Wilbur, .joint inventor with him of the machine in f "which both achievements were per- ? formed at Lemnns, France, with Pro- J feasor Painlsve. of the French Institute, as passenger. Tluit flight was | 1 hour, U minutes and 3o seconds. Wilbur was an eager sepctator of , Tuesday's t'.ight by his brother. j The cheering wheih heralded the j setting of a new mark in the conquest ] of the air, was led by President Taft , in person, who had sat. an intensely j interested spectator throughout the , flight, and who insisted at its conclusion upon personally congratulating the brothers upon their success. This success was all-important to the Wrights in that it completed the first of two crucial tests of their machine imposed upon them by the "United States government?the so i called "endurance test," which reipiirer them to remain one hoar continuously in the air with one passenger. Orville did nearly 13 minutes better than that, and could have kept on indefinitely?three hours and a half the limit imposed by the gasoline capacity of the supply tank. His devoted sister, Miss Katherine Wright, who nursed Orville through the period of his recovery from that disaster, in which lie was hurt Sept. 17, 1903, and Lieut. Selfrdge was killed, anxiously watched him from the hed where the aeroplane is kept, and when lie returned unhurt from his flight, gripped him eagerly by the arm, nestled her face against his breast and said: "Bully for you, brother: it was beautiful." President Taft hastening to them grasped the hand of both and said: f "I congratulate you heartily, sir. It was u great exhibition Von lw>a? world's record." The machine used in the test flight consists of two planes, one fiive feet above the other, and measuring 30 ( feet from tip to tip. f The seat for the operator is placed ) in the centre of the lower plane, to , the left of the motor. The passenger sits on the other side of the mo- { tor. The motor itself is a product of 3 the Wright brothers and is a four- t syliiuler, 30 horse-power, water cool- ? ed gasoline engine. e The weight of the machine includ- i ing both operator and passenger, is a t trifle under 1,200 pounds. e t Bank Officer Skips With $50,000. Tipton, 111., Special.?The First National Bank of Tipton was closed Monday night and its assistant cashier, Noah R.

E There Is no doubt, that exercise Is l< ery beneficial to fowls. Among hu- n nans the lack of exercise combined P vlth high feeding causes most trou- o ilesome diseases, such as dropsy. !< !"he same laws govern the animal l? irorld. There are several things that 3' xerclse does. One of these Is, it N treveuts the birds becoming too fat, vhich in turn destroys their usefuliess. Xo matter how much a bird fats, if it exercises it will keep the u at from accumulating as the mus- u lllfir OvneUnn w- * * " v.?. VAV1 biua vauocs me lungs IO [( vork excessively, and in doing this o hey burn up a large amount of car- 51 >on, which comes from the food. Be- tl ng burned up in this way, it does not b iccumulate on the body and around c he intestines in the form of fat. b In the poultry house, whole grain c ihould be fed in cut straw or chalt * .prcad thickly. If it is fed in hay or b whole straw the task of uncovering it t 8 too light. The finer tho straw the i nore perfectly will it cover the gralnx l< .hat is sown in It, and the mcrre difficult will be the task of getting It out, g which the hens must do kernel by kernel. If poultry keepers would follow this plan their fowls would lay 1 more egga, for the reason that they would not be over-fat and would be in r generally good health. The mere fact of exercise does not cause the production of eggs. I t A Pair of Partridge Wyandottes. , Among the many beautiful and use ful breeds of poultry which have t made their appearance during the 1 past few years none surpasses the t Partridge Wyandotte. 1 They are handsome, vigorous and \ large, combining all the good qualities needed in the make-up of the modern day money-maker of the poultry yard. The foundation stock of this breed Is so well known and so popular that we need say nothing in its praise, ths Originals, the Silver Laced, the Buff !ind the Golden Laced being recognized as among the best of all our standard breeds. As can be seen the Partridge Wymdottes have compact bodies, clean, fellow shanks and beaks, low rose wmbs and scarcely any wattles. They ire Ideal fowl3 for cold climates, and lannot be excelled in mild or warm ocallties. They are good foragers, >ut will stand confinement In close luarters and are splendid layers dur? ng the cold season. Beef Scrap For Fowls. Beef scrap Is indispensable for 'arded fowls, and for range fowls ilso in winter. They only eat a imall quantity after gradually feedng It to them, even when kept In heir reach all the time, but this litle they must have to be profitable as ayers or breeders. It, like the alfilfa, may either be fed dry, and kept n their reach v!l the time, or fed in ihe mashes. Two heaped tablespoon!uls to a dozen fowls per day. If fed n mash, produce good results. When Slvlng a mash feed give all that will be eaten up clean, but none to be left. ?Mrs. J. C. Deaton, In Progressiva Parmer. An Important Appurtenance. An Important article of furniture for the poultry house la a shallow box of four compartments, for oyster shells, grit, mash and charcoal. This should also be so placed that litter Is not thrown into it. Also have a box of road dust, with a sprinkling of ashes, and occasionally a dust of sulphur or insect powder. "An ounce of prevention la worth a pound of sure." A Handsome Living. Col. Roessle once said there may a not be any very large fortunes made { in poultry raising, but there Is a , landsome living for any one who has ( he love for the pursuit, the ability ( 0 raise and care for the stock, and ? 1 small capital to start with. These j hree things must go hand in hand; c separately they cannot bring success. c Moist Mash.

