our pals. Someday we may realise What a mistake it is. So for ever remember that the older We get the harder it is to form real friendship. After school and college days are over, at least after the tWenties are past other motives enter into our associatâ€" ions and the qualities and contribut- ions of real friendship are not as pure in motive. THE PRICE OF FRIENDSHIP ' Amongst the very precious things i We possess, perhaps it is our friends I we neglect the most. It is so easy to let them slip through our fingers one by one, until the day arrives when we find ourselves Wondering what has be l come of them. We may be so ab~‘ sorbed in our work, in building up a business, and amassing a. fortune, that we spare little time and effort for} EYES and EARS' Now, if we would héve friends we must be friendly. We must, as I have referred, give time to our friends and a. place for them must be made in our thoughts. We cannot learn any- thing, or master any subject Without giving it considerable attention. We can not have much of a garden unless we cultivate it. Yet there age those who imagine they can neglect their friends, think solely of themselves; and are surprised and hurt when the past is brought home to them that the friendships once so strong, helpful and satisfying have ceased to exist. How many friends have you? I mean those to whom you can pour out all that is in you. Have you one person with Whom you can have a good grouse in complete confidence? One who always cheers you, and under- stands you. Take few chances with such, cultivate them, go more than half way with them, have a cup of tea, pass a cigaretteâ€"find time for them. ' We find out our real friends when our luck is out. When we were pr0s- perous we felt We were loved for what we Were, and not for the crumbs fall- ing from the table. Perhaps the day came when the lime light did not play upon us, we were obliged to keep down, and we found they were not quite so anxious to be friendlyâ€"and We began to wonder Whether they ever really cared as all. But we must even remember that our friends are not a form of insurance against popularity, and maybe if We down't expect too much we shall be surprised in the days of adversity. Remember what we owe our friends. The women that have inspired us; the man who gave us a chance, possibly the first bit of business that meant so much at the time. The old folk who gave us a welcome to this and that place, Whose homely comforts we have ceased to need. Maybe we have neglected them a little. Its a long time since we saw them, why not write a letter. They are older, 3 little stern perhaps about certain modern tendencies; but remember the advices we used to note on a match box “rub lightly” it is the only way to kindle a flame. We so seIdOm get to understand our ‘ friends when they are cross and irri- | table. We do not see that things may be hard at times if we knew their ' trouble, the weariness of their work,’; the sheer dull monotomy of some lives the same old job, the same of old; street car, the same old rush, morning 1 and night, to retire as night wearied out, and the same old rush all over again the next day. So it is year' after year, at the same old machine, I the same old typewriter, or it is the same old farm on some dull concession ‘r, road, toil, toil and more toil, no read- ' ing, no contact with other minds, and only the same old trip to town. It is 5 the consideration and understanding of ‘ these facts that keep the flame of friendship right. The higher on climbs the lonelier one becomesâ€"Its the price we pay for advanced position. The loneliest man on the ship is the captain, He walks the bridge alone, he has no equals. PHONE CITY, HUDSON 8527 RICHMOND HILL 30-1 Ol=0=01 Ft.

RUMNEY (By Elsie Ess) The office staff work together and have so much in common, While the manager sits in his palatial office a- bove. The soldier enjoys his comrad- esâ€"but the general walks alone, with his inferiors a little to the rear. Per- haps the bitterest cup the successful are called upon to drink is the lone- liness there position entails. Every- thing has its price, especially success. Again, to have friends we must pay the price, and the price is for the most part paid in time, thought and under- Recently, I overheard echoes of that persistent evolutionary theory in re- gard to man’s ancestryâ€"“Man is de- scended from Monkeys" said one. A- nother, a little nearer to the thesis of Charles Darwin, claimed that men and monkeys share a common ancestry. So least, in one respect the monkey must be the father of us all-and that, is in the matter of imitation. We owe so much to our powers of imitationâ€"A child apes everything he sees. You take him for a drive, and for the next We(.l( he plays horses or automobiles, you take him on a rail- way train and for a week afterwards all the chairs are arranged like rail- ‘way coaches; while he himself is the ‘engine, puffing and screaming without a moment intermission. Little boys ;imitate their elders, they walk like :them, try to brush their hair as their ‘daddies and bigger boys are want to 'do. The inmate desire to throw things