AWOMAN'S OBSERVATIONS.
By Edna K. wooley.)

.sShe is such a fortunate woman-she
knows so many nice people salo Ohe
in speaking of a mutual acquaintance
so different from So-and-So,' con-
wrong with everybody she knows. She
seems to be so unfortunate in picking
her friends
isn't it queer how some people are
50 fortunate in having good friends and
others never seem to get acquainted
with the right sort Pm, remarked the
first speaker. s- 80 = s
Now it happened that both the wo-
men discussed counted a number of the
same people among their friends 50
how could there be such difference
between the friends?
Then 1 remembered how the two
women usually spoke of their friends,
and the puzzle was solved
The first one, who seemed to know
SO many lovely people, was never
heard to speak of any but the good
points of those with whom she was ac-
quainted. To her, the finest people in
the world were her friends. She put
them upon a pedestal and never utter
ed an unkind sentiment or adverse
criticism concerning them.
The other woman, on the contrary, is
extremely critical, continually looking
for faults and always condemning when
her probing has at last found
something which is not up to her STAN
dard of perfection. In seeking to i'm
press her own worth upon others, she
Goes not hesitate to undervalue the
worth of others And whenever she
has deigned to give credit of any kind
to another. it has always been followed
with "but''-which destroys the former
impression.
Now, don't you see why it is that the
one is thought to be so fortunate in
knowing nice people, and the other is
pitied for not being able to gather the
right sort about her.
The reason doesn't lie with the
friends, but with the women them
selves. The one boosts and by increas-
ms the worth of those she knows adds
to her own value. The other knocks
and, though she thinks she enhances
her own virtues in so doing, is really
others.
And the first woman is really happy.
while the second is disconnected and
Why not be happy in your friends?
Why not consider them the most beau
tiful people in the world? Why not
look for the good points and spread
them abroad2 Why not express an
honest admiration of others?
What real satisfaction lies in decry-
ing those who are unfortunate enough
to be acquaintance of the too-critical?
They are fortunate who can close
their eyes to most of the failings in
their fellow human beings and who not
only can pardon, but refuse to believe
that there are any faults in those they
love or whose hands they have clasped
in friendship.

WHEAT CROP is SAVED.
Employment Bureau Head Withdraws
Call for Harvest Hands.

The 1912 wheat crop is safe and all
calls for harvest hands was today with
drawn by Charles Harris, director of
the state employment bureau. While
the harvest is still in progress, the
demand for harvesters has been met
and prospective employment seekers
may return home.
Because of the weather conditions
early in the season. the date of the
Kansas harvest was uncertain and the
ripening of the crop varied greatly in
different localities Early in the har-
vest, there was a heavy demand for
workers in the western Kansas wheat
fields In the last week additional
calls were issued. Now the farmers
have been supplied with help and the
calls for additional laborers is with
drawn.

FIRE BUDGET OUT
Chief Wilmarth Estimates 1918
Cost at $4,000.
This Is $4,000 Less Than Bud
get Plans for 1912.
HORSE APPARATUS DOOMED
For First Time in History De-
crease Is Shown.
Steamer and Aerial Truck for
North Topeka.
HORSE APPARATUS DOOMED

The fire horse is doomed in the To-
peka fire department. In the budget
for 1913, which will be presented to
the commissioners Monday, Chief Will
marth heralded the entrance of the
motor and the exit of the horse drawn
fire apparatus. For the first time in
a report in the history of the fire de-
partment the statement this year
shows a decrease in the number OF
horses in service. The motor fire
fighting machines tell the story.
Chief Wilmarth estimates that it
will take $4,000 less to run the fire
department and make the required
improvements next year than he figur-
ed out for this year. The budget es-
innate for 1918 is $72,637.45. The
fire marshaPs estimate for 1912 was
$77,06127. The city commissioners
whitfield the 1912 estimate to $4,000
The slicing process has not been ap-
piled to the estimate for 1913.
In all probability Mayor Billiard will
make an addition to the budget this
year instead of using the pairing knife.
Early in the summer the mayor Sig
nified his intention of purchasing a
motor fire engine for the fire service.
He is anxious to equip the North To-
peka station with an aerial truck and
a steamer. He believes. as Chief Viii
north does, that the north side OF the
river needs improved protection.
AS a result it is probable that the
MAYOR will recommend the purchase OF
a fire engine of the latest motor pat
tern.
ONLY One Motor Asked For.
Chief wilmarth asks for only one
niece of motor apparatus in this year
budget. This a motor tractor, hook and
ladder, for station No. 8. Alarms from
all parts of the city surrounding the
center sections bring out No. 3 COM
panies and the chief deems it neces-
sary to have motor power in that dis
trict. In nearly every case long
hard uphill pull drains the strength
and speed of the horses
In the preliminary paragraphs OF the
budget Chief Wilmarth predicts:
THE auto fire apparatus has come
to stay It is better in general eff
cheney, it develops greater speed, fires
are reached quicker and there is econ
omy in maintenance"
The fire marshal states that no NOR
horse drawn fire wagons will be pur-
chased for the Topeka department. All
new purchases will include the motors
The equipment summarized:
Six fire stations.
Fifty-four full paid employees.
Five night watch boys
Twenty-Five horses
Thirteen horse fire apparatus.
One motor com bination chemical hose
One chiefs motor.
One telegraph line wagon.
One chiefs buggy reserve.
Chief Wilmarth reviews this year his
recommendations for the station In
North Topeka. He would have an
aerial truck. a seam fire engine and
an addition to the building.

NUMBERS DOUBLED UP.
Accounts Partly for Assessors Failure
to Find All Cars Listed.

The report of persons attempting to
evade taxes as regards automobiles is tc
some extent explained today by L. D.
Humphrey. Mr.. Humphrey points out
numerous cases of people purchasing new
motor cars and latter moving away from
the city, taking their license number;
others taking out new license number
when buying a new car and discarding an
old number. Hence more license numbers
appear on the records than automobiles
in use. However, this does not apply TO
all owners of machines Nearly LOCO cars
are registered at the clerks office. while
the assessors found only $50.
According to the records of the city
clerk a similar condition exists with the
number of motorcycles, and their license
numbers. There are 800 motorcycles
shown on the record of the city clerk
The assessors figures show only 40
total of AZ in the entire county These
figures are shown on the abstract of per-
sonal property statements, in the county
