FRIENDSHIP OF MAN TO MAN

What is greater than the friendship that exists among men? The young Grand Rapids man had carefully explained that he must go to Kalamazoo, but declared that he would surely be back for 7 o’clock dinner as usual. He did not return as per schedule. The hours dragged by and his wife became anxious. Finally she telegraphed to six of her husband’s friends in Kalamazoo, asking them if the missing man was there. With the dawn came a farmer’s wagon, dragging in a broken down motor car and the husband. Almost at the same moment a messenger boy arrived with six telegrams, and all of them read: “Yes, Walter is passing the night with me.”
