How toMake Friends
By IRENE GARDNER.
Often you come across people who
complain that they have but few
friends. They will point to other
people who have many and wonder
why such a distinction is made.
The matter is easy enough to ex
plain, for, as someone has well said,
"The only way to have a friend is to
be one.'.'
For friendship cannot possibly be a
one-sided matter. Just as it takes
two to make a bargain or a quarrel,
so does it take the same number to
make a friendship.
No one can stand aloof from oth
ers, waiting to be sought, without ex
periencing keen disappointment. This
because friendships are not made that
way. People do not look you over as
you stand off by yourself and say:
"Now, there's someone I'd like to
know. I'll make a point to draw him
or her out and take all the pains pos
sible to establish a friendship."
"That's not the way it happens in
real life, although some still imagine
that it is. . What really does happen
it this: Two people meet, and grad
ually they find points of congeniality,
gradually each does little favors for
the other, gradually a feeling of affec
tion takes root in each heart. Neither
one is thinking of what can be gained
from the acquaintance; rather, each is
thinking and planning to give instead
of take. In other words, both are
trying to be a friend unselfishly. And,
lo, it is the very thing which makes
their friendship.

"Some Day I'll Own Him.
T WAS line who looked out of "The Limited" streaking through tiny
JL towns whose upturned faces went by like a Peter Newell ribbon
roaring over the shining country streams that went on shining and
talking just as though the shadow of the great, black train, so speedy
and so wonderful, did not lay upon them; racing by quiet woods,
where I could see for a marvel minute a tiny picture of cool, green
gloom and splattering flowers, tinging out into the open under the
clear hive bell of the sky, tmoke streaking from the head of the great
serpent. I was one, and I thought a lot; I did not eat quite all the
time. One does that thing on boats and trains. Here is one thing I
aw and thought about in picture language.
Out we hummed, from the narrow corridor that lay in the woods.
Do You Know That
During the twelve months lust fin
ished, the British and Foreign Bible
society distributed 11,000,000 Bibles
and parts, printed in 497 different
tongues?
Every grave at the front is marked
by a simple cross, with name, regi
ment and date of burial recorded?
Accurate surveys are kept of every
burial ground.
In the tropics there is a little mim

The Heavens in August
I could see the engine ahead, a great black creature looking straight
ahead, its tiny head on its great round body, going its thunderous
way, the very rails under us chanting, "T' N'York T N'York!" and
never a word else. I, a little rider on this marvel blacksnake, watched
the fields flow by. At last a great rolling meadow raced into sight.
It was green, summery and wide, drifted over for miles with the
snow of daisies that bowed in the wind. Behind it great oaks, far off,
marked where a stream ran coolly. The blue sky was a-tumble with
white clouds. Birds came winging from the far distance of woods.
And there, far out, in the great world of waist-high daisies, a lone
ly speck in the fields? sat, half-buried, a little farmer boy, in the dull
blue of overalls and the sweeping brim of sunhat. He was watching
the train go by, aloof, remote.. There was something of grandeur.

something kingly, in his lone little figure; and I had an uncanny little
feel of exultation as though, "by the Grace or God," I had been for
tunate enough to look on the babyhood of a president.
Perhaps the little lips I could not see from so far, said soberly,
forgetting the daisies that swept his little leg: "SOME DAY I'LL
OWN THAT RAILROAD."
Later we rushed intimately above a little green door yard, where
a baby girl, under the cool of a tree in her "peram" talked to her
self. It was far away from the little blue figure with the motionless
intentness, buried in his daisies 500 miles away but I wondered if
she didn't say in her baby language, while she ate her hemstitched
bonnet string, "SOME DAY I'LL OWN HIM I"
NELL BRINKLEY.
By WILLIAM F. RIGGE.
There are only two events of mi
nor interest this month in the heav.
ens. But as both take place in the
early morning hours most of us will
content ourselves with missing them.
The first is that the beautiful planet
Venus, which a few months ago was
such a gem in our evening skies, is
now an equally beautiful ornament in
the morning and reaches its greatest
brilliance on the 9th, when it rises at
i:it a. m.
"The second is an eclipse, technically
an occupation, ot the planet Saturn
hv the mnnn on thi. mnrnina- nf th
25th. Occultations of bright stars and
especially ot planets have been very
rare of late years, the last one visible
in Omaha having been that of Anta
res on June 26, 1912. And even this
one is only half a one, so. to speak
because the moon will rise at 2:39 a.
m, with Saturn hidden behind it, so
that we shall be able to see only the
reappearance of the planet from be
hind the moon at 3:16 a. m. The hour
may be inconveniently early, but there
is no changing that, lhe moon will
be a fine crescent low down in the
east northeast. N. S. E. W. are its
cardinal points in the annexed figure.
T is on top and P the place on the
dark edge where the planet will re
appear. The days are becoming shorter bv

