A fur hsvl- made many experiment mi xum scale a tiiK" was reached when money wait absolutely necusmiry for tb'Ir c-nitlntinuve. But bow to ubtuln It wan the problem.

The Wrights' father was a retired minister who lived then on a farm. The boys took hint Into their confidence and explained the exact state of affairs. Unhesitatingly be sold his farm, which was his only means of support, and gave the money It brought to bl sons for use In tbelr undertakings. If the machine on which the brothers were then worklDg proved a failure It meant ruin tor the aged clergyman and bit family. But the boys laid out tbelr funds well and were enabled to tart modeling on a larger and more practicable scale.

Even at thla Juncture the aviators were not clear of difficulties. More money was wasted. Tills time It was tbelr sister, Hiss Katharine Wright woo came to the rescue. Without a demur she banded over to ber brothers, amid the protests and pitying commiseration of ber friends, all the laboriously hoarded money she bad earned ea a schoolteacher. -Chicago News.

Nemius -r Collapse "I have traveled for thirty years continually. I lost a great deal of Bleep, which together with constant worry left mc in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of, nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me.

Whenever I am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks.

There is nervous prostration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to do build up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. Its strengthening influence upon the nervous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured.

A story is going the rounds of an American heiress who invited a duke or a princp with an imposing title and debts to match to chase himself. Some bright girls are willing to learn by the experience of others. Some girls can see the point when it is illustrated with a diagram and copious footnotes. To the romantic young girl a prince looks like the real thing. He knows how to wear clothes that are not paid for and can hand out a line of small talk that would do credit to a ribbon salesman, but when it comes to bringing home a pay envelope on Saturday night he falls down like an amateur flying machine.

The fall styles in husbands are not running to dukes, and it is a hopeful sign. Worked Both Ways. "One cannot be too careful about marrying. This falling in love is all nonsense. A mau should pick his life partner with as much intelligence as he would select a horse or an automobile." "1 fear you will never marry." "Why not? Isn't that a common sense plan?" "Yes, but that kind of a girl might be as particular herself." Easy.

"Tell me what a man eata and I will tell you what be Is like." "Can you do It?" "Sure." "There's Jenkins, who eats free lunches." "Like a sponge." Rank Poison. "Poor Nick has been convicted of arson." "Vou don't say!" "Ves." Then be is really arson Nick." Kept Him Busy. "I bear Jones bus booked up with his girl." "Ves; be married In haste." "To repent at his leisure "He has had no leisure since." Way Behind. "Pa. Is the baseball season over?" "1 don't know.

Ask your mother." "Huh, she don't even know that it Is started." More Practical. "Will you love me always?" "Till the sun grows cold." "How about when the flat gets chilly?" No Discount. "Do you think her age is what she says it is'r" "Well, all of that." Uncertain. "When shall we get married?" "Tomorrow, or some other day that never comes." No. 712-Riddl.

'V Knights of the Garter. The Installation of King Manuel as a Knight of the Garter will make Mm tbe fourteenth of foreign monarch to bold an order which la said to "rank indisputably as tbe first In the world." Knlgbta of tbe Garter are numerous enough to be divided among themselves Into five groups. Tbe king belongs to and Indeed constitutes by himself tbe first group. Tbe queen has been made a lady of tbe Garter the only one. Then there are tbe crowned beads oJEurope; next, a group of royalties whom It may not be disrespectful to call of miscellaneous composition, headed by tbe Prince of Wales, who is, so to speak, an ex officio Knight of the Garter, and, lastly, the twenty-five knight companions, taken from the higher ranks of the peerage.

Among the thirteen rulers is the mikado of Japan, tbe only Asiatic sovereign In a Ust from which tbe late ruler of Turkey was notably absent and In which the queen of Holland, doubtless because she is a woman, has not been Included. London Tit-Bits. Checks For Sums In Centi. Tbe treasury has thought It worth while to make a formal statement to correct the Impression that there Is something new or oppressive In the law against tbe use of bank checks for less 'than $1 as money. The impression had gone abroad that it was recently made unlawful to draw checks for sums In cents and that the law would take effect with the penal code on Jan.

1. 1910. Tbe fact is that the penal code merely re-enacts a law forty-seven years old. It has no reference to the Issuing of small checks of any particular sum. What is forbidden is not tbe issuance of tbe checks, but the use of them as currency.

The object was to prevent substitution of bank checks for postage stamps when postage stamps were used by law for fractional currency. New York Times. Navies of the World. A report issued by the British navy department ou the Davies of tbe world gives Great Britain a tonnage, built and being built, of 1.871,000; France, 801.000; the United States. Germany.

Japan. 445.000; Russia. 320.000; Italy, and Austria. 143,000. The navy department excludes all vessels over twenty years old unless they have been rearmed and reconstructed since 1900 and also vessels authorized, but not actually begun.

Great Britain is credited with I having 53 battleships built and being i built of a tonnage of 887.000. the United States with 29 of a tonnage of France with 24 of a tonnage of 337,000. Germany with 28 of a tonnage of 354.000 and Japan with 13 of a tonnage of 191.000. Making an Autocrat. Orders have been given by the cstar that tbe little czarowitz is to be allowed to bave his own way in everything.

He is never to be contradicted nor punished because be is to get thoroughly used to the Idea that be is an autocrat and therefore born to rule, not to obey. Tbe consequence Is that this five-year-old tod, a pretty child, overflowing with health and good spirits, and so far very lovable, makes everybody, from his mother to the sailor who takes care of bim. do and say what be pleases. He rules the nurseries, though one of bis sisters Is nearly fourteen. The father, it appears, hopes his son may acquire the decision that he himself lacks.

Whether the plan will succeed time alone will show. Some Pumpkins. The annual display of pumpkins In front of a downtown restaurant is larger than usual this year, and the Inscriptions which puzzle the uninitiated because they are part of the rind are unusually clever. In answer to inquiry as to the yellow monsters It was said that the pumpkins came from a farm on the Hudson adjoining that of Alton B. Parker and that they ranged In weight from 100 to 200 pounds.

"About two weeks before they are harvested," said a waiter, "the Inscriptions are scratched on the rind, and In theripen-iDg process the letters become raised. Are they edible? Well, rather! Every giant is converted into pies, and there are no bad pumpkin pies." New York Tribune. SALE OF W. H. WILLIAMSON LANDS.
