The Era of AWShipS.

The Era of .AIrSIlIpS.
The enthusiasm of navigators of the air is at it's
zenith in this country and in Europe. The maya
zines and daily papers replete with the achieve
ments of this that inventor and from all quarters
of the globe received reassuring reports OF sue
cessful flights. These airships differ very little in
design. The principal difference however, is that
some of them are successful and others failures.
Since the days of Darius Green and his tabled
airship men have strove with might and main to
conquer the air, just they have conquered the
ocean, the Wilderness and the unexpIored countries
of the globe This hemisphere of ours contains an
abundance of everything but still men sigh for new
worlds to conquer. They will never be satisfied I'M
til the Pole has been reached and the planets have
been thoroughly Investigated.
IF the present aspirants after airship honors
would form syndicate, and by the simple process
of elimination and deduction of ideas, the solution
of navigating the air might now be certainty In
stead of this each is trying to master theory that
appears too complicated for a single individual
Thomas A. Edison would not be the great genius
that he is if it not for his able assistants Their
cooperation is what enables the wizard to produce
marvellous results. NoSdoubt the came achievement
could be accomplished by united effort the part
of air navigators. 1t will be- great thing when the
people of this world establish an air line between
the earth and Mars. Truly this is the age of air
ships.

II W0nder7uZ Career.


THERE died in Chicago the other day woman
who reached the remarkable age of 107 years. At
the time of her death she cheerful and sweet
tempered as young woman. She attributes her
longevity to the fact that she worried. There
good lesson in the life of this lesson that
should be learned and spread broadcast. More per-
sons have their lives shortened by the little worries
and anxieties than most persons aware of. They
allow insignificant trifes to submerge their better
nature to their disposition, and to dominate
their natural impulses. They permit themselves to
worry to such extent that they become iras-
chile and nervous wreck.
To live century without worrying seems very
improbable We do not believe it possible for one
to be SO phegmatc not to grieve the loss of
relatives friends; and if grieves, worry fol-
lows a>natural consequence. STILL there is a
marked difference between grieving and chronic
worrying. The kind that wrecks the mind and in
jures the health is constant brooding real and
imaginary wrongs There is no healthy person who
possesses vivid imagination but what worries more
or less each day in the year,. Even the presidents
of 'dont worry clubs have their periods of depres-
sion, moments when they really troubled as to
where they at IL it is essential to eliminate all
worry in order to pass the century mark, there
few persons who can ever hope to reach it.

what Is going to happen next. The story is entitled
"Number 90O9," and is pure fiction; and-altho q
grain of truth may be contained in it, attempt is
made to point moral.
Stories of prisons and convict life are always
fascinating, for few people, outside of those who
have been there nave correct conception Of the
prisoners life behind the bars While we are not
familiar with prisons as whole, we have no hesl-
fancy in saying that Number 5000" is nothing but
a pipe dream The author of this article may have
had permission to be looked in cell for an hour or
SO to get the desired local color, some authors
have done in the past but there s however nothing
to be desired in the villain who takes the leading
role. He is as desperate character any dime
novelist has ever depicted There is always an end
less field for the writer of fiction in prison lfe but
perhaps the best article written this theme
is "The Ballad of Reading Gaol," poem that is a
classic In this poem the writer does not dwell on
petty Details but pictures life in its broader aspects

The Underline.

The underling is often an abused and misunder.
stood person. However, it frequently happens that
the he receives is warranted by the circum
stances. The average underling generally under
stands what his duties and performs them cheer
fully and obediently. Possessing good sense, he
avoids the petty habit of heaping abuse on his SUI
perior for trivial things The undering who, six
months after he has been set to work, knows more
about the business than the man who built and con-
trolls it, is always one of those smart chaps who
demoralize the Office force. He is continually hint
ing to others OF his Importance and what would
happen in case he quit. To outsiders he informs
them that he is the main shaft the fountain head of
all wisdom, the chap who is always depended on to
discover and correct mistakes, etc.
These know-it-alls are to be found in every large
Office, and they usually their dismissal to their
unbrded tongue-their indiscreet habit of bettling
their foreman employer Such unprincipled
chaps learn very suddenly that it does not pay to
be too liberal in crticising the management for
this sort of loosetalk generally gets around when
least expected. When they lose their position they
need blame no one but themselves Every such
boasted criticism is knock against promotion and
retention in their present employment.

at the proposed dollar prison which
New York intends to build in the near future "The
wallis the critics say, will be mile long in order
to enclose the entire plant On the top Of the walls
will be walk, similar to the boardwalk at Atlantic
City," Any who has ever visited a prison
knows what this "walk' is for, and will not be de-
ceved by the satire which the writer fosted on the
public. In similar ironical tone the said writer
speaks of other magnificent accommodations that
are contemplated, and slyly hints that the bad men
now at large will storm the place for admittance II
such should prove to be the case, New York is to be
congratulated, for it would save the expense OF
rounding them up.

II Pipe Dre0na
The Sata,aay EUensng Post is running serial
story of convict life in prison that in many instances
is slightly exaggerated. The author is evidently
somewhat informed to the routine of prison life,
but many of his statements are considerably over
drawn. It contains the same amount of breathless
thrillers which have made such hit with theater-
goers, for one cannot help but feel curious as to
