helm granted by Judge +. r Dunno.

formed hat he had been misled in
granting the divorce. Judge Honore

was being sought Mrs. GuSgcnheim
testified that she was a honi fice res

ForgetfuI Soldiers Neglect to
Fill Gasoline Tank Provides
New Sensation for Wright
and Army Officer Pupil.


College Park. Md, oct. 19.-"Mo-
tor troubles, the plague of the auto
mohilist, today proved also to be a
plague of aviators. While the gov
eminent ~aeroplane was flying TWEEN
ty-five feet above the earth with Lieu
tenant Frank p. Lahm operating the
levers. the chugging of its most vital
| part, the motor, suddenly ceased. 1t
| was a new sensation for the embryo
sky-pilot. but his instructor Wilbur
Wright. grasped the levers without de-
lay and brought the machine safely to
earth.
After several hours investigation it
was found that a careless private
! whose duty it was to keep the gaso-
line tank filled had failed to replen-
ish the supply after yesterdays flights.
Five instruction slights We're made
| today. two in the early morning and
| the other three after ( o'clock.
Lieutenants Lahm and Humphreys
| each accompanied Mr., Wright on n
of the morning flights. while Lieu
tenant Humphreys made two of the
latter flights ana Lieutenant Lahm
the other.
During one of the afternoon flights
the %aeroplane again raced with a rail-
road train. 1t seemed to be moving
faster than the train.
In the last flight of the day on
which Mr.. Wright was accompanied
by Lieutenant Lahm. the machine re-
mained aloft 10 minutes and ; sec
onds the longest flight that has been
made at College Park.
Lieutenant Benjamin d. Fonlois viii
begin taking Instructions from Mr..
Wright within a short time. Lieuten-
ant Foulois today gave Mr.. Wright the
governments check for 100000 as a
part payment for the machine which
was purchased from the Wright
brothers for the signal corps. Anoth-
er $4,000 making the total contract
price of $4,000 will be paid when the
two army officers who have been re-
cciving instructions are pronounced

 Menzel apoogized profusely for his forgetfulness. Certainly. certainly, my dear sir," said he. Come down and rest yourself bit"
 The model had clambered from the scaffolding to the ladder. which led town from it to the studio floor.

Scotland and Horse Racing,

Scotland has been famous for It's horses from the most ancient days When Agricola defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians, A. D. S4, the Celtic enemy. as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong 1n cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve its native breed of horses, and In this connection 1t Is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land. James l., did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James I. was the real author of horse racing as it has since been known in England. He 1t was who first established regu- lar courses and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- tons that led up to the modern laws of the turf. Nobody denies that horsa racing has done much for the breed of British horses. It was & gift from Scotland.-I.ondon Answers.
