Her WlNaING WAYS.

On a sunny day Ia June;
We sat together on the beach.
Where the wavelets played tune.
She spoke about her mansion
And her country place 30 fair;
About her string Of servants
And Conservatives there.
She said she kept three motor cars.
Had a fortune In the banks.
And kept champagne always on tap
In gold and ivory tanks.
Then she limited sne was single
And my heart just throbbed with blt0s,
And II I'd been worth a million

And il l had not been busted

But / could not linger longer
BY the sad, romantic shore:

And my dream would soon be DER;
So l packed my bag and baggage,
Started for my home next day.
Left my million-heiress weeping
Where the wavelets gayly play.
Twas last June that all this happened,
But don't think that am sore,
For today ! saw that maiden

Progress in Planning.

Nearly every day q new aeroplanlst
comes into view. either operating ma
chine of what may be called standard
type or with an apparatus of his own
invention These members of the second
generation Of aviators, SO to speak, may
be the ones to carry the navigation OF
the air into practical lines Of commercial
use For example John Roeder OF White
Plains. NJ Y, now announces as an In
tending participant in the race for fly
ing machines between New York and Al
bany during the Hudson-Fulton celebra-
tion He proposes to use an apparatus OF
his own which he calls an aero torpedo.
Roeder declares that the other morning at
2 o'clock, taking advantage of the SOM
Violence of the country. side, he carried his
torpedo a hundred feet into the air with
two passengers beside himself. The most
interesting feature Of the device as thus
far understood is that the frame work Is
described as being Of iron, material
which has heretofore been eschewed in
the construction of these "heavier-than-
air. machines.
1t is impossible to know just how many
minds are at work today on the devising
Of new machines for aerial navigation.
1t may be there are at least thousand
Americans now engaged in this research.
n this estimate Is correct probably less
than a hundred are working along prac-
ticable lines, and of this hundred there
may be q dozen who are really adding
materially to the worlds equipment. But
even II this small number Is at work the
net result within the next five years will
surely be the evolution OF a machine that
will carry passengers to distant goals
and navigate the air in all stages of the
weather except of course when the wind

The first practical use to which the air
plane will probably be put will be the
carriage Of the mails or for light express
work. Save as a novelty aerial lines are
not likely to be patronized by the public
for personal transportation, surely for a
number OF years to come. Some proph-
ecies have already been made pointing to
the crossing of the ocean. If machine

A Sad Story.

Belinda longed FOR slender grace.
And said 1t would be wise
To seek some outlines to efface
BY constant exercise.
And so she walked and rode in hope
To cheat relentless fate
And tugged In patience at the rope
That held the pulley weight.
She pushed the dumbbells right and left
But found-oh: cruel plight
That when she lost a bit in heft,
She gained in appetite.
The more she works-scared half to deatl
She walls LIES bitter cup
The more she has to hold her breath
To get her dress hooked up.
