Will modern lovers elope by air?
It is on record that at least one en
terprising couple have made such an
attempt Unfortunately the-plan was
nipped In the bud owing to unforeseen
circumstances. But there Is little rea
son to -doubt that before long aerial
Don Juans will soar away with their 1
fair burdens.
It is interesting to recall the vari
ous means of effecting elopements.
They are as old as time. First they
took place on foot with perhaps the
aid of a rowing boat to help cross a
river. Horses, too, were In great de
mand and many a happy maid rode
pillion snatched away from under the
very eyes of her irate parents. Later
came the coach to aid Romeo and Juli
et and what a gallant "my love against
the worid" air It added to the romance.
Trains and automobiles have also
played their part in "love's young
dream," but the future "stunt" will be
to elope by airplane.
The airplane wooer will have to be
on his guard against the vigilance of
the law which has already found the
flying machine useful in the execution
of Justice. Thus a policeman in Los
Angeles attempted to arrest a Jap
anese aviator for debt. The man
promptly flew off while the policeman
gave chase In an automobile. The
pursuit continued until the aviator wag
compelled to come down through lack
of gasoline.
A somewhat similar occurrence
took place in Florida, A negro serv
ant in a fashionable hotel stole a very
valuable brooch. He ran away but de
tectives discovered, by means of wire
less, that lie was on board a ship off
Bermuda. The vessel was delayed a
few days off the coast while it was
decided to bring him back by hydro
plane, the machine being offered by
Harold McCormick. The owner, ac
companied by a detective, acted as
pilot. In a few minutes they were
alongside the ship, the thief was ar
rested and taken back a prisoner.
Sydney Levy in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Caught ?8,000,000 Fish.
Fishing is not like farming. The
farmer can reckon pretty well what
his crops are going to yield, but the
fisherman merely guesses.
Our East coast fishermen, for in
stance, guessed that they would be
visited In the middle of last Septem
ber by herrings. But the herrings did
not come, according to London An
swers. Then, when all hope had
been relinquished the herrings turned
up one day-some 28,000,000 of them.
Perhaps the late summer had matie
them los? co?nt of the calendar and
-d.i.,. 4Lol. ?W"U_._
Fishermen who had been looking
glum returned with beaming faces.
Three hundred and fifty boats, after
dreary days of walting, came back
with loads averaging 80 crans each
that is, 80,000 herrings. Some boats
had more, one bringing In 100,000 fish.
The total fish landed in one day
equaled 28,000,000, with millions more
to follow.
Herrings, like swallows, have their
migrating periods. The swallows fly
free, but the poor herrings-or a
goodly portion of them-are cooked
and eatin.
Asleep.
The Woman at service could not re
sist the temptation of watching a man
on the opposite side of the church
who had fallen asleep during the mid
dle of the sermon. He did not snore
or create any disturbance, and he
looked so comfortable and peaceful
that his neighbors smiled at each oth
er Indulgently and did not rouse lura.
The Woman speculated a little on
how and when he would wake up.
When she had worked it out to her
own satisfaction she again bestowed
her attention on the sermon, still
keeping half an eye on the mau
asleep.
At the close of the sermon, when
the congregation knelt, the man evi
dently sensed the stir around him as
that of the audience departing. He
stood up quickly, grabbed his hat and
overcoat and started to make his exit.
Then he did wake up.-Chicago Jour

"That's one on me, old timer," re

LEARN TO "LIVE
Mere Existence Should Never Be
One's Sole Aim.
Too Many Tie Themselves to the
Grindstone and Fail to See Beauty
and Joy of Life.
The other day a man died. After
the funeral a party of those wiro had
known him were discussing him-quite
sympathetically. His good points were
recalled and emphasized, and it came
as a blt of a shock when the crj^jg^m
was made:
"Yes, poor old S-wasn't a bad
?ort, but he only lived eighteen years."
"Why, he was fifty-three !" came the
protestation.
"Yes; but he only lived eighteen of
them-from the time he was seven
j and began to get hold of life, until he
was twenty-five. After that-well, he
I simply worked and slept. He didn't
live ; he just existed. There's a mighty
, difference."
Silence fell on the group. The un
expected criticism had thrown an il
luminating searchlight on one man's
life and revealed the truth, remarks a
London Answers writer.
He hadn't "lived." Life, by his own
choice, had been just work and sleep,
sleep and work. No, please do not
seek to excuse him by saying that
possibly his work was his life. In a
sense it was, but it had no right to
be. He was in the world as much to
live as to work.
The divine plan never intended that
any man should use his life wholly and
solely for work. That, most obvious
ly, with necessary sleep added, would
leave no time for "living" in the rea?
sense of the word. It would be the
turning of the grindstone, with no eye
for the pageant of life and no share
In lt. That's existence-not "living."
Have we not to take from, as well as
give to, the world? Has any one real
ly "lived" if his record ls that he
worked and slept and worked and
slept and died?
Of some men it is said that they
like their work so much that it Is their
life. Well, it shouldn't be. It is as
though one forever lived on bread and
water and ignored nature's gifts, cre
ated for our use and enjoyment, of ^
luscious fruits, fish and fowl/
Do not we work to live? Why, then,
revere that and live to work? It
may be argued that our necessities and
our responsibilities compel. They
should not. Take the case of the man
who died. He worked and worked
and never broke off to ';llve," because
of his responsibilities. In the end,
and as the result, he died In the prime
of life-worked out. And he left his
responsibilities behind him-unprovld
rsJLJoi ! -gfco-ffclndatong of work wore
him out:
If you want to live on, you must
"live." Toil takes toil. "Living"
the holiday by the sea, the football
match, the enjoyable evening at the
ciub, cricket, the pictures, little out
ings, fishing, golf, all and everything
which is pleasurable, mak? you "live."
And that ls what we are here for.
The elixir of life ls hidden in the nec
tar of pure, recreative pleasure. Get
away from the grindstone and drink
of it. You want life, and not just
existence.
The old tag, "We ain't got much
money, but we do see life !" holds pro
found wisdom.
Do, please, "live"! Work should be
but the means to that end. Don't be
as a man the writer knows who works,
works, works that he may scrape a
thousand pounds together for his wife
und children when he has gone. Un
selfish? No, merely silly!
He could bring about the same re
sult by spending twelve pounds a year
on lite insurance and use the balance
of his earnings to "live!"
Live please! Take something out
of life. All work and no play makes
life just an existence. Live!
Superstition Among French People.
That superstition and belief In
witchcraft and sorcery are not dead
in France was shown the other day
in the case of a young Parisian girl,
who, acting on the advice of a fortune
teller, burled a calf's heart in a wom
als grave in order to recover the af
fection of her faithless lover.
In the provinces such cases are
common. There, are villagers who are
popularly believed to cast spells over
their neighbors; magicians and sor
cerers in the back valleys of the
Loire and on the lonely Landes of
Brittany who wield mysterious power
and call up unseen forces of good or
evil to sooth or terrorize the peas
ants.
Frequently French superstition finds
comfort in "goo- spirits" in the form
of magicians who are learned In the
art of discovering buried treasure or
of healing the sick. They are reputed
to hold converse with the spirits of
the departed and are consulted by
their neighbors on family affairs like
wills or marriages just as the Oraclei
were consulted In ancient times.
