Many a hearttreak has been caused by 8 misunderstanding of the two terms and what they denote. An intimate friend is one who is par- ticularly congenisl, one who has simi- lar likes and dislikes or who is so to- tally different that one friend gives to A PERSON SELDOM MEANS ANY HARM WHEN SHE LETS SOME SECRET LEAK OUT ABOUT_ A FRIEND, BUT SHE MAY DO * GREAT HARM. another the things that are lacking in each. It is strange, but it is true, that there are friendships bui., on dissimi- larities of mind and temperament as well as on similarities. Exchange of confi- dences does not necessarily enter into such & friendship. If it does, and one Teveals the secrets of the heart, of the family, of money matters, or of other | influence must have reserves, if the intimacy is to be of lifelong existence. A confidential friend is one whose judgment is felt to be essential in some particular matter. There are confiden- tial business friends, confidential legal friends, etc. A &lmr is expected to be a confidential friend to his parishioners. ‘They are expected to find in him an ad- viser on things spiritual especially, but frequently the pastor has to hear much of family joys and troubles, of financial | difficulties and problems. He is false to | his charge if he divulges what is tald him in confidence. He is a confidant, and the secrets he holds are sacred. A lawyer who has charge of a family estate, or of other legal business often becomes a friend as well as an adviser in his professional capacity. Then he is a confidential friend. His advice is sought when difficulties arise that are in his line, and those who Intrust their secrets to him rely upon his business honor not to divuige what he knows. He is a professional friend, and his advice' ‘| is valued and paid for. A doctor is a confidential friend. His patients have to have faith in his pro- fessional wisdom and is prudence, if he is to ald them to health. He gets to know family secrets, not because he wants to, but because he cannot avold it. The environment and human factors, lus the patient’s reactions to them, is health. Unless a physi- clan understands something of these elements he is handicapped in his treatment. He becomes a confidential friend. ‘These are examples of confidential friendships. It will be seen that they are quite apart from social intimacies. There is a reason why the persons are | confided in, and it is part of their code of ethics never to tell to outsiders the things that they know. With social friendships there is no clearly defined code of ethics to govern their speech. They tell what they like of, and about, the persons they know. One who exercises wisdom and knows when and what to say is termed dis- creet. It takes a certain understanding to become discreet. and many there are who lack discretion. So beware of being too confidential with intimate friends. They seidom mean to harm when they tell the secrets intrusted to them, but secrets are hard to keep. You know the saying that when three per- sons know a secret that III, or 111, know it also. Intimacies do not thrive upon confidences, but upon congenialities, (Copyright, 1930.) }iot Tamales, Add just enough boiling water to one pint of corn meal and half a teaspoon- ful of sait to make & thick paste.

Egret the Great White Heron had been shot, One wing had been injured 80 that he could not fly. It had been done by & two-legged killer with.a ter- rible gun. He couldn't bear to see any- thing so beautiful live, so he tried to kill Egret, just because he was so un- usual and so lovely. He had been again by the approach of Farmer Brown's Boy. The hunter had taken to a_boat and had rowed across the Big River. Now, of course, Egret didn't know EGRET DREW BACK HIS HEAD AND PREPARED TO FIGHT. who had shot him. He simply knew that it was one of those two-legged creatures. _And when presently Farmer Brown’s Boy discovered him, Egret blamed him for all that had happened. He thought 1t was Farmer Brown's | Boy who had shot him with that ter- | zible gun. Like all members of the Heron fam- 1ly, Egret has a long and very sharp bill. He has a bill that no one cares t be struck with. When he saw | Farmer Brown's Boy approaching, Egret drew back his head and pre- do this. Thim if necessary and steam for one hour. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Now, Farmer Brown's Boy saw that Egret was pared to fight. He knew just how dangerous that bill was. It wouldn't do _to let Egret strike with that. No, sir, it wouldn't do all. What couid he do to avoid it? “I wish I had my coat here,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “If I had my coat it would be easy to capture Egret. I have to have something to throw over his head.” Farmer Brown's Boy thought for a minute or two and then grinned, as he began’ to pull his shirt off. He would throw that shirt over Egret's head and then would be able to seize him and hold onto that long bill. Of course, Egret didn't know what Farmer Brown’s Boy was planning to do. He looked as fierce as he knew how and as Farmer Brown’s Boy drew near he struck once like a flash. Farmer Brown's Boy- dodged and then tossed his shirt over Egret’s head. How Egret tried and tried to shake it off. He twisted and turned and he flapped his one good wing, but it was all in vain. In spite of his struggles, Farmer Brown’s Boy soon had him in his 5. “It's all right,” said Farmer Brown's Booy soothingly. “It's all right, old fellow. