FRIENDSHIP, tho most sncrcd of
nil moral bonds, Is never appreci
ated nt lt full worth until by Bomo
unlookcd for snail of Its golden moor?
lugs It tnkes fright and files away.
In the excitement of tho moment,
tho Inns mny uot be keenly felt, but
lis tho years ride by In their swift
chariots, lines marl: tho faco and
strands of sliver streak tho hair,
thero cornea to the loser an Inex
pressible sense of loneliness which
Bhnrply reminds him or her of the
glorious sun that has set behind tho
purple hills.
A friendship which multiplied Joys
rind divided sorrbws Is gone forever.
As you repeat this word "gone' In
tho night when you nre alone, and
again In tho morning and nt Inter
vals through the day, It comes upon
you with a new and terrible meaning.
IJow gladly you would erase It, but
In spite of your oft boasted strength

TEN YEARS
TO THE boy of eight, ten yenrs Is
an eternity. Ten years ago ho
Jiad no existence. Ten years nioro
und he will be u man In stature
a size that seems to htm far beyond
attainment.
To the hoy of twenty-one, ton
years, while not a lifetime, Is a
long stretch ahead.
At tho end of tho coming ten years
fio will be well on his way to wher
ever ho is going, success or failure.
If ho could understand Just how
fnuch thoso ten years mean, Just
vhnt can be done with them, Just
jwhat they will yield If rightly culti
vated, there would be fur less
trouble and fllstress In tho world.
To the mnn of forty, ten years aro
ten years whlcli must not be wnstcd.
Tho next ten years aro his best, as
far as producttvlty Is concerned. If
lie has not miido the last ten years
(count, ho still has a chnnce with tho
pext ten.

of will, you find In your grief that
you cannot do It.
Pride scores as dictator.
Like n beggar you sup on Its dry
crusts, and go to bed night after
night with an acho In your heart
and a sting In your conscience.
Yet you keep going crookedly
about tho byways and hlghwnys of
life and contlnuo year after year tho
ragged practlco of unbending your
neck or curving your Hps with a
friendly smile.
It no longer matters so much how
your bchnvlor appears to the glar
ing eyes of tho . world, so you per
sist stubbornly to air your pride and
llout It In public places, dropping
dally a llttlo lower from the high
Ideals so sacred toyou In the peace
ful, hallowed days of friendship.
In tho background of every pic
ture depicting human unhapplness
you will find an ugly blur of color
quite at varlanco with the rules of
harmony, caused by a slip of tho
tongue or n spurt of passionate anger
between two persons, communities or
nntlons.
If you will study tho blur Intently,
you will find that It Is tho evil thing
that destroys peace and strews
battlefields with rivulets of blood.
If you have a truo friend, give
him or her tho best of which pure
friendship Is capable of giving; or.
If you have quarreled, break the
truce and heaven will bless you I

After that, unless ho Is a phe
nomenon, the chance will bo gono. He
can progress nftor fifty, go farther
than he has ever gono, but rarely un
less he Is going strong on his fiftieth
birthday.
Look at your remaining years as
an asset. Examine tho next ten of
them for opportunity, "ml Beo If you
can allot to each enough work to
carry you ut a hotter puce Into tho
next decade.
Ten years wisely employed at any
tlnio after twenty ought to make a
man either a success or n failure.
They may not bo enough to bring
n fortune, but they ought to bring
habits and methods which later will
Insuro Independence.
Compare tho next ten years with
tho last, and dctcrmino that these
stretches of time, now empty and un
Improved, shall bo filled with achieve
ment that Is worth while.
You can put Into them ulniost any
thing you choose work, effort,
thought, or Idling, and tlmo wasting,
Almost any man can bo made or
broken In ten years. You havo at

ing tho next ton will count for much,

And theso coming ton years will bo

lovers lived together and then Pagld
was arrested and sentenced to llvo

wounds after he had killed the cashier
of a bank he wns trying to rob. Mattle
