Over the gateway of an old

In keeping with the second line

and what shadows we pursue. "
The closing days of the year
make us feel that in some meas
ure we are as shadows creeping
over the face of time. And yet
it ought to be possible for US to
answer affirmativey the combin-
ed statement and question, I
mark time, dost thou" Most
certainly we can do this when
we live the true life-the life of
clean character and of service to
others, doing the best we can
as know how. The man who has
done that during the year now

J satisfied with himself but he may
rejoice that he has had some
share, however humble, in help
ing the world to be better. In

WIRELESS MESSAGE TELLS
OF AERIAL DISASTER
Second American Entry to Meet

in Air Sunday.

BERLIN, Oct. ia wireless mes
sage received today from Arnold, the
conductor of the st. Louis balloon in

westerly direction. 1t is the second
American balloon to meet with an ac-
cident- The Conqueror blew up at an
altitude OF 1000 feet Immediately after
the start and the two had a
miraculous escape from death. The
Spanish balloon Montanes. another con-
t~estant, came to grief yesterday morn
ing over Saxony, but the pilot and his
assistant reached the ground without
sustaining injury.
1t is believed here that the fog pre-
vented Mr.. Arnold and Mr.. Hewitt,
who accompanied him, from seeing the
water and that they were blown out

were going.
The Belgian balloon Utopia landed at
Q o'clock yesterday evening near Cux-

BROOM A RELIC OF THE PAST
Modern Housekeeping Declared to
Have No Longer Use for II.

The newest household invention,
found only in the buildings most re.
Gently erected, is the vacuum cleaning
system, says the Delineator. The
broom is almost ready to be relegated
10 the glass case of a museum and
labeled a tool of ancient household
industry, for now we are sweeping by
electricity. All the dust and dirt is
actually pumped out from a house and,
through pipes in the walls, carried to
the sewer. A rubber hose in the room,
adjusted to connection in the wall
communicates directly with the pump
in the basement. The metal tool with
narrow groove in the underside, at
the other end Of the hose, is easily
guided by the operator as it passes
over the surface of floors, walls, furni-
ture, clothing or bedding, sucking up
every foreign particle.
There have recently been invented
portable vacuum machines which may
be operated at an expense of two cents
an hour. The latest one is just on the
market at a cost of only 1925.
