FLEW INTO HISTORY.
PITY A SAD "ARISTOCRAT."
THE DAYS BEST W
PERSHINC AND GRATITUDE.
By Arthur Brisbane

The flight around the world is
over, and six young Americans will
live in history when everybody con-
nected with this Presidential cam
paign is completely forgotten.
History will forever record, if
only in two lines, the dates and
names connected with the first hu-
man flight around the world.
Birds did it long ago, but they
are only birds.
That the nation which invented
the flying machine should be the
first nation to send a flying ma
chine around the world seems ap-
propriate. More appropriate would
be adequate flying machine defense
for this country.
Mr.. Grenville L. Winthrop, pleas
antly described by the social re-
porter as wealthy, retired
banker, philanthropist and ARTS
TOCRAT," is under the care of
two doctors. His two daughters
1eloped. one with a chauffeur, the
other with a young electrician.
For a retired aristocrat" to re-
ceive such a blow is painful, but in
his sorrow there is warning and
comfort for other wealthy, retired
American artistocrats.
One of the daughters was thirty
one years of age; she and her sister,
twenty-four, had been kept Sc
Guided.
Beware how you keep daughters
too secluded, especially after thirty,
and MORE especially if they are
rich in their own right, as are
those two young women!
That's the warning.
The comfort is this: The VIM

-ired a~rlstocrat" belong, may find

on his head to the nails on his toes.
The writer has good cause to remem-
Der Myles, having nee insulted both
him and Mrs. Bennett by offering to
pay for a couple of days board and
lodging.
Ross Sheppard, cowboy and range
rider of many years, and known as
lone Of the best fellows in the Big
Horn Basin" was a conspicuous figure
in the crowd, his "roll" at the dis
posal of anybody who might be short
of ready cash.
Dave Dickie found time to lay aside
the cares of his banking, oil and live
stock interests, and spend the day
shaking hands with old-time friends,
for although Mr.. Dickie towers inch
es above the average of his fellows,
he clocks down" on nobody.
Dan Weller. a hail fellow well met,
who conducted the Weller hotel over
20 years ago, appeared as jolly as
ever, time having lightly laid his hand
upon him.
Mingling with the crowd, too, was
Dad" Nielsen, who, although now
located on Wood river, was one of
the earliest settlers in the upper part
of the Big Horn Basin. On Mr.. Neil
sens ranch, at the mouth of Owl
creek, was located the original town
of Thermopolis.
E. P. Bowman, among the oldest
citizens of Meeteetse in point of resi-
dence, was a whole reception commit
tee in himself, his sunny smile making
everybody feel as if in the bosom of
his W family.
CAP Mcguire and ED" Mcguire,
both as members of different commit
tees and citizens of M~eeteetse, acquit-
ted themselves in a manner worthy of
the splendid name of Mcguire.
One of the founders of the First
National Bank of M~eeteetse, and
long a rancher on Wood river, Harry
E. Cheeseman had many stories to
tell of former associates, many of
whom in recent years have Struck
the trail" and passed into that un-
known land where none return.
Are we forgetting Don Adams?
Not by a long shot. Rancher, dairy
man, road and bridge builder, pro-
prietor of the telephone line up the
Greybull-W Wood river valley, merchant
and postmaster at Sunshine, who does
not know Don?
OF course any event in the Greybull
valley without the presence of Eu-
gene Phelps would be like attempt
ing to play Hamlet without the mel
ancholy Dane.
Nor would the gathering be at all
complete without such well-known
stockmen as Henry Sayles and Mike
Donovan.
George Florida, well remembered
as a former member of the forest
service, was among the crowd with
his family, George having settled
down as n rancher and adopted the
ways of civilization.
At the risk of perpetrating a bull,
we'll say that Meeteetse is a big town
for its size. 1t boasts for instance of
two business institutions, the Nee
teetse Mercantile Co., and the Over
land hotel, which would do credit to
any city of 10000 in the land. At the
same time there is a refreshing alb
sence of that perennial pest and hum

DAILY, senior professor Of chemistry
in the University OF Liverpool, says
he can manufacture sugar out Of

That's how nature manufactures it
in plants, through the green leaves.
1t is a deep process, first making
formaldehyde of the carbon dioX-

violet light-a color invisible to u
eyes-to make the sugar.
If science can initiate plants on
