features Mr.. Bailey has voiced his op-
position, he wrote his resignation and
took 1t to the vice president with the
request that he announce It 10 the

her lap as she sits in the coach all
in white. At the hall door the whole
apparition vanishes. Anne's father
Sir Thomas, also rides in coach
drawn by headless horses once a year
and his ride is much more exciting
than his daughters. He has to cross
forty county bridges during the
night and a company Of yelling de-
mons pursue the coach to keep the
horses going. But how do the horses

FLYERS FIRST LESSON.

The aviator's first lesson is to
learn to steer his airship in a per-
fectly straight line for distance OF
a mile or over. This looks very easy
until you discover that an ordinary
aeroplane possesses the perversity
common TO all inanimate objects. II

instead of the straight way that you
seek to direct. Your first dash
across the field and back takes two

THE KINGS WAY.

1t was characteristic of Edward
VII. that he never showed too much
or too little courtesy, but just enough
to maintain his reputation of being
the most gracious gentleman of Eu-
rope. Some years ago, according to
the author of 'The Peoples King,
his majesty visited Aberdeen, and
knighted the lord provost.
At the luncheon which followed
the king sat next to Mrs. Lyon, the
wife of the lord provost, and noticed
on the table the card denoting her
place.
81 must alter this" the king said,
smiling ON the lady.
With his pencil he effaced the word
Mrs. and in its place substituted
Lady and graciously handed the card
to her newly made ladyship.-

especially selfish in its attitude

of its terrors. The latest achieve

the non-rolling steamship-an ac-

seasickness. The publicity depart
ment of one of the important trans
oceanic companies sends out word
that the non-rolling boat is now a re-
atty and that a system of rolling
tanks solve the problem of centuries.
Some large steamers equipped with
these tanks have proved, it is said,
the effectiveness of the device, the
lateral motion of ships, which was
from eight to fourteen per cent. hav'
ing been reduced to three per cent
1t is the promise that the tank sys

soon be installed on the largest ships

tenn is that the tanks are gu" shaped
and filled with water, which is con-
trived to roll in an opposite direction

True eloquence, indeed, does not

in vain. Words and phrases may be
marshaled in every way, but they
cannot compass it. 1t must consist

HERE'S A FREE TRANSLATION
How 4 Familiar English Hymn Was
Turned Into the eo.th African
vernacular.

The difficulties Of true translation
are enormous, says a European let
ter to the New York Sun. This fact
has been recently discovered again
by some South American mission
aries who have had some fsvorite
English hymns translated into the
vernacular for the benefit Of their
native converts.
Months after they had been ex-
horting their congregations to join
heartily in the singing they found
out that their translator had been
particularly free. One Of the finest
examples of this was his version OF
the well-known hymn which opens
with the line, "Lord dismiss us with
thy blessing" This was rendered
lord, kick us out, softly, softly"

WREN GUARDS HIS HOME.

In Central America there is q
wise little bird not any bigger than
a canary, that makes great effort
to protect its nest from thieves, says
the Century Path. 1t builds in a
tree which has branches very close
together and sets the nest on firm
place made by fastening the branches
together with sticks and strings
Then it builds a covered entrance
to the nest along this woven pave
ment and all along this, as well as
on the nest, it places thorns, SO that
it is just as if the place were guard
ed by tiny barbed wire fences. There
is even a door to the nest, which is
closed when the baby birds are left
alone, and more thorns are put up
at that time as if to make certain
that no one shall be able to steal the
birdlings.

PATHETIC LErER OF POE
Rsp lion FOR InsobrIety Was Source
Of Much Palm to Great
Poet.

An ancient controversy, to which
no little interest is still attached,
both on account Of sentiment and Of
curiosity, has been revived through
the publication of one Of Edgar AL
len Poe's autograph letters, recently
dtsposed Of at the sale Of the Poe
literary collection. In this letter
Poe says Of himself:
''The fact is that my habits are
abstentious and omit nothing for
health. I rise early. eat moderately,
drink nothing but water, and take
abundant and regular exercise in the
open air. But this is my private life,
and, Of course. escapes the eye Of the
world. The desire for society comes
on me only when / have become er-
cited by drink. Then only I GO
that Is, at these times only, I have
been in the practice Of going among
my friends, who seldom or, in fact,
never, have seen me, unless excited,
take it for granted that / am always
so. Those that really know me know
better"
There is something pathetic In
this appeal for kindly judgment to
a group of witnesses so restricted as
to eliminate those whom he calls his
friends 1t leaves virtually but two,
his delicate young wife and her
mother, and it may be well to re-
member that these two in their testi-
mony to the unhappy genius con-
firm his statements to the smallest
detail.

The observer stepped closer-the
boy was studying a color plate, The
frontispiece Of the book. The pic
ture showed a barren plain In the
distance was the dim outline Of
snow-covered mountains. The pic
ture was real--it seemed to breathe
Of sage brush and alkali.
The boy looked up. "Ain't II

is lots farther away than they look. >

again, and then said without raising
