SKH8AII0MAL STAT2MBHT8.
Ia Connection With Misses Book in
Secretary of State's Fffice.
D. H. Means, formerly clerk of
the sinking fund commission bos
written a long Jetter to the State
in which he makes some sensation
al statements in regard to the miss
ive books of the secretary of state's
- fflje. He says that he had noth
ing co do with the books txcepc to
enter bis namej on posits tne fees
paid in to the offl:e, which were
all taken In by Coief Clers Gantt
as they were handed ever to nim,
and that Mr. GintC would ficq lent
ly say thac be was not prepaied to
turn ^over certain of the fees.
That each entry of his, Means,
receipt balanced with his baak ac
count and was certified to when he
cloi.ed the book and turned it over to
r.he (ffice. He further scates tbat
Gintt earnestly requested him to say
nothing of this b -oic to tne InveKtiga
tlntr committee. Fr qhently Mr. Gantt
wcu'.d askJolor r-o turn b-e< to an
entry on tne fee book and pay him
Che fee, then he would receipt for
the same buc the entry would be out
of numerical order, and tbat be bad
passed over a great many entries that
were never settled for by Mr. Gantt
?Ith him. Only the books with the
receipts for money paid to Means,
knew. Tais book was the most im
portant one for the committee as it
snowed what was due the state either
by Mr. Gantt or by tho people. Mr.
Gantt one-e brought him that hook cut
of the sc cretary of state's office and
i sked him to put it in a safe place. He
put it in a place thought to ba safe
and known only to Gantt and himself.
The fire occurred just abouD he time
the examiuacion was complete and
this book disappeared. Mr. Gantt had
told him chat be had a key to the
sinking fund commission room, as he
had a right to have being coief clerk
of the secretary of state.
TfCE FARMER.
He Is the Most ladepsnpant of all
Mankind.
Harper's Weekly suggests Utat in
these piping days of agricultural pros.
perity we should not forget the fine
old farmer's toast not uncommonly
found on English drinking vesaeli in
former timts. It goes as follows:
"Let the wealthy and great
R)ll in splender and state,
I envy tntm not, I declare it,
1 eat my own lamb,
My chickens and bam,
I shear my own fleece and I wear it.
I haye lawns, I have towers,
I have fruits, I have flower?,
The lark is my^orning alarmer;
So my jolly boys-now,
Here's God speed the plou.h,
Long life and success to the farm
er."
The young man on the farm who is
tempted to go to the town or city,
giving up a subitantial certainty for
doubtful prospects, would do well to
consider the truth expressed in these
lines. The farmer's life is the most
independent, and is beset with less
temptations than any other. 11 is the
nearest to nature and the farthest
away from the degenerating artificial
ities of the modern world. It is be
cause of this artificiality and Its false
standards that the ten dollar a. week
clerk, who may be fired any nay and
not be able to pay his laundry bill, is
led to consider himself the superior of
r.he strong, Sun browned harvester
who gathers his cropg on his own land.
Tney are higher pr z s toan those
c?at are won by tne successful farm
er, buc those higher prizes are too
>f teu secured in part through a mo*al
compromise and a sacrifice of se'f <es
pect which the farmer is never called
upon to make.

promoted S. II. Alexander from a
laborer to a clerkship in the depart

Carolenlan been promoted but to ac
centuate the honor an clfijlal state

account of the deed. The attempted
robbery to"* dace on tne night of
February 0, 1901, and the cllijial ac

