SANTOs-DUMONT's WAYS.
His Obedience When Mistaken for q
Valet.
Written for The Evening Stal

"hteea iot Anc Evening
A gentleman, at present in New York
who has known NJ. Santos-Dumont inti-
mately for several years, speaking recently
Of the world-renowned aeronaut's personal
characteristics. remarked that NJ. Dumonts 5
extreme reserve of manner. and what a
| casual observer might almost mistake sor
timidity of temperament, would certainly
not lead one to imagine him capable Of
possessing a great intellect for invention
| and courage to navigate the air.
An extremely quiet. reticent. little man. :"
said the friend above referred to. nearly
| always TO be met with automobiles for HIS
principal topic of conversation and appar-
| emily his chief hobby. Upon his real work
the science of aeronautics, IL is almost i'm
possible to get him to say a word; as also,
perhaps naturally, upon the romance OF his
daughter of the weil-known American hotel
keeper in Paris. There is no doubt he felt
keenly the refusal OF his parents in Brazil
! to give their consent to his marriage. which
was the only reason for Its being broken
on"
Occasionally It seems NJ. Dumont would
on his automobile excursions, and hence a
little story is told which emphasizes q GER
tain phase of his character.
The trip In question was to a place some
! thirty miles from Paris at a time when au-
tomobiles had not reached Lleir present
state OF perfection. As In many similar In
stances the machine broke down hopeless
ly by the wayside, and IL had to be towed
to the nearest railroad station There it
was found the party had to wait several
hours for the next train back TO Paris and
the question Of dinner became all important
So to the village auberge M. Dumont and
his friends repaired. and ordered the best
repast which could be served. In the mean
time NJ. Dumont's friends proposed a stroll
through the village, but on the plea that Re
wanted to think about something NJ Du-
mont remained at the inn.
The friends had not left the inn long be-
fore the landlady BUSTED into the room TO
lay the table and finding the quiet little
man alone. mistook him for a servant or a
valet of the party. Being short handed and
not a little perturbed by the arrival of such
unusual guests, she requested his assistance
In properly serving up the meal. Without
a word of protest as II was subsequently,
disclosed. M. Dumont obligingly shouldered
napkin and, under the lady's directions
set to work placing the knives. forks
and plates. In the middle of this unusual
occupation he was surprised by his aston
ished friends. who begged to know the rea-
son why he had taken upon himself the
Office OF waiter.
'Oh. well!' NJ. Dumont replied nonchal-
antly, ITS so much easier to do what you
are told than make explanations

''It is almost criminal the way most
doctors treat Consumption. raid a
prominent physician the other day.
They give the patient a lot of rub
bish intended to relieve their coughs
and ease the pains without the least
idea OF cure. If these doctors would
follow the advance made in the treat
ment Of Consumption as closely as they
do other human ailrAents, there would
be less suffering and not so many pre-
mature deaths. We are not living in an
age when the cure of diseases formerly
considered fatal is looked upon as mi
raculous.''
The old theory that Consumption
could never be cured has been routed
by the recent discoveries of Or. Derk
P. Yonkerman. DR.. Yonkerman in his
experiments followed in the paths of
Koch, Luton, Pasteur and other noted
germ authorities. He used their discov-
cries in the treatment of the tdbercle
