conditions should the airship have com

This mornings descent was neossst-

bearing and by lack OF gas. Five hun

could not arrive before o'clock in the
evening In any case. the refuing OF the
gas bag in the open country would have
been a most dangerous experiment. which

cessfuI flights. one Of them being more
than 90 miles In this trip the airship
remained eight hours in the air.
This demonstration of what might Be

inventor as a crank They changed
their minds completely when the imperial

Much of the so-called friendship
today is but pretense. It exists
only in name and as soon as it
ceases to be advantageous it is
dropped. The friendship that
continues the same in prosperi-
ty and adversely is to be priced,
but all others are worthless. 1t
matters not how hard a man may
struggle to do right and make a
success of life there is always some
loathsome reptile, some worthless
wretch who is ready to drag him
down to blight his hopes, and blast
his fondest abitions. The loss Of
money and property is not the
greatest loss a man can sustain in
the business world: far better to
lose your money than to lose hope
and ambition.-Ex.
