Bicycles and Airships,

From the Springfield Republican.
One OF the most striking facts about
flying is the ease and quickness with
which the art seems to be mastered I'M

Lieut.. Lahm has been a pupil only
three weeks. yet he made yesterday a
flight of forty-five minutes. which on
ly little while ago would have been

Wright. is long enough to get the
knack Of the machine, but it is to be
noticed that he does not let pupils
quite so green as tina, shift for them
selves. The first stages seem not TO
be much more difficult or alarming
than the mastery of the high bicycle
OF twenty years ago. which to the nov
ice looked as high as a house. In
fact, the we'll taught aeronaut seems to
lose rather less cuticle during his ap-
premiership than the oldtime bicy-
clist.

BEST SELLERS

The PaW-Paw Belt has sustained two
gr1evous shocks in the last month.
First comes Booth Tarkingtons an
nouncement that he is a retired author
and that he is entering larger field
for imaginative work in counting
chickens before they are Matched, at
his farm at Home"
The second is the discovery of Mere.
dith Nicholsons Confessions of a
Best Seller" where it lies anony-
mously embalmed in the Atlantic
Monthly. A true inhabitant of the
Paw-Paw region may wonder which is
the truer retirement from the best sell
ing-standing room only game.
To desert fairy princess in Worth
Gown and elope with a high brow"
seems much more cruel thing than to
60 back to the farm and raise chickens
in Arcadian simplicity.
We should say that the only redeem.
ing feature from the best selling point
OF view. is that Mr.. Nicholson did not
sign his article in the Atlantic Month

Determination.

Sir Thomas was a sportsman bold,
His country's pride and joy.
Who had a passion uncontrolled
To be a sailor boy.
And every time he had a race,
Twas comforting to note,
He met defeat with courteous grace
And built another boat.
Sir Thomas is a model still
Well worth attending to:
A man is ne'er defeated till
He quits and says I'm through"
Though tricks Of wave or wind ma,

While he has breath for challenging

TubQl Cain

Old Tubal Cain man Of might
In the days when earth young
BY the fierce red light of his furnace bright
The strokes of his hammer rung;
And he lifted high his brawny hand
On the iron glowing clear
Till the sparks rushed out in scarlet showers
AS he fashioned the sword and spear.
And he sang "Hurrah my handiwork.
Hurrah for the spear and sword.
Hurrah for the hand that shall WELD them well,
For he shall be king lord"
To Tubal Cain many a one
AS he wrought by his roaring fire.
And each one prayed for a strong steeblade.
AS the crown of his desire.
And he made them pons. sharp and strong.
Till they shouted loud with glce.
And gave him gifts of pearls and gold.
And spoils of the forest
And they sang, "Hurrah for Tubal Cain.
Who hath given strength anew.
Hurrah for the smith! Hurrah for the fire.
And hurrah for the metal true,"
But a sudden change DER his heart
Ere the setting Of the sun:
And Tubal Cain filled with pain
For the evil he had done.
He saw that men with and hate
Made war upon their kind
That the land was red with the blood they shed
In their lust for carnage blind
And he said, Alas! that ever made
Or that skill Of mine should plan
The and the sword for whose joy
Is to STAY their fellow man."
And for many day old Tubal Cain
Sat brooding DER his woe;
And his hand forebode to smite the ore.
And his furnace smoldered low
But he arose at last with a cheerful face,
And bright,courageous eye
And barred his strong right for work.
While the quick flames mounted high.
And he sang "Hurrah for my handiwork!"
AS the red sparks lit the air;
mot alone for the blade the bright steel made"
And he fashioned the first plowshare.
And men, taught wisdom from the past,
In friendship joined their hands,
Hung the sword in the hall, the spear on the wall
And powed the willing lands:
And sang, "Hurrah for Tubal Cain!
Our stanch good friend is he.
And for the plowshare and the pillow
To him praise shall be.
But while oppression lifts head
Or tyrant would be lord,
Though we may thank him for the pillow
Well not forget the sword"
