L Wilkins. down 20 Hen Weathers-
by's store tother ev'g, spoke about
readin in a outside newspaper that 4
feller had invented a airship to travel
through the air which would fly around
wherever he wanted It TO and perdickted
that the time would come when we
would all be travelling here and there IN
airships from one point to enothcr and
back again This chap perdickted that
the time would come when every man
would be able 10 own his own airship
and that then we wouldn't have no use
for railroads or street cars or horses or
any other means of locomoshion than
airships
Lem Brown, our expert carpenter who
was in the store when L was talking
sneered and laughed at what L said and
said It was ridiculous to think that the
time would ever come when people
would fly around in the air. Lem said
it wasn't intended that a human being
should fly through the air Ike swaller
or a blue-jay for if il had been the Lord
would of give a man wings to fly with
We calkilate that Lem is authority on
this questshion and knows what he is
talking about being as il amt been more
than d year since he rugged up a con-
trapshion TO fly with and like TO of
broke his neck before he got through
with it. That was last spring a wear
ago Lem he had been reading up on
flying machines and he got the idee into
his head that he could make a pair Of
wings for hisseif by which he could sail
and soar all around over Bingville Lem
he made the frames for the two wings
outen white ash which had been dried
and seasoned and covered them with
thin oiled muslin They was made to
fas;en around his arms right at the
shoulders and down farther on the
wings was a grip for each hand to work
the wings by. There was also a sort
Of a fan-tailed rudder contrapshion
which be was to fasten on hisself TO
steer himself by. II took Lem about
three weeks to make the wings and tail
and then he a lounced that on Satur-
day he would take flight from the top
of the Town Hall, sail around the stee-
pie Of the Bingville church and then
light back on top of the Town Hall
where he started from.
There was a turrible big crowd
turned out to see Lem fly. People
stopped work and come from miles In
every direckshion. Lem he elm I'd on
the top Of the Town Hall carrying the
end Of a rope and then pulled up the
wings and tail and strapped them on his
self and when he stood up ready to take
flight he was about 2 feet from tip to
Zip.
Everybody stood and gazed at him
with awed breath and presently Lem he
scrooched down and give a jump into
space and begin to flap his wings and
turned over twice and fell into a maele
tree which stands in front of the church
shaking him up considerable and break
ing both wings and one leg besides bark
ing his shins and knocking the breath
outen him. It is a good thing that maple
tree was where it was. Otherwise If is

A Reverend Speaks Out.

A congregation has been having
trouble in Philadelphia. No differ
ence what the denomination, it is
enough to say it is known for its
intellectually, for its adherents
confess as much. The trouble has
had mainly to do -gith the impressed
trousers of the preacher and a Wis
age regarded as somewhat harsh
and forbidding."
The unfortunate shepherd of this
flock was to- be kicked out. He ap-
pears to have known that the way
was clear to the pasture bars. So
before he babe his sheep good-by
he made farewell sermon the oc-
casion to free his mind. Here is a
sample:
Many ministers are resenting the de-
mand for simply neutral decorative
ministry; ministry punctiiious: a min
istry that tiptoes gently and graciously
at o'clock teas and smiles benignly
at the bridge whist tables; a ministry
whose pulpit utterances have the quality
OF what country people call "FoXfire, "
a RdAt pDOSpnOEE6CtnL RilnncT, tile
product of decayed wood
There was more of this same
temper. His hearers were called "a
bridge-whist coterie, a pink tea
party to their astonished faces. Or
rather most OF them were. The
others got it in the back as, hor-
rifed, they hurried to the door.
Had they remained they might
have heard the truth about minis
ters' pay: that "the average man
without an independent income has
no business in the average pulpit; -
that many of our so-called impor-
tant and aristocratic churches are
regularly begging from a fourth to
a fifth of their preaching from their
minister's" that the preacher FIRE
quently gives off at the end of the
year a large percentage of his sal
airy to meet the ever-recurring de-
felt in the parish finances"
At this distance, if it be proper.
this paper would offer Philadelphia
a suggestion. Next time try a paid
up salary and some hearty lay CO.
operation on the impressed trous-
ers and forbidding visage. That
medicine has been known to work
wonders.
