What a Real Friend Is

A friend is one to whom we can tell
our finest thoughts and know we will
receive genuine joy, sympathy or
understanding.
A friend is one who will come to
us, if there is some misunderstanding,
rather than go to the neighbors.
A friend is one who loves us, not
for our automobiles and influential
friends, but for ourselves.
A friend is one who will share his
joys and prosperity as we'll as his
troubles and poverty.
A friend is one who will not look
for perfection in us and turn his back
because he finds us no better than
himself.
A friend is not one that idealizes
us, but one that tries to understand
us and loves us for what we are, and
not for what he would have u.s.

The Worth of a Smile

Little Jimmy Godfrey, aged 13,
climbed tree-out in Kansas City
to gather walnuts. He came in con-
tact with an electric wire. One side
of his face was burned, leaving an
ugly scar. A damage suit against the
power and light company was insti-
tuted on Jimmy's behalf. The chief
element of damage about which the
claim centered was that Jimmy had
lost his youthful smile. On the wit
ness stand, Jimmy was asked to try
to smile. The only result was a
puckering Of the lips and a melan-
choly drawing of the face. A physi-
clan testified that the smile muscle in
his cheek had been bound by the
SCARED tissue above. The jury
promptly returned verdict giving
Jimmy $4,000. That becomes the

Spiritual Flowers

Those who have walked in a beau
tiful garden do not leave it willingly
without taking in their hand four or
five flowers, that they may smell them
and hold them on their way. So, when
our mind has thought over some
mystery by meditation, we ought to
choose one or two or three points
which we have found most to our
taste and most fitting for our pro-
gress, that we may think over them
during the rest of the day, and smell
them spiritually.-St. Francis de
Sales.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Always wash silk handkerchiefs in
tepid water to which has been added
little borax, about spoonful to a
bowl of water. Use very little, if
any, soap as it tends to make them
yellow. Iron while still damp.
Put a piece of clean white cloth
in the tea kettle anG it will gather
all the lime. Take cloth out when it
becomes stiff and replace with fresh
one.
There are some careless and
thoughtless persons who will strike
matches on painted surface. If that
is the case in your home, take bit of
liquid vaseline and rub into the paint
very hard, then go over it with a dry
flannel. You may be sure no one will
be able to leave a mark on it with a
match then.
When making pillow, the inside
case should be rubbed with soap on
the wrong side in order to prevent the
feathers from working through.
Tea, chocolate and cocoa stains are
removed by soaking in cold borax
water.
If fresh air is good to cure the sick,
why not use it to prevent illness?

Dreamed Potatoes
Observation-Disclosures

There are several different ways in
which creamed potatoes may be pre-
pared. First, freshly boiled or cold
boiled potatoes may be cut into small
cubes and served heated in cream
sauce. Second, wash, pare, and cut
potatoes into small cubes. Put into
frying pan with a few slices of onion
cut up very fine, and parboil ten min
utes. Pour off water. Add one table
spoon butter drippings, or other fat,
seasoning of salt and pepper, milk
enough to cover. Cook for fifteen or
twenty minutes, or until the potatoes
are we'll done, and the sauce thick and
creamy. 1t is necessary to stir the
potatoes frequently TO prevent stick
ing. The starch in the potatoes thick
ems the sauce. Creamec potatoes are
particularly good to serve with fish or
chicken.

Put piece of butter into a stew
pan with finely chopped parsley and
minced onion, one cupful of stock, and
one tablespoonful of flour. Let SIM
mer for ten minutes. Boil the re-
quired number of eggs until hard and

, But it was the coming of the stag
coach which brought to Sank Centr
one of it's most interesting character
in the person of Matt Schiefer, stag
coach driver and for more than 81
ears resident of this community.
Mr.. Schiefer came with the stage
coach and only death, which claimed
him last summer, ever separated him
from the home he had chosen for his
own when he drove his first -four
horse coach over the St. Paul-Winni-
peg trail.
Matt Schiefer, at his best, was a
character. His life long friends, men
who knew him in his younger days,
and those who made his acquaintance
later in life, maintain that Matt was
man of many moods. He was of
the rough and ready pioneer type,
and the habits and experiences of the
early days stayed with his through
life and he never tired of telling tales
of his experiences back in the stage
coach days when he handled four
horse team over the rough and unset
tied country between St. Cloud and
Fort Abercrombie.
The early stage coach venture was
an expensive and dangerous project.
In the first stages of the business,
there was little or no passenger traffic
was little or no passenger traffic
over the route, especially through
Sank Centre. There was nobody to
travel except an occasional soldier
leaving Fort Abrecrombie on fur
Tough or discharge. The mail was
practically the only cargo, with an
occasional express package, but each
coach went fully equipped with it's
teamsters, guard and agent. The
teamsters and guards worked with the
horses in relay, but the companys
agent who in reality was conductor"
on the stage, made the full journey
from St. Paul to Winnipeg. Every
agent signed for his express and he
stayed with the same until it was
turned over to others at it's destina-
ton.
The risks of the stage company
were enormous. The system requir-
ed several teams of horses for each
stage coach and these had be be cared
for enroute. The roads were mere
trails through the forests and over
the prairie and break-downs were
frequent.
In the later days during the Indian
troubles, the stage coach business as
sumed a double risk and each stage
carrying mails and such passengers
as attempted the trip through the
country, were usually sent out under
a guard of troops from the various
military posts along the route.
A remarkable feature of this In
dian war is the lack of information
concerning any attack upon a stage
coach over the st. Cloud route with
the exception Of the withdrawal of
the stage from Fort Abercrombie
during the weeks of the Sioux siege
of that fort. During that period, all
mail in and out of the fort, which was
very little, was carried by scouts who
ran the Indian patrols.
