There can be no long felt or deeply
serious depression from financial panic
in a country whose agricultural pro-
duction is increasing at the rate OF

of the ground in the year just coming

OF 100.0O0,000 population-an increase
OF more than third of billion over

come despite the fact that cotton and

value, have experienced a heavy slump
in price as compared with the prices
prevalent year ago.

The sad plight of an old couple
driven from the home they had given
to their daughter is pitiful testimony
to the heartlessness of children who
are humored, petted and pampered
into selfishness by indulgent parents
The daughter who turns her aged par
ents into the street is like the hus-
band who borrows his wife's girlhood
savings and spends them on other
women. In each case the fault is in
fathers and mothers who permit their
children to grow up selfish. Parents
and wives who are tempted to sacri-
nee the little substance which guar.
antees their independence should be-
ware Love is blind, and there is dan
ger in fntrusting common sense to

in the first quest had required a sec
! ond trip. The third day passed with
anxious expectations but no news
The fourth, however, was a memoir
able one; for then it became known to
the entire civilized world that the
heads of nation had been abducted
and the situation in Washington grew
almost unbearable.
In response to an urgent message to
the plant, "Old Bilr' Roberts, Norma,
and Bevins appeared on the fifth
night, utilizing the new radioplane for
their visit The gravity OF the con-
sultation which followed was intense;
but the faith of the inventor In his
work afforded some measure of re-
lief.
1T would be almost impossible" he
asserted, for anything worse to be-
fall them than delay. They may have
been cast away in the air or on the
land by an accident to their steering
gear, which would require fight in
straight lines. Nothing but a blow
such as was sustained by Seventeen
in battle could even temporarily stop
both dynamos; hence it Is improbable
that they lost their lives"
Step by step he reasoned out the
course which would be pursued. and at
last gave it as his opinion that the
Norma had come to ground in Cana
dian woods. He suggested searching

and the opportunity to establish per

stood steadfast for the latter hope.
and was quick to offer new plan. 1t
was that the people of Great Britain
themselves should have a conclusive
and fnal demonstration, and, yielding
TO his arguments, it was agreed upon.
The project was no less daring than
those which had been executed before.
The Dreadnought was to be deposited
in the Thames under cover of darx-
ness. and in an apparently impossible
position, where the people of London
might look upon 1t as an object les
son. Immediately afterwards the king
and his most powerful officials were
to be shown the working of the radio
plane. that they might be in position
to advance measures for peace and
disarmament, fortifying their argu-
ments by their own observations. The
utmost secrecy was to be maintained,
because il the meantime the Chinese
armada might have sailed. In case 1t
had not, the secret would be given out
and search begun actively for the
missing Norma and her distinguished
passengers; but in any event British
support would have been assured.

THE Too-cLEvER WOMAN.

Man unjustiy accuses woman OF en-
joying a monopoly of vanity, when, as
a matter of fact. no woman Is any
more vain than most men, and in some
respects mere man is so much more
vain than woman that comparison is
ridiculous A good many men spend
as much time as any belle over their
attire and the manner of its assump-
ton on state occasions, but the real
vanity of man concerns his brains. He
likes clever woman, but the very in
slant he suspects she is cleverer than
he. he takes fright. His vanity is
hurt. Inasmuch as awe and love are
not given to rambling leafy lanes hand
in hand, and man in his superiority
likes to believe woman dependent upon
him mentally as well as for creature
needs, the woman who is really clever
will never allow her cleverness to OBJ
trude itself too strongly upon men.
Wit is good servant, but bad mas
ter. The girl who acquires reputa-
ton for putting on airs, or being
smart is never popular among men.
The too-clever woman is handicapped
by her cleverness. 1t sometimes pays
TO pamper foolish, egotistic man. and
use wit with discretion.

compiished without incident, but not
without difficulty. The Roberts
swooped down from the heights of
air, untenanted save by her, to find
spread between the earth and sky a
blanket of fog, thick and impene-
trable. Into it she slowly dropped,
cropping this way and that over the un-
suspecting city, whose sounds came
up to her but gave no hint az to
locality. Aimlessly she wandered here
and there in the murk, taking desper-
ate chances in her quest. Suddenly
something doomed directly below the
open port, from which Bevins was
leaning and peering down. and only a
quick change of course avoided a col
lision. Fields joined him, and iden-
titled the dome of Saint Pauls. 1t
was narrow escape, but enabled
them to set their course and gain the
deserted greens of Saint James Park,
where Bevins was lowered by ropes
to the earth.
He stood for moment while the
bulk of the radioplane and the Dread
nought which she was carrying rose
into the air and disappeared from
view. He felt alone In an unfriendly
city, but set his teeth and stumbled
out to a street, where he enlisted the
services of a constable and a hanson.

to the park entrance, where the won

his head and marveling at the idiosyn-

never to have reasonable destination.

limped through the paths to his rem
