 The remembrance. however. of yesterdays fine catch which 50 pleas cd MT. Coolidge that he returned late in the evening for moro angling, was uppermost in his mind and should the opportunity present itself three was to be another expedition 10 the rock laden mountain stream which already has yielded generously to tho presidential fishing rod.
 Good Fisherman
 The president returned to the stream as evening fell. with Mrs. Coolidge and she stood by admiring the skill with which he landed enough brook trout for good sized breakfast.
 This catch. furthermore, helped Mrs. Coolidge make decision 50 far as her own recreation Is concerned. She vetoed proposal that she ac- company the president on one of his hshing expeditions, declaring that one fisherman of such adeptness was sufficient for family. She hopes to set out soon for some mountain climbing and in the stables near the summer White House a splendid rid ing horse named Senator. has been reserved for her.

Nature Prodigal in
Gifts to the Great

The great man has usually looked
the part. Lowell said Of Emerson that
there was a majesty about him be-
yond all the men have ever known"
Washington impressed those about him
as being no ordinary man, and DR..
James Thatcher said 1.-THE strength
and proportion Of his joints and mus
cles appeared to be commensurate
with the pre-eminent powers Of his
mind" Goethe was ukened in his
youth to an Apollo, and the ply
sician Hufeland declared that never
had he met with a man In whom
bodily and mental organization were
so perfect Tennyson was "one Of
the finest looking men in the world"
Wordsworth was, according to the art
list Hayden, "of very fine heroic pro-
portions" Southey looked an ideal
poet, Byron was as beautiful as his
verse and was likened to 'the god Of
the Vatican, the Apollo Belvidere."
Leonardo da Vinci had a figure Of
beautiful proportions and noble and
engaging p.esence. Walter Scott was
eminently handsome, "much above the
usual standard" and least in the
mold of young Hercules" with q
fresh and brilliant complexion and
a countenance of great dignity

Men Sought Means of
Flying Centuries Ago

Flying in motor-driven airplanes had
Its birth December IT, 1903, on the
sand hills near Kitty Hawk, n. c.,
when Wilbur and Orville Wright
achieved the first authenticated flight
in heavier.than-air machine, but fly
ing was in the minds of men centuries
before that
The story of mans longing to fly
comes down in hundreds of legends,
mixed with fact, about individuals who
few and those who tried it and died.
Probably the original flying legend is
the Greek story about Daedalus, who
made a pair of wings with which he
flew, and his son, Icarus, who took
them out one day and came to grief
when he got so near the sun that the
wax wings melted.
Giovanni Baptist Danti, late In
400, is said to have flown across the
Piazza of Perugia, Italy, in what seems
to have been an authentic glider. 1t
was about this time that Leonardo da
Vinci began to study the possibilities
of flight from the scientific angle and
made a helicopter of paper, wire and
springs that really lifted itself. Fol-
lowing this there were numerous ex-
periments with gliders, some of them
successful, but not until 1908 did the
motor-driven plane conquer the air.

Neuu Zealonder Proud
of His Ndfiue Land

AS soon as you arrive in Auckland,
New Zealand, you feel the peculiar
character of this most original Of
dominions: blissful land where the
100000 British settlers-for the 9TH
er nationalities form only small and
transient groups-are producing and
exporting precious raw materials and
engaging in sports of every conceiv-
able kind, which they pursue with in
credible verve and enthusiasm.
They are also fully convinced Of
their superiority to the rest of man
kind and Of the unique privilege they
enjoy In living in these islands. They
have their reasons down pat.
We must not smile at the question
naire to be filed before disembarking
In New Zealand. In it you must
promise before the Almighty to be
good, to observe strictly the wise laws
of the land, and, finally, to remember
that the experience of spending even
q brief period of your existence in
these islands is something to be proud
of for the rest Of your life.
On making inquiries 1 learned that
there is little unemployment-not
to be sure, because there is no work,
but because the English inhabitants
prefer to leave hard labor to people Of
other nationalities. The several hun
dred Italians here all find good en-
ployment in building railroads-Ar-

Historians Skip Many
Matters of Interest

An American history written in the
old-fashioned way would never men
ton the rise of the motion picture d.
version. The kind of histories to which
we have been accustomed don't ap-
pear to be in the least interested in
the ordinary life of the people, which
is as much history as taking a fort
or carrying an election, writer in
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat asserts
Between wars there is almost a
blank interregnum; and-from the his
tory-you would never know that a
book had been written, picture paint
ed or a machine Invented. We once
knew a school history of the United
States that did not mention the COM
ing of the railroad; but every Indian
chieftain from Massasoit to Sitting
Bull was personalized.
These strange silences Of formal his
tory leave us to the historical novels
for our general information of the
times - the clothing our ancestors

faiths, their literature, their customs

Big Feet Caused Downfall

Difficulty in obtaining a pair Of
boots large enough for his feet led
to the downfall of Rocky Whelan, once
notorious bushranger of Tasmania.
Rocky worked alone and had a nasty
habit of shooting wayfarers in the
back. He acquired his wardrobe by
the simple process of taking whatever
articles of clothing he needed from
his victims. But he had very large
feet and was unable to get a fit in
his usual manner. So he went into
bootmaker's shop to buy pair A
constable who had seen him in an
other part of the country spotted him
as he entered the shop and followed,
effecting capture just as the outlaw
was trying on a pair of boots. Whelan
was executed few days later on the
gallows.-Sydney Bulletin.

Heoven as a Republic

DR.. James Madison, second cousin
of the President of the United States
of that name, was elected president
of William and Mary College when he
was only twentyeight years old. 1t
was necessary, before he could assume
office, to suspend statute requiring
that the head of the institution be not
less than thirty years old. The young
college president, who was ordained
in the Episcopal ministry in 1775, was
an ardent believer in the republican
form of government. 1t is said that
in his sermons he never would speak
of heaven as q kingdom. He would
always refer to 1t as the great repub-
lie where there is no distinction Of
rank, and where all men are free and
equal" -Pathfnder Magazine.
