Baby must absolutely make this initial appearance
in the house, promising to answer for his return
whole in life and limb.
With fearful anticipations Elizabeth kissed Baby
goodby and smothered him in blankets and shawls
until not even the pink tip OF his wee nose could be
What dangers of drafts, of colds, of change,

world, through the pers of long halls and steep
stairways!
At last, full of smiles, Sarah brought the child

how the men had laughed uproarously and passed
the Baby from profane hand to hand

CLEVER DEVICE OF
THIEF DISCOVERED
Reports of Bank Note Losses Lead
Police to Watch Until Mechanical
Retriever Is Finally Detected

PARIS, Dec. 26.-Many complaints
having been made of robberies of
banknotes from bank officials here. de-
tectives We're specially instructed to
keep watch at the banks. The other
day they succeeded in capturing a
man who gave the name of GolsWoy
and said he came from Manchester. He
was caught i'm the act Of stealing a
bundle of banknOtes in remarkable
manner.
Taking his stand at the counter of a
bank among others, he drew out a PEN
Gil and notebook and for some time APP
peared to be absorbed in calculations
and figures.
As the detectives watched him there
was seen to project from the end of
his heavy Walking-stick, which he
had placed upon the counter, a long
thin piece of metal which gradually
protruded until it reached a bundle of
banknotes placed on the counter by a
messenger who was verifying the
amount before paying them in. The
metal arm had no sooner reached the
bundle than it developed a hook, and
attaching itself to the bundle, drew it
carefully back toward the thief.
The man was about to leave with the
bundle when the detectives caught
him.
At his room in a hotel $4,000 and two
other sticks containing similar mechan-
ism were discovered.

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-The sereechng of a
parrot in the La Sale street station last
night frustrated the plans OF a runaway
wife and later the bird was :he means of
effectng a reconciliation between the woman
and her husband, Edward Zarndt. They
were married a year ago at South Bend,
Ind, and. among their wedding gifts, was
the parrot.
When the husband returned home from
his work last evening he found his wife
had gone, taking the talkatiye bird Sur
missing that she had started back 10 her
old home. Zarndt hurried To the la Sale

KNOX PROVEN
IN Al CLASS
BIG STOCK RACING CAR CLEAR
LY PROVES SUPERIORITY
A Perfect Machine Built by One of
Five Oldest Firms in United
States Shows Her
Qualities

Anothe~ pronounced success of yes
terday was the showing made by the
big Knox racer owned by Barney Old
field and driven by himself in the five
mile handicap, which he won with
ease. 1t is TO be regretted that its
regular driver, Fred shaw, could not
be seen at the wheel of the Knox, for
it is there that Shaw has made his
reputation as track driver which Vies
with those i'm the hall of fame. Crank
ink the Darracq the day previous,
Shaw had his hand badly smashed, so
that yesterday, although present on
the track. he was unable to take his
car, owing to the injuries he had re-
ceived.
The Knox comes from one of five Of
the oldest automobile manufacturing
establishments in the United States,
and is one of the few factories that
can make and complete its cars within
its own establishment. Large additions
in 1907, as well as over $150,000 invested
in new equipment. placed it as one of
the best in the world for the manufac-
ture of high grade automobiles exclu-
sively. Recently more large additions
have been built to meet the increasing
demand for Knox cars.
A very important point in the pro-
duction of high grade cars is the abil-
ity to secure high class mechanics. In
this respect. it is a fact that nearly all
the best machine tool and gun factories
are located in New England, which is
as a consequence a natural center for
skilled mechanics.
That this car is constructed by the
highest of skilled mechanics and of the
highest and best of material was
demonstrated yesterday when Oldfield
shot the huge racing stock car around
Ascot park and nailed the time of 4:47
to the record mast. Nothing could
have worked more perfectly than the
Knox. Her singing motor is a cheerful
baritone sound, and every stroke of her
engines may be heard coming down the
track in perfect rhythm. Never a miss
does she make. Never a hesitation in
responding to the touch of her driver.
Consistent in all the performances a
car may be called to do, the Knox has
made a host Of friends in her work of
the past two days.
1t is the fact that the Knox, being a
stock car purely, gives the public the
evidences 1t asks for, and the Varia-
tions between the real racing car like
the Benz and the same perfection in
detail as shown by the brown car
which clipped off the miles on the rae
ing track in about 56 seconds per mile.
In keeping with the car is her driver,
Fred Shaw, who is a master in knowl-
edge Of machines and of the racing
track. Unassuming, intelligent and
congenial, his friends will be numbered
among the thousands before he COM
pletes the tour Of Barney Oldfeld with
whom he is associated as his racing
driver Of the Knox.

