Laying Something by for Future.

:
The general prosperity can only be
reflection of the prosperity of the
individual. and no individual is really
prosperous who is not laying aside
something for the future. The man
who makes $4,000 per year and
spends $4,000 is poorer than the man
who makes $1,000 and spends but 5000.

neighbor whisks by in an automobile.

his means who accumulates enough

No Cause to Fear.

A fisherman succeeded in stealing
a goose from a farmhouse by train
ing his fish-line along the ground in
sight of the goose. The goose, seeing
the worm, bit at it and got caught by
the hook. When caught, the man ran,
pulling the bird after him. The bird,
by Tapping her wings, alarmed the
farmers wife, who came out to the
gate, and, seeing the man running and
the goose following, she exclaimed:

On the shores Of Guantanamo bay.
Cuba. the Navy Department will have q
winter aviation camp. 1t has been de-
cided that the hydro-aeroplane liz the one
machine that Is practical for the navy to
use. and now that the compassionate
catapult designed by Capt. w. I. Cham
bers has proved a success, the naval
fiiers are ready to take up the work as
fast as the department can spare officers
for the detail.
The aviation camp Of the navy has been
for the past summer at Annapolis, Md.
There have been three aeroplanes in use
there, and the officers at the Naval Acad-
envy who wanted aviation instruction were
trained at a time when they could be
excused from their other duties. The
department was not willing to spare
many officers for the work, and most OF
those who received instruction had to be
enthusiastic enough to take 1t In their
spare time.
Under the provision for the winter camp
in Cuba, the collier Sterling will be Or
dered to Annapolis Monday to load the
aeroplanes and camp equipment for the
winter flying practice. She will sail about
Saturday OF the same week with Ensign
Chevalier and Lieut.. b. L. Smith in
charge OF her cargo.
Ideal for Practice.
hTe still water Of Guantanamo bay, it is
said, will make an ideal field for hydro
aeroplane practice. The machines will be
flown In connection with the winter exer-
cises of the fleet, and 1t is intended II
possible to equip several of the warships
with the compressed-air launching device
that has already been successfully tried
out at the Washington navy yard. The n.y.
ing will continue throughout the winter,
and 1t is thought q number Of the officers
Of the fleet will be able to qualify for
pilot licenses and Will be made familiar
with aeroplane engine practice.
The winter flying camp will be in

The army is preparing tentative speci-
fications for armored aeroplanes that if
fulfilled will be the first distinctively
military machines in America. This does
not mean. as many laymen may sup
pose that they will carry six-inch Krupp
armor and be capable Of withstanding
a six-inch shell. The one thing the
aviation scout has to dread is small army
volley fire, and what the authorities want
Is to protect the man and the motor from
the chance shot that will occasionally
find a machine even at q height of $500
feet and going at sixty miles an hour.
