The Undressed PHILOSOPHER.

ih0 SIi0I SSSCQ TuiIOSOPNSr
More whiskers than a girl would need
A FELLOWSHIP to stuff,
A crop Of lilacs run to seed,
A shield from weather rough,
Some struggling hairs upon his head
That vainly try to meet.
In color just a faded red.
AND that's old Uncle Pete.
A coat that maybe was a fad
When Noah sailed his ark
You'd hardly speak of it as ".glad'
And fitting for a lark:
Pants that are baggy. old and frayed-
Description fails my pen:
A vest that figures once displayed
There's Uncle Pete again.
But do not judge him by the mop
Free from restraint and comb,
Or by the faded hairs on top
That grace his shining dome,
Or by the garments out of data
That he has worn so long,
For which the rag mar lies In wait
TO purchase for a song.
No: judge him by his genial smile
And by his sage remarks
And listen to his wisdom while
It files from him In sparks.
Advice you get hot from the bat
BY sitting at his feet,
Experience boiled down and pat
From wise old Uncle Pete.

Mucn UepenQS ON wan.
Says James H. Colwell. patent Office
expert. who examines personally near
ly all the models submitted:
"Ten per cent of the success Of ev-
cry fight is due to the machine, Is per
lei to the motor and IS per cent to
the man. The man of indecision. poor
judgment, weak nerves or slow judg-
ment is as much out Of place in an
airship as a defective motor"
Among the special points to which
inventors are paying attention is the
matter of motors. Electricity as a mo-
tive power is being considered care
fully. Present day electric motors are
too heavy. 1t may be that some Edi-
son will devise a means of drawing
electricity out of the sky. so that the
aviator can use it as he flies. Stabiliza-
tion-the keeping of the machine in
the proper position to continue fight
and not turn turtle-also occupies much
of the time of the investigators.
1t is a safe assumption that the aero
plane in something like its present as
pect as to general principles will have
become by the date Of the next inter-
national aviation meet. to be held in
England. a fier that will do things
even more startling than were done at

 The parents of the boy scout a the ory that he was mistaken for a neph- CIV, whose life might have been sought in connection with an Armenian plot.

 4 ragged, seemingly demented man was arrested today in the woods near where the shooting occurred He is detained on a charge of vagrancy, but the detective bureau does not believe him connected with the murder.

 Heroic but futile efforts were made by the United States life saving crew and citizens of Marshfield to help the doomed ships company, several of whom clung to the rigging all last night, hoping for help.
 The Chief Engineers Escape.
 Kentzells escape is wonderful story of endurance and physical strength. When the ship piled on the reef ae abo six others took to the rigging of the foremast. Sea after sea dashed over inc vessel and finally tremendous sea washed KentzeIl and his companions from their places.
 kentzell was swept toward land time and again, but he was as often car ried out to sea by shifting currents un- til he grabbed piece of timber and was lowly driven shoreward. As he neared the beach and caught sight of reScuers consciousness left him and he knew nothing more until he came to the beach beside a big fire. He had been brought back to life after several hours vigorous treatment Tonight he is on the road to recovery. He lives in San Francisco.
 Six Survived Terrible Night.
 The identity of the six who survived the terrible night never will be known definitely, but it is believed they were Capt. c. J.
