PUZZLE OF THE AIR.
Changing Currant* Shown by the Ac
tion of Birds In Flight.
The average persou regards nlr much
as he regards water? as uiuch lighter,
of course, but like It otherwise. Calm
air Is precisely to him as calm water
In a pool. If there Is a wlud he pic
tures the air as a flowing river. And
just so long as all men looked at it so.
Just so long the birds kept their mo
nopoly. for the only state in which
water approaches the condition of air
is when water forms a maelstrom.
Even then water In its wildest turbu
lence falls far short of the unstable. In
cessant agitation of the atmosphere.
Air is never still. It is tilled with
warm waves ascending, cold waves
descending, and through it nice cross
shoots and diagonal shoots, with cork
screw whirlwinds wandering hither
: and yon as they list. The warm air
? off a cornfield creates one kind of a
disturbance; off plowed land It ere- j
ates another. A layer of cold air may
hold down a layer of warmer air. j
Consider what happens when the j
warm air breuks through Its envelope j
as a mill pond bursts its dam. A flow- |
lug stream churned to and fro and !
round and round and up nnd down !
would give a feeble Idea of the air's
inconstancy.
Now. a bird, circling with fixed \
wings, floats on a rising column of
air. It maintains Its altitude as to the j
earth, but it is constantly coasting j
down through the air's ascending vol- i
ume. Once the bird loses the air col- !
umn it has to flap Its wings, and It i
flaps till it flnds another column, when
It goes on wheeling again with fixed
wings. Moreover, when It flies the
wind comes townrd it in waves, rising
and falling like the billows of the sea.
It meets them, and then It does pre
cisely what a boat does? goes over |
them or goes through them. The
Wrights learned all this, and when !
they'd learned they were about as ;
near to flying as you and I would bo
to writing Chinese philosophy when
we'd Just learned the English alphabet
Furthermore, there were no teachers,
living or dead, that could help them
more than a few steps along the way.

FOUGHT WITH HIS BOYS.
An Amusing Passage Between Willich
and Rosecrans.
There are times when the so called
"red tape" of the army gives way un
der tho stress of circumstances. At
j the battle of Chickamauga, General
j Willich, who was commanding a brl
1 gade. Incurred the displeasure of Gen
eral liosecrans, the commanding gen
eral, by some very slight omission.
General Willich was sent for aud In
formed by the geueral commanding
that he must cousider himself uuder
arrest for the present
| "General," said Rosecrans sternly,
"consider yourself under arrest and
leave your sword here until your case
la tried."
"Yes, general, I will consider myself
under arrest" was the reDly, "and
shust so zoon as dls flght's over I'M
come and tlx him up."
"But, sir," said the astounded Hose
crans, "1 want you to consider your
self under arrest now."
"Of course 1 do," responded Willich
promptly, "and so zoou as I got off dis
j light I'll be up and settle him."
| "But, sir." expostulated the com- I
! mandlng geueral, "I can't let you go
| Id to this fight. You are under arrest !
I will send an otllcer to your brigade."
"You send an officer to light my
boys!" cried Willich ludlgnantly. "He
can't do it. They don't know him. Mo
they know. I teach them. 1 light |
them, and none of the boys would j
know how to fight or what to do only j
when 1 go with them. My boys be
long to me; yes. me. General Willich.
I command the brigade, and 1 must j
tight the brigade."
General Rosecrans gave it up. Gen
eral Willich was requested to return
and "fight his boys." which be did
most successfully. And that was the
end of the matter.? Youth's Compan

HAINES TO BE CONGRATULATED
er years Haines was deprived of this 1
money, under the federal statutes.
There Is another gratifying feature
of the election. That is the deckled
majority by which the people of
Haines voted for home rule ? for in
corporation is nothing more <han
home rule at home. The majority
rolled up clearly shows where the
people of Haines stand and the vote
Is a strong rebuke to the politicians
who are denying Alaska home rule.
The result of the election should
also be enlightening to those prosti
tutes of the press who actually deny j
that the people of Alaska desire homo:
rule. The people of Haines desired
It ? that is about 80 per cent of them !
! did. We are certain that about the
! same per centage of all the people
! in the territory take the same stand
| on territorial home rule.
GOOD LUCK.
OH, once In each man's life at leaat
Good luck knocks at his door.
And wit to selzo the Hitting guest
Need never hunger more.
BUT while tho loitering Idler waits
Good luck besldo her flro
The bold heart storms at fortune's gates ;
And conquers Its desire.

