Another aviator killed to make an
American holiday. The man, who
was an expert air.man and had flown
in the recent great meet at Chicago,
explained to the managers of the ex-
hibition that his machine was not
working as he would like to have it
and that the weather conditions were
rather unfavorable, beside. and de-
clined to make flight that had been
advertised for that day. Then the
crowd began to jeer and taunt him,
crying "fakir" and "coward", and
all that kind Of thing until in sheer
desperation, to save his reputation as
ne thought, he went up--only to fall
to his death, his wife and daughter
being among the spectators. st. AL
bans Messenger.
The fist part of this scene was ex-
actIy duplicated at our local fair-and
the last part came all too near being
enacted also, the aviator smashing
his machine but escaping with slight
injuries himself.

Philosophical Irishman.

An Irishman came into a barber
shop, and the unsteady gait with which
he approached the chair showed that
he had been imbibing of the produce
of the still. He wanted his hair cut
and while the barber was getting him
ready went off into a sleep. His head
kept bobbing from one side to the
other, and at length the barber IN
making snip cut off the lower part
of his ear The barber jumped about
and howled and a crowd Of neighbors
rushed In. Finally the demonstra

said, "Wh-wh-at's the matter wid

in philosophy and theology was ordained priest
on June 80, 1S61.-the anniversary of which event
is concentrated by the double jubilee in
prospect.
The early work of the churchman was in Bal
timore, with which city his church services have
been so coDspicuously identified all through his
long career. Later, however, after serving
private secretary to the late Archbishop Spalding
he was consecrated bishop of North Carolina and
remained in that state four years. Then followed
five years of service with similar responsibilities
in the state of Virginia. In May, 1877, he was ap
pointed coadjutor with the right of succession to
the archbishop of Baltimore and in less than a
year he formally installed archbishop. He

in 1888 to outline the work of the third plenary
council and his marked ability in this connection
at once noted by Pope Leo KILL who forth
with appointed him to preside the plenary
council. During the meeting of the council the
American archbishop further won the appreciation
of the pope who to show his appreciation nomi-
mated him for cardinal,-the signal honor, the
acquisition of which forms the second object of
the commemorative program planned.
1t seems peculiarly appropriate that the per-
manent memorial to Cardinal Gibbons in connec-
ton with his jubilee should take the form of
hall at the Catholic university for If there is one
project for which this prince of the church has
ever been a champion and earnest worker 1t
is this selfsame center of higher education under
Catholic auspices. It will be remembered that
Cardinal Gibbons laid the cornerstone of the uni
versity and oticiated at the formal opening of
the institution, whereas the activities of his long
service chancellor of the university are fresh
in the minds of all who keep in touch with educa-
uonal progress.
AS has been limited above the personal habits of
the cardinal of the simplest character He is
ever active and a subscriber to the theory that
change of occupation is the dear rest. Cardinal
Gibbons has long been known as an early riser
getting up as early as $3.50 in summer and seldom
later than O'Clock even in winter. He usually
says mass at o'clock, this being the custom no
matter whether he is at the cathedral in Balti-
more, or at modest summer retreat in the coun.
try, or at some quiet seaside resort After mass
comes breakfast and then an interval is devoted
to reading the newspapers, for the cardinal keeps
closely in touch with all current events not for
getting decidedly keen interest in what is trans
piring in the baseball field.
The main portion of the morning is apportfoned
between replying to correspondence receiving
visitors and literary work. For the latter the car
diual find all too little leisure but he has al.
ready attained high rank as a contributor to the
literature of the church. his book THE Faith of
Our Fathers" being regarded by eminent scholars

logic and literary expression. The cardinals cor

Unless he is to attend formal dinner of some
kind in the evening the cardinal usually has the
principal meal of the day shortly after noon and
then lies down for a brief sesta particularly IL
he has had an unusually strenuous morning. Later
in the afternoon there is another attack upon the