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm going to try to save you. I pre- sume you think that I am the cause of all your trouble. But I'm not.” Egret is no coward. Had it not been for that shirt which covered his head and, therefore, made’ it W' sible for him to use that great of his, he would have fought as long as he had breath. But when he real how helpless he was, he stopped strug- gling. That was the wise thing to do. There was nothing to be gal by struggling helplessly. Farmer Brown's Boy took great care not to hurt that injured wing as he gathered Egget in his arms. He kept the shirt over Egret's head until he | got & good grasp of that long bill with one hand. Then he shook the shirt loose, so that it would not smother the big_white bird. “We're all right now, old fellow,” said he. “We'll head for home now. We'll see what we can do for that wing when we get there and then we’ll make you as comfortable as we can. But you’ll have to be a pgsoner for a while. You'll have to be prisoner un- til you can use that wing.” pared to fight. “I'll aim for one of his eyes,” thought Egret. MODEST (Copyright, 1930.) MAIDENS Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG, July 18, 1814.—After considering the dden’selm condition of the City of Washington in the face of the British, who are again in the Patuxent River with naval vessels and trained troops, the city council,®at a special session cailed by the mayor, appointed a ‘com- mittee to call on the President of the United States and urge that some ad- ditional measures of defense be taken without further delay. Aecording to the journal of the common council, under today’s date, the committee appointed to call on Presi- dent Madison consists of the following gentlemen, in addition to the mayor: Dr. James H. Blake, Elias B. Caldwell, Daniel Carroll of Duddington, Buller Cocke, Walter Jones, jr, and Thomas Munroe. Many persons familiar with military matters have called attention to what they regard as a vital defect in the plan for defending Washington City by means of the local militia only. This defect is declared to be the policy, which has been followed up to this time, of calling out the militia only at the last minute, when a serious attack seems to be threatened. Under this plan, the troops, appear- ing on the field in expectation of bat- tle after a great rush from their homes or places of business, are usually ex- hausted, and often worn out by long marches in the hot weather, to which they have not been accustomed by previous training. Often, also, they have been found to be without proper food and shelter and in no condition to meet the enemy. Several times ~before during this Summer the militia of the District of Columbia has been called out in a great hurry under these conditions when it has appeared that the British were likely to march upon the Capital City from the Patuxent River. The result has been that the troops have been kept, as it were, running back and forth from the field to their homes. The lack of a well thought-out plan for the defense of the city in case the British make a serious attempt to cap- ture it is felt to be alarming by many military men who are acquainted with the actual state of affairs. Today the militia is again in the field, having marched off toward U] Marlborough, but it is recognized by the city council that they alone cannot hold back the trained Britisi regular SUB ROSA BY MIML Marriage and Foot Ball. At a recent conference of clergymen a speaker said that marriage should te more than a foot ball e. In other words, he insinuated that marriage was a foot ball game. It seems to me that he took a pessimistic view of the sitva- tion and that his comparison was in- accurate. Foot ball is my favorite sport. Leav- ing aside the fine points of the game, I like the glamour of it. But there are some very great differences between foot ball and marriage. In foot ball there are cheer leaders on the side lines. I should say that there are jeer leaders in the sphere of matrimony. Of course, we ought w0 boost marriage instead of knocking it. But the old maid who can’t get married knocks it, the divorcee who has made & fizzle of it knocks it, the unhappily married couple knocks it. Altogether the jeers far outnumber the cheers. As a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with marriage itself. As an in- stitution it has endured since the dawn of human relations. It will endure until the end in spite of chronic critics. The trouble