Same Set of ooodyears

When an automobile is making miles
under a minute or thercabouts there
are few who stop to give the most es-
sential thing TO a car-the tires-the
consideration they deserve. The Buick
for example used Goodyear tires in the
siX-hour race and previous to that
time, too, her Goodyears had made the
very hard trip to Phoenix when this
same car Won that race. and yester-
day she went out in the fifty mile con-
test and made good again on the same
set of tires without a hitch of any
kind whatever.
The strain and wear on tires skid
ding the curves on a racing track is
something terrific, so much SO that
many of the manufacturers of tires
have refused to stand behind their
wares if the cars entered the racing
game Not so with the Goodyears IN
almost every race the Goodyears are in
evidence and always make good. The
Bucks performance shows that and
it is such events which go to prove the
sterling qualities Of the stuff from
which they are made and the manner
in which they are manufactured.

ESTABLISHING kER0PLANE
SCHOOLS FOR AER0PLANISTS
interesting Details as to the Instrue=
ton of Pupils and How They
Are Taught to Fly

Aeroplane schools are being estab-
lished throughout France. When
Henry Farman broke away from the
Noisin brothers he pitched on the mill
tary camp at Mourmelon, near Cha
Ions, as the future scene of his activi-
ties.
A vast plain two hours from Paris
by rail, but so far removed from viii
lagos as to be beyond the reach of
crowds, was loaned to him by the
military authorities.
Adjoining land was bought, work
shops We're erected and the first aero
plane school was established in the
champagne land.
There is a special aeroplane known
as the taxi" on which pupils are
taught to fly. It's power is low and
its plane so adjusted that it can only
be got off the ground with a certain
amount of difficulty. For the first
lesson Instructor Chateau mounts with
the pupil by his side, and while alter
nately running over the ground and
flying through the air explains the
movements To his pupils.
Then comes the first flight alone.
Starting from the door Of the shed
the machine runs up the rising ground
without being able TO rise into the air.
Then the top of the slope is reached,
ana the uDNuNdIu run commenced. II
the aeroplane is handled properly it
will fly over the descending ground
without any particular effort of the
pilot. After covering about a mile,
however, the rising ground is again
reached and as the power Of the en-
gine has not been sufficient to rise to
a great altitude, the wheels touch and
the machine once more runs over the
surface.
When it is possible to fly around the
course in this manner the pupil is
sufficiently advanced to take his own
machine, equipped with a more power
ful motor and adjusted to rise from
the sloping ground. Under this method
of instruction very little time is lost
in repairs The taxi has covered
several thousand kilometers. running
over the ground and flying i'm the air
in the hands of various pupils without
a single breakage.
The time necessary to learn varies
considerably, one pupil flying easily
after Two lessons, while another strug-
giles for months. Instrutor Chateau
finds that the best pupils are auto
mObilists who have had Yachting eX-
perience. The automobile has made
them familiar with high speed while
the gentle movements of the helm on
Il sailing vessel have prepared them
for similar movements with the eleVa-
tion rudder and Warping planes of a
flying machine.

DIVORCED HUSBAND
LIABLE TO ALIMONY

CHICAGO, May 11.-Divorced men
have received a shock from Judge Far
lin Q. Ball that has caused not a few
of them to seek the advice OF lawyers.
Though divorced fifty years and
though no mention of alimony has been
made in the decree. no divorced man is
safe from the payment of alimony so
long as his former wife lives and fails
to remarry, according to the decision.
Judge Ball announced that while a
decree of divorce ended the other marital
obligations, the duty of husband to
support his wife and her right to de-
mand and receive such support, was not
thereby ended.
In other words, a wife who obtained
a divorce twenty-five years ago or even
fifty, can bob UP Unexpectedly and, hav-
ing discovered that her former spouse
has become wealthy or merely well
r1xed, may go into court and successful
ly demand her rights"
That is, of course, provided she has
not married in the meantime or did not
accept a stipulated alimony when she
was divorced.
