HAD LIVELY TRIAL.
Bad Blood i'm Walden Church Affair
Aired in Municipal Court.

Probably one Of the most warmly
contested cases to come before the
Caledonia Municipal court was heard
by Judge David Porter at Hardwick
last Monday. It was the case of c..
L. Smith VS.. G. T. Eastman, e. e.
Harrington, G. H. Brown, H. M. Per-
kins, F. L. Taylor, G. II. Stevens,
Martin Goodenough and Carroll Fl.
White, all of Walden. Mr.. Smith
seeks to recover $500 on note
signed by the defendants.
1t appears that the people of
Walden some years ago purchased
house for a parsonage and gave
note for $3.50 signed by the de-
PENDANTS and others to complete the
payment of the purchase price. Mr..
Smith purchased an interest In the
property and then purchased the
note. The defendants rendered him
the money for what they claimed
was due on the note which Smith re-
fused and they had the sum depos-
tied in bank for him to draw. He
refused to take it until it was claim
ed the note had outlawed and then
the defendants refused to pay it.
B. e. Billiard, attorney for the
plaintiff, was called as a witness re-
garding a payment on the note and
he refused to testify saying he pre-
ferred to have a verdict against his
client to answering the questions.
Accordingly Judge Porter gave
verdict for the defendants and the
plaintiff talks of appealing the case.
Criminal Cases.
Henry Scion appeared before
Judge Porter at Hardwick and was
found guilty of a second offence Of
intoxication and is serving 80 days
sentence in jail.

,LIC IGNORANCE AND AEROPLANE
Continued from page S

T Asst summer one of the biggest automo-
- bile firms in this country was considering
an aeropane flight as a means to advertise
its goods The scheme was to have promi-
nent aviator make the first flight down the
length of Broadway and scatter the printed
announcements of the new type of car the
factory was preparing to put out. | was
called into consultation to see if it could be
done, and during the discussion the head Of
the automobile firm asked:
"Would it be possible to paint the name of
the car in big letters underneath the Wings"
"Certainly,' | answered.
His face frightened; but fell Immediately.
"Still, that wouldn't do any good, he said.
Il suppose the wings have to flap 50 fast that
no one could read what was on them

flies by Tapping its wings? This is not an
isolated case. | have run across dozens of
them. And, to my establishment | learned
that this same hard-headed business man
had put several thousand dollars into freak
company forrred to build an aeroplane that

couldn't be wrecked. Some day, perhaps,
such a machine will be built; but it will not
be an aeroplane.
There are thousands and thousands of
people in this country who think that,
because an aeroplane flies, it is capable of
doing anything a bird can do. Some of them
have learned enough to know that these ma
chimes do require a short preliminary run be-
fore they leave the ground but most per-
sons expect to see them give some sort of hop
or jump and soar perpendicularly into the
heavens.
ALTOONA, Pennsylvania, wanted an aero
plane for its celebration one Fourth of
July. secured the contract to furnish the
aviator, and visited the city to see that
adequate field was available. Several mem
bers of the committee took me to inspect
grounds, and then one of them said:
But YOU haven't seen the best one yet.
There is an ideal spot in the trolley park out
toward Holidaysburg. Let's get car and
go out there"
So go we did. We walked about half
mile from the car line through as beautiful a
wood as one would wish to see, and my guide
paused in little level clearing.
There you are!' he said waving his
hand to indicate the scant acre of ground.
Just what you have been looking for, you
see!"
He was so enthusiastic and so well pleased
with himself that | did not want to hurt his
feelings. Finally l explained as gently as
possible that an aerOplane ran along the
ground for about three hundred feet before
it even started to rise; that, when it did take
the air, ii did SO in long gradual incline of
between seven and ten Degrees and that,
once it was up, the engine was likely to stop
at any moment, and there must be plenty of
clear, smooth fields surrounding the starting
place, so that the aviator could glide along
another gradual angle until the machine
came to a stop lightly on the ground.

really fly"

they are both true.
1t was at a Chicago exhibition that the
first incident happened. There We're half
a dozen men in the air; but, to a man and
young woman standing next to me, the cen
ter of attraction was Lee Hammond, who
made prettier and more graceful flights,
without sensationalism, than any man |
know. The girl was asking questions, and as
usual Mr. Know 1t All was answering every
one of them with an easy air of nonchalance
that seems to fool the fair sex every time.
But | don't understand yet what it is
that makes the things go, said the girl.
Mr.. Know 1t All was the personification
of gracious1ess and patience. "You see
those little wheels under the machine, don't
youo"

town in the wilds of Kansas or Missouri. In
the audience of farmers there was just one
man who pretended to know something about
aeroplanes, and the questions he asked were
all designed to show the others that here was
an expert who could talk about the art with
the professional showmen themselves. Cy
waited for his opportunity, and at last it
came.
"Have you had much trouble with the en-
CINE stopping in the ARR asked the knowing
individual pompously.
"Bothers us all the time declared Cy.
Then he dropped his voice to confidential
stage whisper. 1--WE don't like to talk of
that to most people" he said; "but | can
see that you know something about the
game, so | know you will keep this conf
dcntial.' He pulled the individual nearer
and, bending close to his ear, declared, LAST
Monday three of our men went up for an
altitude record. Their engines stopped in
the air, and they haven't been able to get
down since. We have to send Mr.. Mars up
with food and supplies at daybreak every
morning, and naturally we keep that quiet.
But YOU come around tomorrow morning at
davbreak and you can see Mr.. Mars go up
to them"
That story hasn't much point to it, has it,
But the sequel has.
The next morning at daybreak the know
ing individual appeared on the ground to see
Mars take his supplies up to the stalled avia-

JOY IN A NAME

FUDGE ALTON B. PARKER sometimes
> forgets national politics long enough to tell
a rafting good story. One of his best is con-
corning young man named Du Bose who
took his lisping sweetheart on an automobile
joy ride. Passing an ancient, long unused
tollgate, he said:
1t is either a kiss or a squeeze"
ooh, Mr.. Du Both!" she modestly lisped.
And he did.
