A Poetic Comparison.

The poet was favortng friendly soul with his last verses, says writer in St. James Budget. The verses were descriptive of beautiful girl. The poet read:
 Her hair was massed in flowing curls. The color of whisper"
 This made the listener ''sit up." "What's that7 he said. Read that again."
 q thought you would say something about that" the poet answered. "l don't want to appear egotistical, but that little phrase gives some scope for the exercise of the mind.".
 "In what way?"
 The poet laughed.
 "Don't you see," he said, "how beau- tifully that describes the shade of her hair? Every poet speaks of golden hair or raven locks. To be success one must be original. We'll, she did not have golden hair. It was nearly golden, and convey the impression by means of that one word."
 The other still. looked puzzled.
 "You have heard" said the poet pa- ticntly, that silence Is golden?"
 "Yes," the other admitted.
 "Well," resumed the poet, If silence is golden what would whisper be! It would be nearly golden. wouldn't it?"
 The poet laughed again. The other was sitting down and could not stag ger, 50 he laughed too.

 Washington, Sept. 1.-The Aero nautic tests at Fort Meyer, Virginia, the military post opposite this city, resulted yesterday in great victory for Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, who broke the worlds record both for time and distance with machine heavier in weight than air. The government, in re- sponse to its advertisement for bids to furnish it with. successful flying ma- chimes, received forty responses. It su bmitted the following tests which the applicants must meet: the inven- tor must be an American in civil life, the. machine must carry two men and gasoline enough for a trip of 125 miles, they must circle over Fort Myer and vicinity and remain in the air over an hour and land at the fort without breaking anything and they must at least make thirty-six miles an hour and to get full price must make forty miles an hour. On these conditions A. Herring of New York, Capt. T. s. Baldwin of California and the Wright Brothers entered the contest. Im- mense interest centered in the test and great crowds were assembled The success of the Wrights in North Carolina and France created great in- iv, afk ko nts n xuit1 ho prize and rise of their machine as it slid off it's track was watched with in- tense curiosity. In spite of high wind, the Wright Brothers aeroplane remained in the air sixty-five minutes and fifty-two seconds and circled above the Fort Meyer drill grounds fifty eight and landed quietly in perfect condition amid great aplpause. Ofn- cials claim her speed is forty-two miles an hour. This insures the Wright Brothers of not on'y the pur- chase price promised by the govern ment amounting to $2O, 900 but bonus of $50, 900 besides.
