Besieged by Applicants.


Vice President Hobart greeted a visitor
one morning recently with cordiality, and.
anticipating his mission, said:
"Of course I'm for you for anything you
want. Let me see what you are asking. &"
He reached out and took the telltale pa

spread over his face as he continued:

4 Living Kite.

In France living kite has been seen
in which a man formed part. 1t was
III the course Of a series of experiments
to determine the effect of wind upon a
soaring machine. A gigantic kite had
been made, on the face of which a man
stood, his feet wide apart and resting
upon braces for the purpose, while with
his hands he clasped two straps. The
kite was 20 feet high and made Of
cloth. The first attempt to fly it was
made ON an exposed section Of the coast,
where the wind blew in over a lake. A
large parachute was attached TO the
frame OF the kite, TO which the man
was supposed TO cling in case Of a fall.
Everything being ready, the kite was
braced against the wind, the man took
his place, and 30 men ran against the
wlnd with the rope, many more hold
ing the tail. The wind caught the enor.

from the spectators the man rose ten
feet from the surface and there remain

this fashion. 1t was such hazardous
and uncertain experiment that a very

B2OHcQt hccOfNeT.
The papers that for political purposes
advertise and magnify the hard times
are far from patriotic. It is pity that
we have come to the time when if one
administration is in power, a certain
class of papers representing another
party will make use of every opportun-
ity, will color its news, to create dis
trustful commercial state of mind.
This is no way to win political victories.
1t should be frowned down by right
thinking people. It is to the Interest
of every man in business that the press
take hopeful business view as long as
possible. From reading certain paper
we already find that there is an idea in
our mind that things are going to the
bad. It is not so. The evidences are
that business conditions are improv-
ing. In the month of June and all
through the summer business Is dull
but who will have confidence In paper
that for political purposes will take adj
vantage OF this? For our part we look
for improvement, not because any party
is in power, but because it is our nature
and our duty to keep our face to the
sunrise. A paper should meyer be SO
partizan as not to tell the truth.
