Wilbur Wright Patiently Ex-

New York. May 2..-Wilbur Wright,
the aviator. was startled when he was
asked today why he had never mar
tied. For a moment after the question
he gave an excellent imitation OF sus-
pended animation He stood poised
like a pointer pup, not a muscle of his
face moving Then the corners of his
mouth began to twitch and rising
wave Of mirth crinkled his eyelids.
We'll, you see, 1T is this way: II a
woman loved me e great deal she nat
urally would not wish me to fly; she
would think 1t dangerous and if she
did not worry over me / would think
she did not care, and I would not want

he was asked.
You can get a very good one for
$1,000, replied the expert.
A Wife Like an AeropIane.
How much does it cost to run one
for a year?"
"oh, that depends upon just how you
use it and ali that" began Mr. Wright,
but why do you ask?''
II was just wondering whether an
aeroplane or wife was the more ex-
pensfve- was remarked, pensively.
"Oh, that is it, is it?' he said. well
they are both such cantankerous things
you cannot tell how either of them will
act until after you get them. 1 dare
say the day will come when many
women will own and operate their own
aeroplanes.
Easy for a Woman to Fly.
Just now ] do not approve of wom-
en- operating them much. Not because
they are dangerous. but because 1t is
still conspicuous for a women to fly
Most of the women who now operate
aeroplanes do so for the sake of the
notoriety they obtain that way. Wom-

spicuous"
But is an aeroplane difficult for
woman to operator"
Not ct all. There is nothing heavy
to handle. 1t is not as hard to learn
to run an aeroplane as it is TO learn to
ride a bicycle. AS far as the danger
goes, there is less danger in flying
even now than there is in motoring in
the way the average chauffeur runs his

LAW BARS CASTING
CHECKS UNDER ST
c. G. Dey Loses Bet to Fl. P. Myton
on Cashier Rodney 7. Badgers
Decision.

Despite the fact that a national law
declares it Illegal for any national
bank in the country to cash a check
for any sum less than one dollar, even
though the owner of the name on the
check be a depositor in the bank, To-
cal national banks are compelled to
overlook the technicality.
Yesterday a bet was made between
Census Agent H. P. Myton and c. c.
Dey as to whether such a law actual
ly exists, Mr. Myton betting that it
does and Mr.. Dey that it does not
In the course of their efforts to
prove their respective contentious,
they solicited the opinions of numer-
Gus Salt Lake attorneys, and they,
without exception, declared it legal
for a national bank 70 cash a check
for less than loo cents. The state
ment of Rodney T. Badger, cashier of
the Utah National bank, however, was
to the effect that such cashing is IL
legal.
The law does not apply to state
banks except in a few eastern COM
mOnwealths where the legislatures
have passed enactments so as to make
the state Institutions conform with
the national banks as to cashing.

CATS CAN TEACH
WOMEN GRACE
American Woman'S Carriage
Ruined by Hurry, Says
Expert.

LEARN EASE OF MANNER.

New York, May 2S.-'1 don't care

who gives lessons in walking and the
correct carriage Of the body. Il say
to my customers, Stop worrying about
your complexion and devote more time
to your figure, and especially to your
carriage
Many things make for poor car
rage these days. One is the universal
woman can walk fast in skirts and
look graceful Skirts are made to
swing slowly; or, rather, they should
not sswing at all, they should simply
glide.
IF women would study the motions
of the cat they would learn how to be
pretty IN their motions. They would
see the perfect symmetry and ease
with which the cat moves. They would
study her manners, and even her
methods. The cat never hurries. She
may leap, but she does SO with dis
erection. Not so a woman. She jumps
ungracefully. headlong. The cat
manages her body with a graceful per-
lection that is as wonderful as it is
fascinating.
'Watch the Cat Wake Up
How does a cat act? This is a
question 1 ask my pupils. Wen. she
acts with elaboration. When she
wakes up she wakes up slowly. She
stretches her paws and yawns Out
go her limbs, one after the other, ard
finally she opens her claws and exer-
cises them. She wakes up by degrees.
This is a good lesson for women
who yearn to be graceful. Wake UP
by degrees. Yawn and use your mus
cles. You viii feel the better all day.

