the greatest order Nettleton ever had
received, That day Nettleton made him

the sales OF the concern. great as they
had been before, increased. Nettleton
had found his man at last.
But sales alone did not satisfy Net
Teton. He did everything his active

restaurants for their accommodation,
an assembly room for their entertain
ments. parks within his land for their
use and model houses for their homes.
Perhaps he was too p%aternal. He
prided himself hat his establishment
was a model for the world. Greater
than all else, however, was his school
for statesmen. There he laid a foun-
dation for what Is to become a de-
partment of immense value to Ameri-
can industry. No better equipped men
went forth in the business field than
those from Nettleton's school.

ELY MAKES SEA FLIGHT
His Successful Flop From Cruiser to Shore Is a Naval
 Epoch

Fort Monroe, Va, Nov 16.-Aerial navigation proved that it is factor which must be dealt with in the naval tactics of the worlds future, if the successful flight made by Eugene B. Ely in a Curtiss biplane from the Geck of the cruiser Birmingham can be taken as a criterion.
 h weather conditions unfavorable for flying. the aviator glided from the platform erected on the front of the cruiser, swooped down until he touched the water, then rose rapidly and was off in the direction of the Atlantic. Four minutes later he was lost on the eastern horizon and an instant later had landed safely on Willoughby spit.
 The impact with which the machine struck the water after it's 27-foot drop from the cruiser scared one of the propeller blades and a small piece was split from the blade. But the speed of the aeroplane was not les sened and it lifted away with express train rapidity on it's flight
 The distance Ely flew was nearly five miles His striking the water, he said. was due to a miscaluculation.

SEINE CONTINUES TO RISE
Paris Alarmed at Warning That Flood Crest Has Not Passed-Mueh
 Water in Upper River

Paris. Nov. 16.-The Seine at the Royal bridge reached a height of 20 feet 3 inches. The weather bureau declares that a fall Is expected some time soon, but as heavy rains are forecasted in the upper tributaries of the river. the situation Is not regard ed as hopeful.
 There is still an immense body of water penned up in the upper river, and this, augmented by further rain, will probably do great damage when 1t reaches Paris.
 Later the hydrometric service of the weather bureau officially predict ed a rise of four feet four inches in the Seine in Paris by Saturday. This will put the river far out of the nor nal bounds, and may cut off consider able railroad traffic by inundating the depots and tracks. The announcement created considerable alarm in Paris.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 27.-Long

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and two
car loads of newspaper correspond
ents pulled into Cheyenne today the
stage was all set for his entrance.
The frontier had come to Cheyenne.
Cowboys galloped about the streets;
patient cow ponies stood at hitch
racks before the stores, and the town
was thronged with holiday people.
A reception committee was lined
up at the station long before the
colonel's train rolled in and the days
show of outdoor sports and ranch
mems play was ready to be started
when the distinguished visitor,
whose speech is the only deviation
from the athletic features of the
celebration, arrived.
Long before the train pulled in
the parade of soldiers, cowboys, cow
girls, civic societies and fraternal
orders was ready to move past the
reviewing stand where the colonel of
