TRAVELS ONLY THIRTY MILES
Breaking of Guide Rope Releases
Thousand Pounds of Provisions and
Sends DirigibIe Soaring Above
Clouds and Cooms Expedition to
Failure.
(By Associated Press).

CAMP WELLMAN, SPlTZBUR-
GEN, Aug. 10, via Hamerfest, Aug.
2l.-Walter Wellman's second at
tempt TO SAL over the north pole in
a balloon has resulted in failure. Th'.
giant dirigible balloon America, in
which Mr.. Wellman and his party OF
three set out upon their periious
flight today met with mlshap after
1t had proceeded about thiriy-Iwo
miles from the starting point. Nj.
Wellman and his party succeeded in
making a landing without injury to
any member, and returned to this
point on the steamer Fran, which
also towed in the disabled balloon.
After a long preparation and wait
ing for favorable weather. the OPP
portunity came today, and Mr.. Well
man decided early i'll the morning to
make the start.
At 10 o'clock in the morning the
anchors were cast loose, the airsh;p
ascending beautifully. The engines
were set in motion and everythins
seemed to work to perfection. The
big air craft was headed northward
and set out at q twenty-five miles an
hour.
Guide Rope Snaps.
After having covered some thirty
two miles, the leather guide rope, to
which was attached thousand
pounds OF provisions and stores,
broke away. This was just as the
airship was nearing the pack-ice OF
north Spitzburgen.
Released from this great weight the
airship shot upwards at a terrlhc
pace, until it was at great hight
above the clouds. The pilots sue
ceeded, however, in bringing her
down near the earth, turned her
about and set out to fight their way
southwark against a strong wind. The
airship proceeded slowly southwark
to the edge of the pack ice where
the steamer Fran was anchored.
Party Transferred to Steamer.
The Fran started to tow the air
ship to Spitzburgen. The strain was
so great, however, that it threaten
ed to tear the car, to which the rope
was attached, to pieces, and Mr. Well
man nHalty ueCiutu W uiHh5 enS "a"
ship down to the surface OF the water.
This was effected without mishap,
and the car rested on the surface OF
the water, until all the members or
the cr<w, the dogs and the scientific
instruments could be transferred
aboard the Fran. A fresh start was
made. and the America was towed
back to the landing stage and with
in a short distance OF where the start
was made.
Great Balloon ExpIodes.
But the ill-luck of the expedition
was not vet at an end. Just as the
airship had reached the landing stage
and everything locked favorable fof
it's rescue without serious damage, a
sudden gust of wind caught the big
inflated bag broadside and snatcned
il away from it's tow lines
I; was carried careening over rough
ice hammocks for some distance. and
then IL exploded. All the scattered
parts of the airship we're subsequent
Iy recovered. but the damage was SO
great as TO preclude any further at

There's an ancient institution
That is called a resolution
1t is something you can make or you
can take;
But | think it5s an illusion,
And I've come to the conclusion
That a New Years resolution is a
fake.
My reasons are most ample,
And I'll hand you out a sample
Years Day: az
For when New Years comes around
There are oaths and VOWS profound,
But it doesn't take them long to
fade away.
Impolite intoxication
And it's consequent vexation,
By fearful lot of fellows is for
sworn,
But the tempting palliation
OF a slight inebriation
Is an awful welcome solace in the
morn.
All the sins of our commission
And the wrong done through omission
We're inclined on New Years Day
to put behind.
But the sudden deviation
Is a strange and sad sensation
That too often makes a fellow change
his mind.
Now the best determination
Is to cut out explanation
And to do the decent thing without
a pledge,
For if we cannot do it
Thout a pledge is pasted to it,
It's very certain that we're going to
hedge
If we've got the constitution
To fulfill a resolution
Why there isn't any need for a
resolve,
Any more than earth requires
Any priest or flock of friars
To assist it on it's axis to revolve.
Oh, there is no inquisition
Like a period of transition
Between answering off and swear
ing on,
And the best way to get through it
Is to do, or not to do 1t,

There is a certain very well haber-
dashed young man in this city whose
about whom an interesting story is be-
ing told 1t is said that he was best
man at wedding which took place at
the Young Hotel and that when the
ceremony was over he advanced hur-
riedly toward the bride, and instead OF
kissing her, as she certainly had a
right to expect, stretched out his hand
and said:
Il, Mrs. D., | w-w-w-want to

A Noble Lifework for
Women

A hundred thousand trained nur-
ses would not be too large an army
to meet the universal need for their
services, which is so great that the
Philadelphia School for Nurses, Of
22t9 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia,
Pa, in trying to meet a small part
of the demand, has grown to be the
largest school for nurses in the
world.
The School is working for a vastly
larger number of nurses, greater
efficiency and greater victoriesin the
irrational conflict against disease and
d ath 1t desires to help physicians
IA villages and country districts,
where hospital service and scientific
nursing are lacking. II wants to
bring TO the School hundreds and
thousands of bright girls from coun-
try towns and districts. give them a
thorough training, and send them
hack TO be blessing--the right
hand and main reliance of tue lshysi-
clan.
Ii wants women everywhere
every mother. wife aud daughter TO
learn the great essentials of scientific
nursing. not only for use and protec
ton in their own hornes. but so that
they TOO can share in 9.is great hu.
mani'arian work, this is to save
hundreds Of tnousands of lives from
preventabie disease and suffering.
For many women the School has
opened the way to a lil6 work of use
fitness, blessing and self support.
The School holds that the traint d
nurse is called to high mission. to
ba fulfilled in a spirit of devotion; ii
also holds that she Is entitled 10 q
comfortable income from her work
The idea of self suppor. is as legiu
mate as the idea of fulfilling noble
mission, and it may be safely af-
frmed that scientific nursing com.
man'ls a far lareer rsturn than most
of tne callings op to women.
A large number Of vacancies will
soon be aGailable in the variou,
! courses of the School, some of which
! arr entirely free. and young womer
, who desire to enter upon this grea'
work should take prompt advantage
/ Of this golden opportunity. Th'
School is situated in pleasan, omar

The Trained Nurse

For young woman who wishes
fine profession. well paid and in sv-
cry way desirable, there is nothing
that can compete with the profession
of nursing The brightest and most
refined choose il as life work. Al
the outset the duties may seem hard
and distasteful but they are imposed
only as = test of resolution and en-
durance and soon the work is made
more agreeable. No labor is always
easy aud every profession has its irk
some tasks and days when there
seems no silver in the cloud bus
cheerfulness and q determination to
overcome them and succsed will dis
pei the gloom and diligence and per-
severance will receive their foil te.
