Cotton and Wool

The Senate is on the eve of taking VI
the wooden and the cotton schedules OF
the tariff bill, and we should witness
some lively sparring between the oppos
ing forces AS the proposition for free
raw materials has gone by the board
what about the duties on finished prod
ucts for which protection has done sc
much? New England is all attention, and
the south as a manufacturer of cotton
goods is far from apathetic. What are
the points of agreement, or disagreement
between Massachusetts and Georgia, or
Connecticut and the Carolinas about bust
ness in which all are engaged?

The Regular Army.

From the FhlIHUtIpnId LeNKFT.
Even the little war with Spain was
enough to show that great nation
which is liable to foreign entanglements
must have some fighting force ready that
can be relied upon for instant action. This
is the obvious lesson of history which
the President recognized in his tribute
to the army at Gettysburg. He is not ad-
vocating a great armament. He is plead
ing only for a just recognition of the
army national safeguard. With our
vast coast line and our scattered foreign
dependencies it is absurd to hold it down
to the numerical standards Of the last
century; but even irrespective Of num-
bers. as source of security, an abstract
embodiment of national authority and
pure patriotism. it should have generous
support and high place in the apprecia-
tion and confidence of the whole country.

She Is Their Sister Catherine,

turned home with them after enjoying
the favor of kings. presidents and

There is no pettier story than the de-

five children-four boys and a girl. One
of the boys left home early and now
resides in Kansas. Another became a
bookkeeper, married, and had a family
of his own to look after. The sister

at home with their parents and this
sister. About the time the two brothers
got through school, the bicycle craze
was at its height, and they engaged in
bicycle repairing as a business.
1t was while conducting this bust
ness that they began working upon a
machine which developed into the fly
ing machine. Their original idea was
to make a toy, a sort of aerial tobog-
gan upon which a fellow could have
fun. They constructed a plane of that

Wright who brought the ~aeroplane to
the attention of the men who would
have to be dealt with. The letters
which the representatives of foreign
governments received were written by
this woman in the name of her
brothers.
All this time Miss Wright was going
daily to the schoolroom. Even their
neighbors did not know she took any
interest in the flying machine. They
knew, that it was characteristic of the
Wrights to be devoted to one another
But they did not know that this patient
school teacher had mastered the in
~tricacies of the air and that she had
been in correspondence with govern
ments, carrying on the promotion END
of the flying machine.
Even after the Wright aeroplane had
become famous and her brothers were
demonstrating it to the world, Miss
Wright continued her occupation OF
teaching. 1t was not until Orville
Wright met with the accident at Fort
Meyer, which came near costing him
his life, that she gave up her position
and FASTENED to him. She remained
until he was able to travel, took hin,
home, nursed him to health, n &C
companied him on his recent trip tc
France.
Miss Wright has always been modest
n retiring. In the schoolroom she
vas popular, despite the fact that she
was exacting. And she is one woman
who las proved that she could keep a
secret.-Hampton's Magazine.

Then the idea of attaching a motor to

careers that the aid of the sister was

began talking about flying machines,
she grew enthusiastic Right away
Wilbur and orville Wright, with the
aid of their sister, took up the serious
study of ~aeronautics. They read every

sister ordering the books for them as
they learned of the volumes that had
appeared. But they did not believe
everything they read in the books, and
that vas their salvation, in a sense.
Miss Wright made the calculations.
and her brothers made the experiments.
The three worked together. Before any
demonstration was made. before her
brothers had tested the machine they
were building, Miss Wright knew that
it was possible for man to fly. She was
the first woman in the world to know it
positively. She knew it because she
herself had made the calculations. She
was willing to stake what little money
she had saved from her salary as a
school teacher. along with the smaller
amount her brothers had saved. upon
the outcome of the device to be made
according to her calculations. She
