Bumptuous Youth Got Benefit of :
 Little Plain Talk.

The following is related of certain well-known New York business man and his son: The son had just left Harvard and was fired with ambitions which did not include going into his fathers office When he arrived home his parents began seriously to discuss his future. He stated what his ideas were and spoke of the professions as most likely to afford scope for his genius. The law, he thought, would be the likeliest career. His father, however, had not very high opinion of his abilities, and said so without mincing words. T think" he declared, you had better make beginning by adorning one of my office stools. We can think about your taking up the law afterward" The young man did not see it that way. Office life he loathed, and said it was an existence fit only tor dog.

MOSQUITO PEST IN TExARKANA.
Small in Size but Have Big Singers
 Ordinary Screens Useless.

From the Texarkanian-
 It is said that the mosquito pest is worse, the present season in Texarkana, than ever before within the memory of the "oldest iuhabitant.'
 Local scientists say the skeeters are smaller in size this year than usual, but that they "bite harder than in any previous year since the war.
 The insects are so small this season, it is said, that they are able to get through ordinary wire screens, and it is only the finest and most closely knit bars that keep them away from their vic tims. Peunyroyal and the various "skeeter lotions" are iu big de- mand and in these lines the drug stores are beginning to do large business. Electric fans are said to be specific against the things, and acting on this theory several persons have bad fans installed The insects bite so hard aud sting so keenlv that even a Chinamar with his carcass saturated ane surcharged with opium, is unable to stand the pressure.

When universal peace is finally es. tablished.' said Alfred H. Love, the president of the Universal Peace un. ion. in an interview in Philadelphia, then many a man who now ridicules the peace movement will claim to have been its lifelong champion. It is always so. We thump and kick a poor, weak, struggling movement at Its inception. and when it has succeed. ed and no longer needs our help. we give 1t the most solicitous support. There was once a young lady whose betrothed, very poor young man, was about to set out for South Ameri. ca to seek his fortune in the rubber trade. As he took his leave of her the night before his departure. he said, tremulously: And you swear to be true to me. Irene? Yes, Heber, cried

MAKING A FLYING MACHINE.
VIII I. Marrs of De Queen Thinks Has
 Problem Solved.

From the lie Queen Bee.
 Will T. Mars, who has already achieved success as an inventor IS now working on flying ma. chine model, which he thinks will revolutIonize aerial naviga tion.
 "ihe machine said Mir. Marrs. twill be operated by a lightly constructed gasoline engine. It will be built of aluminium ana will be provided with sixteen wings. Only eight of these wings will give momentum to the ma chine at enc time. They will be so constructed that when return. ing 10 their first position onl 7 the edge will be exposed to the air pressure making the resistance almost nothing. While one set of wings is returning, the second set will be in action, the system giving constant and even mo- tion to the car. There will be no gas bags attached, and the machine will rise automatically at the will of the operator. Its speed will be limited only to the endurance of the metal from which the machine is constructed, and there will be no difficulty at all iu making from 125 to 15O miles per hour. I hope to make practical demonstration before the close of the present summer.

 .,e Manchuria where 1t had DO
 usiuess to be. Japan's grievance
 gaiust Russia was that they held
 bat nation responsible for rob-
 sug Japan of the fruits of it's &ctory against China. Equally
 bitter were they against this buutry because of the conviction
 at this country cheated them T the fruits of their victory over Russia, war indemnity, in the teaiy of. Portsmouth.

 out, the Philippines captured, Hawaiian Islands taken posses Don of and within hree weeks the 4acihc coast at the mercy of the hpanese, and he did a thing no 2ue would ever expect Roosevelt lo do-he laid down.
