HOW IVAN CAME DOWN

his bed. Yet the experience OF gong
IN and soaring was as real to him as
though thousands had watched him
as they had watched the aviator IN
the afternoon. Long afterward Ivan
could remember just how he felt when
he had buckled himself in the seat
and turned tbs power on; the sensa-
ton as the front wheels left the
ground; his feelings when he found
himself soaring over the trees and
heard shouts of the onlookers. His
memory Of the dream was just as real
as would have been the memory Of
genuine flight.
But while Ivan was up in the air"
something strange happened. He
found himself flying over the trenches
in Europe AT his side there were q
number of bombs which he could let
drop at a touch Just how the air
ship had been transferred from the
peaceful Booster town in America to
the scene of battle across the Atlantic
Ivan could not make out then and
even to the present cannot understand;
but it had been done. How the trim
flyer in which he had made his ascent
was changed into a heavier craft.
armored and offensive Ivan could not
explain, but the fact remained that
the feat had been accomplished. He
gazed downward. and instead Of seems
throngs waving hats and handker-
chiefs he beheId men and women
scamperng to shelter Then there
was a puff OF smoke from the midst
of q little group of men. A momen:
later there came singing and a Whit
of wind almost at his side. Ivan real
lied that he had been fred upon. He
touched lever at his side. A bomb
dropped and at the same momen',
through a shifting Of the planes. he
arose to a higher level downward he
gazed, and the group of men below
had disappeared. a moment he eXuit-
I'd in his accurate aim; then the
thought came tnat he had slain his
fellow man. He had little time TO
consider the matter or analyze his

lie would glide down just like a
sled down a hill, He couldn't fall out
Of the machine. cause he's tied" Ivan
managed to say this much, then re-
lapsed into silence as he watched
every evolution of the airship and
estimated the distance from the earth
at anything from two hundred feet
to Ave miles. The fact is, part Of
Ivan had really gone up in the air
ship, His heart was certainly with it.
After ii was ali over, Ivan was
enthusiastic in his conversation about
it. He talked so rapidly that his sister
accused him of tripping up over his
own tongue. But he felt he was not
appreciated and relapsed into silence.
In his mental vision, however, he saw
the aerial wonder over and over. soar
ing and gliding. rising and falling
starting and alighting, hour after hour,
even to the time he was forced to go
to bed.
And when Ivan went TO sleep he
really made an ascension in an air
ship. OF course, he was still lying in

Later when Nurse had left them a

taking jamie by the hand, he hurried
over 10 the railing fer closer view

Of IT. And then he happened to catch

\ QUEER SENTENCE.

n ERE IS queer sentence for you
m 10 study. II is "SATOR AREPO
~ TENET OPERA ROTAs." II is
curious. because the first letter Of each
word, placed consecuuveIs, spells the
first word; the second letter Of each
word spells the second word. and SO
to the end. 1t spells the same words
back wards as forwards. The last let
ters read backwards spell the FIRST
word; the next to the last read back
ward spell the second word, and the
middle word spells the same from
each enc. And there are just as mary
letters in each word as there are
words In the sentence.

TRIBUTE TO Ex-LINCOLNITE
Is Paid In Glowing Terms By Prom
inent St. Louis Trade Journal.

A recent issue OIL Cne SC. LOUIS
Commercial News and Labor Gazette
in a write-up of business men of
prominence in the south, paid a glow
ing tribute to former Lincoln
county young man, Eugene Gooch. Il
son of Mr.. Hunley Gooch, of near
Waynesburg, which will be of inter
est to his many friends "bacH home"
MIR. Gooch is the president OF :he
Consumers Lumber Company, IF
Belzori, Mississippi. The ST. Lou;s
PAPER said Of him.
"His mentality has vigo:, strength
and activity.
His perception of any subject in
which he is interested is clear and of
exact measurment.
He has the faculty of proportion
ing mankind as he meets them. His
knowledge of the inner thought tend
ency and object of the person, with
whom he deals, gives him the pow
er he so readily exercises.
1t is leverage in business transac-
tions with which he removes o.
stacles and seeming difficulties.
He can conceal his own thought
without giving expression to it in
face or act, but when he speaks it is
to the point, definite and decisive.
His mental force is studied fair
dealing and the wisdom of minding
his own affairs.
He is not trespasser upon igno-
rance, but enjoys keen intellectual
opposition.
His business enterprises are men
tally built with the skill of an artist.
He has not inclination to build
others failures, nor disposition to
interfere with others projects.
So it comes to pass that he acts ac-
cording to the cloth he has in hand
He has the quickness of the pro-
pressive man and is alive with the
spirit of the times. And while he is
one of the ''men of Glass;" his &C
tons talk and general characteristics
bespeak him as man of the people.
Quick in his judgment of men and
the affairs of men, he is usually ac-
curate in his convictions.
He believes in the enjoyment of
all that come honestly to him, and if
it be a bright, cheerful day he does
not denounce it as a weather breed
er."
His disposition is hopeful, which is
the encouragement of success, and he
knows that a gloomy, fretful, de-
pressed man is always failure.
He holds with tenacity to project
that is commended to his judgment.
not by simply believing in it, but
with active energy to carry it to
successful conclusion.
He rightly believes that steam puts
the engine in motion and also that in
tellectual steam gives life to business
operations.
In all he is plain, strong, depend
able sort of a man, who has that in
definable something called personal
magnetism that draws men to him.
Such are the mental combinations
and the physical forces that make
men strong and successful. Were it
not for them the world would become
lazy, ineffective, useless. With them
the wheels of commerce and trade
move swiftly round the bright waters
of life never become stagnant, and
exertion leads up to higher and bet
ter things.
