The editor, Judging from the tone Of
his voice that he was liable to carry
out his threat, handed him the money
without further comment.
Kumoff pocketed the cash with con-

toward the door; here he turned.

ROOSEVELT TAKES A FLYER.
Former President Goes Up In Air Ship
With Hoxsey.

WIN TlONSCJs
st. Louis, October 11.-TheOdOre
Roosevelt today made an aeroplane
fight as the passenger of Archibald
HOXsey, and said it was the finest sem
sation he ever had experienced He
travelled two times around the aviation
field at Kinloch park i'm three minutes
and 20 seconds. He waved his hand at
I the thousands of spectators, much to
| the discontinue of the aviator, who
feared that the colonel might hit q
controlling cord. When the machine
alighted easily a few feet from the
starting place, mighty shout of ap-
plause went up.
Hoxsey, a Wright aviator, said that
Mr.. Roosevelt made a good passenger
except that he enjoyed the trip so
much that HoXsey was afraid the COL
onel would fall out or interfere with
the engine which was roaring at his
side. The colonel waved his hand at
the crowd so vigorously that HoXsey
called out to him:
Keep your hands on the rail, COL
onel."
Col. Roosevelt, who had forgotten to
hold himself in. waved his hand once
more, and then obeyed orders.
The coloners flight was a surprise to
everybody. Although he had been in
vited to go, no one had the least idea
that he would do so, and he himself did
not decide to try until the moment be-
fore he stepped into the machine.
The trip to the aviation field to watch
the aeroplane flights was on the after
Moons programme for the colonels
day. He went to Kinloch in an auto
mobile at the head of a procession of
motor cars half mile long.
The cars were filled with members
of the Republican state and city COM
mittees and business men.
The ride was a fast and dusty one
and much of the way Col Roosevelt's s
face was covered with a thick coating
Of Missouri soil.
Col. Roosevelt's car was driven di-
rectly on the aviation field. HoXsey's
biplane was standing directly in front

Her little girl had gone To the
store to buy some candy and lost a

feet. 1t made the first lap OF a mile
and a half before news spread through
the crowd that Roosevelt was Hoxsey's 8
passenger. When the colonel swept
past the grand stand, he leaned for
ward a bit and waved his hand. The
spectators seemed frightened and re-
mained silent watching the aeroplane
intently.
The flying machine sped by. and
made the turn for the second lap.
HOXsey could be seen to bend over and
shout something into the colOnel's ear.
The engine cracked regularly, hurting
the aeroplane forward at a speed Of
nearly a mile a minute, but from the
ground it looked as though it was trav-
cling much slower, because it sailed so
evenly and smoothly. There was not
breath of wind and the engine did
not miss fire once.
At the end of the second lay, HoX-
sey dipped his planes and the ma
chine descended easily, striking the
ground without a jar few rods from
the grand stand. The machine glided
over the grass a short distance and
stopped.
Col. Roosevelt, smiling his most eX-
pansive smile, disembarked backwards.
He became entangled with the wires.
but was soon out of them.
When the people saw that he had
landed safely, they cheered the colonel
wildly.
Colonel Roosevelt's first act after
alighting was to shake HoXsey's hand
vigorously.
1T was great, first-class, 1t was the
finest experience / have ever had" he
declared Il wish I could stay up for
an hour, but | have not the time this
afternoon"
Did it feel scary?" he was asked.
Not a bit, not bit"
What were your sensations"
"Oh, It was perfectly fine. | enjoyed
every minute Of it."
Governor Hadley with a long sigh OF
relief stepped up to the colonel and
pilOted him to his automobile. They
rode down the field past the cheering
crowd and then started for st. Louis.
Walter Brookins and A. l.. Welsh,
the latter on an endurance run, fol-
lowed the former presidents party in
aeroplanes while Alfred Lebance, in
a Bleriot monoplane, led the automo-
bile procession. The aerial escort con-
tinued for almost two miles from the
aviation field.
Brookins entertained the party by
cutting sharp curves at dizzy heights
and giving a miniature exhibition OF
his famous spiral glide. LeBlance
darted back and forth across the COL
onel's path like bee.
On the way to st. Louis, Colonel
Roosevelt stopped at Clayton where a
great crowd had collected at the court
house and where he told Of his trip In
the airship.
From Clayton, the colonel drove to
st. Louis and went to the fair grounds

Juggling for Exercise

1T has been centended that the easiest
and pleasantest way to keep in fit con-
dition is to practice juggling-the art
of balancing and catching objects.
When exercising at home, unmatched
by a teacher, one is likely to perform
his exercises in an incorrect or slovenly
fashion, thus doing himself more harm
than good, but the simplest feat of
Juggling can be done in only one way
the right way Again. where physical
exercise develops only certain part or
parts of the body, five minutes Jug
Cling calls into play every important
muscle. Finally, few physical exercises
train the eye or the hand. Juggling
does both.
The mistake the novice is likely to
make is that he tries to do offhand
what it has taken the experienced Jug
gler years of practice to accomplish.
The beginner should, of course, start
with the simplest feats, such as balanc-
ing a walking stick on his forehead, or
tossing a ball from behind his back
over his shoulder and catching il as it
falls. If one is really fond of Juggling
he may invent his own problems.
Here are a few axioms:
1T is easier to balance thing on your
head than on your hand.
Up to the point where great physical
strength is required, the larger the OBJ
ject the easier ii is to balance; thus it
is easier to balance a walking stick
on your forehead than ii is a pencil.
One should always look at the top of
whatever he is balancing. Beginners
make the mistake OF looking at the
bottom or middle of the stick, or what
ever is being juggled. Again, when
catching things, do not watch your
hands. Keep your eye on the object,
just as you would to catch a ball
In all balancing feats it should be
remembered that the shape of the OBJ
To, ,ata aI hao
do is to balance an imaginary line pass
ing vertically through the center Of
gravity OF the object, or in other
words, TO keep it's axis perpendicular
to whatever IL is balanced upon.
Juggling is said 10 be the best and
