HOW IVAN CAME DOWN

ship of his own, and accepted them as promise. He therefore watched as every part of the machine was put in place, because he wished to be able 70 manage his own airship when he got it; and when he went home to linner, about 12:30, he expressed the opinion that he could build an airship f the folks would only give him some lumber and muslin.
 After meal that was gulped in about ten minutes, with a piece of pie in his hand to be eaten as he walked back, Ivan again made his way to the aviation ground. It seemed 70 his impatient soul that they were doing Q great deal of tinkering for ,ueh a simple machine as an airship, and he frankly told Willis Cobb so.
 'Pshaw" said that worthy. You wouldn't want to go up yourself un- ess you first looked over every piece n the machine very carefully"
 And Ivan reluctantly admitted that Willis was right.
 Finally, however, the engine was started, and as it popped for all the world like a battle, Willis said, the boys crowded around the machine until the marshal came and ordered ihem back. The aviator took his seat He strapped himself in. Gee, didn't snow they did that" Ivan exclaimed There was no reply. Willis and the other boys were too busy with their syes to exercise their tongues. The aviator made the engine so faster un- til it sounded like buzz. And see! The airship moves. It runs along the ground, faster and faster. The front wheel rises in the air. The hind wheels leave the earth. And now the machine is clear of the ground. A moment later it flies over the trees at the end of the aviation field. and scars aloft over the town.
 Many were the expressions of ad- miration, many were the excIamations of horror, as the machine glided high CT and higher until it showed like a bird against a great white cloud to the

his bed Yet the experience of going up 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 the power on; the sensa ion 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 a 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 d number of bombs which he could let drop at 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 seeing throngs waving hats and handker- chiefs he beheld men and women scampering to shelter Then there was a puff of smoke from the midst of little group of men. A moment later there came a singing and whiff of wind almost at his side. Ivan real lzed that he had been fired upon. He touched lever at his side. A bomb dropped and at the same moment, through shifting of the planes, he arose to a higher level. Downward he gazed, and the group of men below had disappeared. A moment he eXult- ed in his accurate aim; then the thought came that he had slain his fellow man. He had little time to consider the matter or analyze his

He Felt Himself Falling, His Machin east
 What if he should fall?" asked Willis.
 He would glide down just like a sled down 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 five miles. The fact is, part of Ivan had really gone up in the air. ship. His heart was certainly with it.
 After it was all 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. Tn 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

 This is our Rabbits body" said Mother. Here, put your hand on it and feel how firm and round it is."
 Then Mother took the long NOSE end and stretched it sidewise, so she could tie a knot, which made the RABBITS head, and the two little ends from the knot were fine ears when Mother stood them up. The other short end was the tail. "Oh, you cute thing" cried Mamie. 'I love you"

see the queer animals and birds - and reptiles from many foreign lands. And what time they did have! Nurse was most patient in ex- planning about the strange captives; and Jamie, who considered himself quite a little man, understood most of it. But little Jamie, of course, be- ing such tiny mite, did not. And yet she was perfectly content. for hadn't she her two great big, blue eyes with which to look-and look--and rook!
 So, leading each by the hand, Nurse took them around from one cage to the next. My, how fierce was the lion and how he did roar just when they were looking in at him. He frightened Jamie and he frightened Nurse but-would you believe it?-- little Jamie wasn't frightened at all; she, in fact, thought it most amusing and wanted him to roar some more.
 And the elephant Goodness me, what a whopper he was. Back and ft-right-back and forth his great trunk swung, and then curled up over his head or stretched straight out toward them. Jamie watched his opportunity and dropped a peanut in the queer little mouth at the end of it; and then the elephant folded up his trunk and carried the peanut to his mouth.
 They saw tigers and leopards and wild cats and-oh, yes, Jamie mistook them for cats and called out Fuss puss- puss- !''-and crocodiles and poll parrots and cranes and eagles and snakes and, oh ever so many different

Glancing back, he saw hostile airship climbing, apparently with the aim of rising above and drop ping bomb on him. Hurriedly shifting his planes his own craft shot upward. A moment later there was a crash. The two machines had collid- ed. He felt himself falling, his ma chine turning over and over in the air He knew he must alight and that would be the end of all things, so far as he was concerned. Was the glory of it worth tho price he must pay? Down, down, he tumbled, clutching, seeking to right the machine, in vain. Then he struck the earth.
 At least, he thought he did. In reality he alighted on the floor, after falling out of bed. The jar of it awakened his mother in the other room.
 Did my poor boy fall out of bed again?" she asked in sympathetic tones. Well, Ivan. you ought to be thankful that it was bed rather than an airship out of which you tumbled."
 And Ivan was.

 Ivan subsided. But he thought himself abused. To his mind there was nothing about all the amusements planned for the day that began. to compare in interest with the airship flight; and he did obtain permission to visit the aviation field. He not only paid the field a call but he hung around there most of the day. He watched the unpacking of the airship as it was hauled in, in sections. He watched the aviator and his assistant placing the machine together To his mind the aviator was a greater man than the president of the United States pr even the marshal of the day, who vas at that time riding about town with broad sash tied about his waist. Ivan remembered the words of his mother about some day having an air

A QUEER SENTENCE.

E ERE is a queer sentence for you N to study. It is "SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS.'' It is curious, because the first letter of each word, placed consecutively, spells the first word; the second letter of each word spells the second word, and so 10 the end. It spells the same words backwards as forwards. The last let Eers 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 end. And there are just as many ietters in each word as there are words in the sentence.

WILL HOLD MEETING HERE

The European war has nothing on
the Iowa Equal Suffrage Association
when ii comes to scouting service. A
number of women officially known as
organizers but in reality scouts, are
accommodating the Iowa counties that
are still unorganized for equal su-
rage.
These intrepid young women ar
rive in town; hold up the editor, and
squeeze him dry as sawdust. Any 9TH
err person suspected of carrying de-
sired information is put through the
same process They always call upon
half dozen or so women. Why?
The attitude of the women may lose
or carry the suffrage amendment next
spring, says Miss Mabel Lodge, Grand
Master Scout.
Miss Lodge has been reconnoiter-
ing in Audubon, Carroll and Greene
counties this week. She arranged
meetings at Audubon, Glidden and
Jefferson. The speakers who are
sent to cover these meetings will or.
ganize local clubs and complete ar.
rangements for reaching the sur.
rounding territory.
