Gentleness Versus Bluster.

I have business friend who is as mod est and as gentle as a woman, says o. s. Warden in Success Magazine, who is never obtrusive or self-assertive but who has most remarkable way of getting things well done and getting people to see things his way. He does it without any noise or pretense He does it as the tender germ of the daffodl lifts its head up through the hard turf by gentle persistency.
 No one feels conscious that this man is trying to influence him, or to get him to do a thing against his will but, somehow, most people about him find themselves doing what he wants them to do He is so delicate in his diplomacy, so gentle in his tact. and so strong in his self-con- fidence that others find themselves agree ing iwth him without really knowing why.
 He has large number of employees un- der him, yet no one ever hears him raise his voice in anger or assertive authority. He is so gentle that strangers often won- der how he manages to have any dis cipline and yet everything goes like clockwork in his establishment. His en- ployes respect him, like him, because he is always kind, considerate, and never scolds. frets, or nags; but they know that when he gives an order or makes sug- gestion it must be obeyed.

TThe Man Who Can Talk Well. Orison Swett Marden in Success Maga-


 zine.
 There is no other one thing which en- ables us to make so good an impression, especially upon those who do not know us thoroughly, as the ability to converse we'll A man who can talk well, who has the art of putting things in an attractive way, who can interest others immediately by his power of speech, has very great advantage over one who may know more than he, but who cannot express himself with ease or eloquence.
 You may be a good singer, fine artist, you may have great many accomplish ments which people occasionally see or enjoy; you may have a very beautifu,<> home and a lot of property which com paratively few people ever know about; but if you are a good converser, every one you meet recognizes and appreciates your art. Everybody you converse with feels the influence of your skill and charm.
 In other words, there is no accomplish ment no attainment. which you can use so constantly and effectively which will give so much pleasure to your friends a fine conversation. There is no doubt that the gift of language was intended to be a much greater accomplishment than the majority of us have ever made of it.

HE COULD NOT FLY.
An Amateur Wrecks Glenn Curtiss'sI
Aeroplane.

New York, July ia frightened
amateur, sitting like a wooden man,
went UP in Glenn Curtiss's aeroplane,
which lowered a moment in midair and
then crashed to the earth. The beauti-
full craft in which Curtiss made his re-
markable flight Saturday was badly
wrecked. When the would-be aviator
was lifted from the twisted frame he
was delirious. his left arm was broken
and his body bruised. His injuries,
however, are not serious.
The accident occurred on Hampstead
plain, Mineola, where Curtiss has been
giving demonstrations for the New
York Aeronautic society. to which he
recently sold his aeroplane for $1,000
1t was a member of the society, Alex
ander Williams, AZ years of age, who
was injured.
While Williams had driven many an
automobile and is familiar with gas en-
gines, he seemed to lose complete con-
troll of himself as the aeroplane scared
upward. When it had attained a height
Of thirty feet the craft careened sharp
ly to the right, swooped toward the
earth, and, striking on end turned
completely over, then rolled on its
back. Williams remained pinned in his
seat until lifted out. AS a physician
Dent over him Williams muttered THAI
some one had collided with him in the
air
Witnesses declare it was merely a
case of a man attempting something
which taxes the nerves, the body and
the brain simultaneously and that Will
hams simply had stage fright His at
tempted flight followed successful
one by Edward Foster Willard of New
York, also member of the aeronautic
society, who remained in the air for %
minutes, making short flight at an
average height of 20 feet.
Curtiss then took the machine and
made beautiful flight back to the
starting point, cutting several sharp
turns and ascending at one time for
more than a hundred feet, then shoot
thirty feet above the earth. The wit
nesses of the bird-Iike drop, among
them A. NJ. Herring, say it was ex-
tremely spectacular.
Williams, with parting words of eau
ton to keep the machine close to the
ground, started away He had pre-
viously matched coins with Willard to
decide who should make the first flight.
During this he evinced such nervous
ness that a member of the party re-
marked that perhaps he had better not
make the attempt.
The aeroplane glided swiftly over the
ground on its light running wheels aud
then scared gracefully upward. VIII
liams sat apparently motionless and
made no effort to manipulate the rud-
der to keep the craft from rising. Con-
sequently IT began shooting upward
turning at the same time toward the
right like a ship mustered. When it
was thirty feet. the dip to the right be-
came dangerous and the aeroplane,
Keeling, began its fall. The impact was
sufficient to shatter a number of the
machines ribs, breaking both the left
and right wing tips and the front con-
continued to work and the propeller
was demolished as it struck the
ground. A weeks work at least will be
required to patch up the flyer

The STATES 0. K.
It Is Placed on Many High
Schools in Kansas.
Eligible to Have Normal Course
Provided by Legislature.
ROSS READY TO BEGIN
Will Start Tour of Inspection
When Schools Open.
Determine Which Are Entitled
to Aid.

