 About o'clock Monday afternoon a man hurried in the police station in a very excited manner, His clothes were well covered with dirt and he wass wig orously applying a handkerchief to his nose to stay the flow of blosa. He told Captain Richmond that d fellow in the vicinity of the Stone Row had just peppered him and rolled him in the dirt because She did not show an inclination to fight when requested to square off s
 Captain Richmond hurried to the Row and after a struggle arrested a strapping young fellow who did not in tend to be taken to the coop if he could help it. He was just plain fight ing drunk and was attracting the at tention of a large crowd It is said that he is a suspended brakeman, but that he has been working in sew er gang in ths city of late.

Aviation isn't safe yet and there's no telling when the aeroplane is go- ing to buckle or the gas bag of diri- gible explode, so it's a safe conjec- ture that Emperor William of Ger many, King George of England, King Alfonso of Spain and some of the other monarchs are not going to risk their royal heads in the air and put the affairs of their country in jeop- ardy just to go soaring among the clouds.
 Imagine President Taft up in an aeroplane. To put it another way, imagine the aeroplane that would car ry the 300 pounds of the chief execu- tive of the United States It's prob able that Theodore Roosevelt would enjoy nothing better than a trip to the clouds. His daughter. Mrs. Long worth. is said to have expressed her eagerness to make a flight and may yet do so, but it's safe to say that the royal rulers of the empires across the pond are not going to follow the ex- ample of Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who at Harselle, near Liege, enjoyed the experience of flying twice around the Kiewit aerodrome on a machine pilot ed by Chevalier de Laminne
 When he started out with his son, Boris and Cyril, to watch the flights. his majesty had not the faintest inten- tion of leaving terra firma, but after seeing the chevalier's exploits his nat ural enthusiasm and love of sport got the better of his discretion.
 Ferdinand mounted the aeroplane with the chevalier and 1t rose grace fully and easily into the air, remain ing up eight minutes and half. After he came down the king said his expe- rience had been a delightful one.
 'I have never" he said, experienced anything that made me forget affairs of state so completely. I shall do my best to introduce aviation into Bull garia.''
 Some of the others would like to forget the affairs of state, but they will hardly take to the clouds for the purpose.

Trade Follows the Doctor.

At nine o'clock the stranger in the neighborhood saw a grocery wagon standing in front of the doctors house down the street. At ten o'clock an- other wagon stood there. and at Il o'clock still another.
 The doctors family must be big eaters if it takes so many grocers to supply their wants," she said to the janitor.
 "Oh, they are not all delivering stuff at the doctors house." said he. They are only stopping there as an adver tisement."
 Every grocer, butcher, baker and dairyman in the neighborhood hitches his wagon in front of the doctors house and carries the things from there the rest of the way. It pays to make folks think they have the doc tors trade.
 Many people who have just moved into a neighborhood never make up their minds who to deal with until they find out where the doctor trades. He is supposed to buy only the best foods and the newcomers feel safe in trading where he does."

THE POPE AN EARLY RISER
State of His Health Most Satisfactory Long Reigns of Recent Occu-
 pants of PapaI Chair.

The pope has become stouter than be was and less inclined to physical exertion, but altogether he is more TO- bust and finds mental labor less of burden. Of one thing he is proud, as he says. namely; that he is the earl lest riser in the whole Apostolic pal ace, as it is his constant practise to get rp at dawn, a habit which be him. self says dates from his early child hood, when he was obliged to get up with the sun in order to have time to do his lessons and to cover barefooted. the several miles which separated him from the nearest school.
 The excellent state of his health makes people wonder whether the life which the head of the Roman church has imposed upon himself since the fall of the temporal power, that is to say, of remaining always within the Vatican, is not conducive to longevity. In fact. while in the past the average duration of pontificate was from four to five years, since 1870 we have had the longest reigns known among the occupants of the chair of St. Peter: Plus K was the first to surpass St. Peters In length, while Leo XIII, who was elected chiefly because he was supposed to be so feeble that his life would be a short one, remained pope for 25 years, and Plus x. has already worn the fisherman's ring for seven years.
 Of course there Is a prediction that the present pope will not outlive the nine years of pontificate. because he was nine years a parish priest, nine years a bishop. and nine years patri- arch of Venice. However, whenever he has read in the papers, which he peruses carefully every day. that he ss also expected not to be more than nine years pope. he has exclaimed laughingly:
 This time I am going to disappoint themI"

