PeriIs of the Air.

According to early report, two OF
the aeroplanes performing advance
scout duty for our troops in Mexico
have disappeared This did not imply
that they met destruction, for they
were later discovered with their avia'
tors uninjured.
It is true, however, that the dangers
attendant upon this new form of mill
tary service have not been overesti'
mated. In the British house of com
mons the statement was made last
week that the record of casualties in
the aerial fighting force, so far as
tabulated, showed the loss OF 405
killed, wounded and missing.
Most of the fatalities occurred In
active combat, and this is attributed
to the superiority of the German ma
chimes in capacity and equipment. But
of the total more than 100 had simply
disappeared, flown out of sight and
never missing" The perils
of the air are less furiously destruc-
tive than those of the battlefield, but
they have the thrill and the chill OF
mystery.

Women Used in Garrisons.

Women are now being employed IN
garrisons in France in the place OF
soldiers of the auxiliary service. The
experiment, just begun at the head
quarters of the Thirty-sixth infantry
at Caen, has proved SO successful that
the minister of war has suggested
that the commanders of other garri'
sons use the services of women wher'
ever it is possible. Thus the drafts
of the 1888 military class will be linn
tied. which will permit professional
men to continue to attend to their
regular duties and will give employ
ment to the widows, mothers ana
sisters of soldiers killed.
All the women used in the garri-
sons are to be classified under the d.
rection of various chiefs of the service
and will be placed according to their
qualifications.

Monotonous Introductions.

There is a remarkable monotony
about the openings of speeches in
the house of commons. On Wednes-
day 45 speeches (not counting BRIEF
efforts in the way of interjections)
were delivered, and in 80 cases the
speeches began with the first person
singular Only Is members could think
of anything more original One was
Mr.. Warwick Brookes, but even his
maiden speech began: "In rising to
say a few words, l should like" etc.
An analysis shows that II beg" was
used four times. So was Il should
like" 81 am sure" and Il wish" were
each the opening Of three members.
81 would like" Il think" and II de-
sire" had two each. Il hope" II do
not rise" 81 should not" Il want to
ask" 81 was hoping" 81 do not WISH"
Il have not" 81 associate myself" Il
agree" 81 am quite sure" and II ac-
knowledge" were each used once

WHERE WAS H0G-BITE?
MATTER SEEMED TO CALL FOR
SOME EXPLANATION
Bitter Complaint That "Moonshine"
Had Been Tempered With Reflect
ed Somewhat on PubIic-Spirit-
ed Watcher on Duty.

Moonshine whisky was being made
by someone somewhere in the neigh
borhood of Twin Fork creek Of the
Cumberland mountains in Kentucky,
but there was no more definite knowl-
edge than that-someone somewhere
in the neighborhood of Twin Fork.
1t was exceedingly good whisky, too.
None of your amber-colored ''store"
liquor which has been aged in charred
barrels until it has changed color. 1t
was what the mountaineer calls
mans whisky" white in color, as
clear as spring water And, accord
ing to mountain standards, it was DID,
The man who discovered the first jug
of it tasted it, and that night, telling
of it in the Twin Fork store, he an
nounced: AN she's old, boys; she's
downright plum old; l reckon that
liquor was made at least a month
ago."
The first jug had been found in a
hollow tree. Then the jug was empty
and beneath it was bright silver dol
lar. The finder did not disturb either
jug or money. Returning the next
morning, he found the jug, but there
was no money beneath it, and the jug
itself, instead of being empty, was
half filled with liquor. Half an hour
later, ON investigation, the jug had
disappeared.
Twin Fork is in a dry" county,
and there was a good deal of excite
ment. The hollow tree was watched
day and night by man stationed in
the crotch of big elm, but nothing
happened. Then half-gallon bottle
was found in cluster of bushes two
miles farther down Twin Forks. Be-
meath it was half a dollar in small
change, pennies, nickels and dimes.
1t was when a third jug was discov-
cred in some bushes halfway up
mountainside that Hog bite" Taylor
came out and announced his willing
ness to aid in experimenting the moon
sinner. Previously Hog bite" had
been declaring himself in favor of
little moonshining. The homemade
liquor, he declared, was better and
purer than the stuff bought from mail
order houses, and half again as cheap.
Why should a man be compelled to
order by mail and then wait several
days for an inferior article?
"Hog-bite's" proposal was simple.
He would, without pay, go out and
watch the newly discovered hiding
place and see if he could not catch
the moonshiner in the act of filling the
jug. So that he would not have to
neglect his post for supper, "Hog-bite"
took along package of chicken sand
wiches and jug of clear, cold water.
He would not have to leave the vi
cinity of the jug for even a drink. He
was to report next morning. Morn
ing came and no "Hog-bite." Nine
o'clock-ten oclock-eleven o'clock.
Somebody went out to investigate.
He found neither jug nor "Hog-bite."
Stuck on a twig of tree, however,
was a note, printed with lead pencil.
1t read:
Il don't object to nobody bein' left
to watch my jug Of liquor. But | OBJ
ject like - to the man what left to
watch it drinking half of it and filling
it I'D with water"

DON'TS FOR AUTOISTS.
A Few Rules for Preserving the Car
and for Safe Driving.

