He Left Them.

On the afternoon of Winslow's de
parture for Denver he was paying his
bill, when he called Willie, hanging
fa .inatingly near.
Il want yOu," he said slowly, glaring
into the boys eyes, Ito go upstairs and
see if left my toothbrush and comb in
my room. Toothbrush and comb, tooth
brush, toothbrush, toothbrush! Don't
forget what / want, boy, and hurry,
too. Got get my train"
"N-no, sir-r; yves, sir" chattered
Willie.
Winslow hung about impatiently,
watching the clock like a hawk. Only
two minutes to spare. Just as he
caught up his bag to depart Willie
came on a dead run across the floor,
his face aglow with the sense of Il lofty
mission well performed.
Yes, sir he cried eagerly, you left
'em.'
Winslow gazed at his empty handed
Fmissary. His lips, moved, but no words
came forth. Then, with an inarticulate
snarl, he stepped into the waiting car

under the most perfect control during
the entire experiment, and to have
been operated at maximum speed not
exceeding fifteen n lies an hour. The
new airship may we'll be regarded as
the first serious contribution to the
undertaking to secure aerial naviga-
ton. 1t is a credible circumstance
rather than otherwise that the rate Of
speed attained by the machine, or
claim ed as possible by the inventor,
does not exceed lft<en miles an hour,
The trouble with all inventions of this
character for many years past has been
that promise and performance have
borne but little relation toward each
other when they have been put to the
test.
While there can not be said to exist
today any such exact knowledge of the
currents of upper air as to lead to the
belief that an aerial motor capable Of

violent storms can be invented in the
immediate future, scientific work in
this direction has progressed suftl-
GENTLY far to justify all enlightened
persons in looking forward to COM
parative triumph within reasonable
period. Whether the invention of the
latest relatively successful aeronaut
contains the secret necessary to this
triumph will soon be made plain.
Notwithstanding the distinct favor
with which Santos Dumont's opera
tions were received in Paris, and the
favorable predictions which he and
others have made as to the future of
his invention, it has been plain for
some time past that he is not up to this
time a serious factor in the solution Of
the problem of aerial navigation.

How TIE INDIANS VOTE.
They Are Very Deliberate and Then
Have a Simple Method.

The Chiukasaw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way the
white man does it. They meet the day
before the election, and none but
ChickaS;!Ws hy blood is allowed to
vote 80 white man or intcrmarried
citizens have the right Of suffrage.
They so Oft to themselves and have Il
powwow. They %ccit$e for whom they
will vote after considering the matter
for twenty-four hours,
The polling place is quite unlike that
of the white man. There is a great
sheet of paper, white, yellow or brown
as the case may De, ABOUT tDrcc feet
square Upon this Shee Ct paper are
a vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled off With a pencil. Then GOV II
one side of the sheet of paper ,A"
placed the names of all candidates +
office, beginning with the candiUa,'>
for governor and running on down 20
precinct officers At the top of the
sheet are the number of blank spaces
that will be required for the names of
the voters. The judges of election sit
by and pass on those entitled to vote
and there is a certainty that no illegal
votes are cast
The Indian is thoroughly deliberate.
He takes his time when it comes to
voting. He proceeds to the polling
place. looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he is ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name, and the
clerk records it on the sheet. Then the
clerk reads off the names of the can
didates for governor. The voter delib-
crates awhile, calls out the name of
the candidate for whom he desires TO
vote, his vote is recorded, and the
names of the candidates for the next
office are called out, and so on through
the list, till all the Offices represented
are voted for.
Thus it is that every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has cast
his ballot, and there are no remarks,
no suggestions and no Quarrels over
differences of opinion.

RAGE PREJUDICE FREAKS.

Race hatred and prejudice seem to be
getting so bitter in the north that
brunette girls may be compelled to use
complexion powders. 1t is only neces-
sary to be suspected of relationship
with the negro race to be subjected to
all kinds of indignities
The other day in Boston the door of
a trades union was closed upon all
black faces. Then in Chicago, at the
North University, the head
quarters of liberty. a young colored
woman who had entered the school
was turned out into the street AS
soon as it was discovered that she had
negro blood she was expelled.
But the most extraordinary thing
happened at Evansville, Indiana A
girl with dark complexion entered at
one of the public schools, and at once
all the other children left and the
teacher was confronted with empty
benches. Truant officers were sent
after the children, but their parents
said they should not attend school with
the dark-faced girl whom they sus-
pected of being a negro The board of
education took the matter up, and after
an investigation discovered that the
girl has no negro blood. She is sim
ply brunette, and her parents are
French
1t will be well hereafter for brunette
girls, when they enter the public
schools in the north to use some kind
of completion powders. 1t is really
painful to note the existence of such
prejudices in the minds of our north
ern brethren. Particularly when we
remember how the north was wont to
lecture the south on this subject.

BLOW To AUTOMOBILE.

The American horse has showed his
hat back from his forehead and, smil-
ing between his teeth, is ready to an
nounce, as soon as he can find an in
terpreter, that he expects to remain in
the "short-haup' game to the end of
the Chapter. This disposition on the
part uf his horseship to become glee-
ful arises from the fact that the auto
mobile is temporarily under a cloud
under suspicion, and at the same time
.p tree.
The violent death a couple of weeks
ago of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair
while riding ''devil wagon" in France
has set lot of people to thinking, and
a few of them to acting. For in
stance, William K. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
probably the most enthusiastic auto
mobilist this side the Atlantic, who it
will be rendered has made the fastest
record ever scored by horseless We
hicle announces that he has sold all
his automobiles and will wholly dis
continue to own or to ride in them.
Mr.. Vanderbilt offers no explanation of
his action, but it is a good guess that
he has become alarmed over the large
number of fatal accidents which have
recently happened to people on auto
mobile excursions. 1t is not known
what effect his sudden determination
will have on other members of the
smart set, but it is freely predicted
that many OF them will follow his lead
and give up the auto habit
AS a matter of fact, the automobile
is an exceedingly dangerous vehicle

onic stage, is perplexing to a degree
and as obstinate as Missouri mule
Until some manufacturer can make
machines which will run when they are
wanted to, and stop when wanted to
and which will not jump hedges, climt
trees and swim rivers, the automobile
is never going to be popular with any

The Word aspicnfc."

Few people know the original mean
ing of the word. picnic" 1t is to be
found set out in the London Times of
a hundred years ago. "A picnic sup
per consists of a variety of dishes. The
subscribers to this entertainment have
u bill of fare presented to them, with
number against each dish. The lot
which he draws obliges him to furnish
the dish marked against it, which he
either takes with him in his carria ge
or sends by a servant. The proper
variety is preserved by the talents of
the maitre d'hotel, who forms the bill
of fare. As the cookery is furnished by
so many people of fashion each strives
to excel. and thus a picnic supper. not
only gives rise to much pleasant mirth,
but generally can boast of the refine
ment of the art"
