Lost Art Of WALKING.

1t Is all very we'll for 10000 fans to
cheer the physical prowess of a
Smoky Joe Wood or Rube Mar
guard. But it would be more impor-
tant to know how many of these 40,-
900 can throw ball home from cen
ter field themselves, declares a writer
in the American Magazine. 1t is all
very we'll TO have trolleys and motors
which make Accommodation easy
between distant points. But 1t would
be more important TO know In how
many cases any useful purpose what
ever is served by going from one to
the other and back again, except the
temporary satisfaction Of vague ner-
vous desire for change; and still more
important to know who would have
lie viii power and the leg power to
set there If he had to walk. Walking
requires and develops both. 1t is good
for the body and good for the soul,
and to all true lovers of the open
road and the manifold pictorial beau
ties of our countryside 1t is the only
form Of locOmotion. The time will
yet come when we shall walk again.
1t is our fate. After all, we were
born with legs. not cylinders.

WORKS ON AUTOMATIC PLAN
ingenious Idea for Electric Light Is
Economic and in Every Way
Satisfactory.

An automatic electric lighting plant,
designed for private house use. is
mounted on two cross Orders for con-
yenient portability. and comprises an
oil engine, dynamo, automatic start
ing switch and water tank.
The small battery also supplied has
a capacity much below that OF the
charging plant. The apparatus is SO
designed that while the battery Is
charged and not at work the engine is
at rest. and it continues at rest while
the lamps turned on are being fed suf
ticiently by the stored current.
But when the battery voltage falls
below certain point the automatic
switch sets the machinery in motion.
The starting current-quickly cut OF
by time-limit circuit breaker-turns
the dynamo, and this starts the en-
CINE, which runs as long as needed
When the lessened use Of current
permits the battery to become suffi-
GENTLY charged the switch stops the
engine.

PRISONER ESCAPE
THROUGH SEWER

Fort Smith, Aug. 1.-The sensation
al prison escape at the government
pemtentiary at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan year ago was duplicated to
some extent here yesterday by Eugene
Hart, who made his getaway after
passing through more than two miles
Of sewer
Hart, convicted in police court Mon
day for fitting the Sunday lid, was a
member of a street chain gang.
Although wearing a shackle, he
out-distanced a guard and jumped into
sewer manhole as the guard emptied
revolver at him. For nearly quar-
ter of a mile Hart squeezed through
an 18-inch sewer, which leads into a
6ve-foot sewer that empties into the
Arkansas river. He was seen by
campers as he emerged from the
mouth of the swer The campers did
aot know of his escape.

TEACH THEM GOOD MANNERS
Chicago Children Are to Take
Course Of instruction from the
0entle Schoolma'am.

Mrs. Ella F'Iagg Young announces
that hereafter the teaching OF good
manners will have a place in the cur
riculum of the Chicago public schools.
No one should object to having the
children learn their manners, and
the schoolma ans ought to help the
parents, or, where parental ms truction
and example are lacking. ought to in
still the germ of gentility and polite
ness into the minds OF the youngsters,
but why put 1t into the curriculum
which already in the average public
school Is crowded to such an extent
that it overreaches the time limit
with home study and cuts down the
essentials OF instruction TO an unde-
sirable minimum? asks the Philadei.
phia Bulletin.
To be sure, some graduates Of the
old-fashioned public schools have been
known to feed themselves with their
table knives. have shown a lack of
familiarity with finger bowls. and 9TH
erwise have betrayed ignorance of all
the requirements Of the code OF polite
society. but In the majority OF cases
they have accounted their school time
quite as well spent as II they had de-
voted stated number Of hours a
week to coming the pages of book
OF etiquette. In most communities
there Is a generally accepted belief
that men and women who qualify as
school teachers are by nature or
breeding possessed of such manners
as instinctively. by example or per-
sonal precept, to suggest the gentle
art Of society, and only the occasional
incorrigible among their pupils evil
dences need for course" in man
ners. But Chicago may be different.
Mrs. Young ought to know, and if the
boys have been putting their feet on
the desks and the girls have been
chewing gum in public and cleaning
their teeth with hairpns and hatpins
they surely should be corrected. even

Humanity Far From Perfect.

When one becomes so wise and
worldly that she looks for deceit in

Humanity is far from perfect. How

The Angels seemed to warm up to
Lohmans offerings. In the third
frame Page was safe on Cooks error,
when he did a juggling stunt. Wottell
