A LONG Lost Cousin.

An old Chinese scholar came for
treatment to a hospital that was under
the charge of a certain DR.. Woods.
The doctor asked the new patient his
honorable lame. The old gentleman
replied that his unworthy name was
Ling and added that he desired to
know the doctors exalted name. With
a smile, the doctor said that his mean
name was Ling (Which is Chinese for
Woods).
Why exclaimed the Chinaman
with fervor. 1.-THE same name! Now ]
recall that in the Han dynasty (B. G..

Of our clan left China and were said
to have crossed over the great eastern
sea. They were never heard of again.

And greatly to the good doctors
amusement, he was greeted as one of
the family and cordially welcomed into
the clan OF Ling.-Youth's Companion.

Expert Describes Machines

TO CONQUER WINTERS ICE.
Routes In Alaska and Massachusetts
Could BE Covered In All Kinds Of
Weather With Aviation Service-Of-
ficiaIs Think q Tremendous Amount
Of Money Would Be Saved.

Aviators of the country are looking
with pleasure toward the scheme that
the United States proposes to conquer
the rigors of Massachusetts bay and
Ice imprisoned Alaska in order to get
the mails through to sections that are
usually isolated during the winter. The
postottice department has asked bids
FOR contracts and machines to carry
the mails in these sections.
If this plan proves successful it will
go far to determine the practical use of
aeroplanes in wartime, and the United
States is said to be utilizing this
scheme to determine the best kind of
air craft for use during conflicts.
Charles A. Wright of Riverton. N. j..
is the president of the Aviation league,
which trains young men to fly. He
is an enthusiast in aviation and re-
CARDS the proposed federal mai
scheme us a sane way to carry the
mails. but he takes issue with the fed.
eral bids In calling for aeropIanes OF
the description included in the pro.
posaIs.
Heavier Machines Needed.
This plan is workable" said Mr..
Wright. "but the government should at
least be prepared to spend IS a mile on
the experiment. However. to carry
such mails as Uncle Sam wishes the
government must construct heavier
machines than any that are in use in
this country.
"Only one machine was ever built in
this country that would fulfill the re-
quirements-the America, built by Rod
man Wanamaker to cross the Atlantic.
This machine has a carrying capacit!
of $500 pounds. which is 1900 in X
cess of that demanded by the govern
ment. The America cost $4,000 to
build. This makes the cost Of a suita
BILE machine alone three times as great
as the United States wishes to pay.
"The practical use of the aeroplane

them in this way just now. though in
the European war they are demon.

manner especially in being the men

the aeroplane offers a practical means

BUFFALO NICKEL INDIAN DEAD
Stricken with Pneumonia Iron Tail
Goes to Meet the Great
Spirit.

Iron Tail the Mighty, sage and In
dian chicftain, whose features adorn
the buffalo nickels, is dead.
Thousands of children and grown
ups who have been delighted with his
realistic Characterization of an "Injun
on the warpath" in the Buffalo Bill
Wild West shows will mourn his loss
as that OF friend. Nothing pleased
him more than to be surrounded by a
dozen or so paleface papooses, whom
he would tell of Clusters last fight and
other stories of wild frontier days.
The last wish of Chief Iron Tail
never was realized. Stricken with
pneumonia while performing in Phil
adelphia, the chieftain was taken to
St. Lukes Homeopathic hospital. He
refused to stay there and begged the
physicians to let him go home to his
squaw to die. She lives on the In
! dian reservation near Rushville, Neb.
The end came early at Fort Wayne,
Ind. The chief was lying in his berth
on the circus train. Suddenly he
gave a loud cry. Circus physicians
who had been attending him rushed
to his side.