Now that the state board of educa-
ton has passed on the last batch of ap-
plication from~high schools to come un-
der the provisions of the new law for d
normal training school course in high
schools, Special Inspector w. d. Ross
is busy making arrangements to prose-
cute his work of inStituting and in
specting these schools which will begin
early next fall. All told, the state
board has approved 81 schools as
worthy Of state aid for the normal
training course and IS academies AMI
high schools have been approved so far
as certificate advantage is concerned
but not for state aid. State aid means
an appropriation of $500 for each school
to help toward paying the additional
expense of teachers and equipment for
the normal scourse.
Sedan. Herington Wathena, Kinsley,
Hartford. Ness City, Cheney and Rose
dale schools were fully approved by the
board at its last meeting last week, and
the schools at Humboldt, Winfield, the
Industrial institute at Topeka and
Chelsea academy at Kansas City were
approved SO far as certificates ara
concerned.
Seventy counties are now represented
among the list of approved schools
with total enrolment of 1924 pupils
of which 2,046 are nonresident or coun-
try pupils. There are ABB teachers en-
ployed in these schools exclusive of su-
perintendents. AS a result of this nor
maj training course these schools have
promised to add fifty teachers to their
regular complement. Something like
200 juniors and seniors have pledged
themselves to take this course the next
two years. Thew will have the adj
vantage of four years high school
course and professional instruction in
normal subjects behind them.
In other words. this normal in
struction in county high schools
means a large addition of specially
Der of teachers who have nothing but
a common school education. This
special training is brought to their
doors; they do not have to go away
to get it.
The graduates of this course, after
passing satisfactory examinations,
will receive state wide certificates, re-
Movable as long as they teach school. |
In case they also go to the state nor
NAL to get life certificates they can |
years. This high school normal |
course, then, is equivalent to two |
years credit at the state normal |
school
President Hill and State Superin- |
tendent Fairchild have both gone on |
record as declaring that in their opin- !
ion this installation of the normal |
course of study in the high schools is |
the greatest forward step in an edu- |
cationaI way that Kansas has ever |
taken.
The teachers of this normal course |
in the high schools will have to be /
qualified by the state board of educa- |
ton and be passed upon by the state |
The greatest benefits of the new
plan will be apparent in western
Kansas where the good it will do in /
the sparsely settled communities /
cannot be estimated.

PRETENDER IS DEAD.
Don Carlos of Bourbon Falls Victim
to Apoplexy.

Rome. July 19.-Don Carlos of Bour-
bon, pretender to the Spanish throne,
died Sunday at Varese, in lombard.
He had been i'll for a long time and the
latest reports indicated that he was
suffering from apoplexy.
Don Carlos, Duke of Madrid, who
claimed under the special law of sue
cession established by Phillip v to be
the legitimate king Of Spain, by the
title of Charles VII, was born at Lay
bach, Austria, March 80, 1848 His
father, Don Juan. was the brother of
Don Carlos, Charles VI, known as the

children his rights devolved upon his

proclamation to the inhabitants of
Catalonia Aragon and Valencia. call
ing upon them to take up arms in his
cause, entered Spain July 10, 1873, an

country. Then followed the -four

of the Carlists, fell and it's defenders
sought refuge on French territory
Meanwhile the war ended and the
eldest son of former Queen Isabella

Alfonso XII died in 1885 and the fight
for the succession ragged between Don
Carlos and Marie Christina of Austria,
widow of the late king. The posthum-
Gus birth of the present king in 1886,
however, kindled a feeling of loyalty
which has existed up to the present.
Within recent years there has been a
recurrence of the Carlist agitation in
Catalonia and other districts, which
was attributed to influence of Don
Jaime, the only son of Don Carlos, but
these movements have proved to be of
little Importance

BOAT TURNS TURTLE.
Ten Excursionists and Six Swimmers
Drown at New York.

sloop Roxana, carrying twenty-five
passengers. Six were victims of

Captain Samuelson, of the Roxana,
and twelve survivors were picked up
under great difficulty in a rough and
choppy sea by the tug Lamont.
The Roxana was chartered at u
mer beach, Brooklyn, by a party of
Swedes from Brooklyn, for a sail
across the bay to Midland beach,
Staten island and back. The first leg
of the voyage was made without
mishap and all hands went ashore to
make merry. Beer was served and
some survivors could give but a hay
account of the accident.
All afternoon there was a stiff
breeze from the southwest which left
a heavy cross sea. Toward four

and the struggling passengers began
to follow her.
Fortunately the tug Lamont was

before he could reach the Roxana,

HE WOULDN'T BUY a TICKET.
So Rock Island Detective Arrests Man
for Trespasssing on II. X. Property.

Harry Harris, a Hebrew, with $3.50
lies in the prison charged with vag-
rancy while his pal Ed Holton was
set free without a nickel. The arrest
was made by Rock Island Special
Agent Judkins.
The two men came in from Dodge
City on the Santa Fe. They had
been working at the Harvey house
there but Harris alone seems to have
any money. They secured promise
of a job at the Commercial house
here. but went farther to get some
thing more definite. or immediate
work says Harris. Being tired, they
lay under tree in little park near
the Rock Island not thinking it rail-
road property. There they were found
and searched. Harris had money and
was told, he says, that If he would by
a ticket to Kansas City he would be
let do so. He preferred to stay in
Topeka where he had a job offered
him and for that he was arrested
while his pal who had no money was
let off without any stipulation what
ever.
Harris will have to wait until the
evening session of the police court
for hearing because of the trespass
on railroad property.