AT Knobloch, of Indianapolis, gives
a series of "Don'ts" for automobile
drivers. They are as follows:
Don't put oil in the engine with
out first making sure that it is free
from dirt and lint.
Don't race the engine when it is
not drawing the car. There is nc
worse abuse.
Don't neglect to keep the radiator
filled with water. Also use good
anti-freeze solution in cold weather
Don't neglect your tires, use the
pressure guage and maintain be-
tween 70 and 80 pounds pressure.
Don't fail to inspect the level OF
LIQUID in the storage battery every
two weeks.
Don't drive with your feet on the
clutch or brake pedals.
Don't let your car stand with head,
light full on. 1t is unnecessary and
it runs your battery down.
Don't drive fast on slippery streets
Don't drive with fully retarded
spark.
Don't start motor with wide open
throttle or advanced spark.
Don't neglect the fabrication OF
tnh
guage.
Don't drive fast around turns OF
over rough roads.
Don't apply brakes suddenly, ex'
cept in cases of emergency.
Don't attempt to shift into reverse
gear when going ahead.
Don't allow your clutch to engage
suddenly.
Don't drive on crowded thorough
fares. until you thoroughly master
the operation and driving of your
car.
Don't attempt to start motor with
any of the transmission gears in
mesh. Have gear shift lever in neu.
trail.
Don't leave your ignition switch
"on" when the motor is not running
Don't tamper with your carburetol
unless you know it is out of adjust.
ment, and not even then unless you
know just what you are doing.
Don't fail to tighten up spring cliI
nuts at end of 500 or 1,000'miles.
Don't fail to tighten up all body
bolts at end of every 500 to 1000
miles.

How Teddy Felt About 1t.

Here's Teddy's views on the "vic-
tory" according to the New York
World:
Oyster Bay, n. Y, Nov. 7.-Beam-
ing with pleasure, Col. Roosevelt to-
night in his home at Sycamore Hill
joyfully discussed the election re-
turns and had the following to say:
"In view of the latest returns I
have received it appears Mr.. Hughes
is elected. l wish to express my pro-
found gratitude as an American
proud of his country. That the
American people have repudiated the
man who coined the phrase about
this country that it is ''Too Proud to
Fight and whose administration had
done so much to relax the fibre of the
American conscience and to dull the
sense of honorable obligations in the
American people.
1--WE are all of us sincerely to be
congratulated on the victory of Mr..
Hughes. Let me add, in view of GER
tain letters and kilograms which al
ready have begun to come in to me,
that I will not make any recommen-
dations to Mr.. Hughes for appoint
ments, nor any requests about legis-
lation.''
Col. Roosevelt waiting for the re-
turns passed the evening at home
with Mrs. Roosevelt. There we're
no visitors.

The Horse Not Extinct.

Prophecies are always interesting
but often fail of fuliliment. Long
range prophecies are the safer, and
the greater the range, the more con-
fidently may be stated the particu-
lar prediction of the moment.
This is suggested by the present
high value of the farm horse which,
according to a long range prophecy
made upon the advent of the automo-
bile, should now be a drag upon the
market. The reverse is true, so an
other prophecy has failed of fulfill
ment and another prophet is classed
amongst those without honor. The
automobile is now almost universal
promises soon to be universal. The
automobile plow is fast extending it's
sphere. With increased simplicity of
construction and lowering of cost,
the farm tractor will eventually rank
with it's city cousin, the motor car,
as competitor of mans most faith
full and efficient friend-the horse.
But in spite of the number of, city
cars and in spite of the fast increas-
ing number of farm tractors, the
horse is still here, and to venture a
long prophecy will always be here.
No matter how luxurious in appoint
ment the automobile manufacturer
may make his motor car; no matter
how simple and how efficient the
farm tractor may become, the horse
is not doomed to be classed with pre-
historic animals but will continue to
aid man in his struggle towards
things that are better.
The horse and man have been
identified since time began, and the
centaurs roamed the mountains of
Thessaly. In that mythical half
horse and half man race is found the
symbol of their identity. Since those
days man has advanced far but al
ways his faithful friend kept pace
with him. The horse has drawn the
plough and without him the worlds
harvest would not have been. He
is charged with his master into the
hells Of battlefelds and has offered
his life as a sacrifice without muir
muir.
The horse is as courageous as his
master, as affectionate as a woman,
as faithful as a child. The motor
car has not driven him from the
hearts or the streets of the city.
Neither will the automobile plow
drive him from the pleasant fields of
the country and as long as man re-
mains on earth, so long will the
horse remain with him.-Asheville
Citizen.

Supplies in Special Demand in South
America.

Supplies in Special Demand in South
America.
Europe, prior to the war, was a
large buyer of American apples and
pears, writes w. E. Aughinbaugh, in
Leslie's. This market is closed now,
but there are excellent opportunities
for our farmers to dispose of these
fruits in Latin-American markets, es-
pecially Brazil, Uruguay and Argen-
tine. These countries were former
ly large purchasers from Australia
and New Zealand fruit growers, but
owing to the scarcity of ships can
not obtain their supplies. Argentine
and Brazil alone consume about l.
100000 boxes of apples yearly, and
about 100000 boxes of pears. We
have refrigerator ships from New
York to the ports of Rio de Janeiro,
Montivideo and Buenos Aires, and l
suggest that fruit farmers consider
these markets in which to dispose of
their crop. Goods can be sold at the
docks in the above named towns. Po-
tatoes, cabbage, beets, turnips,
onions and the harder vegetables
are also required in these countries,
the demands formerly being supplied
by Holland and Germany.
One of the largest wholesale
houses in Buenos Aires has its buyer
here who is desirous of purchasing
cottons, woolens, dry goods and toilet
preparations. This concern has sew
en- travellers who cover the entire
Argentine and Uruguay.