Cambridge, Mass, May 2S.-Ac-

occupation man can indulge in Dur

lege the cost of his food has not aver
aged more than 81 a week. and he has

in his studies
1T is easy enough to live on IA or
Is cents a day." says Long. Its easy
when you've worked 1t out to two
things-system and habit. First,
man has got to find out just the great
est amount of nOurishment that a CIV
en- allowance Of money will bring, and
so arrange his diet that it will best fit
his individual needs. That's system.
Second, he has got to get used to eat
ing those things right along and forget
that variety is the spice of life And
that's habit
Habit counts the most A man Can
live on almost anything and thrive on
il. if he can only get used to it and
has the grit to stick to the kind of
food he has chosen. The present-day
standards of living are just the absurd
results of habit, which have BEN
pampered- When men were savages
they lived on what they could find IN
the fields, together with what meat
they occasionally killed Living in q
way as simple as the animals, they
were bound to be healthy and strong.
"The time has now come when peo-
pie are beginning to realize the neceS-
sity Of a simple diet, but it is still a
matter of theory rather than practice
with most. Eat enough, but don't
overcrowd your stomach. The stom-
ach is not a machine. But it will work
like one for you If you use IT carefully
and Systematically. Meat is all right,
but a man does not need a great deal.
even if he is doing athletic work.
There is good chance for a man

course, he cannot live on a dollar a

any novice can thrive on 81 easily.

AT Randall hall you get bread ana

all anyone needs for breakfast. For
lunch he can get something like cream
toast, or vegetables or some kind for
trifle more. That allows him enough
to get a sufficiently good meal at nigh t,

question applies to other matters about

in the School for the Blind in New
York City and there remained for
eleven years. They gave me a good
education. When l returned home
soon realized that mother was getting
feeble and it was I'D 10 me to earn
the living. I put on my sign, Percy
W Cannon, Blind Chair Gamer and
Piano Tuner We lived so far out Of
3 town that work came slowly and I
didn't prosper. 1 tried peddling beads
snd trinkets which I had learned to
make at school, but this was tedious
work. I could sell them readily
enough, but II took too long to make
them.
Next I turned to lecturing in the
Piainfield and adjacent churches on
the work done in the school for the
blind. I was well paid for this work
but the territory was too limited and
could not go over the same ground
TOO often. and I abandoned it. All the
while my mother cheered me up and
told me ali would come out well in
the end In 1900 our home was burned
TO the ground by spark from a loco
motive. Then we moved closer into
town and bought q little house with
what I saved from my lectures.

Il again hung out my sign and soon
found 1 had all the work at Gaming
chairs I could do. This work is very
combining and arduous, and two years
ago my health gave out and 1 had TO
let up. I still do a little Gaming, but
l cant work the day through at IL
Then I conceived the idea of building
a little shop in front of the house. I
wrote to many Of my good friends,
and they contributed toward the cost
Of the store. It is finished now, and
the bulk Of the work 1 did myself. I
am selling candy, soda water and
cigars and tobacco, and soon hopa TO
have enough capital to carry a full
line Of groceries. 1 have been prom
ised the agency for coal and wood
concern, and this may increase our
income.
ut is wonderful what one can ac-
cOmplish if he only tries. and I am a
firm believer In the old adage that al
things come to him who waits. I met
a friend day or SO ago who said he
would make me sub-agent for his real
estate firm. He thinks I can make
sales for him despite the fact thar I
am blind. told him thought blind
man can do anything he tries to do.
I cut all the wood we burn at our
home and in the shop I can't see
where 1 am striking when l swing my
ak, but 1 never miss, and 7 can cut as
much wood as the average man. I

work about the place myself My
chickens pay fairly we'll; that is. when
