I GOODWIN'S WEEKLY 3 II rest the soles of its feet. Even the sea eagle, when . the gale hecoms too strong, returns, scream ing to its eyrie, to rest its exhausted great "wings, but what eyrie can this new bird of man's inven tion hope to reach when a gale comes on to lash the earth and rend the forests? In the enthusiasm for the aeroplane, we would not utter one discordant note, but simply record the doubts of a doubting Thomas. Automobiles and Other Things : rr-HE next excitement will probably be the au- ' J tomobile show. The automobile and its pos sibilities grow upon one the more he thinks J of it. Not the racing machine that puts in jeop- j ardy the lives of all on board and all "who are near, it when it is being speeded, but the practical machine which is to be when further simplified; when cheap wheels can be substituted for the 1 present expensive ones; when springs are In- j vented to reduce the jar of the impact of the wheels; when the price is reduced to the present i cost of a team and wagon; when in less expensive form, but with all the present adaptability to the road, it can be used to plow the farmer's fields, thrash his grain, run his harvester, and take the family to church on Sunday. Then the horse will be eliminated save for the rich and for cavalry and artillery service, and a large area of the earth which is now de voted to raising horse feed will be devoted to producing food for man. ' Good men tell of the blessed time in the fu ture when all men will be brothers a kind of an Order of Enoch, so far as good wishes and kindly thoughts are concerned; but really the automo bile presages the passing of the horse, and the boycott of the meat trust is a premonition of the day when men will live on fruit and breakfast foods, and the bulldog will have to depend upon toast and oatmeal. It will be a tough time for babies, for on the diet of those days the mothers will have no sustenance for them, and there will be no cows. We suspect the last resort will be to the honest goat, for he (and she) will then, as now, be able to digest anything from "a chew of tobacco to an oyster can, and will have claims upon humanity that no invention can put aside. We do not say we want to be here then, but sure ly it looks as though that time was coming. In Cuba SINCE Cuba has become entirely independent, some people predict that the inhabitants will revert back to all the manners and customs j of their forefathers. A contemporary combats this idea, and in proof cites the fact that the young men play baseball, using the English J phrases of pitcher, catcher, etc., and take also to roller skates. This is not conclusive proof. They still like chicken and bull fighting, do they not? They play a little monte at times, do they not? Have they not the same antipathy to a bath, and are they not yet so hospitable that they some times tie the family pig to the dining-room table? Do they not prefer a knife to a revolver? And if they have three days' food in the house, do they not prefer a bunch of cigarettes and a hammock to hard work? Would it not be more proper to say "resume" than to say "revert back?" Habits are slow to change, the more especially in coun tries where the people can live on what grows spontaneously and where they do not need clothing. William Iglehart WILLIAM 1GLEHEART died an Monday last. He had been a sufferer for years, for three months prior to his release, death had been an expected visitor every day. He was cheerful through it all and when a paroxysm passed, he planned what he would do when his health should be better. He was college trained, a fine scholar, a trained journalist, for many years, up to the last sale of the Herald, four months ago, ho controlled the business and dictated the policy of that jour nal and stamped his personality upon it. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, a Mason and member of many clubs and drew to him a wide circle of friends. All the time his arms were upheld by an accomplished and devoted wife, and who, since the spray from the dark river be gan to break upon his brow three months ago, has multiplied her ministrations with a solicitude and consecration to duty pathetic and beautiful to see. Her comfort and that of her children and brother must be that out of hopeless suffering, the final peace has come to him. The Groundhog A LOCAL slanderer has sought to cast imputa tions upon the intuitive wisdom of the renowned groundhog. Is no reputation safe? Did not the groundhog long ago build up for himself an exalted name as a weather forecaster? Did he not do it noiselessly as becomes genius that is sure of itself? He drew no salary, he asked no man to believe him; when he read in ine signs of earth and sky that there was to be forty more days of winter, did he complain that nis larder was empty as well as his stomach? Nol at all. He merely took another hitch in his belt and went into retirement again. What if comets blaze along the heavens and uncoil their flaming hair, what if planets and suns, nice tne stupid school boy, break down in their conjunc tions, what if floods sweep the earth and storms rage over land and sea, is the groundhog's heart to faint and be shaken out of its place?" Not at all. Secure in his wisdom and disciplined in his phil osophy, he rests content, indifferent alike to war ring elements and the words of opprobrium of de generate and envious men.
