When II Is said OF a man he is
good family man, II is the same as
saying he makes his home a happy
and intelligent place; he treats his
wife courteously and his children
thoughtfully; he builds up home on
the lines of companionship, which he
brightens with intelligence and asplra-
uons; he loves his home and stays
there except when business, social or
public duty calls him elsewhere; he
delights in good books and music and
art and flowers. and reflects in his
life the efrulgence of them all: he
talks and thinks above the gossip and
trivial things about him and often
deals with the more serious and In

There was meeting of the new

was not present at the ceremony, be-

at the altar was taken by trusted
friend, who responded in his name to
the questions in the marriage cere-
mony, placed the ring on the brides
finger and afterward signed the name
of DR.. Porras in the marriage regis
ter. In other words, the almost
medieval ceremony of marriage by
proxy" was observed. Sonora Porras
will be in Washington next October
to meet her husband, and in defer
ence to modern thought there will be
another marriage ceremony in this
city. The second ceremony, how
ever, is unnecessary, because the mar
riage ceremony performed in San
Jose is wholly legal and is recognized
as legal and binding by both the state
and the church.

NAVAL AVIATOR
MAKES A RECORD
Trip From Annapolis to
Washington.
vOLAPLANED TO THE MALL
Lieut. John Rogers Unannounced
Started on the First Ambitious
Flight Made by an Army or
Navy Aviator.

Washington.-Lieu John Rogers,
of the Navy, son of Rear Admiral
Rogers, retired, OF Havre de Grace,
Nd, flew in a Wright aeroplane from
Annapolis, Md, to Washington, paid
his respects to naval officials here and
sailed to the Army aviation field at
College Park, Md, where he housed
his machine for the night.
The fight was the most successful
cross-country effort yet made by an
officer of the Navy or Army.
Between Annapolis and College
Park, while sailing along at 5000
feet in the air, his barograph showed
he struck severe windstorm, and
the frail air craft was buffeted about
by the winds for 20 minutes. 1t was
all the officer could do to keep from
being thrown from the seat OF the
machine, and had it not been for the
fact that he kept cool head he
would probably have been dashed to
the earth and instantly killed.
AS ii was, the machine at times
stood at an agile OF nearly GO degrees,
and farmers who witnessed the per-
formance marveled. When the wind
ceased the machine righted itself
from what might have been called
the trough of the air and then sped
onward. The aviator passed over
College Park and the army men sta
toned there were at loss to ex-
plain the strange aeroplane.
The trip to Washington was made
in one hour and twenty minutes and
Lieutenant Rogers arrived over the
city when the streets were crowded
with shoppers and government
clerks, just released from their Of
fees. All traffic was stopped as the
aviator sailed overhead. He circled
the downtown section of the city sew
eral times, executing that dangerous
descent known as the spiral dip. The
crowd in the streets held its breath
and wondered at the exhibition
Finally the sky pilot came down tc
about 500 feet above the ground ant
then he circled the Washington
Monument, flew out over Pennsyl
vania avenue and then back to thu
Mall, where he alighted.
The fight was the first ever made
from the new school of aviation t
this city, and in fact it is the frs
fight ever made by naval officer t
amount to anything.

BOY Tries TO Ros BANK
Cashiers Shots Save Cssh Of Laurel,
Md Institution.

Laurel, Md.-John r. Morgan, II
years old, of Fincastle, Va, made a
bold attempt Friday morning to rob
the Citizens National Bank of
Laurel.
The attempt failed and the would
be bandit was captured hiding in the
town about an hour and half later.
When first arrested he gave the name
of Henry Jackson and said he was
from Arizona. He was committed to
the Marlboro jail by Justice George
p. McCeney to await the action OF the
jury at the next term of the Prince
Georges County Court.
That Morgan did not succeed in
getting the banks cash was not due
to any lack of nerve, but rather to
the crudeness of his methods. Those
we're only worthy boy of his years.
In many respects the attempt to
loot the bank in this quiet place in
broad daylight reads like the thrill
ing narrative to be found between
the backs OF some cheap yellow
covered novel,
Morgan had been seen lettering
near the bank before its doors open
ed. He had on long linen duster,
such as is used by automobilists, and
a blue cap. He stood on corner
apparently reading a paper, with a
bundle wrapped in newspapers under
his arm. No one needed him as he
seemed harmless.

FAiTHLEss CORN.
McConnelsburg, Pa.

Corn has decided to do without the
respect and admiration OF the people.
The promise of the crop at the period
following early seeding was unex'
celled. and every eater OF meat and
eggs In the land could congratulate
himself that this promise was equal
TO the realization OF last year. The
immense crop of 1910 had cheapened
food considerably, and another large
one this year would have had ten
dency to settle prices for a couple
OF years or more. provided no real
shortage occurred in the crops OF
those years, says the Providence Jour
nal- But the current stock OF informa'
ton about the 1911 crop makes the
prospects for such a substantial ar
rangement for trade and business
wherever dependent on the crop any
thing but bright. Beef and hogs. with
poultry, will be the corn-eaters most

a repetition of the highest prices for
them, and Of the possible maximum

fowls. Three months ago the promise
under which these all have been sold
since last fall brought large supply
Of cheap corn into the market Today
the indications are OF rise to the
figures OF last summer and OF Septem-
ber and October Of last year. It Is pos
sible that the warm weather and
drought conditions have not seriously
hurt the crop and that the quotations
for corn will fall off correspondingly
when the real facts are shown to be

WINS At LAST
Burgess Finally Swims the
English Channel.
BATTLE WITH THE TIDE
Il Was His Sixteenth Attempt and He
Won Out Only After a Desperate
Effort--Was twenty-five
Hours In tho Water

Deal, England.-After lapse OF
sc years Capt. Matthew Webb's feat
of swimming the English channel has
been duplicated by VIM. T. Burgess,
Yorkshire man by birth and a
naturalized Frenchman. IL was
Burgess sixteenth attempt, he having
first essayed the task in 1904.
Burgess started from South Fore
land, Dover, at Ills o'clock Tues
day morning. He landed at lie
Chatelet, a little village two miles
east of Cape Girls Nez, at $50 o'clock
Wednesday morning, accomplishing
the passage in 20 hours and 35 min
utes. A motor boat accompanied the
swimmer, and 1t Is estimated that
Burgess, owing to the zig-zag course
he was compelled to take because OF
the battling tides, covered 60 miles.
Soon after the start dense fog set
tied down over the channel, and no
further tidings of his progress were
received until the announcement was
made that he had successfully accom-
plished the task and landed on the
French side.
Throughout the trip Burgess was
favored by calm sea, but strong
tide was running, and a severe strain
was put on the swimmer to get past
the Goodwin Sands. Twice he was
attacked by sickness and several
times was only held to his task by
the strongest will power and the en-
couraging words of the men in the
boat.
