FLYING MACHINE is UNIQUE
Aeronaut Rigs Himself Up and Then
Walks Through Air as He Would
Through a Street.

Every few days somebody invents
new kind of flying machine, and one
OF the most interesting of the latter
contrivances Is that designed by
Nebraska man and shown herewith.
The illutration tells the story and it
would seem to indicate that the aero
naut gets rugged up and then walks off
through the air as he would walk up
the street. A small balloon has a
frame depending from it. This frame
has a broad belt that encompasses
the operators body under the armpits
and supports him. Flexibiy connect
ed with the frame are auxiliary buoy
ant bodies, like small boats, on which
the feet rest, and which afford a re-
sistance to the air when the aeronaut
goes through the motion of walking,
and are expected to enable him to act
ually walk on air. Finally, the op-
orator is equipped with light, broad
bladed paddle, like the pa1dle of

BENEFAcToR OF THE CATS

Spreading catnip for Their
Dedication.

A black cat lay sleeping on Sun
day afternoon downtown behind a
grating protecting the steps leading
to an Office building. Along the street
came a man, who spied the cat and
stopped with glistening eye.
He drew from his coat pocket a
small pasteboard box and from it he
sprinkled some STUFF on the lower
step. He Kissed and called to the cat,
which lazily opened one eye, but went
back to sleep again.
"A cat poisoner," thought one on
locker. Then he asked: what is
that stuff"
"Catnip," replied the man with the
pasteboard box, in accents that made
it unmistakable that he was German.
II always carry 1t around and when
ever see cat sprinkle some on 1t.
The cats like 1t and I like cats, SO
give them what enjoyment can"
He went on his way and the other
stayed to see what would happen. OF
sudden the sleeping cat started up.

right up to the cannon's mouth and
squinted down 1t. Then she turned

His Sacrifice.

He was a good little boy and very
thoughtful. He had heard about the
great scarcity of water throughout
the country. He came to his mother
and slipped his hand into hers.
Mamma" he said, 'is it true that
in some places the little girls and
boys have scarcely enough water to
drink
THAT is what the papers say, my
dear"
Mamma" he presently said, I'D
like to give up somethin' for those
poor little boys and girls
His mother gave him fond look.
Eyes dear. And what would you like
to give up?''
Mamma" he said in his earnest
way, "as long as the water is so very
scarce think l ought to give up bein'
wahsed."

I shall send you up to the nursery"
do you mean it, auntie?" asked
the naughty little miss.
"Yes!"-even more sternly-"I do
mean it; you have already bothered
me quite enough
There was the unmistakable note OF
firmness that every child can recog.

alive stiffness.
After about ten minutes auntie
turned round with an approving smile:

Nellie climbed on to her knee and