The Bayou Bridge and Cupid
By NELLIE CRAVEY GILMORE

With head Dent and lips tightly COM
pressed. Matilda hurried swiftly past
the camp. town steep clay road and
on to the bayou bridge that led to
rural delivery box No. 33, OH the other
side
1t was gusty, disagreeable day. At
Intervals, the rain whipped down in
sheets, alternately slackening to a
sticky, penetrating drizzle. The wind
tore at the willow branches that dipped
into the stream, and the waters of the
bayou writhed under it's violence.
Half way across the bridge, an ag-
gressive gust suddenly seized the
girls umbrella and flung 1t viciously
into the turbulent, black water. Turn
ing Involuntary, with futile grasp at
the flying parachute, Matilda abruptly
twisted her feet sideways, catching the
heel of her boCc in a crack between
the planls. Just then, an angry
cloudburst broke relentlessly upon the
unprotected head of the hapless pris-
oner, and with hands tightly gripping
the railing of the bridge. she waited,
with what patience she could COM
mand, for its fury to subside
When at last she could get her
breath, she lifted her head and looked
about her, struggling frantically to re-
lease the mutinous heel But to no
avail. Every jerk and pull seemed to
make it that much more secure. What
should she do?
She strained her eyes up and down
the bridge in desperation, but not
human being was in sight She wait
ed. perhaps fifteen minutes. Then
she stopped and made another wild
effort to dislodge the boot. In so do
ing, she wrenched her ankle, so that
further attempts to free herself were
both painful and fruitless. With a
sigh she leaned against the railing
and bit her white lips to keep them
from trembling.
Presently the wind ceased, the rain
shrank back into the clouds, and the
lead of the sky broke up in patches of
blue and silver With renewed hope,
Matilda scanned the road from east to
west. And then, glory of glories! a
man was just heaving into view on the
brow of the hill opposite. She watched
him eagerly, thankfully. But as he
came nearer, near enough for her to
recognize the broad, straight shoulders
and the massive head under the drip

ture an accommodating zephyr lifted
the envelope from her fingers and
tossed it out on the water, where a
still more accommodating current bore
it swiftly into the eddies.
Cheatham thrust his hands into his
pockets and stood staring at her
mingled curiosity and alarm showing
on his good-looking face
'Ycu-you've changed your mind"
he said at last, very gravely, after his
recent exuberance.
The guilty crimson flowed over Ma.
tilda's face, and without word she
turned and began to retrace her steps
back toward the camp.
Cheatham matched his step with
hers and they walked along in silence
for several minutes, Needless of the
mud and slush, of rair-soaked gar
ments, of the inquisitive pedestrians
who turned to look at them every now
and then
AS they came in sight of the camp
ers' tents, Cheatham paused and
looked sternly into the face of the girl
at his side.
Look here, Matilda" he said in
voice that was different from any she
had ever heard him use before, Il

sharp, indignant, but Matildas eyes
lifted their sober curtains long enough
to emit lambent little fash that was
nothing If not contradictory.

said demurely, Il Think think we
can talk better"
Cheatham Invested himself of his
rain coat and left it on bench in the
yard. Inside he roamed about the
little reception parlor" of the tent
waiting. like Gagged lion, for the girl
to make her appearance.
She came in at last, gowned in some
diaphanous white thing that Cheat,
ham thought made her look exactly
like a star floating in q gauzy silver
cloud. She was smiling. and her eyes,
as he held them to his own, were soft
and dreamy with their subtle COMES
sion.
Cheatham reached forth eager arms
to draw her into them, but the apollo
getic entrance of an ebony-faced In
dividual caused him to reconsider for
a moment.
81 begs pardon, but somebody wish
to speak to Miss Driscoll on de
phone"
BE good enough" said Cheatham,
"to tell the gentleman that Miss Dris-
coll isis engaged"
When the door had been closed,
humbly and obsequiously, he turned
to Matilda for confederation.
The next minute he was holding the
white cloud against his breast, and
the star seemed to have no objection
to its new armament.
