Willie, was cheerful enough.

Presently a car came into view
and the mysterious Mr.. Jones
drew the boy closer to him.
"Well, Willie, you are going
down town now and you will see
your papa pretty soon," he SAID.
This delighted Willie. He
swung on the car quickly, accord

Jones" paid the boys fare and
then got off the car and disap-

The boy gazed about the car
for familiar face. He saw no
one he knew. Presently Edward
Mahoney, who is II year. old
boy, of jolly visage, came into the
car. He sat down IN the seat
with the boy. Mahoney, like
most every other person IN Cleve,

little Willie Whltla. When his
eyes lighted on Willie he started
a conversation.

"Jones," answered Willie, true

But Mahoney was not to be

suggested that it might be the

that he should be put off at the

Troubles. A washburn Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them:

Many people never suspec. their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
1t is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it

danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes

Aerial Warfare Makes Their
Defense Impossible
And National Safety Demands
Their Disintegration
Country Towns the Nations Safeguards.

1t may require some little time for
the sluggish apathy OF the average
human mind to awaken to the fact
that great aerial warships already
exist, and that whole fleets of them
are now being built. Any one who
doubts the facts set forth in this
article belongs to the same mental
class with those who sneered with in
credulous contempt at Fulton's first
steamboat.
If the undisciplined horde that
composed the Army of Xerxes were
today brought face to face with
the Army of Germany, it would be
no more impotent and helpless than
will be the entire navy of Great
Britain in very few years beneath
the aerial navy that Germany is now
building.
Death dealing explosives revolu-
tionized warfare. Steam revolution
lied transportation. Aerial naviga-
ton will revolutionize both, and it
is an accomplished fact.
London is as defenseless today
against destruction by bombardment
from the fleet of warships that
Germany will soon have constructed
as camp of Ancient Britons, armed
with bows and arrows and clad in
skins, would be againts such an on
slaught of modern military Demons
of Destruction as the Japanese hurl-
ed against the Fortress of Port
Arthur.
The Aerial warship will soon rele-
gate the Dreadnought to the scrap
heap or the Museum of Ancient
Antiquities. The battIeships upon
