COURSE TAKEN BY THE AIRsHIP IN ITS FLIGHT

Ethel tower, and went back nearly to
the starting point, distance OF ten
miles, in forty minutes. But unfor-
tunately when near home his motor
failed him and he was Obliged to rip
his silken balloon to hasten descent
and avoid injury. Notwithstanding
this accident NJ. Santos-Dumont's ex-
pertinent was a success in that the ball
loon navigated against the wind for
the first time in the history Of airship
construction. One or two minor de-
fects which can be easily remedied in
a few hours prevented the complete
carrying out of the tests, but IT Is safe
to prophesy that within a month VI.
Santos-Dumont's invention will hold
as complete dominion over the air as
ship does over the sea.

Etiuuette In 1924.

Here Is n curious extract from the
court regulations Of the Hofburg for
the year 1924 on the etiquette to be OBJ
served by officers when invited to the
royal table. The regulation begins by
stating that officers usually behave un-
der such circumstances with great po-
liteness and good breeding, like true
and worthy cavaliers" but that the
emperor thinks 1t necessary to issue
the following directions for the use OF
inexperienced cadets:
81. Officers should come to the palace
handsomely dressed and not enter the
room In half drunken state.
80. When they nre Mt table, they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor sit back and stretch out their legs.
"3. They should not drink after each
mouthful, as by so doing they will very
soon get drunk. nor drink more than
half a glass Mt time. and before
drinking they should wipe their lips
and moustachios.
~. They should not put their hands
In the dishes nor throw bones under
the table.
"5. They should not lick their fin.
gers nor drink so brutally as to fall of
their chairs"

Coins and Conductors.

A new industry among street car
conductors was revealed to patient
passenger on an up town Sixth avenue
car the other day. The conductor. who
was In talkative mood, opened con-
versation by exhibiting coin Of a
mintage which commands n premium
and remarking that many such coins,
which were carried rs pocket pieces,
came into the hands of himself and his
fellow conductors in the course Of
year, either from passengers who were
temporarily oblivious more or less Of
their surroundings and their actions or
from men who had gone broke and had
to get up town.
From that he passed to the topic of
bogus coins, ingenuously confessing
that conductors who took bad quarters
or half dollars by mistake and were
too conscientious to try to work them
Off OH passengers sold them at the car
house to other conductors Mt dis
count of cents. The squeamish con-
ductors, he explained, had rather lose
cents than to try to pass the coins
or to lose the face value Of the coins.
The other conductors, he said. were
always ready to make the cents and

gers available to whom the coins might

Odd Ideas Of Providence.

went to the captain In great distress.

said he. Goodness gracious, Is 1t as

"Vanity, vanity. all Is vanity" saith

preted to mean, "All women are vani-
ty." In point Of fact, the observant
are agreed that there Is no sex In vani-
ty, more than in mind. An elevator at
tendant not long ago glanced disgust
edly at a man who during long trip
up ten or more stories occupied the en-
tire time at the mirror. He curled the
ends Of his mustache, arranged his tie,
adjusted his hat at more becoming
angle and was altogether so absorbed
that he was carried beyond his destina-
ton and had to walk down flight Of
stairs.
Said the elevator man to woman ip

go by a looking glass without looking
at herself, but as far as can see she

never gets chance to look In that
glass, for the men keep 1t busy all the
time"
The man who carries tiny comb or
brush in his pocket for use in public
places is by no means exceptional. He
may be seen on the cable cars, the IL"
and In elevators brushing his mustache
and eyebrows with as much care as a
woman could give to the arrangement
of her curly front locks blown into dis

TWO DIRE ANS
AND WHAT BECAME OF THIN.
IcoNrINuHp FROM 1sT PAGE.

American life iu the eighteenth CEN
tury seemed exceedingly tame to the
spirited English officers who had been
used to gay society and high living and
It was their custom to enliven them
selves by giving entertainments to their
friends and brother officers. TO one OF
these entertain ments given by General
(aiterward Sir Wllliam) johnson, Hen.
drick was invited.
As be passed from room to room in
specting and admiring everything, his
eye fell upon full military dress OF
fine scarlet, richly embroidered and re-
spleudent in gold lace and buttons.
which had been carelessly tossed into
chair. With reverent hands Hendrick
lifted and examined the gorgeous suit
which had just been sent to General
johnson by his royal master in England
At last, with SIGH, he softly laid the
garments upon the chair and left the
room; but during that evening and the
next day he returned frequently to look
with greedy eyes at the scarlet dress.
Upon the third and lust morning Of
the entertainment Hendrick said to
General Johnson, after exchanging with
him the compliments OF the day. Pale
face brother, Hendrick had dream last
night"
"Indeed,' exclaimed the General,
"and pray let us hear what it WAS about
Pale faced brother said the chief
gravely, 'Hendrick dreamed that that
beautiful coat was his.
Red faced brother, cried General
johnson, promptly and heartily, 1t is
yours
Joyfully Hendrick bounded away and
presently his tall, commanding form
was dressed in the magnificent scarlet
costume.
Sometime after this Hendrick re-
solved to give an entertainment and and
invite all those English officers who
treated him so royalty. Accordingly the
guests were hidden, and General john
son was among the number.
Hendricks home was in that part of
the beautiful country now called New
York State, through which the Mo-
hawk River runs. The chiettain was
bountiful host, and his guests retired at
a late hour, we'll satisfied with their
entertainment.
The uext morning Genera! johnson
aroae early and went out into the open
air to greet his host.
'Ahl exclaimed Hednck, his face
lighting up at sight of his friend, how
did my pale. faced brother sleep7'
The General replied that he had
I6btou we'll, Uut tudG uc udO q iotiiai n
able dream.
What did my brother dream? asked
the sachem.
I dreamed, said Johnson slowly,and
spreading his hands out before him as
be spoke, that all those lands were mine.
Hendrick looked OF the general in
speechless wonder. The Indians are firm
believers in dreams, and Hendrick was
sorely preplexed. TO grant this request
was to give up nearly one hundred
thousand acres of well wooded fertile
land, to refuse, was to temrt the Great
Spirit to send some terrible evil on the
nan who had dreamed.
At length Hendrick turned to the
General and said solomnly. The land is
yours. But my pale faced brother must
not dream again,
This grant of lard which was made
by Hendrck, and afterwards received
the royal sanction. was for some time
called the dream land
