can do just as good work as though
they were high in the air. Many peo-
pie imagine that by standing outside
Of the grounds they can see the fight
just as well as if they we're within
the grounds. This is not the case, be-
cause it gives a very poor idea of the
working of the machine.
Nels J. Nelson has been very sue
cessful in all his attempts of aviation
and has practically met with very
few accidents, none of them serious
While some of his attempts have even
been more daring than other aviators,
and the fact that he recently made a
record breaking flight at Petaluma,
CAL, to Santa Rosa, distance OF
fourteen and one-half miles in twelve
minutes and thirty-two seconds, goes
to show that he must be something
of an aviator In this fight just men
toned he got away apparently with
as much ease as bird, which goes
to show that a man can run an aero
plane as easily as he can run an auto
mobile, providing that he does not get
too reckless.
Mr.. Nelson will fly the first time for
first money, instead of guaranteed
proposition. In fact. the certainty here
is based upon a percentage with a
minimum guarantee that their share
will not be less than enough to cover
their actual expenses. This goes to
show thet Nelson has confidence in
his drawing powers for the aviation
meet arranged in this city This fact
alone should without doubt draw the
largest crowds ever seen at one time
in Bryan Both the railroads will run
special trains for the meet.

swEETHEARTs THREE.

Sweethearts come and sweethearts go,
According to the weather.
But three there be as true as steel
And loyal altogether.
| fell in love, the first / loved
In fact, we loved each other,
In hottest of sacred ties
My own dear gentle Mother.
Sweethearts come and sweethearts go,
According to the season,
But know one who changes not,
Who loves beyond all reason.
When first / saw her face, found
(And only love discovery,
The sweetest wife that ever lived,
And she and ! are lovers.
Sweethearts come and sweethearts go,
According to the notion,
But one there is whose little heart
Is deeper than the ocean.
And DER her little golden head
Gods angels surely hover,
The truest sweetheart.in the world,
My own wee baby-lover.
There's a place in my heart for my
old true love,
For the Mother who first loved me,
And a throne of pure white for my
hearts delight,
For the Queen of my life is she,
And wee little niche for the rosy
checked witch
Who is dearer than life can be;
I'm in love, I'm in love, and | ever
shall be,
And I'm happy, so happy with sweet
hearts three!'
