If Representative Nicholas Long
worth does not object too strongly
Mrs Alice Roosevelt Longw;rth will
take her first balloon trip With A.
Holland Forbes in the New YoIk
from Canton, Ohio, few days after
the Wrights' home celebration, which
takes place on June II and Is.
Mr.. Forbes, who is the acting
president Of the Aero Club or
America, invited Mrs. Lougworth
when he was In Washington to sail
with him, and she accepted, with the
husband away before the time for the
ascent, so that he may not lntefere.
Mr.. Forbes was In the receiving
line at the reception to the
Wrights In the Cosmos club in Wash
ington on last Thursday, and Mrs.
Longworth was guest. When IN
troduced TO Mr.. Forbes she was in
formed he had just come out Of the
clouds-in fact, had just dropped I'M
after winning the trophy in the
championship balloon race from I0-
dianapolis.
Mrs. Longworth acquired the in
teresting information that Forbes
was the aeronaut who had distin-
guished himself last fall by a start
ling 4, 900 feet drop from the atmos-
phere aboye Berlin, thereby drawing
to himself and his companion,
Augustus Post, the attention Of the
Kaiser.
That interested her. so when
Forbes, Charles J. Edwards aud Alan
r Hawley OF the Aero Club found
themselves beside Mrs. Longworth
with their plates of luncheon, she
stopped eating and fired questions at
Forbes about his emotions on that
rapid excursion earthward.
Forbes told the tale Of this drop,
and also the story of his trip Of
thirty-ive hours, which recently
brought him and Mr.. Harmon to
CorlRth, Miss splicing his tale with
that hair raising Incident when men
OF Ten nessee fred at the balloon In

"That's tnel" Mrs. LoBgworth ex-
claimed, "How would like to have

love 1t. 1 wish 1 could &c up In a
balloon"
"Yeu caL," said the gallant Mr..
Forbes. "My balloon lie alays at your
disposal. You san go any time you
wish. I'll be charmed 20 be the
pilot" j..
"But. you know, I've got q husband

The upshot OF the conversation was
that Mrs. Longw0rth finally arranged
with Mr.. Forhest that II Representative

the farmers and the masses OF the
people were able to purchase in
1893, but which they could not buy
in 1896 because Of a loss of employ
ment and purchasing power.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

There are about 1900 items In
the existing Tariff law and the Payne
bill now before Congress undertakes
to change about zoo of them all
told.
Only few of the proposed
changes are really very important,
and IN some at least of these it is
quite certain that the Senate will
prefer the duties fixed by the Ding
ley law, and which have served
their purpose admirably for eleven
years, to the changes proposed by
the House Committee on Ways and
Means.
The debate in the House up to
date has unquestionably increased
the number of observant people
throughout the country who believe
that 1t would have been better to let
the Tariff alone at this time.
After eighteen months Of COM
paratlve business stagnation follow
ing the panic of October, 1907, the
interests and industries Of the coun-
try want a chance to recuperate,
and they don't want lot of new
Tariff problems added to their
troubles.
The Dingley Tariff didn't prevent
the country from enjoying The
greatest prosperity it has ever
known in the past decade, and
nobody accuses it of having brought
on the spec 'lators' panic of 1907.
The country could get along
decade most happily with
out single change in the existing
Tariff, and it would be far from a
public calamity if Congress should
adjourn without making an altera-
ton in any of its schedules

Grace and peace in Jesus Christ! Most

kindly for your great care of us, which

began to be so anxious we were near

Shortly after he was first elected

SCHOOL ATTEN-
DANCE GOOD

Owing to the busy fair days
and excitement generally last
week everyone seemed too busy
to make note or hardly notice that
the public schools here were
opened on Tuesday morning,
However they were closed two
days later to allow all pupils to
attend the fair and help racket
at the races. At present there
are seventy-fve pupils enrolled
in the nine grades, which is ten
more than had entered at this
time last year, when the total en-
rollment reached the hundred
mark. With these ten, the extra
grade and the additional teacher

mise better results than ever be-
fore, when there were fewer

PRIZE FIGHTERS
HAVE A BOUT

Curly Ulrich and Kid Miller,
two travelling pugi!ists met in
the |. O. 0. F. hall last Friday
evening where they fought a 10
round bout. A good attendance
witnessed the fight and seemed
fairly We'll satisfied with the re-
suit. Both men fought hard and
gave a good exhibition although
Ulrich showed himself the best
man, Considerable discussion
arose after the contest in regards
to the squareness of the fight
and it seems to be the census of
opinion that it was a "frame-up"
affair. From the fact that both
seemed on so friendly terms and
that both left town together the
next day, it looks more so.