is with individuals who fall to measure up to it. Of course, kicking is s prominent feature of foot ball as well as in some marriages. But kicking is a universal failing—whether married or unmarried. We all kick a little. It is only when the traces are kicked over that a results in an un- happy fallure, is generally done people who marry too soon, or by middle-aged people who act like im- mature and irresponsible youngsters, and the latter are more of a menace to matrimonial happiness than the young- sters, for there is some for the immature, but very little for the others. It seems to me that the so- “divorce problem” will exist as long as human beings marry. After all, human beings are human beings. The imper- fections of human nature in ordinary mortals will, unfortunately, continue to result in divorces. Judges, lawyers and the social coien- tists of the world have attempted to solve the problem, with little success. ‘To be successful would require them to possess the ability to make human na- ture perfect. I m‘mfx! were more like & foot ball game—if there were penaities for playing “offside”—it seems to me we would more often reach the goal of happiness. USBANDRY ‘The farmer’s lot is full of woe, we hear him sadly weeping; in Spring he Journeys forth to sow, and cannot bank on reaplig. The elements are in ca- hoots to make him feel disgusted; some blight will kill his orchard fruits, his wheat will all be rusted. And if per- chance he has a crop, in spite of all his yelling, the market price is sure to drop on everything he's selling. We hear much of the farmer's grief and great men plan like thunder on how to bring some relief and tear his bonds asunder. The way he gets it in the neck is something quite indecent, and we are led to think, by heck, that all this woe is recent. But there was never yet a time when his sad lot seemed charming, and farming always seemed a crime to those who do the farming. I farmed some forty years ago, I tilled the virgin prairie; and every day was soaked in woe, and life seemed far from merry. The things the farmer had for sale in those days long departed, brought such a sickly show of kale that he was broken hearted. Twelve cents a bushel was the price of corn in town delivered; which made his bosom feel like ice, his weary heartstrings quiv- ered. Eight cents a dozen paid for eggs, which made him sigh and holler; he had to fill five pails or kegs, if he'd take in a dollar. If he would sell & good fat hen, he only got a quarter; what wonder if the farmer then was quite a chronic snorter? And all the standard pests were there, to kill off all things growing, and with one hand I tore my hair, with t'other did my sowing. The farmer and the farmer's frau have griefs too large to mention, but no one can convince me now that they're a late invention.

You mite have werse ambitions, and you proberly have, pop sed. Words are the most important and powerful things in the world, and a_conscientious dic- tionerry has them all. Before the in- vention of words men had to communi- cate their thawts by grunts and bites and kicks in the shins, but now the various educated peeples of the werld can write long abusive letters to each other before they drop high explosives on each others cities.

A few short werds from a young snip in a bank, such as, Your account is overdrawn, are sufficient to send the | most unemotional man into peals of hysterical laffter.

An instinct is supposed to be an in- born tendency to react in a definite sort of way to particular sorts of things. Instinct” as an explanation of the Wwhys of human conduct is undergoing the ordeal of resurrection. One psy- chologist after another reviews the prob- ability of these psychological gl osts, ranks them in the order of their ap- parent importance and proceeds to us why' who is what and what of it. One noted psychologist surveys the race of men and decides that there are three, and only three, great instincts: The ego instinct, ‘the herd instinct and the sex instinct. Every other instinct is some derivative of these or some combination of the derivatives taken two or three or four at a time. Such a theory, of course, paves the way for about any explanation you want to make in regard to human conduct. The whole trouble with instinct psy- chology is the plain fact that there are no real instincts. What for so many years was called instinct is now sald to be extinct. The reason isn't far to seek, Psychology is’ now on the outside looking in, rather' than on the inside looking out. It has begun to put the emphasis where it be- | longs. People don't do what they do because they are urged from within, but be- cause they are driven from without. In other words, one’s environmental situ- ations are more impelling than one’s inborn drives. If we knew more about the world in which a given individual lives, we would have less use for all these so-called instincts which were once accepted without question. (Copyright, 1930.)
