Mrs. Mckinley used to tell a story
about Canton woman who declared
that her husband was very 'slipshod,
his buttons always coming of. Some
one suggested that possibly they were
not well sewed on and she admitted
that to be the case, as he was a very
poor sewer. Mrs. Ibsen says that her
distinguished husband always insisted
on sewing on his own buttons and she
humored him, but as soon as he had
finished she sewed them over again.

Shape Course By Stars

Dusk fell while the balloon was still
close to st. Louis Thursday night and
it passed through the moonlight over
the Illinois prairies, swept by stiff
easterly winds, twenty two miles an
hour.
When dawn broke the balloon was
sailing across Ohio and the aeronauts
were fortunate in having full daylight
upon them when they crossed the
Ohio river at Galliopolis. During the
whole trip they must have crossed the
river at least three times and the
Kanawha river once.
At Point Pleasant, West Virginia,
across the Ohio river from Galliopolis,
and near the junction of the Kanewha
and the Ohio, the balloon was sighted
at 1880 a. NJ, and remained in sight
an hour, drifting close to the earth
in southwesterly direction about
twelve miles an hour. The balloonists
we're plainly visible and waved at the
crowds which gathered to view them,
but did not drop any message.
A storm gathered and the sky which
had been brilliant became overcast.
The gas was apparently sensitive to
the change and the balloon dipped un-
til it almost touched a barn. By
throwing out ballast the balloonists
averted an accident and the No. 10
rose CALAMITY. The breeze carried the
as bag out of danger before the storm
broke.
The balloon passed Charleston fly
ing low. The country about the Kan
awha valley which the balloon pilots
followed, is broken. and fight over it
was attended by so much danger that
was believed the aeronauts would
soon land They were then 800 miles
from the Atlantic ocean.
When No. 10 passed Galliopolis it
had been sixteen hours and forty min
utes in the air and had sailed an
average of mile in two minutes and
twenty seconds

ia the Home-Maker.

To build up the power Of our homes,
for beauty, for companionship, for in
telligence, for charity, for constant
acknowledgment and furtherance OF the
rights of others, is to build up power
greater, perhaps, than we ourselves
shall ever realize. And it's within the
reach Of every home, whether it's big
or a very little one-Harper's Bazaar.

This fall there seems to be a
strong determination among our
young people to acquire education
and wealth, as is demonstrated
that there are more colored chill
dren entered the High Schools Of
our city then ever before. Al
ready Highland Park has six
colored students. This is indeed
gratifying. Parents, you should
see that your boy or girl, whom
God has entrusted to your care,
should take advantage of the OPP
.portunity to gain knowledge
while the faculties are so handy,
Education and welth will make
this race strong and she will move
forward as never before.
