an airship properly ballasted and bal

sizing, and sudden squalls would be
harmless.
II merely throw this out as a crude
suggestion and leave it to others to
work up. 1t is apparent to me that
the possibilities of the nroplanc, which
two or three years ago was thought to
hold the solution of this problem, have
been exhausted, and that We must
turn elsewhere.

However poor the Lincoln home may
have been, it affected the new child
but little. lie was robust and active,
and life is full of interest to the child

There was his sister Nancy, or Sarah

mothers, 10 years older; Dennis
Hankf, an active and ingenious leader
in sports and mischief, and there were
the ncighbors' boys. One of the lat
ter. Austin Gollaher, still tells with
pleasure of how he hunted coons and
ran the woods with young Lincoln,
and once even saved his life.
"Ycs,' said Mr.. Gollaher, ''thc story
that once saved Abraham Lincoln s
life is true: but it is not correct as

scholars. and VIC did not sec each other
much for long while. One Sunday
my mother visited the Lincolns, and l
was taken along Abe and l played
around all day. Finally we concluded
to cross the creek to hunt for some
partridges young Lincoln had seen the
day before. The creek was swollen by
recent rain, and in crossing on the
narrow footing, Abe fell in. Neither

"Thcn new difficulty confronted
us. If our mothers discovered our
wet clothes they would whip us. This
we dreaded from experience and de-
termincd to avoid it. 1t was June,

dried our clothing by spreading it on

How Editors Of One woman's Paper Can
if'M to Grief.

ASlHf8 y k% to Grief.
Some western women wanted to
start q woman suffrage paper q few
years ago, with the aim of scattering
the seeds of woman suffrage about the
country where It was needed. L ..
They bought a plant, ordering from
q catalogue Of printers supplies, and
while they didn't know ems from gal
leys, they put carpet on the printing
office floor and had stove with nickel
trimmings, and a brass fire shovel, and
revolving office chair, and a desk
with o lot of pigeon holes and waste
paper basket with a ribbon bow.on it,
and a patent rocker, a picture of Susan
b. Anthony on the wall, and q printer
to put the type together. fi'f' s.i' Z
It was rather a coy, homelike little
place, and even conservative women
who didn't approve OF the paper came
sometimes to visit and sat in the pat
ent rocker.
One day one of the editors wrote an
editorial in which she tried the time
worn epigram that "there is slumber-
ing hog in every mans bosom" y
This, while not exactly esthetic, was
regarded as bullet-proof bit of logic
with which to adorn q woman suffrage
editorial, but ''the best-laid plans of
mice and men gang aft aglee," and as
the printer was not suffragist. he
proceeded to put the hog in the worn-
ans bosom, and when the paper came
out and announced that there is .
slumbering hog in every woman's
BOSOM" those women called an ed
itorial conclave, and each woman tore
her own hair. H5 esiG
The greatest man on . woman's

The very interesting and valuable
experiments which DR.. A. Belle, Of

making with regard to the effects of

theory can be predicated upon the re-

that the cause Of death in cases of elec-
trocution was the breaking down loi
the tissues. But tho elaborate expert
ments which Prot. Belle has made
leave no doubt in his mind that death
results from very different cause.
He has found by experimenting with .
large number Of dogs that an electric
shock of sufficient intensity to cause
death results in contraction of the
arteries SO that they refuse to perform
their functions. This throws the blood
