Franklin Bell, former chief of staff of
the United States Army. who is on a
six-months' leave of absence, will take
command of the Philippines division
of the army, sailing on December
from San Francisco. Asked his opin-
ion concerning the probable utility
of flying machines from the point of
view of the soldier, General Bell
said:
For transporting considerable
weight it would seem probable that
dirigible balloons might be more val
liable in war than heavier-than-air-
machines, yet they are subject to a
serious drawback in making Roadway
against wind blowing at consider
able rate. The whole science is still
in such state of development that
only experiment can work it out.
However, those who will bear in mind
the numerous difficulties which have
been overcome by modern motor We
hicles in their rapid development will
be inclined to believe that heavier
than-air-machines will in the next
few years be sufficiently developed to
air except in wind currents which can
be properly classified as storms.

THE BRAVE MAN IN THE BOX.
OF all the calm, brave, indomitable
men l have ever met 1t seems to me
that Johann Beck is the most re-
markable. Because he had made up
his mind to become an American he
deliberately exposed himself to dam
ger of death in hideous form, lay for
eixteen days and nights in utter
darkness in the hold of a ship, nearly
persisted for lack of food and water,
and even then would not have been
allowed to enter the land of his
hearts desire but for the interview
ton of a reporter who believed there
was a good story" in Johann's ad-
ventures.
+ 1t lay on the very top of the cargo,
a box almost six feet long, nearly
three feet wide, and four feet high.
What a craft for the hopeful adven-
turer setting forth to conquer a new
world! One could not look at the
wretched contrivance without feel
ing thrill of sympathy for the poor
devil who had risked his life in it, as
well as of admiration for his high
courage. Closer examination re-
vealed that the box had a lid and
that the lid was tilted back. There
were three little wooden buttons on
each side of the lid that could be
turned down under strips on the
edges of the box. so as TO hold the
lid down. Thus it was apparent that
the stowaway had worked alone and
unaided. Instantly appeared the
mental picture of the man calling at
the forwarding Office and making ar
engagements for the shipping of the
box to America; then waiting at the
window of his lodgings for the ex-
press-wagon to appear. and, after
seeing the men enter the house and
hearing their steps on the stair, pop
ping into his box and silently draw
ing down and buttoning the lid from
within. Oh, but this was good stuff
that would make 'em sit upl The
lantern flashed down into the box.
pOtbOhi was Will
cushion of hay about foot deep and
fastened down with burlap. Wise
man he must have been, to save him
self hard knocks, and, if he must die,
at least to lie soft and snug while
dying. At one end of the box lay an
old round valise, full of socks and
two suits of underclothes, which had
served as pillow. On one side was
a long, thick, cheap old overcoat of
dull yellow-and-brown check pattern,
Thin at the elbows, the much-worn
cuat of very poor man, rent seam
here and there sewed up with coarse
black thread. Item: The box ad-
Eenturer was very poor indeed, but
he was clean and neat, even to the
point of sewing his own overcoat
where it had ripped. Pretty good
sort of man for America to acquire.
Tucked away among the hay were
the empty cans and bottles that had

Good Roads. Good Farms.

Farms and roads are generally
pretty close together-in fact a farm
is not desirable possession unless
there is a passably good road lead
ing to it. Farmers ought to be in
terested in the road question, for in
most localities they pay most of the
taxes that go to the maintenance OF
highways. They do practically all the
routine road work in States where
the 'warning-in" plan prevails. AS
to the indirect tax that is entailed
by bad roads, no one suffers more
from it than the farmer.-Louisville

Words That Are Ont OF Style.

Many old English words have fall
en- from their high estate and are
now banned in the best society, at
any rate in Mayfair and Belgravia.
OF these is the Saxon word lady
which we are told is derived from
'loafgiver."
In 1910 we speak of woman"
and the word lady" has become al
most term of reproach. A young
single woman is a girl" gyirr'-as
the name young lady" is reserved
for barmaids, shop hands and tele-
phone operators.

scribe the outer garment of our

Has Committed the Bible to Memory

William Frederick, Jr., Z travelling
salesman, bears the distinction, so far
as he is aware, of being the only per-
son who ever committed the Bible to
memory.
He is a friend of Alexander M.
Rush, of this city, who is well &C.
quainted with the Frederick family.
The one who committed the Bible to
memory, while not being a member
of any particular church, has made
such a study of the Bible that he can
repeat any passage in it from Genesis
to Revelations and state where 1t Is
found.
He was eighteen years committing
the Bible to memory. His object in
doing SO was not for the purpose OF
arguing Scripture or of making dis
play of his wonderful knowledge
along that line, but simply for his
own benefit and his love Of the Holy
Word.-Fairmouth News.
