of "Oh, you Wright brothers," Going
up!" Make a noise like an airship and

for Dick Ferris, Roy Knabenshue and
other aerialists, whom it expected to
see with the air craft
The Smith aeroplane, which was
just finished this week, is built funda-
mentally on lines similar to that of
the Wrights, but with improvements
for steering that are original with Mr.,
Smith. 1t is bi-plane, 40 feet long,
and is considerably lighter than the
Wright machine, although as strongly
constructed. 1t viii be tried out by
experimental flights at Ascot park, be-
ginning tomorrow afternoon, and as
soon as the builder has mastered con-
troll of the machine he will make an
effort to win the Knabenshue cup. This
is a silver trophy presented by Roy
Knabenshue through the Aero club of
California to the first member of the
club who will fly 500 feet in the air in
a heavier than-air machine of his own
design. 1t was suspended from the top

A woman shoplifter who had passed

who had long record of offenses be.

much was made of her years, as If age

Lack OF employment is not a new
question, Says the Liverpool Mercury
OF February II, 1912: "It Is of the

want OF employment among the labor

not be found In a nation OF which the

ment would come on her for such wick
edness-she would find her husband
| lying dead.
When Emily opened the kitchen
door of the Fair homestead, Almira
| Sentner cried out in her alarm. Who
or what was this creature, with the
white face and wild eyes, with torn
and dripping garments and dishevsled,
wind-writhen hair, and the big drops
of blood trickling from her brow? The
next moment she recognized Emily,
and her face hardened. She had al
ways hated Emily Fair.
What % you want here?" she
asked, harshly.
Where is my husband?" said Emily.

ner, defantly THE doctors won't al

The insolence and cruelty of her
speech fell on unheeding ears. Emily,
understanding only that her husband
yet lived. turned to the hall door.
Stand back" she said, in a voice
that was little more than a thrilling
whisper, but which yet had in it some
things that cowed Almira Sentner's
malice. Sullenly she stood aside, and
Emily went unhindered up the stairs
| to the room where the sick man lay.
The two doctors in attendance were
there, with the trained nurse from the
city. Emily pushed them aside and
fell on her knees by the bed. One of
the doctors made a hasty motion as If
to draw her back, but the other
checked him.

significantly.
Stephen Fair turned his languid, I'M
shorn head on the pillow. His dull,
fevered eyes met Emily's. He had not
recognized anyone all day, but he knew
his wife. Emily" he whispered.
Emily drew his head close to her
face and kissed him passionately.
Stephen, I've come back to you.
Forgive me-forgive me-say that you
forgive me-"
Its all right, my girl" he said,
feebly.
She buried her face in the pillow
beside his with sob.
In the wan, gray light of the au-
tumn dawn the old doctor came to the
bedside and lifted Emily to her feet.
She had not stirred the whole night.
Now she raised her white face with
dumb pleading in her eyes. The doc
tor glanced at the sleeping man on
the bed.

AN OLD TIMER


A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee if one values
health and clear brain. She says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market 1 was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee. Finally l decided to take
his advice and try Postum. l got a.
package and had it carefully prepared,
finding it delicious to the taste So
continued its use and very soon its
beneficial effects convinced me OF It's
value. for 1 got well of my nervous
ness and dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking COZ
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and l persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change, TOT
the Postum is so delicious 1t GER
tainly worked wonders for him.
1--WE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach.
"To make long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use POSTUM
with satisfying results, as SHOWN ia
our fine condition of health, anu we
have noticed rather unexpected I'M

Interesting Exchanges of Products.

The statement is made from Wash
ington that Horace G. Knowles, for
merly American minister to Roumania,
who is now to be minister to Nicaragua,
made a transaction of interest to agricul-
turists before he left his old post. He
obtained a quantity of seed of the Rou-
manian watermelon, which he sent to
the Department of Agriculture, and in
return for the same gave the Rouman-
ians sweet corn seed, showing them how
to cultivate it. The corn so pleased the
Roumanians that Mr.. Knowles was for
mally thanked by the King for introduc-
ing it.
If the Roumanian melons which are
to be tried in this country give as much
satisfaction as the RoumanianS have
derived from the sweet corn, it will be a
valuable acquisition. 1t is a small mel