Death Certificate* For Dogs.
The veterinarian was bandaging the
leg of n French ixxxlle when the tele
phone rang, so he asked the visitor to
take the message.
"Please tell the doctor," said a wo
inau at the other eud o f the wire, "that
King Charles Is dead and we Would
like a death certificate right away."
The visitor transmitted the news of
royalty demise, then added something
about the "tomfoolery of getting a
deiith certificate for a dog."
"It may be tomfoolery," said the
veterinarian, "but a lot of people with
pet cits and dogs are guilty of It. If
a real King Charles wns dead and 1
was maklug out a certificate to file
with the board of health 1 should take
no more pains than I shall for that
family that has lost a dog. His ai*>
and the date of death will bo recorded,
and the disease that cnrrled htm off
will bo described lu detail. Of course
the owners of valuable animals are
most likely to ask for death certifi
cates, but very often the possessor of
an ugly little cur that has crept Into
his nrfections wnnts one too."? New

How to Hit.
With 0110 swift, straight right to tho
Jaw tho little man had knocked the
big, fat bully out completely. Now he
was boasting modestly about the mat
ter.
"I learned how to bit." he said,
"from Gentleman Jim Corbett. Gen
tleman Jim claims that iu street fight
ing If you land one clean right you
win. But few men know how to hit
out straight and clean. They swiug.
And a swing is no good because It can
so easily bo dodged.
"To hit out with the right straight
and swift? this Is how Jlui taught me
to do It. You step forward with your
left foot 'toward the enemy. You hit
straight out with your right arm as
hard as you can, at the same tlrao
shoving your body forward and push
ing off with the ball of your right foot
as though you wore going to shove the
whole earth from uudcr you.
"Tlnu Is how to land a straight right.
It Is easy, and It wins every time."
Cindy's Logic.
Cindy was an old black southern
"mammy," with all tho lovable traits
and inconsistencies of her kind. For
many years she was cook In the War
ren family and gave faithful and sat
isfactory service.
One summer the eutlre family were
away for two months, ni\d Mr. War
ren gave Cindy a real vacation by
paying her full wages for that time
'and giving her the keys to the well
stocked storeroom.
A few days after the return of the
family Cindy Came bristling Into Xlrs.
Warren's" sitting room.
"1 wants mo" wages." she announced.
"Why, Cindy." exclaimed the sur
prised mistress, "you arc getting bet
tor pay than any cook 1 know of In a
family tho size of ours. You have a
nice, comfortable room and good treat
ment. Think how kind It was of Mr.
Warren to give you n long vacation
with your full wages."
"Dat's It." grumbled Cindy. "Mr.
Warren paid me dat money fur doln"
nuthin". An' now all yon folks Is come
back fur me to cook fur an" wait on.

you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform tho samo work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fonton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
mont for publication, tolling of my ex
perlcnce with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on ono occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kldnoys needed atten
tion. Whan I learned of Doan's Kid
ney PdUs, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from tho first and beforo long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have, since had no return of kidney
complaint"

Why Ho Gave Nothing.
"I've encountered many an excuse
for 'sidestepping' t lie collection lmsket
lu church," remarked a Jersey com
muter. "but the prize excuse came to
me last Sunday out in our town. Next
to me In church sat an acquaintance
who had taken out a dollar 1)111, but
when ho saw the collector was a sub
stitute for the regular brother he put
the money back In his pocket. I taxed
him with it good natnredly on the
way out, and lie was very frank:
" 'You needn't publish it,' said he,
'but I know that . man pretty well.
Now, 1 happen to owe him $5, aud
he's Uunniog me unnecessarily for It.
I know lilni so well that I know if I
put that dollar bill in the basket he'd
ilnd a way to abstract It and pocket It
as part of what 1 owe him. And he'd
really feel he was Justified too. That's
tho way he's built, don't you see.'