Girl in Wrontr 1'lace.
A dis-pitch from Atlat.ta says Flor
ence Kergassner, a 15 year-old girl of
Lexington, Ky., who came toAtianta
some time a^o and ha* been working
in a bag factory is held at the police
station in care of the matron until
some satisfactory disposition cf the
girl can be made. The girl was ta
ken into custody while dlieers were
investigating a row at a boarding
house on lower Decatur street,
woich is said to have been caused by
an attempt of a young man to hug
the girl. This provoked anger among
st me of the male hoarders and a gen
eral row was the rcsu'.t. After hear
ing ali the evidence the recorder de
cided it would be best to send the
girl back to Lexington. The evi
dence was to the effect that the
boarding house was. hardly the right
place for the girl.
MAN TO FLY LIEB BIRD.
Prcfifrasor Bell Says It Has Beep
Done in Not? Scotia.
Minkind Isalrcaly on % he threshold
of aerial trans portat.ou b- b- dies
heavier tr.an the air, said Alexander
Graham Bell, of Washington.
"It miy corre in a few months or a
few yean; indeed, we are beginning
to do it now, I am speaking, not
simply of my own tfi rts but of the
work or all investigators. P;rsnnally
I do not care whu dues it, so tnat it It
done.
Publicity has not previously been
given to the feature of bis late re
sults, which Mr. Bell regards most
significant. This reurt is success in
making a kitelike mechanism, unat
tached by a rope, moving alone In the
air and devoid of any engine of pro
pulsion sail forward against the wind
and rise while so doing. The rigid
wing flight of the larger birds is a
performance of this very nature, ana
the result led Mr. Boll to remark:
''Man will In due time be able to
soar very much after the manner of
tbe eagle, which utilizes the energy
of the wind, against which it flies for
its own propulsion, without using its
muscles other than dlrectlvely. I
presume that the practical employ
ment of an engine or self propelled
flying mechanism will come first before
mm trust thcm.u lves to a soaring de
vice but in the coming perfecting of
aerial transportation, both applica
tions will be made.
"So mucu significance do I attaoh
so tbe success alre.dy obtained with
the free soaring kite that I named
it the 'Bonos,' as the ancient Greeks
styled the 'birds (f augur,' whose soar
ings their prophets watched from
towers of observation. Tbis free
moving kite balled against the wind
then circled around and a second
time rose against tbe current. Nj
we have not yet attempted to put a
man lo this machine, tut one of tbe
kites moored by a rope has lifted a
man weighing 165 pounds thirty feet
above the ground.
Mr. Bell has just returned from his
station in Nova Scotia, where the
experiments were conducted, and is
now preparing a report to present be
fore tne Geographical society, or be
fore the National Academy of Sien
ces, whlca will meet in Washington
in April. He was asked if further
experimentalework would be underta
ken during bis wl ter's stay in the
capital and be laughingly replied:
"Well, It Is haid for ma to keep my
hands off this work, but the trouble Is
that there are too many newspaper
men around Washington. It is not
wise to let the necessary preliminary
failure be known before the final re
sult la obtained. However, I have
ome places for experiment in the
neighborhood and I will, perhaps be
able to add something to wbat is al
ready available for publication before
the April meeting.
A carious incident In connection
with the experiments in Nova Scotia
was a move by some eagles to attack
one of the kites, which at a distance
vfiry much resemble a great bird.
Bat the eagles, when close enough to
note the size cf the new creation,
"thought better" of the attempt and
withdrew._

A New Year Prayer.
O, thou Master of all times and sea
sons?
Thou who dost mark the ages in their
flight,
Grant this new year my gift to Thee
may be.
To love my fellow man, to be, to do
For bsm what 1 wcu:d have him do
for mel
That selfnameness may cause my
every deed;
That I may know no hate?no bitter
ness,
But love the world as even Thou ha3t
loved.
Grant me thy peace which years can
.never Dring?
Peace withih my heart?peace to fol
low men;
For this new year which thou bast
given me
I must return to thee when thou de
mand.
I ask not for myself material thing*,
That come and pass away like com
mon dust;
I only plead that thou to mo will
give
To live thelifewhich thou dost live in
me.
0, thou Mister, In whose sight tine
pissir.g
Of a thousand years is but a single
day,
Wilt thou not heed this prayer and
grant to me
Its answer as the gift of Thy new
year.
