of birds and wonder why men could
not fly. too. there had finally gathered
a faith. embodying itself in unani-
nous effort which no misgiving or de-
NAL could resist Some of us always
thought we could fly. and in spite of
those who said we could not fly, we
thought with a unanimous propulsive
energy that we could. and upon try

How long or how far we shall ulti-
amtely fly is a thing which has moth
ing to do with the undeniable fact
that We fly. and the lesson is plain.
Let us bend collectively the powers
OF our minds and souls upon any Civ

women are wrestling themselves from
the grudging hold of ignorance and
injustice by the sheer virtue of con-
centrated volitiOn; and who shall say
that the peace of the world. ever since
the Spanish and Boer and Russo Jap
anese wars. has not been kept by the
worldwide intention and volition of
peace? A generation ago the nation
alities unified themselves through a
universal impulse. which is not yet
spent. and now the trend toward con-
stitutionalism in Russia. Turkey and
Persia may be the effect of the same
determination which we see working
in the Philippines and Porto Rico
We have had in the last decade an
explosion of romantic noVelists in our
literature comparable only to the dis
charge of a machine gun in its ap-
parent unisonance; and every candid
student of literary history must own
this has been the effect of inventive
sources uniting simultaneously to pro-

AIR. Lukin had with the Phoenix chief
1t was always hoped that the local
company might in some manner ar
range to take part in the sports, but
the cost OF preparation was more
than the individual members OF the

canse along any. and Mr.. Lukin dis
liked to ask the citizens to help out

these difficulties has been found. much
to the satisfaction Of all concerned.

With one or two exceptions, 1t will
consist of the same members as last
years team. The team consists OF
twelve men. including the officers.
Mac Browning has been appointed
captain OF the team. with Jesus Ro-
nero assistant captain. The first
practice was held last night. With
so little time between now and the
date Of the contest. every moment
possible will be spent M practice. and
il is expected that though the time
is limited. the team can be whipped
into pretty good shape
The first contest will take place on
Tuesday, and the prizes in cash ag-
gregate over $500. in addition to cups.
on Wednesday there will be another
contest for prizes slightly smaller 1t
is now thought that there will be but

 tained themselves well. as 1t Is stated | that the attack was entirely without | proyocation and MT. Meigs was an old and inoffensive citizen and well liked | by all who know him. Y.

BITULITHIC PAVE
 MENT THE BEST
WHAT EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT,
Reaa Omcial Report of Fire Chief Ward of Wilmington, Del.
Boston. Feb. 12, 1908.

Boston. Feb. 12, 1908. The thirty-nin annual report of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department of the City of Wilmington. Del, con- tains the following interesting endorse ments of the Bitulithic pavement, and an earnest wish for more of it. ITO the Honorable the Mayor and City
 Council:
 q beg to call your attention to a matter which means much to the effl- ciency of the Fire Department, and that Is a matter of public highways. Many of the streets in the city are in Q deplorable condition. A great many of them being in such condition that the making of quick run Is not only extremely hard on the horses and ap- paratus, but hazardous to the men. In fact, almost all the accidents we have had to our apparatus are due to bad or faulty streets.
 ITO my mind, from my experience in the Department, I can unhesitating- ly say that the best form of street pavement we have in the city today Is the Bitulithic paving. Its rough, grit ty surface gives an excellent foothold for horses, and prevents them from slipping as they do on some other forms of pavement, and I would like to see more of 1t laid in our city.
 "Very respectfully yours.

 Department" :" adv.
