Benson gave her a quick look. How
many times he had wished he was not
her guardian! But Of course he was
TOO old, anyhow, and she could never
think of him that way.

Descent at $50 Miles Per Hour.

Lieut.. Weiss of the French army
was attempting to establish a height
record recently but unexpectedly
found his supply of oxygen virtually
exhausted. The Paris correspondent
of the Morning Post states that at the
moment he was at 5000 meters and
his only chance of safety was to nose
dive. For a certain number of seconds
he achieved a speed of 450 miles per
hour and actually trayersed 1900
yards of descent in thirty seconds.
The machine was injured as a result
of the strain and certain portions Of
the wings were torn off, while some
supports also We're broken before he
was able to latten out the machine
for landing.

Following the Wrong Car.

John and Paul, each in a roadster,
were visiting near a lake in Wiscon-
sin.
One evening they started for the
lake. Paul had about ten minutes
start. AT a turn in the road he lost
sight of John, but at another curve
caught sight of him again, and fol-
lowed as closely behind him as pos
sible.
After travelling about five miles
the car ahead stopped abruptly and
the driver jumped out. He came
back to Paul's car, and in an unpleas-
ant tone said: "Who are you and
what do you want? You have been
following me for some time. This
road leads to my owR summer home
and this is a private drive"

THINK 1T REAL SPEED PLANE
Baby Airship on the Way to France Is
Confidently Looked to to Break
Flying Records.

A little silver aluminum-colored mon
oplane is on it's way from Dayton, o.,
to New York to be shipped to France.
where, according to its recent trials
and performances, aerOnautical engi.
neers believe it will reyolutionize the
construction of speed planes.
1t is the Dayton-Wright RIB, espe-
cially designed as one of the three
American entries in the Gordon Ben
nett races in France, Sept. 81 to Oct.
3. The RIB m%onOplane measures only
221@ feet from wing tip to wing tip.
Its body is % feet long. The wings,
of rigid cantilever construction, are
made of three-ply veneer. When the
little plane is in flight the wheels and
entire landing gear are drawn up in
side the body.
A crank in the instrument board of
the machine enables the pilot after he
has left the ground to raise his wheels
and landing frame into the fuselage,
at the same time flattening out the
wing. The process requires from u
to 10 seconds.
The wing curve, which can be al
tered at will, enables the pilot to de-
crease the landing speed 20 miles an
hour and increase the racing speed il
the same ratio. 1t is believed the
plane can fly 200 miles an hour.
The machine has a Hall-Scott rae
ing engine of the Liberty Six 250-horse
power type. The efficiency of the mo,
tor is increased by using a special SYM
thetic fuel developed in the Dayton
Wright laboratories,

CHRISTMAS MAILS
 DELAYED ENROUTE

l According to telegraphic advices
 received from Seattle this week, the
 Brewer stage line, or the steamship
 companies operating between Cor
 dova and Puget sound, or both, made
 a miserable mess of carrying Interi-
 or Alaska Christmas packages to
 the States. The outgoing service
 during the month of December was
 worse, if possible, than the service
 northward, and is occasioning much
 complaint
 The advices state that six ship
 ments of mail which were despatch
 ed from Fairbanks on six different
 stages, reached Seattle on one boat, arriving there on January 5. The dates of departure from Fairbanks were December $. 8, 10, 13, Is, IT. Considerable improvement in the
 Northbound service was promised
 recently by the mail clerk at Cor dova, who announced that parcel post would begin going forward
 about the first of the year, indicat- ing that the congestion of other classes of mail at Cordova had been relieved. And it is possible that shipments have been made from the coast, but something is wrong en-
 route, since little of the accumula- tion of the early winter is reaching its destination. This is particularly true in the case of magazines, few of which have reached Interior AL
 aska subscribers thus far this win ter.

Saved My Life With Eatonic
Says New Jersey EV0s7ias1


 "I was nearly dead until l found Eatonic and I can truly say it saved my life. It is the best sto,uach medicine ever made," writes Nrs. Ella Smith.
 Acid stomach causes awful misery which Eatonic quickly gets rid of by taking up and carrying out the acidity and gases which prevent good digestion. A tablet taken after meals brings quick relief. Keeps the stom- ach healthy and helps to prevent the many ills so liable to arise from ex- cess acid. Don't suffer from stomach miseries when you can get big box of Eatonic for a trife with your druggists guarantee.

Among those arguments OF Lloyd

Thaz, simple comparison OF the
declarations OF the spokesman OF the

Western powers, after first giving
Poland encouragement to proceed,
qualified their assertions when po-

TWENTY YEARS AGO
Nobody But Indians 10 Celebrate Tho
Arrival of Steam Cars
In Osmulgce.

dKMuLGEE, okla. Aug. as
Twenty years ago Iuly 10, the first
railroad train made its way into
Okmulgees c, ]. Shields, justice OF
the peace, at that time running a
general store, recalls. Then set
tlement of about fifty white people,
Okmulgee awoke one morning to see
it's hills dotted with tents and teams
and men, many OF the settlers, Mr..
Shields sdys. believing an army en-
eamped at Its gates.
There were 2.SOO teams of horses
and mules In the camp, the advance
guard OF the grading crew of John
son Brothers & Taught OF Illinois.
Those 2.800 teams, Mr.. Shields re-
members, in one day carried athe
grade through Okmulgee and out Of
sight over the hills to the south. A
deep cut near Henryetta was the
last section finished, Mr.. Shields says
and the road chartered as the "okla-
homa and Southern" The rails con-
Meeting Sapulpa ana Oklahoma City
we're laid at the same timo by the
same contractors, which afterward
were turned over 20 the ST. Louis
and San Francisco railroad for the
sum OF 100000.
What sort Of a celebration did
you have when the first train came
in7", Judge Shields was asked.
Nothing" he snorted, there
wasn't anybody here to celebrate but
u bunch OF Sofka Indians and they
wouldn't have done nothin' but
grunted II you'd have come down
here with an airplane,"
Before the coming Of the railroad,
freight had been hauled TO Okmul-
gee in wagons for fifty years, y. X.
Morton, another old settler. narrates,
The first trading post was estab-
lished here in civil war days, or per-
haps before, he says. wagon freight
trains then running from Fort
Smith, Ark, 10 Okmulgee, or from
the landing at Fort Gibson. where
merchandise was brought up on
barges or boats.
Penetration of Indian Territory by
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
road in 1872 changed the principal
shipping point to Muskogee, Mr..
Morton went on. He said he had
often shipped carloads OF merchan-
disc to Muskogee and hauled over
.and from there, although some pre-
ferred Checotah as an unloading
point since the wagon haul was
shorter. Even with Muskogee the
larger terminal, Mr.. Morton says
much OF Okmulgee,s merchandise
was hauled from Fort Smith. The
river city was favored resort at
that time, "a journey to Fort Smith
then was like going to New York
now." he added.
