A Rosy Reioinder.

A too convivially inclined young clubman was introduced at reception last week to a clever society woman whom he understood in some hay fashion to be a great artist She was not an artist. nor had she ever made any attempt to be. But the young man. whose wits were apt to go wool gathering at times. thought she was. And he was very anxious to make a sufficiently pretty speech to her.
 He murmured the usual convention alities when he was presented, and You paint. don't you? So many peo- pie have told me about itr' be then said ingratiatingly.
 The young woman stared at him. looked him severely in the eyes. let her glance fall on every feature of his perplexed face. gared her indignation and then she spoke:
 If l do." she remarked fcily, "at least don't make a mistake and put it on my nose. e."-Philadelphia Times.

A Beautiful Calendar

The publishers of The Youths Companion will as always at this season, present to every sub- scriber whose subscription (S1.75) is paid for 1912, a beautiful cal endar for the new year. The cover picture reproduces a water color painting of a bit of New Eng land coast, giving a glimpse of breeze swept ocean, of smiling sky, of warm, sunny rocks,
 which will come like a breath of salt air to those who have once lived near the sea and to those whose whole life has been passed inland. The picture being in eight colors, the tones of the or iginal are faithfully reproduced.

.'Rating UP"

A young insurance writer was enthusiastic about his months, business.
 Why. I've written S4O0, 900 worth of insurance this month, including eight saloon-keepers. "
 'Is writing insurance for saloon-keepers such an extraor- dinary feat?"
 Well, I should say! They be- long to the most hazardous class of risk we take-consequently We rate them up eight years. -
 What do you mean by rating up eight years?' Suppose for example, that a saloon keeper is thirty-two years old. We charge him the rate of forty years, which greatly in creases his rate of payment.
 It doesn't seem as if the saloon keepers would like to be discriminated against in that way
 Huh. most of them are glad 10 get in on most any terms. Many of the old line companies won't accept them under any circumstances the risk consid- cred too great. "
 "Why?"
 Well, they've a dangerous calling which brings them in contact with dangerous associ- ates. There continuously liable 10 bodily injury. and temptation to drink and all that. Only last week we had to pay out two pol ices on saloon-keepers. One was shot, as he stood behind his bar; the other left his place of busi- ness soaked wandered on the interurban tracks, was struck and ground to peices by car. That meant the company had to hand over a lot of money"
 Do you ever rate up any other callings?"
 70 yes structural steel work CTS, electric linemen, and such like. But our company does its highest rating up on saloon-keep- CTS.
 Do not these statements made from a cold-blooded business viewpoint speak eloquently against intemperance?

IL McCurdy can easily attain seventy
FIVE miles an hour. With such a ma.
chine he will give demonstrations at
the Blue Grass fair that will be not
only thrilling to the spectator, but OF
very great educational value as well,
Beginning Tuesday, August Sth. the
second day OF the fair, Mr.. McCurdy
will make several flights each day.
He will attain an altitude Of more thar
a mile and will remain in the air from
thirty TO forty minutes. On August

grounds of the Blue Grass Fair asso-
citation in Lexington to Winchester,
the county seat of Clark county. eigh'
teen miles distant. There he will
alight for a few minutes to carry a
communication from the officials OF
the Blue Grass fair to the mayor OF
Winchester, and, when an answer is
received, will come Immediately back
to the Blue Grass fair grounds. The
round try, including the stop at Win
chester, will be made in less than an
hour and a half This trip will not
only prove the speed of the McCurdy
machine, but it will also show the prac
tical uses to which modern air craft
of the best type can be put.
The management Of the Blue Grass
fair anticipates that these aeroplane
flights alone will be considered by the
people of Central Kentucky we'll worth
the price of admission and will draw
to the grounds record-breaking crowds

Outstanding Pin importance among
the amusement features arranged for
the big Blue Grass fair, which will be
held at Lexington the week Of August
9TH to 18th, are the daily aeroplane
flights to be given by the world famous
aviator, Mr.. J. A. ID. McCurdy.
No other modern science is the sub
ject of so much interest to-day as the
effort to perfect aerial navigation.
Among those engaged in this work,
Mr.. McCurdy holds a foremost place.
The feats which he has already ac-
compnshed have given him a reputa-
ton that is not confined to the Amer
lean continent, but extends through
out the world. A nephew OF DIR. Alex
ander Graham Bell, inventor of the
Bell Telephone, Mr.. McCurdy has been
placed all bis life 10 the closest touch
with foremost scientific investigation,
and his work with heavier-thm-air ma
chimes has done much for the devel-
opment Of the science Of navigation.
Perhaps best known among his &C
complisbments along this line is the
fight made last winter from Tampa to
| Havana. II was the longest water
fight in the history of aviation and
proved beyond peradventure the abso-
Lutte practicability of the aeroplane. In
addition Mr.. McCurdy was the first
man to send a wireless message from
an aeroplane, and he has made nu-
merous other experiments and flights
that have not only been spectacular,
but have been of large service in the
advancement of the science to which
he has devoted his life.
Formerly connected with the Glenn
II. Curtiss Co., Mr.. McCurdy has now
a powerful organization of his own
and is building his own machine. He
is using the world famous Gnome mo-
tor, which holds all records in aviation
for distance, duration, speed and alti'
tude. The speed of the new McCurdy
machine, which will be shown to the
American people for the first time al
the Blue Grass fair, IS equal TO that OF
