 Queens Hobbies.
 Queens are invariably exempt from the mystery that wells the age of wo- men. and they can never abate a day from the cold calculation of the calen- dar. Wilhelmina, Queen of the Low countries, was 27 the other day, and has reigned for nearly seventeen years, the first eight of which were under the guidance of her mother, a Princess of Waldeck Pyrmont, and sister of the Duchess of Albany. For six and half years the Queen of Holland has been wife Of Henry. Duke of Mecklenburg. Prince des Pays Bas," as he was for mally styled on the occasion of his marriage.

The dairy began by being hob by, but so successful did 1t become that 1t Is now run as a paying business. The Queen is very fond of music, and has organized a series of "slum com certs" to brighten the lives of her poor CT subjects. During the winter In The Hague these concerts, which are given in large halls by excellent singers and instrumentaIists. engaged at the royal expense, are open to the inhabitants of the poorer quarters only.

 Advice to Parents.
 It belongs to us as parents to raise the childreh. we have got, taking them what we expected, that does not at all relieve us of responsibility. So far as we are concerned. they had an indis- putable right to be whatever they are, and while they may have fair grodnus to grumbla ct us, because they are not different, we have no ground at all to grumble on that account to them. To make the best of what we have got is the parental aim. but what that best Is must depend upon the child. Good of the kind gives satisfaction.

NEWSPAPER AID SAVED
LIFE OF DESPONDENT MAN

Chicago. H., Aug 10.-(SpeciaD -
The cup of happiness overlooked yes
terday for the poor Italian who adj
vertised for $500 to save him from
a suicides fate Instead of death
he took a new lease of life Fol
lowing the announcement of two
men that they would loan the man
$3.50, his employer, discovering the
identity of the unfortunate, agreed
to retain him in his employ and ar
range for making good the shortage
on easy payments. The Italian con
sui will be asked to sue the loan
sharks for their usurious interest,
which had placed him in the tolls.
The man is employed by a large
company with headquarters in an
other city and branches in every
important place in the country. He
is salesman and collector. When
the Chicago manager read that the
desperate man was an Italian his
suspicion began to rest upon collec-
tor who had not appeared at the
office for three days. The manager
called and stated that if the man was
his employee he would guarantee to
retain him and assist him in making
good. 1t turned out that the mana
ger guessed right.
The collector went to the managers
office yesterday morning and made
clean breast of his trouble. He laid
before his employer an itemized list
of the amounts he owed the firm,
totaling about $3.50. In his distress,
caused by bounding by the loan
sharks, he had borrowed $40 and $40
amounts from various of the con-
Germs customers, which amounts they
deducted from the bills as collected
later by the Italian.
II believe that you are really an
honest man, and that this is your
first and undoubtedly your last
lapse said the manager to his en-
ploye. For that reason / am going
to undertake to keep you in our en-
ploy. We will effeca an arrangement
by which you can pay a stipulated
amount every week until the friends
and our company are repaid"

tears were streaming down the face

AIRSHIPS TO BE
ENGINES OF WAR
Germans Success Has Con-
vinCed SkeptiCS.


New York, Aug. 10.-Count Zeppe-
Inns record breaking voyage with
his great airship surprises no one
familiar with the present state of the
art of aerial navigation. That a
modern motor balloon can be de-
pended upon to make voyages of
from one to two thousand miles, IN
der fairly favorable conditions. has
long been known to men who are
familiar with aeronautics. Count
Zeppelin's success is epoch-making
in that it convinces a skeptical world
of the practicability of airships and
of their utility as engines of war and
as instruments of exploration of the
upper air, as we'll as of parts of the
earth otherwise inaccessible, like the
great unknown area surrounding the
north pole. Recent demonstrations
without doubt will assure the rapid
| building of aerial nayies by the chief
| military powers In fact, Germany
France, Great Britain and the United
States are already moving in that di-
rection. France has the Lebaudy and
La Republique already in commits
sion
The modern airship or motor bal
loon will prove to be an effective en-
CINE of war. She can make recon-
noissances Of an enemys position,
flying at an altitude giving her inn
munity from the enemy's guns. She
can not only gain valuable informa-
ton, but she can make attacks upon
strategic points, such as cities and
| bridges and forts and the camps of
hostile armies, by dropping explos-
ives down upon them. This phase of
the aerial warfare of the future has
| been declared impracticable by some
critics, because the dropping of a
thousand pounds of explosive from a
ship of the air would instantly cause
her to shoot UP to a great altitude
The critics who think this a fatal OBJ
| lection are not familiar with the art of
airship construction and operation.
| Dropping 1000 pounds of ballast or
weight of any sort from a small bal
| loon, dirigible, like the one Captain
Baldwin has built for the United
States government, would, of course.
be either impracticable, because the
ship could not carry so much, or
dangerous if she should carry it. But
that weight suddenly released is a
mere bagatelle compared to the total
lifting capacity of such a ship as the
Zeppelin.
The Zeppelin is the largest ship
ever built Her volume is about
400, 200 cubic feet. The next largest
ship is the America, 100000 cubic
feet. The French ships have about
$4,000 cubic feet In the opinion of
most experts the Zeppelin is. too
large. Count zepplin is the only i'm
portant aeronautic engineer in the
world who adheres to the idea of a
rigid frame within the envelopes
which holds the gas and the subdivis-
ion of the balloon into many compart-
ments. In all other types of construc-
ton rigidity of form and shape is
secured by the simple means of in
terror pressure. The weight of the
rigid frame in the Zeppelin ship is
so great that Notwithstanding the en-
ormous total lifting power, due to the
size, the net available lifting pow
err, which can be used for carrying
crew, fuel, provisions or explosives,
is relatively small

VOTE FOR WOMEN

They toured the town, scattering
literature and informing the villag-
ers that a meeting would be held in

Heading the party was Mrs B.

Her Companions were DR.. Maude

Margaret Coleman, a woman voter of
Denver, Clio, and Miss Mary Cole
man. New York lawyer.
The government executive affices
early in the day learned of the pro-
posed visit of the suffragettes, and
the secret service men were told to
keep a lookout for them Every
man of the secret service was at the
offices or on duty at Sycamore Hill,
and Joseph Murphy, second in COM
mand, was sent to the railroad sta
ton to get an early sight of the WISH
tors.
Mrs. Wells, who said she partici-
pated in the suffragette demonstra-
tons in London, explained that Pres
ident Roosevelt had been informed
that the women would hold meeting
on the corner in front of the grocery
store over which are the executive
offices.
The union wrote to the President
requesting that he receive several
of the members, but he sent word he
was too busy to see them. 1t was
thought that the suffragettes might
go to Sycamore Hill Notwithstanding

their meeting they canvassed the town

East yesterday.
He was met at the train by his in
tended wife's aunt, Mrs. Bray, of
El Paso, Texas, and told to get out of
town on the next train. He was in
formed that the girls mother had
changed her mind about the we'd
ding.
He insisted on seeing his intended
bride, but admission to the home was
refused him. The girl had been
locked in her room and closely guard
er by her mother and other relatives
Before being placed in the automo-
bile she fought and screamed, but
collapsed on the sidewalk after her
mother had thrown saturated hand
kerchief over her face At Coal City
the scene was repeated, and she was
carried aboard the train after becom-
ing unconscious.
DR.. Fitzgerald, frantic over the
loss Of his bride, is now making an
effort to find where the girl has been
taken His friends here have en-
ployed detectives in an effort to locate
her.
Mrs. Ludwig recently inherited a
fortune from her father. Her hus-
band is at Palo Alto, Cal They have

popular in Norris. DR.. Fitzgeralds
