Telephones : EdKorlalt B:6> WHEN WE ALL FLY Tf tlio airship really becomes a practical, every day means of travel it will revolutionize our life as greatly as did the railroad 7.*> years ago. ( Our way of getting about was changed mainly as to Speed when the bicycle and motorcycle were added to the horse, and the railroad and the automobile were added to the coach and carriage. The steamship is just an im provement over the sail-ship. We still leave our houses by the front door, travel a certain line route to another front door, as we did at the dawn of civilization. The BOlid earth has always been beneath us, and the green fields on both sides. But Hying is not the extension of a known line of progress, ;i> all other improvements in transportation have been. It is an entirely new line. The only record wo have of living in history is the stunt of Daedalus, the Greek sculptor, who pasted wings on the arms of himself and son Icarus to make their getaway from their boss. King Minos of Crete. Daedalus got to Italy all right, but Icarus flew too high, as mortals had a way of doing, and the jealous sun god melted his wings. And this may not be true history. Sine it is an altogether new line of progress, we have no way of knowing that the airship is to become a prac tical necessity, and not dangerous luxury. But if it does become an everyday affair, it will make some startling changes in our daily living. It will abolish fixed routes of travel, and make every atom of air a public highway. Like the wind, we will j Wander where we list. We will often enter our houses from on top. At least part of the roofs of new buildings we build ought to be flat, in anticipation of the new manner of receiving callers. Roof gardens will probably lw common to all pretentious houses, and we will work hard to make our roof door and roof stairs handsome. Our back yards will be as plainly in view as our front lawns; our kitchen porches as visible to visitors as our verandas; our stables and sheds as evident as our gates; our alloys as public as our streets. Shall we be willing to look down from airships upon a cluttered-up back door, ramshackle outbuildings, uncover ed garbage, ash and tin can receptacles, or waste scattered about because there are no receptacles at all:' Prom our heights in the free air the ugly backyard fence- that divide .what might be a park-like garden into narrow aud barren back yards, will seem pitiably potty. There are some people who are gleeful because they think the airship will abolish war. But shall we admit our will-weakness and wait for a machine to stop us from murdering each other, and com pel us to tear down our fences and clean up our back doors ? EN MINUTES IN LAMP OF STOHIES BY HAROLD CARTER. j if Count PheUm O'Shaughnessy j was color blind, as report said, he could at least distinguish very well a blonde from a brunette among! the court beauties of Uuis XVI at Versailles. Perhaps, rather, it was a mental blindness that ob-; Beared his vision, in common with, that of the gay courtiehrs, so that none of them foresaw the ap- ( preaching storm which was to sweep king, lords and state into the vortex of revolution. When the mob stormed the has-; tile l.ouis remained supine, though the count, one of the international officers of his faithful Swiss Guard, offered to lead a hundred men and subdue all Paris. Later, grown more bold, the rioters ad vanced upon Versailles itself, and. even while Umis feasted in his red chamber demanded that he accept the popular demands. The> gathered before the palace wall*. Milder the windows, a howl ing multitude, each wearing the red liberty cap. demanding that he jilace the bloody cockade in his own hat in token of submission. And. disregarding the protests of his bodyguard. Jxmis obeyed. Wearing the emblem of revolution, he appeared upon a balcony amid uproarious shouts. Emboldened by this victory an 1 armed mob swept in the palace precincts, the Swiss Guard retreat ing before them, for, with Umis a prisoner, they were demoralized and knew not whither to turn. Soon the) were hemmed alone in their quarters. "Accept the cockade or perish, the revolutionists shouted. And one by one. the leaders of the guard surrendered. All but one. In an upper chain ber the Count OShaughiiess\ re pulsed the proffered emblem, which his aged Irish valet, in tears, begged him to wear. "I will go to my death wearing the smiiboi of the Emerald isle," he cried Fetch me a baldrics of green." The mob was approaching: one door withstood them. They were aearching for the count: they abouted that he should don the revolutionary sign or die. The valet wrung his hands despair ingly Adjacent was a little chamber Of the king, whither he was wont to retire when weary of his cour tiers. The count aud valet paused upon the threshold. Olive colored curtains hung before the windows, obscuring the sunlight with their heavy shade. They were not of the Irish green, but near enough. "Sir. air." stammered the valet, "I shall make you a baldrlck of these curtains then?" The count looked at him fierce!) "The king baa abdicated." he THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1910. HE STOOD THERE, HIS WEA- PON IN IHS HAM). cried. "My honor —shall that count for nothing? Cut me two slices and let Louis say what he will." And. drawing his sword, he sliced two strips from the heavy velour. and forming them into two revolutionary rosettes, In bitter mockery, he pinned them to his hat Then, having adjusted his clothing, he strode to the door, which was already yielding before the battering rams of the revolu tionists. Of a sudden he drew the heavy iron bolts in their sockets and stood before the attackers. The corridor was half In gloom. Shouts and imprecations were hurled at him. For a moment no body stirred, all appalled by the count's stalwart figure as he stood there, his weapon in his hand. Then there was a concerted rush. He spitted one. two—his sword was broken, the hilt torn from his fingers, the mob had got him down. "To the trees' To the trees!' they cried, and dragged him down the corridor outside into the sun light. Upon the palace threshold he regained hi* feel for a moment, shaking off his captors as a dog shakes away water. Then suddenly an uproarious shout went up, and In an Instant his enemies were abased around him, while the mob shouted de lightedly. The count turned to the man nearest. • What is this change"" he asked, i bewildered. "Citizen, we congratulate you. the fellow shouted. "Why didn't you shout that you were wearing two red cockadeß?" KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Blame Thayer, age 11, son of Deputy Sher iff Charles Thayer, hangs himself when reported for refusing to take a music lesson. Entered at Spokane, .Wash , as Second Class Matter Some motormen and conductors in Columbus, Ohio, felt that before dividends on watered stock were raised there should be a little readjustment of wages. The leading citizens who run the banking end of the street car company thought different. So the men struck. Then United States Senator Dick asked to be allowed to command the militia which was called out. His plea was granted by the governor. Dick opened headquarters at once in a big hotel and here is his outfit and the cost: Major General Dick gets $22.22 a day; two brigadier generals, $16.67 each; 22 colonels, $11.11; IS lieutenant colonels, $9.72; 30 majors. $8.33; 100 captains, $6.67; 90 first lieutenants, $5.52; 75 second lieutenants, $4.72, and 3000 privates, $2 each; a total of $7,642.34 a day. Wouldn't that amount of money expended in the inter ests of peace and justice instead of for gold lace and gun powder go a lot further toward settling the strike?