R. W. M'LAUGHLIN. t i Theme: Truth, Service, Action. Brooklyn, N. Y.?In tho Clinton Avenue Congregational Church the preacher, Sunday morning, was the Rev. R. W. McLaughlin, of Grand Rapids. Mich. His subject wa3: "Truth, Service and Action." Among other things he said: It is said that the masterpieces of literature are rarely, if ever^ the pure creation of literary skill, but are usually suggested by Borne well nigh forgotten and seemingly incidental event of the past. It is also Bald that In the writing of such literature four factors are essential, namely: Time, location, characters and sequence of events. And these four conditions of literature are found in thiB historic statement of fact as recorded in the sixteenth chapter of Acts. It is a Beemlngly unimportant statoment, containing ten names, whose only significance is in what once was or may have been, rather than in what now is. And the four factors are here. Location?the Phrygian region and tho shore line of two continents, at points marked on map as Troas an'd Phillppi. Time?the middle of the first century, while Caesar is still on the throne and the empire rules the world. Characters ? An unnamed man, a devout woman, a ventriloquist maiden, a group of Belfish traders, a male magistrate, a frightened Jailor and Saul of Tarsus. Sequence of events?to show relation of Phrygla to Troas and Troas to Phillppi, which relation reveals the power of truth as it gains possession of one life and through that life disturbs and transforms the world. Ana in tno writing of the story based on these well night forgotten names, there might be three chapters: Phrygla, or }oyall7 to the truth. The narrative states that Paul, starting forth on his second missionary Journey, desires to enter the rich and populous province of Asia, but is forbidden by the Holy Spirit. Moving forward, he come3 to the strange province of Bethynla, and la again forbidden to enter by the Spirit of Jesus. And so hedged to the southward and northward, he Journeys westward until he reaches the shore line of the Mediterranean at Troas. And this historic statement of fact, with Paul as the commanding personality, suggests mystery enough for the greatest 6tory. What does it mean? A man, apparently as free as the wind blowing over the Phrygian highlands, yet not free. It certainly means that here Is a man not free. He hears a voice, though he cannot see the form of the one speaking, even as a bird's song is heard, though It Is unseen because hidden by the foliage. And thi3 voice Is for him the voice of truth. It is called In one verse the Holy Spirit, and in another verse the Spirit of Jesus, but by whatever name called. It means only one thing, and that Is the truth of God reaching for his inner life. And as the truth of God It is authoritative. And more than this, it is final; authority for truth is always final to the honest man. And as final authoritative truth It has power to send him out over the highways of the Roman Emniro with ?iiiiiim? ? * - J , .. ..M uut/.iiuc uuauuuU. AUU this is chapter one in every earnest life?allegiance to the truth. A willingness to follow the truth wherever it may lead. It may close Asia and Bethynia and drive one on to Troas, hut not until a man is willing to say It fortifies my soul To know that whether I perish, Truth is so? Is he able to write chapter one in the Book of Life. Troas?a vision of service. As is true of every good story, chapter two begins where chapter one ends. Paul enters Troas, meets an unnamed man, has a vision in the night, in which ho sees on the distant shores of Europe a person pleading for help. It would be interesting were it possible to interpret the feelings of this man as he enters Troas. Its picturesque? ness, located on a bluff overlooking the Aegean Sea, across whose blue gleam could be seen in vague outline the shore of Europe, and its commerce. The tangled spars at the docks, and the heavily ladened, gaunt camels