The Mighty Hairpin.

The wife of a Kansas farmer,
so the story goes, got tired of
asking him to fix some things
about the house that needed
fixing, and one day after he had
come home from town she told
him she had done the work her.
self.
"And you know" she said,
"the drawer that was locked for
over a month, and which you
said couldn't be opened except
by a locksmith? Well" tri-
umphantly, 81 opened it,
swell, we'll! How in the
world did you do it?"
"With a hairpin. And the
oven door," she continued, ''has
been slipping around on one
hinge for ever so long just be-
cause you were too lazy to fix it;
but it's all right now."
Well, Pm glad you had it
fixed. -
Had it fixedl | fixed it N.Y.
self-with a hairpin. And then
that crayon portrait of mother,
that stood in the corner for al
most six solid weeks, because
you never would bring me any
picture hooks-I got it up with a
hook |, made myself-out of a
harpins.
Well, we'll, was all he could
say.
And there's Willie. You've
been coaxing him and bribing
him for, over a year, trying to
break him of biting his nails, and
/ broke him in week.
With a hairpin? he muttered
meekly.
No! she snapped. Don't be a
goose With a hair brush -

Air Navigation Close at Hand.

Santos Dumont, of Paris, since
the successful flight of his aero
plane, "The Bird of Prey" talks
enthusiastically of the early APP
proach of the day when all man
kind will be navigating the air
and when flying machines will
be more common than automo-
biles. Indeed, he thinks that
the flying machine will eventu-
ally become the ''poor mans"
automobile, be safer, faster and
cheaper. In an interview he
said:
"The machine l am expert
menting with is very large, hay-
ing a surface of eighty square

.4r -
metres, but the practical aero
plane, which viii be fer the air
what the democratic bicycle is
for the earth, will be much
smaller.
"With ordinary flying ma
chimes it is necessary to increase
the size in order to increase the
power. With the aeruplane, on
the contrary, speed will be in
creased in direct proportion to
the dimiuution Of the resistance
surface. My present aeroplane
was Intentionally built large to
overcome main obstacles as to
principles. But with Increased
power, which means speed, the
size can be reduced, At the
same time increased speed adds
to the safety, as a powerful mo-
tor is more easily manipulated.
We can, therefore, look forward
to practical aeroplane which
can be comfortably housed In
every home.
"From the standpoint If main
tenance, the cost, both Of petro-
leum and repairs, the aeroplane
will be much less expensive than
the automobile car. There will
be no expensive tires to burst
and no bad roads to pieces.
There will be no collisions.
Next year people will be able
to go to the seashore in their
aeroplanes. 1t will become the
fad, and the commencement Of a
new industry"
"What of the danger?'
"The only danger would be the
risk of broken rudder, and l
cannot see that a rudder could
break itself. The aeroplane is
immobility itself. The swerving
l
which made me descend on Oct.
%, can be easily rectified by a
second rudder to counterfeit any
tendency in that direction. The
practical difficulty, while the
matter remains in the expert
mental stage, would, Of course,
be how to control the supple
mentary rudders while the hands
are otherwise engaged. My in
tention is to attach the yoke
ropes to my neck and maintain
the equilibrium by the instinc.

PROVING POPULAR SONG
Mrs; Marie J. Weeks and Frank w

-. Melody That Takes Well.

When SOME new song IS written that
takes the public by storm and is whis-
tied and sung on the streets I'm til every
body knows it, the question is asked:
!" Why didn It somebody think Of that
before? Why has some one not long
since composed song about Lake Min
tnetonka?" Why's The success Of
4. Dear Minnetonka, published by the
Minnetonka Music company, has proven
that Minneapolis can do something
worth while in a musical way when the
spirit moves Alright. @.
The words. of 'tDear. Minnetonka -
were written by Mrs. Marie J. Weeks
of Minneapolis and the music was COM
posed by Frank w: Bresee, who is bet
ter known perhaps as the proprietor of
the Minnetonka Seed gardens.
/ Mrs. Weeks and Mr.. Bresee have
been the joint authors Of a number Of
songs which have been published dur.
ing the last week, including two ballads
HJust You" and 1.-THE Garden Of
Love- AS if to show that they can
do something in the popular coon song
class they have also published what

that the king of minstrelsy was looking

echo of an old plantation melody

has arranged these compositions for or
