"Most of the annoyances of lite are caused by friends," writes James Montgomery Flagg in the American Magazine. "It doesn't annoy you when your enemy tries to get you in bad. You don't e;Epect anytbtag else from him. It'e his regular business. You'd feel that he was a pretty lmeasly sort of enemy if he didn't try to punc- ture one of your tires! Then you can think and speak about him as a leprous horned toad. But you can't think or sneak about a friend that way when Le gets under your skin, He's your friend! That's all there is to it -he did it, and he's a feeble minded; anteater. but he's still your friend! "Only a dear friend wetild greet you when you're feeling peculiarly gay, end fit with, `Sa•a-ay! What's the trou- ble? You look positively green, old horse! Don't you feel well? You ought to take a long rest, that's right; I don't like that hollow eyed look of yours, perhaps it's your heart.' "Or come up behind you when you ore looking calmly at some old prints In a window on the avenue and. forget- ting there are such things in the world as idiotic friends, and let his enormous fiat nine pound hand down on you be- tween your shoulders r+o that you think for the moment•tbat a prehistoric mule with hoofs on hien the size of the rub- bish receptacles on the corners has planted them in the interior of your lungs! Only a friend could inspire such diabolical and stretrnieg hatred that rises up In the wreck of your breast. when you manage to turn and see what hit you! "Or if you happen to ask certain friends to go motoring several times and have them to dinner quite often, and you let two or three Sundays go by without asking them, It is only dear friends who would, on meetiug you next time. greet you with a Hudson Ray eipression and a bucket of sar- i -am: "Or, speaking of the sex that is re- sponsible for all the poets. who but a true and tried friend would put over to her friend. 'Oh. Camille, you were such a pretty girl as a young girl, and you did have the loveliest clothes!'" Miss Georgina Dulmage, of Detroit, is this week visiting at the home of Mr. W. J. Greer.

Not many persons know what was the origin of the strange name borne by the Canadian city that Mr. Rud - yard Kipling once called "the city born lucky." The word "medicine" means more to an Indian than to us. We think of it as meaning something nasty that is good for us. but the Indian distinguishes as "good medicine" and "bad medicine" anything that he fancies will change his fortunes for better or for worse. Imagine that Lo is hunting antelope and meeting with no success. Pres- ently he finds an empty cartridge shell or the top of a tomato tin, and shortly afterward he gets a shot at his game. Can he doubt that the piece of tin or the shell gave the luck? Not he. He wears that fragment of tomato tin or empty shell about his neck with his other jewelry, and it is "good medi- cine." Several years ago there was a Black- foot chief who lived in the vicinity of Seven Persons River, where now stands the city of Medicine Hat. He and his tribe were fond of hunting and of making war on their enemies, the Crees. This chief always wore a head- dress of feathers that he called his "medicine hat," for be thought that it brought him good fortune. It was a dark day for the chief when. he last met the Crees at the place where now stands the growing city. He and his men fell upon the enemy with great bravery and even put them to ignominious flight. But just then a gust of wind whirled out of the west; caught the magic bat and tossed it into the swift running Saskatchewan river. Instantly the poor chief lost all confidence in himself and his cause, and with victory in his hand he for- bore to grasp it, but fled over the plains toward the Rockies, followed by his tribe. -Youth's Companion.

When Voltaire was living in London" a crowd gathered to mob him as he passed along the street For what -rea- son? Because he was a Frenchman. Boldly confronting the mob, he mount- ed a stone and addressed them. "Brave Englishmen," he cried, "am I not suffi- ciently unhappy in not having been born among you?" This speech was so effective that the crowd carried him on their shoulders to his lodgings. His Comparison. "When you eat be careful to leave off hungry," is advice that is very often given to children at the dinner table, but seldom received in an obedient spirit.
