Timely Airs Played by Band.

But as a compromise the artists, just
as Farman left the ground with Miss
Reed, broke forth bravely with the heav-
emily notes of Il Don't Know Where I'm
Going, But I'm On Ny Way
The circuit OF the track had almost
been completed and aviator and passen-
ger were approaching the srandetand to
begin the next lap when out upon the
of Gtahame- White.
Mr.. Macdonald, who is Scotchnan,
had suddenly noticed. while Miss Reed
was waving happily far above the sea
of upturned go!d-rimmed spectaeles, that
the check was not certified. just In time
he ran out upon the field and signaied
Grahame-White to come down.
The aviator descended with his pas
senscr to learn the cause Of the trouble.
When the Englishman learned from the
excited Scotchman that the check was
not made out on Washington bank,
when Miss Reed had given her home adj
dress as Washington when applying fos
the ride, Grahame-White also grew per-
turbed.
Realizing the great financial loss that
might befali him should the check be
worthless he settled his machine and Its
lady passenger solidly In front of the
grandstand. Then pausing only to bare
his head as the band began to play God
Save the King as 1t always does each
time he lands, he put many questions con-
corning the validity OF the check to the
lady who sat beside him waiting for the
ride which she had bargained for to con-
tinue Grahama-White really felt the EN-
barrassment Of his position keenIy.
Aviator Is obdurate.
Miss Reed first smiled with surprise
when tola the reason OF the interruption
of her spin. She explained that she
wanted the ride for its own sake and tina,
she also had been commissioned by .
ma ga zine to take the ride.
But the gentleman aviator from Eng
land really couldn't continue with the
bargain unless he had absolute proof that
regular money was forthcoming.
And in the meantime the band helped 10
fill in the time by playing a medley df
passe songs that began with Welt Till

fully blending white Wings. They Never

MoseIey's MspIendid work.v

The last report of the interstate commerce commission shows that in 1903 one man was killed out of every 149 in coupling and uncoupling cars; five years later, in 1908, this ratio was reduced to but one in 9s3. or from 1 in 13 to 1 in @. In addition to this since the new appliances have been introduced the accidents which have not resulted in loss of life have been very much less serious than they were before.
 The interstate commerce commits sion has been cursed by the railroad corporations as being an unnecessary interference with the railroad business but if it had not been for the work of this body, first in fighting for laws re- quiring the establishment of safety devices and after the laws were pass ed fighting to make the companies en- force them, this very desirable result would not have been achieved
 Leading the men who should get the bulk of credit for the successful and splendid result of the interstate com merce commission work is our fellow citizen, the Hon. tfNed" Moseley of Newburyport and Washington, who has devoted the best years of his life to this labor of love for the benefit of railway employes.-Boston Traveller.