100000, to use round numbers, he has worked hard enough to earn recrea- tion. This is the accomplishment of MT. Hitchcock and no one will be- grudge him all the rest he can take during the hot months. He said when he left that he expected to be gone only a few weeks, so he'll be back at his desk before long fighting that defi- cit again.
 To look at Hitchcock a person wouldn't think he ever would get tired. He's a six footer and built like an athlete. He's not only built like an athlete, but he once was one of no mean ability. He was the champion heavyweight boxer at Harvard. But the strongest of men sometimes get tired and MT. Hitchcock is like the rest of us.
 Had Frank H. Hitchcock chosen to be pugilist-his sensitive nature pro- hibited even such a thought-it is likely that he would have been the champion. He had the size, the strength. the skill, and, best of all, the intellect.
 A story has been told of bout that came of at the White House one day and as it never has been denied. al though MT. Hitchcock, even with his closest friends, has refused to discuss it, 1t is repeated here.
 Everybody knows that Theodore Roosevelt is no slouch with the gloves. He Is a scrapper of the Tom Sharkey type and likes to slug.
 One day Hitchcock was at the White House on business and Presi- dent Roosevelt invited him down to the gymnasim in the basement. The president tossed a pair of gloves to Hitchcock and said: Put 'em on." At the same time he drew on another pair. MT. Hitchcock peeled of his coast and vest and followed orders.
 In a minute the president of the United States and the then assistant postmaster general were at it. Roose- welt didn't like 1t because Hitchcock was using only slight taps.
 Hit" he shouted. Knock me out If you can"
 Again Hitchcock obeyed orders of his chief. Smash! went a straight jab on the presidential face. Bully" grunted Roosevelt. You can't do 1t again" Bing! A right swing stagger- ed the president.
 q guess that's enough exclaimed Roosevelt. q cant afford to be going around with a black eye. But if l were not the president I'd like to fight this out with you"
 Any time you say. MT. President" replied the obliging MT. Hitchcock.

RODE THE FOREST MONARCH

MANY WORDS FROM ONE ROOT
interesting Reading at This Time When So Many Are Interested
 in Aviation.

We say that aeronauts fly" and We nse a correct word of very ancient lineage. though its first users had no thought of applying 1t to motion through air, but confined it to the idea of moving through water. So really when we fly we are swimming through the air. for the water association has clung to the entire family of flying words in all of the Aryan languages.
 It has been a large family that has sprung from the Aryan root "plu, D on, became ''hu"-the change from the 'p" to the If" sound being quite common. That root to our Aryan an cestors conveyed the idea of swim ming through water and was after ward extended to motion in buoy ant manner in any supporting medium and finally has come to have a wide variety of meanings from moving like a bird through the air to flying into a passion and flying" as a rumor flies.
 That little root "plu" has grown in India and in the Sanskrit has been preserved intact, meaning to fly or jump. The Hindus call the frog "pla- va" because he is a jumper. In the Greek we have "pleein," to sail or float. The association with water is found fin the Latin "pluyia," which means rain, and gives us Jupiter Plu- vius. When we reach the Teutonic the 'f" sound begins and we have the base "fiut" on which the English words rest. In the Anglo Saxon there is ''fota' ship, because 1t floats in water, and in the Icelandic are exactly the same word and meaning Our Swedish brother has ''fiotta" for float or raft, and in Danish it Is "fyde," meaning to flow. The Dutch bring in their "v" and have "vlot" for a raft
 That root has given us scores of words in the English language. From fleet" several ships that float" on water, as well as fleet" to move swiftly like flowing water, or like an object through water.

 Would you prefer to sit it out?" he asked tenderly.

 What earthly difference does 1t make. so long as it was one?" he he growled.