To Make Housework Easier
Women interested in securing new
equipment for their homes will be
glad to know of an up-to-date laun
dry asset, consisting of a well-made
oak table with a hinged top. In the
box formed under the top is fastened
an adjustable board fitted to a rod
held by screw eyes in such a way that
it requires only a moment to bring I
out me poara over tne table top. I he
board is' stationary and steady, and
also comes fitted with a sleeve board.
It is particularly useful in the home
where space must be conserved, or
where ironing is done in the kitchen,
as it combines a regular kitchen table
with a concealed ironing board.
Foods attractively decorated or ser
ved encourage appetite. It takes but!
a tew moments to scallop foods artis
tically, and there is on the market a
small pincher-like scalloper which
will find many uses in the kitchen.
It can be used to scallop halves of
muskmelon, cucumber cups, orange
baskets, etc. So many foods are
served thus in salad form, where the
curved or fluted edge is more attrac
tive. This small scalloper has been
well known for a number of years to
chefs, but is jirst being put out for
home use. Here it may also be said
that there should be a wider use of
the so-called French vegetable cut
ters. These cost only about a dime
apiece and consist of small cones, at
the tip of which there is some particu
lar pattern.
No matter how careful the hnnse.
wife is indoors or how many plans
sne tries ot fly extermination, the use
of an out-door fly trap is wise. A
good, serviceable wire trap is globe
like in shape, mounted on a steady
metal pan; an inner partition divides
the trap or bait. Flies enter from be
low and then in their effort to escape,
go through a small opening into the
Mipper chamber, from which they can
not get out. buch a trap is to be
placed near an outjoor closet, gar
bage pail, etc. The flies can readily
be killed by immersing the trap in
boiling water. Another advantage is
that such trap catches the larger and
more dangerous "bluebottle" and
"horseflies," which should be exterm
inated, but which are not reached by
ordinary house preventions.
There is another labor-saving de
vice, that makes floor scrubbing a
"lady's job." This is a floor scrubber
that propels itself, noiselessly and
with uncany efficiency. It departs radi
cally trom the suction or vacuum
type of cleaner. A s.nall electric mo
tor is attached to the (ower end of a
long iron handle, and as the motor
spins . it rotates a circular brush
which can be applied with any de
sired pressure to the floor surface.
Behind the brush and motor are two
little rubber-tired wheels, which not
only act as a rolling equipment for
the carriage, but also serve as a lever
for regulating the presure of the ro
tating bristles against the floor.

come to know them.
Just in front of us were sitting two
little girls. They were of the warm,
vivid southern type Italian children,
I fancy. They were shabbily dressed,
but they had cheery, sunshiny, good'
natured faces. One of them carried
a great .bunch of spring flowers and
the other one had a single spray of
lilacs in her hands. It happened that
I was wearing some wonderful roses
which a friend" had given me. But
the "New England woman" had no
flowers.
Suddenly the little girl who carried
the single spray of lilacs smiled shyly
and proffered it to my neighbor. The
woman flushed and shook her head
rather stiffly But the child's smile
was warm and friendly. "Please take
it, lady," said she. "All the rest of
us has flowers."
And New England reserve melted
before southern warmth. The woman
blushed, took the spray of lilacs and
pinned it on her coat.
