The complete success Of the new
fuel while on the 2650mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature OF the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splenddly throughout the 26J0mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured Kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions. and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish Of the
tour, the White was the only car per
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place. without
draining its fuel tank Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venent, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
CLEARLY obtainable. Finally, the

And what was it?'
Sour kraut!"

read if you can't be serious and talk

Well it was We hadn't had sour
kraut on the table for a week, and
took the lamp and went downstairs to

leaving nine children, four girls and
five boys and up to October /, 1909,
they were all still living, thus making
a period of practically 81 years with
out having a break in the family of
nine, during which time five of them
had passed the so year mark. On
the above date my Oldest brother de-
parted this life at the ripe old age of
50, leaving four still living that have

IT'S DIFFERENT
FROM THE REST

Occasionally it seems possible that
there may be some slight foundation
to the cry often heard from skeptics
that interest in the drama is on the
decline. Those times are patiently the
psychological periods for the con-
trary proof which usually is forth
coming in the shape of a success so
substantially unqualified and deserv-
ed that no doubt can remain that the
American public are as keen for stage
entertainment of the right sort as
ever they were.

regular playgoers. but there are few
that do not at some time visit the
