so little, and yet are hooks of steel to grapple and bold our friends. r ' Some drop old friends for new ones. Some take offense easily at imagined slights, and ruthlessly cut the most sacred ties. Some become Impatient of little fau.\s, I'd discard even truest frlepds. Some are incapable of anv deep or permanent affection, and fly from friendship to friendship, like birds from bough to bough. but make no heart rest in any way. When we have once taken friends in.o our lives. we should cherish thefn as rarest Jewels.?Highways of Happiness. IDLERS CAN'T BE HAPPY A large part of the dissatisfaction aud complaint of people cornea from pure idleness. An idle brain Is the devil's work shop. Thomas Jefferson onee wrote a letter on the subject to his 15 year old daughtei, and said: "Of all the cankers of human hap plness none corrodes with so si lent yet so baneful an influence as indolence. Body and mind both unemployed, our being becomes a bur den and every object about us loathesome, even the dearest. Idleness begets ennui, ennui the hypochrondrlsc, and that a diseased body.' No laborious person was ever hys terloal. Exercise and application produce order In our affairs, health of body and cheerfulness of mtnd and these make ua precious to our friends. It Is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed." "A mind always employed Is always happy. That Is the true Becret the grand recipe for felicity. The Idle are the only wretched.' -Boasley's Weekly. Soli erosion has cut the useful life of over 20 percent of the water supply reservoirs of the United Sta tes to less than 50 years, says H. 11.

The camp site was a vacant lot made muddy from recent rains, and H be rally studded with puddles of inky water. The ablutionary facilities consisted of a slop bucket of water and a community bar of laundry soap. Cowboys rode , here and there, splashing gobs of mud; neighbors, friendly but uncouth, stuck their heads Into her tent.. By the end of the day Mary, in spite of her efforts to keep up her morale, was a' soiled, disheveled, nerve-frazzled wreck. Stretch found her, lying under a tree in a patch of grass at the outskirts of the camp, seeking surcase from the babble and balm for her Jangled nerves. "What's the matter, Mary?
