The Seuenth Column
Diary of an Aero "Bo,"

Oct. I, 2909.-On the bum again
Beat it out last night under the right
forward wing of the second coach of
the oversky limited, but the crew got
hep and ditched me here on this out
of the way star. Not even a station
here, and it looks like nothing will
ever stop. AS usual l am up against
it. My check wouldn't even draw
breath at the bank. Everything was
lovely, too, as the chorus girls say,
till the panic hit Saturn The EN-
ployees of the Radium works were
the first to go. Just my luck to be
working there, too. But what's the
use of kicking? Wonder what the
chances are for handout on this
star?
Oct. S-Great luck Fell in with a
pal, and we had cook-up together.
We were just done feasting at the eX-
pense OF the country when the first
section of fast aerOplane hog train
was laid up here with hot box The
ShackS let us ride when we agreed to
help them feed the hogs oxygen twice
a day. This looks good as far as
Mars. where l know we can get job
doing canal work. Pretty cold,
though, riding on top of these side
door Pullmans in this weather, and
those blamed hogs are making such
a rumpus that | can't even holler
over to my pal for the makins.

TIE OTHER GIRL.

.!uct about this time, little freshman
too, you are in danger Of grave
fault. The pangS OF Inconsistencies are
beginning to wear off. New interests
are being daily met with in this
wonderful university life, and gradu-
ally the ties that bind you to your
homc-friends are being loosened
Like the fogs settle down on the sea
and dim the outlines OF the ships to
the watcher on shore, the Goings OF
your friends at home no longer
arouse the same interest. The change
is 50 subtle that you are unaware OF
any at all, and you would be very
indignant if someone accused you
OF disloyaity. Yet isn't it true that
You no longer welcome that letter
from your former classmate with
the same eagerness with which you
received the first? You answered the
first at once. How about this one?
Haven't time. The club meets this
afternoon, and then you are going to
attend your first University dance
Really You'll answer tomorrow. OF
course she'll understand that you are
so busy, you say to yourself
But will she?
Remember that she is at home, and
her circle is narrower than YOURS.
Perhaps you planned to attend the
University together. Where you have
been the fortunate one she was the
unfortunate. You may have man,
friends now. She has perhaps onl-
you. Only you, freshman girl. tC
share her secrets with, and tell her
about life at college.
Can you afford to neglect her?

noted for his program" Instinct
holds to the official schedule and
makes few enemies.
1t seems to have been the opinion
of many persons that law or precedent
forbade the President of the United
States to step outside the boundaries
of this country. President Taft says
that no such law exists; so while he
is passing the front gate of our sister
republic, Mexico, he will step over the
line at Juarez and enjoy the hospi-
tality of President Diaz. They will
meet on a strip of neutral territory
on the border, caused by the shifting
of the boundary line-the channel of
the Rio Grande River President Diaz
will also come over into Taft's yard"
for a brief visit.
Then President Taft will return
home through the South, stopping in
the principal cities to say pleasant
things that make for cemented
Union and contented people.
A trip of this sort is commendable
and worth the $4,000 which it will
cost. 1t brings the people and the
President into the closer touch and
which revivifies democracy.

The rain of Sunday afternoon and
evening materially marred the al
.ehdance or the evening service in the
local churches. The majority of the
congregations were but sparcely rep
resented and this was attributed in
most cases TO the long draught. The
ministers seemed TO feel that with
such weather conditions for a few
weeks Marion people would be wllline
to brake the storm.
AT Epworth NJ. Il. church there
were scarcely fifty persons in attend :
ance, this being the lightest attend
ance at this church on any Sunday
evening for many months past. Rev.
ID. H. Bailey had planned to deliver
his address upon the theme "Wom.
ans Rights" but owing to the very
small attendance. he decided to post
pone the address until more ladies
are in attendance. He stated that i'm
his belief woman who would brave
the storm of last evening was sufIi-
ciently strong to obtain her rights In
due time without discussing the mat
ter at length.
Instead, the Epworth pastor spoke
of the storms which come in the life
of every individual In the fifth
chapter of Romans the plan of saliva

seen there how any man who is trou.

in his spiritual needs may through
faith obtain that which he desires. A

his belief many of the tribulations
which come to every individual may
be turned away by faith I'm God as
brought about by a thorough reading
Of the Bible.
