AIRSHIP COMES TO GRIEF.
While Maneuvering for Landing
Ship Comes in Contact With Tree.

Goeppngen, June 2.-After cover
ing $50 miles in 81 hours, Count Zep-
pelins new airship. on it's return trip
from Btterfeld to Frisdrichshafen.
came to grief in an open field near here
yesterday. In maneuvering for land
ing, the airship came into contact with
tree, and its position last night was
dangerous
After much labor and with the as
sistance of some of those who had
gathered at the scene, Count Zeppelin
was able to shift the position of his
airship a little. and thus get better
protection from the wind.
Airship Badly Wrecked.
When the accident occurred Count
Zeppelin was landing for the purpose Of
repenishing his supply of benZine,
which was nearly exhausted. The mo-
tors already had stopped and the air
ship was nearing the ground on a
meadow where a sudden strong puff of
wind drove the prov out of it's course
and against pear tree. 1t struck with
a great crash, smashing the Prov
almost up to the front Of the gondola
and crushing the aluminium stays into
shareless mass, which became in
extricably enmeshed in the branches.
Nearly a hundred feet of the envelope
and frame were destroyed
Zeppelin Depressed.
/, Count Zeppelin Immediately came to
Goeppingen in an automobile and tele-
graphed to Ulm for pioneers and to
Friedrichshafen for workmen to make
repairs. After resting for several
hours at hotel he returned in the
evening to the scene of the accident,
proceeding from there by automobile
to Friedrichshafen. He will return
here today
Repairs are now being made, but
these are of a temporary nature, where
by the airship may proceed to Fried
richshafen. Permanent repairs prob
ably will require six weeks In order to
get the ship to Manzell. No one was
injured in the accident, but Count Yep
pelin has been much depressed over
the mishap.

Emory B. Smith and his brother, Joe Smith, Samuel Boyd, David Lewis Lewis being a full -blooded Mohegar Indian.
 Another manufacturer of mbs wal Ariel Eldredge, on the road leading to Daleville, who employed several other young men. Among them were Luoius Fisk, Andrew H. Fuller and J. c. Rider.
 Just across the river from the Weston mill was the farm of Uncle Hosea Vinton, a welI-to-do farmer and blacksmith, with light water power on the brook that came down from the northwest. The brook gave him what power he needed for his trip hammer and a quite large power grindstone.
 Uncle Hosey, as he was familiarly called, was good mechanic and manufactured large part of the farm ing tools in use ia that section, such as shovels, hoes, hay forks, the old fashioned iron faced wood blow, with a steel shire and colter. In the front of his shop was the OK frame, where oxen were slung up in strong leather sling to be shod.
 From daylight till dark was con- sidered days work, with three meals between times. and Uncle Hosey's trip hammer was often heard before sunrise in 8 summer morning. His trip hammer and grindstone were 8 very great help in the manufacture of the various kinds of farm imple- ments required by the farmers up and down the Fenton river valley.
 Probably the most important in- dustry carried on in the Hollow at that time was the tanning and our riers' business and shoe business car. r1ed on by Amos Preston and his two sons, Sylvester and Joshua. The shoe business was the making of cowhide programs for the southern slaves, and for time it was quite a profitable trade. The process of tanning them was entirely different from the modern method. The Prestons had in their yard sufficient number of large vats. as I remember I should say some five by eight feet and some three to four feet deep, in which the raw hides, after the hair was removed, were packed between layers of oak or hem lock bark, and after the vat was full the bark was saturated with water. the vats were covered and allowed to remain-always all winter, and for heavy hides much longer, or till the leather was thoroughly tanned through. It took then months to do what is now done in very few days. The store of Origen Dimook, to which reference has been made, was more than a general country store. MT. Dimock was one uf the first to intro- duoe the peddling of Yankee notions, and I we'll remember the nice span of buckskin colored horses and fine outfit with which he started his second son, Dewitt Dimock, on one of his trips through Massachusetts and Vermont.
 think that MT. Dimock was one of the first to put out palmleaf to braid into hats, and I recall how I learned to braid palmleaf hats at the early age of or 9 years In years after the braiding of palmleaf hats was quite a trade in the families of the farmers, and it paid for a good many family groceries. as we'll as for clothing the then large families.

ANGRY ROBINS WOUND MAN
Try to Peck Eyes Out After He Un-
intentionally Kills Their
Young.

Clinton, N. J.--Robert j. MCCoubra
was so severely injured on the face,
neck and hands by two robins that at.
tackled him that it was necessary to
call in Il doctor.
McCuubra had cut several limbs
from a large shade tree in front of his
house here and did not see that in a
fork made by two branches of one Of
the limbs was robins nest with two
young birds in 1t. When the limb fell
to the ground the young birds fell out
of the nest and both were killed
McCoubra felt sorry and leaned
over to pick up the dead birds. As
he did so the old robins attacked him,
He tried to beat them off, but failed
and was compelled to run for the
house. All the way the birds kept up
the attack, and he had to hold his
hands over his eyes to save them
from harm. The man had difficulty in
preventing the birds from following
him indoors, striking at them several
times before he could get the door
closed against them.
Mrs. McCoubra, who had been in
the back yard, heard her husband call
ing and she ran into the house, where
she found him almost exhausted from
his efforts. His face neck and hands
were torn and bleeding as the result
of the vicious pecking of the enraged
birds.

The Root of AItruism,

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of Justice: that there is moral law
before which all men are equal. so
that l ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that l owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third the principle of free will; that
l can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if l do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of a definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter.
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped-G. X. Chesterton.

Sunday Schools in Panama Canal Zone


1t will perhaps be surprising to
many people in the states, who look
upon this country as being peOpled
with half savages, to know that in the
canal zone there are about fifty Sun
day schools, IA of which are for white
children.
OF the former one is Roman Cath
olic, another is Episcopalian and the
remaining 12 are union Sunday
schools-that is, they are not denomi-
national, but are made up of all creeds
and religions.
The first white Sunday school was
organized about four years ago at
Cristobal, and since that time they
have sprung up all along the line. In
fact, In some towns the only form of
organized religious worship is a Sun.
day school, since every station does
not have a church.
According to the figures nearly
ninety per cent. of the children at
tending public schools are regular at
tendants at the Sunday schools There
were colored schools prior to the
American occupation, since the
Church of England has long had mis-
sons upon the isthmus.

road built a handsome structure in
