WHEN YOU GET RICH,
Only Then Arc You Appreciated for

Upton Sinclair the novelist, was

Nobody can deny that. Many of the
pleasures of wealth. though, are false
and mistaken ones.

His stories did not pay; he was
very poor; but an aunt died. and sud

millionaire
He saw me one afternoon on Broad
way. He stopped his red car and we
chatted about old times.
And is 1t pleasant to be rich?'
asked,
Yes. 1t is,' he answered, as he
lighted Vuelto Abajos and handed
me another. And do you know what
is the pleasantest thing about 1t? You

able to do this some day?'' asked the
correspondent.
why not?" replied Mr. Wright
1T is only question of time and
study. We already know that the
wind travels in eddies or spirals
which are conelike in form, and on
which all manner of objects are car
ried upward
THE currents of air are just the
things which disturb us when we fly
under present conditions, because we
have to pass through them by mechan-
ical means. When the art of flying is
developed they will aid us rather than
annoy u.s.
But it only would be when the wind
is strong that such currents would be
useful" objected the correspondent
Just tie contrary" replied Mr..
Wright 1T is when there is almost
an absence of wind that these spirals
become more pronounced. When the
wind is very strong they do not take
the same form AS consequence,
they are not of the same value for lift
ing purposes.
"a buzzard does not go out in high
winds. Indeed, you will find, if you
study the question. that most birds re-
main under shelter when the wind at
tains anything like respectable force.
That is why we claim that with one of
our present machines we can remain
out flying as long as birds, with rea-
sonable practice.
Flying is not the most simple thing
in the world, though 1t is by no means
so difficult now as il generally is i'm
agined to be. What is required is
practice. Is there anything worth do
ing which does not require certain
amount of study and practice? My
brother and l have thought out ma
chine which we find it difficult to i'm
prove for the time being
I'VE are now presenting it to the
world. and in doing so we are show
ing how to handle it. 1t is a mistake
to think that we have been flying for
long time We have had far too lit
tie practice.
Had 1t not been that our business
engagements forced us to abandon our
trials at Manteo, N. c., we should have
continued them indefinitely, until we
had the handling of the apparatus
quite in our grasp"
Mr. Wright said this with mod
esty which is all to his credit. He took
the field at Les Hunaudieres because
he thought he would be alone to COM
plete his training. Mr. Wright has
now recognized that the presence of
the public and press is inevitable. with
the result that he is nerving himself
for his future tests. All who have
been privileged to meet him feel con-
fidsnt that he will easily accomplish
what he claims and great deal more

Women Fishermen.

On the coast of Holland, Belgium
and Northern France the fisherwomen
are familiar sight. with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes. Many
of the towns have distinctive costumes
by which their women can be recog-
hized anywhere. Those of Mana Kirke,
near Ostend, wear trousers and loose
blouses, while their heads and Shout
ders are covered by shawls. They
carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities of shrimps and
prawns. with an occasional crab or
lobster and many small fish. They
often wade out till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at a time in water above their knees.

There has never been such census OF

the population of the empire is, in

The Wish Book.

An ingenious woman who is fond
of music and art has made an inter
esting wish book, which she calls
THE Moonbeam." Its plan is based
on the superstition that wishes made
when seeing the new moon will be
granted.
1t is n charming little conceit,. and
has Just that symbolic touch that
every person wishes. 1t is gotten up
in an artistic way, with number of
illustrations representing scenes in
which the moon appears.
Each page has border illustrated
with fanciful and symbolic designs. In
fact, the spirit of superstition is
brought into play on every page of
the book.
On the pages are spaces for each
day of the year, in which wishers are
to write their most precious desires,
signing their names beneath. There
are also pages for common everyday
wishes.

SERIOUS CHARGES.
Lawyer For National Mercantile Co Says Norton Converted to Own Use

Portland. Me-, April 1.-Sensa- tional charges were made yesterday in the supreme court before Judge H. c. Peabody against Lucius B. Nor ton, president and treasurer of the National Mercantile company. J. T. Robinson of Hartford, in addressing the court, said that Norton, who was arrested in Hartford on Saturday on the charge of embeZzlement, has con- verted to his own use money which had been collected for the clients of the National Mercantile company and that the total amouna of such collections would run into the hun dreds of thousands of dollars.
 He told the court that he had not had an opportunity to examine care fully the books and documents of the National Mercantile Company, which are in the hands of the ancil- lary receiver, John J. McKone of Hartford, but the brief examination which he had made had been suffi- cient to convince him that Norton had been perpetrating gigantic fraud and that his victims number hundreds of merchants all over New Englend and in the middle states. He also intimated to the court that Norton would probably be prosecuted for the fraudulent use of the mails.

DAY WINS FIRST
Chancellor of Syracuse Uuiver. siiy Upheld By Bishop Moore
 Who Dismissed Charges.

New York, April 1.-The charges preferred against Chancellor Day of Syracuse university, by the Rev George A. Cooke of Brendon, Vt, were ruled out of court by Bishop David H. Moore at the opening of the 109th New York Methodist Epis- copal conference to-day. Bishop Moore in dismissing the charges said he regarded the complaint against Chancellor Day as a direct attack upon free speech and free press, The decision was greeted by cheers and long continued applause.
 The charges against Chancellor Day contained five counts and were to the effect that he had defamed President Roosevelt in some of his public utterances. Dr Day made no effort to answer the charges. In his address announcing the decision to throw out the charges of MT Cooke, Bishop Moore said that the same charges might just as well be brought against some member of the U. s. senate as against Dr Day At the conclusion of his address when he asked Shall the character of James R. Day, be passed" the hand of every one of the several hundred delegates in the big hall shot up and another round of applause filled the auditorium.
