THE PAINFUL MOOES1Y
 0F WRIGHT BROTHERS CONTINUED SPEECHES LESS THAN MINUTE AND A HALF. At a Banquet Rendered Them Yester-
 day by New York Admirers.

New York, May 12-The Wright brothers. Wilbur and Orville, left New York shortly before o'clock this even- ing for their home in Dayton, Ohio, after day passed in receiving tributes and compliments of friends and ad- mirers.' However much at home the brothers may be amid the perils of the upper air they showed again that they are extremely shy as guests of honor.
 At a luncheon rendered by the Aero Club of America at the Lawyers club, both had consented, with evident re- luctance to allow their names to go down on the program of speakers. But their speeches were models of brevity and the pair appeared immensely re- lieved when the ordeal was over.
 Wilbur spoke first-three sentences that lasted less than sixty seconds. Orville followed and his speech was just half as long as his brothers.
 Assailed by interviewers the Wrights had little to add to the few things they said yesterday. Orville referred all questions to Wilbur, and Wilbur turn ed them over to Orville. Together they said that in their opinion, the use of the aeroplane for the dropping of bombs or explosives into a hostile army was impracticable.
 The only practicable use of aero planes in warfare will be as scouts and messengers" they said. The plane must rise 1000 or 1900 feet above ground in order to be safe from shell fire and at that distance you can't drop anything with accuracy from a machine moving at 40 or 50 miles an hour"

IA PEACEFUL BEGINNING Ofthe ReVe|t of the Servants
 Against France APPARENT LACK 0F FORCE
Behind the Movment of the Postal Employes--The Gov ernment Proceeding to Car ry out the Decree of March Eighteenth.

Paris, May 12-The first day of the postal strike passed peacefully No disturbances are reported and the movement appears to have gained no ground. The service in Paris and throughout the provinces tonight, with the exception of that of the railway clerks, is normal and as a result there has been no need to take advan- tage of the preparations made by various business organizations and commercial bodies to carry on a pri- vate letter service.
 The cabinet tonight dismissed 22S men under the decree issued on March IS, which authorizes the discharge of strikers from the state service, and made other provisions for dealing with the recalcitrants. The ministers are confidential that the removal of the fomenters of the agitation will crush the movement.
 The strike leaders experienced an- other Encouragement in the failure of the miners congress at Lens to vote a sympathetic strike, and thus far none of the trade unions have made a sign of joining the strike.
 At the same time the government is hurrying the preparations for its promised bill regulating the status of state employees, which will be pre- sented to a committee of the cham Der of deputies on Monday. Official figures place the number of strikers in Paris at 465 out of 11,000. Owing to defection of a majority of the mail clerks the outgoing mails are more or less stranded.
 The hotbed of the previous revolt, the central telegraph bureau, is quiet, the night shift reporting for duty as usual Reports from the provinces show that the movement has not made much headway except at Havre. where a special services, arranged by the chamber of commerce, will be inaugurated. At Bordeaux, Lille and Chartres conditions are normal.
 In some cities, probably Lyons and Chambery. the postal employees have openly expressed their disapproval of the strike There is some anxiety at Paris hotels, where numerous Ameri- cans are expecting letters containing bank drafts.
 A mass meeting of postal em- ployes tonight was not so well at tended as that of last night. The meeting. however, adopted resolutions to continue the strike with vigor.
 The first sign of an intention of outside unions to participate in the strike came tonight when at a meet ing of the delegates of the United Syndicates of the Seine it was de- cided that the moment has come to throw down the barriers separat- ing state employees from workmen."
 The delegates bound themselves to start an organization of their respec- tive unions so as to be ready to march out in body, when general strike should be called and invited the general federation of labor to take all steps necessary to create general movement in France.

There is no kind of animal breed

1t will cost no more per pound to

Any good type of colt will sell for
more per pound when three years
old than a calf.
Unless a man is especially adapt
ed by nature to handle horses, he
should raise only the draft breeds
and sell them unhandled.

market value of draft horses as well
as in coach or driving horses.

tonic.
If we would all feed more grain
and less hay to our horses they
would be better off and so would
we.
Of all Things, a horse hates to lie
down in a filthy bed. By nature
he is a clearly animal. He is
worthy of a good, clean bed every
day that he lives.
Put blanket on the driving
horse now to keep his coat short
and glossy.
A good brake on a wagon that is
used for drawing heavy loads on
the road is a great relief on a horse.
With that in operation the horse
will actually rest going down hill.
Low-down wagons are not good
for a long trip over rough road.
Take the narrow tires then.
How do You suppose a colt
knows what you mean when you
say "Whoa! Back!" all in the same
breath? Say what you mean and
don't say anything more. Then
the colt will get through his head
what you want him to do.
