spoken Word. We had a live message for you, two of them in
fact that we lacked the time to put before you Now, here is Proposition
Number One and briefly the history of its inception The SPECIAL ORDER
and the SAME DAY" FEATURE. A few months ago W conceived the
idea of SPECIAL ORDER DEPARTMENT. We had special order slips
printed. When We were unable to supply just what was wanted from our
Many rather than substitute something not suitable to their needs, looked
through ur catalogues with u made selection thatW satisfactory in every
respect by return mail or express received the goods ordered and were salts

the local stock-thats very probable-but it hardly possible that you could
not find what you want on the shelves of the wholesalers, and that is just

regular feature with lis. Some few avail themselves of this opportunity every

Features. This means-We send your order the SAME DAY it is given u.s.

Atwood Spectacular
Flight Over New York.
COnquers Places Long Stunned
By Drivers Of AeTopIanes.
Feat unheraIded.--" Guess I'll Fly
Down to New York"

Boston, July Harry n. Atwood. a
| RoXbHry boy and graduate of Tech,
| was crowned king of the air by gen
eral consent Saturday when he smash
| ed the worlds record for distance in a
continuous aeroplane fight by ilyinS
| from New London, CT, to Governor S
Island, New York harbor.
The young and audacious birdman
flew $50 miles. He was in the air 3
hours and 20 minutes. He finished his
long trip through the air by one of
the most spectacular aerial perform
ances over the city of New York ever
undertaken by an aviator
Thousands of Gethamites were
thrilled by the sight of the birdman
soaring over the big bridges that span
the East river, circling the heaven
kissing Singer building, lowering like
fcathered creature of prey over Wall
street and then settling gracefully and
without a single mishap on Governor 5
Islan'.
The first thing the young air naviga-
tor did after he hit the earth Was To
hunt up a telephone. Then he called up
his mother at No. Al Elmore street,
osten.
I'm all right, mother" he phoned.
and I'm coming home tonight"
How are you coming, by aeroplane p
asked the mother.
Nc, by train" replied Atwood
Atwood returned to Boston Satur-
day night. He later declared that he
would try for the big $4,000 prize offer
ed BY William r. Hearst fer the trans
continental aeroplane TRIP between New
York and San Francisco.
Il will telegraph to Charles Hamii-
ton in San Francisco tonight, he de-
clared, and see if he will go into the
trans-eontinental race for $4,000 with
me. If he will help | will undertake il
Il have been studying mountain cur
rents up in New Hampshire. and shall
go West to study them and their ell
fects on aeroplaning above the Rockies
| feel confident | can make the trip
from New York to Chicago. My blplane
is the fastest and strongest machine
ever built. and | am not afraid of any
flight with it,
To Boston not only comes the honor
of breaking the worlds record in At
woods remarkable trip. but the ma.
chine in which it was made was man
ufactured by the Burgess-Curtis con-
Germ at Marblehead. The machine that
stood the great tset and in which At
wood sailed through the air from Bos-
ton to New London on Friday is
Burgess Wright biplane.
Atwood's great feat was not herald
ed by a theatrical announcement. He
announced at New London quite cas-
ually that he guessed he'd fly down to
New York. and getting up early sat
urday morning he looked over his ma
chine. tanked up with gasoline and
started.

A SEALED BOOK.
Is That What the Bible is Becoming
in This Generation?

A few years ago | was speaking on
political reform in one of the great
cities of the United States. On the
platform were some of the first citi-
zens of the city.
Il took up the pocket Bible which
/ generally carry with me wherever
go and saying, I have here an old
book which is q favorite with me- pro-
ceeded TO read Jotham's parable of the
trees from the book of Judges.
Tive gentlemen on the platform
asked me what the book was from
which | read the story; one Of them
was Judge in one of the courts of
the atates
"a friend of mine, teacher Of
geography in large secondary schnel,
all of whose pupils came from culti-
waited families and many of them from
church going families, asked her class
of over SO members if they could re-
call any well-known historical incl
dent connected with Egypt,
!, Getting no reply she hpted at the
f5et,that dhe Jews came out,pt Egspt
and Attempted to recall to tEefa the
