There la greet responsibility In frlend
hlp. We are apt to forget that we owe
much to a friend who cornea Into our
life. .We like to be cheered and
ktlmulated ourselvea in the companion
ship of congenial friend. butVe do not
always think what we may be to them,
what they may be looking; for," waiting
or hoping for; Just a word of cheer, or
sympathy, or encouragement, or, it may
be, a word of counsel. We are. often too
eelf-abeorbed to see what they want, or
perhaps, we are selfishly Indifferent,
rovided we have been pleased and
cheered ourselves. Truly, we are not fit
to be a friend unttt we realise respon
sibility In friendship. The essential thing
Is to be a friend.
A word may save a friend from a fool
ish of an imprudent action, or a very
grave mistake. But we need to have
much tact In speaking the word. A
gentle "suggestion often helps. Friend
ship does not take for granted the rough
telling of faults, or tho making of harsh
criticisms. If it Is necessary to speak a
strong word which will ' arouse con
science and clear the way to nobler
things, the word must be spoken
bravely.. A true friend Is not fine who
flatters, not one who Is blind to our
faults,-but who inspires us to do our
best. To give strength to a friend in
time of weakness or discouragement is
a glorious privilege.
"I shall never quite understand your
Interest in me," said a girl to an older
woman, in a talk which had given her
c(virage and inspiration. "Few friends
M take the trouble to be so kind and
tMfnpathetic."
,'Try to understand that I like to be
trusted, like to help," said the older.
"Anything that I have to give, or share,
in experience, knowledge of the world, In
sight Into the problems of Ufa and
character is given with glad service."
"Problems, ' yes. there seem to be
plenty of problems and struggles," said
the girl.
"Life would be dull wlthCut them," re
jplled her friend. "We have our prob
Itums and'our fights of different kinds
lontlnually. It Is worth many fights not
u make a mistake."
'It seems hard that everyone should
have to -fight so constantly," the girl
said. -
"But one learns many things in the
process," answered the older woman. "By
one'a own effort life becomes better
and fuller and character is built, up."

There are numerous girls in New York,

You are sure to meet them in time. In
the meantime suppose you act the part
of a loyal friend and tell this silly and
misguided girl how bold conduct such as
hers will lose for her the best and high

that they staggered belief and swayed in j
the wind; hospitals. ' hotels, banks,
libraries, cathedrals, great acreages ofi
rock and gravel turned Into green urn-,
brageous playgrounds for a free people.
He showed them department stores teem
ing with life, vast terminal stations, tun
nels passing under broad rivers, great
libraries, free to rich and poor alike.
The waters of whole countlea coaxed by
one miracle after another into one city
to keep its millions healthy and clean.
And they stood with him upon the bridge
of a warship and passed from the world's
second ocean to its first, through the In
credible ditch, which capital was to
build, and which men already called the
Panama canal.
And then he showed tbem some of tha
failures of capital men . and women
starving in hundreds, rotting of diseases
or perishing of sheer disappointment and
despair. Bread tines, soup kitchens ha
showed them; roofless men dying of ex
posure. And then In swift dashes he
showed them, standing upon a soap box
at the corner of a slum, a man in tat
tered rags, with the forehead of the first
Napoleon and the lion-roar voice of M Ira
beau a man who spoke to the wretched
And the unfortunate, and the Idle and the
mischievous, and filled their hearts with
fire and passion and hate.
He showed those same men, armed with
guns, with poles, with hatoheta, with
hammers, stopping a limousine on Fifth
avenue, dragging out an old man In a
fur-llued coat, and hanging him. more
dead than alive, to the nearest lamp post.
He showed tbem that same crowd, ever
growing In numbers and anger, tearing
policeman to pieces; he showed them
banks and other strongholds of capital
that rose suddenly heavenward In puffs
of sordid-smelling gray smoke, and were
not. He showed them short sieges. In
which for a while rifles flashed from the
windows of lHfth avenue palaces. He
showed them these same palaces a few
minutes ister, turned Inside out, hair In
ruins, the defenders mangled upon the
sidewalks. And, ever growing In power
and leadership, he kept showing them
the man with the head of Napoleon and
the lion-roar voice of Mirabeau.
He ahowed them a city of pedestrians,
a city through which neither carriages
nor automobiles' could move, so great
was the ruin In Its streets, above which
crawled no elevated trains, beneath
which no subways ran, a city In which
no statues or things of beauty remained
whole, a city given over at night to dark
ness, drunkenness, murder and rapine.
And he showed them themselves fleeing
by night, in disguise, a price upon them,
dead or alive; and he showed them the
Napoleon-Mlrabaau bringing order out of
chaos, and preparing to hold what ha bad