on the part of small boys, is strongly reminiscent of monkeys in the palm: {tree throwing cocoanuts, just for the sake of throwingâ€"youths do what the older men do, they imitate their langâ€" uage, profane or otherwise. Little (girls mimic their elders, in dress, coiffure and manners. Small girls of ten or eleven want to do just what mother does; mind babies, cook and bake, sew and keep house. It is true ithat at fourteen and for a few years after she has no desire to do a single thing that mother does. It is just 'then that she imitates anybody but l‘mother. Now it is an older sister or a young aunt. More often it is Lsome movie or talkie starâ€"she imit- iates the actress in walk and talk, in {her style in clothes and gestures, and iher one increasing passion is to be a (Clara Bow, Beatrice Lillie, or a Gloria lSwanson. Later when all these imi- itations die a natural death; and she has a home 01‘ her own, she imitates {her more fortunate sisters in that a larger percentage of the family income is invested in cheap chesterfields and .draperies, and all the pathetic imit~ patrons of the palatial interiors depict. . . l led in the women’s magaZInes. Whether the power of mimicry, es- pecially as exhibited in the younger folk, is heredity I am not prepared to say. However, should you happen to visit a new baby, and offer your first finger, it is likely that the tiny tot will hold your finger with a most tenacious grasp, in fact, it is almost possible for a new born infant to lift its own weight. So strange is its gripâ€"the most limited imagination can see in this act a hang over from a possible monkey ancestry. This ability to grasp cylindrically is at least suggestive of the skill whereby the monkey grasps and hangs onto the branches of trees. Not for a moment do I advise you to tell all this to the proud young mother~â€"-the result may be disadvantageous for you. The very language we speak is an limitation. The child calls the cow a ‘moo-moo; the ‘dog a bow-wow; the |duck a quack-quack; the rooster a jcock-a-doodle-do; the clock a tick-tick; ‘ and a train a puff-puff. As We grow older we Speak-of the hum of theibee; the click of the gate; and the whiz of machinery; the chirp of the grassâ€" hopper; the twitter of the sparrow; the hiss of the snake; the boom of the cannon; the roar of thunder; the tramp of armies; and so in sound We imitate zeverything. Here and there we find a man who prides himself on his originality, gen- erally he shows individualistic tenden- cies only in a few directionsâ€"401' the rest he curls his tail around the branches of trees Very much like any other ape. It is only that he twists it round in a slightly different way. Somebody has said “If you scratch a Russian you will find a tartar”â€"may- be if you scratch a man long enough you will find a gorilla or a chimpanzee. This is all biolgical; a little over thirty years ago Frederick Nietzeche having read all that Schmid and Nag- eli had to say about mimicry in nature came to the conclusion that something more might he said; so Nietzeche raisâ€" ed the question “Does not the ape in the soul of man taint and distore his morality?” Is it possible that, just as many animals in order not to be deâ€" tected by their enemies imitate and assume the colour of their environ- ment; so man through fear of his en- last Thursday with only fourteen pre- sent, but will have to do better than that in the future.

FOR COAL 0R WOOD, phone 188, The Jones Coal Company, successors to John Sheardown.‘ I "MONKEY BU SINESS" emies, may adopt the opinions moral and otherwise of the crowd. All too numerous is that vast body of folks whose opinions about this, that and everything are the identical View, of the last person with Whom they have held conversation. They speak loud- ly of their convictions, when really they are not convictions at allâ€"Rathâ€" er they are prejudices, and pOSSibly this forms the least attractive form of imitation which in itself is far from flattering. Eventually, the time comes when imitation falls into the background. and the dominant desire is to be one‘s own simple self. All the mimicry of previous years is ground through the mill of one's personality and the result is high originalityâ€"the older we become the more is this condition an evidenceâ€"No longer does the lad wish to throw stones or cocoanuts; no longer the maid assumes the style, manners, and curls of Mary Pickford. Gone is the inordinate desire to furn- ‘ish every room of the house after the lmanner of those demonstrated in the “Ladies Home Journal.” Not for a moment will a man swallow in large gulps every opinion expressed in the barber shop, garage, hotel lobby and other places where men foregather. Rather the individual rejoices in the accumulated experienCe of a goodly number of years on this planetâ€"for- ming as it does the basis of his tho-uâ€" ght and judgment. Wheever saw very much originality in the ably young? It belongs to maturity. The consequence is,,we observe in the old- er person leSS monkey, not nearly so much mimicry, but far more man. 6th LINE NEWS Holiday makers are many in this community this Week.
