ANOTHER
FIRESIDE

Rev. DR.. Huckel in a recent sermon
said he always liked certain boy S COM
prehensiye definition of a friend as be-
ing one "who knew all about you and
still liked you.
Close following the clergyman re-
marks came an illumiped card from wo-
man friend of many years acquaintance
Upon il were inscribed the words: II
love Won because you love the things |
love.
Combined. the two seemed to cover very
fully the pleasant relation of friendship;
friends being those, well acquainted, who
rejoice in one another's good qualities,
who are tolerant of one another short
comings and who possess the same tastes.
We doubt vely much if there can ever be
any permanent, close friendships that are
not founded upon congeniality of tastes.
Take two persons who love open hearth
fires-it is real bond between them. F.
Hopkinson Smith in his delightful story,
The Armchair at the Inn,' make one
man who loves fire say TO another:
There is one thing you are good for, if
nothing else. and that is to keep a fire
going. If | wanted to find you and there
was chimney within a mile, | d be sure
you were sitting in front of the hearth
with the tongs in your hand. - That is
the way real hearth-fre worshipers feel
about the lure of a blazing log. II draws
them irresistibly. The mere sight of curl
ing smoke, the pervasiye scent of burning
hickory-they attract even as the silver
moon attracts the emerald sea. When a
fire worshipper finds a fellow enthusiast,
their souls warm to one another. the tongs
pass socially from hand to hand-''I love
you because you love the things l love,
Is the tie. Though they come from East
and West they are affinities in the glow
OF the ingle nook.
This week two women who love open
fires were guests in home where culture
and wealth has environed the whole with
beauty, but the first pleasurable impress
sion conveyed TO them was not the art
and beauty of the residence-that stole
upon them by degrees, as beauty of en-
vironment should-but of the charm of
a log-wood fire burning upon the hearth.
Its incense greeted them with the open
ing OF the portal. its glow was welcoming
as the smile upon the lips of the hostess.
To the fire worshipers it was the symbol
OF the hospitality extended and it gave
them equal joy Small wonder they are
friends.
And then. too, the boy definition,
.'one who knows all about YOU and Yet
likes you. - Why. to the old, tried friend
the rattling bones of all the family skel-
ctons in all the ancestral closets in the
world are a. nothing. make no difference.
Somehow such friends have gripped you,
or you have gripped them, with the hooks
OF steel commended by Polouius and in
their hold you feel delightfully."- at anchor
in a safe harbor.
Such is the only friendship worthy the
name. the only friendship worth cult
waiting. worth admitting TO your inner
life. Prove yourself this sort of a friend
10 even a few and be astonished at the
responsive friendships that will soon en-
circle vou.-BGltjmpre San.

WOMEN HAVE NOT
CALLED CONVENTION
Have Decided to Bolt But VIII Make
No Announcement for Several
Days.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
BOSIE, idaho. Sept 13-The ex-
pected call for a woman's republican
state convention to nominate state,
county and congressional tickets had
not been made today. With the an
nouncement that ticket composed
entirely Of women was to be put In
the field there was decided furry
among politicians and definite action
is being anxiously awaited.
1t has developed that the movement
for woman.s ticket resulted not only
from the wrangling of the Roosevelt
and Taft factions in the republican
party, but because several candidates
nominated on the regular republican
ticket in the primaries later announ-
ced they were Roosevelt men. In this
way the women allege the voters have
been "double-crossed.
Although their failure to promptly
call a state convention threatened
has resulted in some soothing on the
part Of men, the women leaders are
still following their declaration to
bolt. They declare their plans will
be definitely announced within a few
days.