in the streets, and it* reminders. Not far away the tomb of Achilles and the marble throne of Xerxes, and the remainder of Homer's genius In "the ringing plains of windy Troy." But of more Interest still, the people crowding the streets. And out of the crowd there comes one to enter the circle of Paul's friendship. Is It too much to think of the two men sitting on the bluff during the hours of the day and conversing about the deep things In life? But the conversation ends as darkness comes down upon the earth. The men separate, and Paul, reaching his lodgings, Is soon lost in slumber. And In his sleep he dreams, and sees the friend of the afternoon, now standing yonder In Macedonia, and pleading with him to help. And thus Is chapter two In every earnest life. Allegiance to truth In Phrygla leads to a vision of service In Troas. For truth Is more than an abstract Idea, or a major and minor premise In a cold syllogism. Truth Is a gleam, a suggestion, an illumination. It fires the intellect and kindles the Imagination. Phillppl?region of action. In Phillppl Paul finds Lystra and her household. Soon he meets a ventriloquist maiden owned by a group of SPlfloh viougid, ut-nounces their business; Is seized, beaten, thrown Into jail. In the night he sings and prays. And then follows the story of the conversion of the jailor and Paul's freedom the next morning. Dut why did not Paul remain In Troas and meditate upon his dream? Why does the narrative say, "And straightway?" There are two answers: First, life at Its best is lived In the region of action, not In the realm of dreams. The historian In Acts has caught the meaning of this. For he gives one verse to the dream at Troas and forty-three verses and three books of the New Testament to the Recording of the action following the tlretm. The second answer Is, a man( mast go from his dream In order to keep It. The thought unexpressed Ilea la a lesson of voadroua 3fit i &atf$du ~(b_ehooV 0e; Ho 1 INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM.

Paul was t. ? an apostle and had the authority of ,e an apostle, but he was absolutely tfle free from the domineering spirit. He *bt besought men rather than command- thi: ed them (cf. ch. 2:6, 7). His exam- int. pie is worthy of consideration and wo imitation by all ecclesiastical rulers , to-day. While all believers are breth- * ren, It Is the appointment of God "er that eome be "over" others. The the duty of those who are "over" others ula Is to labor among them (the word for dou "labor" Is a very strong word; it no means not merely to work, but to . work hard) and to admonish them. . Those whom they admonish are un- in der obligation to esteem them very ent highly (R. V.) in love for their anc work's sake. the II. Christian Conduct Townrd All equ Men at All Times, 14, 15. The "dis- ^a\ orderly" (particularly those who would not work, cf. 2 Thess. 3:6, 11; 1 Thess. 4:11), they should "admon- *ee; Ish," "the faint-hearted" they should lati "encourage," "the weak" (those splr- nor Itually weak) they should "support." whi The word for "support" is a very ex- a pressive one. It means to take hold ! of so as to support (cf. Gal. 6:1, 2; w?' Ro. 15:1; 1 Cor. 9:22). "Long suf- wh< farlnor tnnroall " htv? J? *? 1" .?O > >. i licit: is uu oe- ?ei\ llever who needs not the exercise of nee patience "toward" him; there Is none to whom a believer should not show It." Under no circumstances must we pay back the evil that any other man "V does us (cf. Ro. 12:17; 1 Pet. 3:9; m, 2:23; Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60). We should "always follow after (as a matter of eager pursuit) that which ~ Is gocra, one toward another," and not B only so, but "toward all," even the n*8' bitterest Infidel and persecutor. In III. The Will of God. 10-18. Ji Three thlngB every believer should do bus all the time?rejoice, pray and give thanks, this Is God's will In Christ ^ Jesus to usward. A Christian should _ rejoice every day and every hour (cf. Phil. 4:4. 