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.

Harold Hunnlcutt says he made
a alow trip from Charlotte to Hawk
Haven yesterday In his new ship.
It took him 30 minutes to make the
25 miles even though he was flying
at 100 miles per hour the head wind
held him back. He said he could
have made the return trip 'in 8
minutes.
Holland Dixon must be a mighty
1 busy man. He called up Tuesday
and made an appointment to see me

showed up at 9:20 saying that he
had been very busy. Maybe he had
been shaking hands with the numerous

"Mary, you're not going to Mi
To say that the camp was crude
would be a triumph of understatement
For living quarters the fastidiously
reared llary found herself
thrust into a tent containing
two Iron cots (one of which collapsed
when she sat down on it)
and little else. 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?
You're worried about something,
ain't you?"
"Worried?" she lied. "No. I'm
not worried about anything."
"I know. You're Worried about
your father -?nd those kid sisters.

the ranch where we're coin* to
live, we could take care'of 'em

feeling of ahame at her deception.
"Oh. they'll be all right." ahe

Stretch suggested that aba go