6; Rom. 14:17; 12:12; Acts 5:41; Jas. 1:2). A Christian h f should pray, not Intermittently, but and constantly. Every day should be a C "day of prayer" (cf. Eph. 6-18) Phil. ai1;r 4:6). Only as he prays without ceasIng will the Christian rejoice always. . . In everything, absolutely everything, ' should the Christian give thanks (cf. Eph. 5:20). IV. Entire Ranctificntion, 10-24. two When any one receives the Holy kill Spirit he receives a holy fire (cf. R Matt. 3:11; Acts 2:3; 2 Tim. 1:6, R. fixn V., Marg.). This fire should not be "m, quenched. We quench this fire in ourselves by not yielding to the fire that burns within. We quench this fire in others when we throw cold water upon them as they seek to obey the prompting of the Holy Spirit. ^ Some in Thessalonlca thought lightly vvi. or me utterances of others who spoke I under the Holy Spirit's Influence. Yet I they must not accept every man's claim to speak by the Spirit. They j, should "prove all things" (cf. 1 Jno. 4:1). They should seek to find out Bi"( whether the claim was true or false, exp Every claim to speak by the Spirit tap* should be tested by a comparison t|iel with the teachings of the written ? word (cf. Isa. 8:20; Acts 17:11; Gal. 1:8, 9). No man's claim to author- << Jty and infallibility should be accept- ? ed merely because he makes the claim. That which stands the test and is found to be good we should " "hold fast" (cf. Luke 8:15, R. V.; 1 croi Cor. 11:2, R. V.; Heb. 2:1). On the other hand, that which proves bud, "every form of evil" (R. V.), should be abstained from. This twentieth verse iu constantly misinterpreted to mean to abstain from all appearance C of doing evil If we can without doing per* actual evil in order to avoid the mere Nor appearance of doing evil (cf. 2 Cor. it ? 8:20, 21). Nevertheless it is not the q outward appearance, but the heart e and its purposes at which God looks (cf. 1 Sam. 18:7; Luke 16:15). Man consists of three parts, the spirit, re- *acelved directly from God and linking " him to God (cf. Gen. 2:7; 1 Cor. 15: and 45); the soul, i. e., the animal soul was (cf. Jude 19, R. V., and Marg. and fM] Greek), and the body. Paul's prayer OUB is that each part of this threefold d man be "preserved entire, without ? blame." ThiB means the absolute perfection of the whole man (cf. Phil. *n<? 3:20, 21). When is this absolute *ltc perfection to be attained? "At the upc coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" stoi (cf. ch. 3:13; 1 Jno. 3:2). And now ^he follows, it. we take it in Its connection, one of the most cheering statements In the Bible: "Faithful is he that fP calleth you, who will also do It." Do 1 1 what? Do what Paul has Just prayed ca*' ?sanctify us wholly and preBevue our spirit and soul and body entire. The beg pledge of this is not our faithfulness, I fs but His. What He has called us to IHe Himself will also perfect (cf. Phil. 1:6; Ro. 8:30). "Faithful" means ? true to Hio " _ u,u. nuai tie nai "_ promised He will do (cf. Jno. 10:27- ? 29; 1 Cor. 1:8. 9, 10. 13; 1 Jno. 1: feel 9). It we would have hearts filled 8&1 with hope and strength, we should look neither at our foes nor at our- bef selves, but to our faithful God (cf. j c Nu. 13:30; 14:8,9). Never discount exc I a promise of God, no matter how stu- t j pendous It seems. "Faithful la Iia, , who also will do It." ,n 1 __ | tie, The reorganization of the British fleets for this year's mimic -warfare _ ren Into the historic Red, White and Blue Qn Is a reminder to the New York Trlbune of the origin of that color phrase and of its appropriate application. tho Our flag displays those colors, as do pu^ the flags of France and Russia and j many other lands, and it has occa pk| slonally been called by their names, j but the "Three cheors tor the Red, ) White and Blue!" must be conceded ^ to he of purely English origin. ^ Proverbs and Phrases. boldly ventured is half iron.? rman.
