WANTED ALL HE COULD GET Elderly Passenger in Airplane Was Looking for Some Thrills for His Good Money. Last summer Kokomo, Ind., had the usual airplane pilot who took passengers up for $1 a minute. The pilot was approached one day by a man who was easily within earshot of eighty years. The pilot took him aboard and soared around in "straight flying," in order not to give the efderly passenger any thrills that would be dangerous to his heart action. After the customary fifteen minutes he slid gracefully to the ground and motioned his passenger to alights The old man complied, and then walked up to the aviator. "Say," he exclaimed, "are you a real flyer? What about Immelman turns, barrel rolls, loop-the-loops, nose dive, tail spin, falling leaf, pancake, and so on? Can you do any of those things?" "Sure," replied the aviator, "but I did not think you cared about any of those things. They are a trifle risky, you know, and might upsei your stomach.'*" "Well, I paid for a good ridfc and I expected some of those things," the passenger countered, "and I would like to get them. Give me all you got Tumble around in the air like a porpoise in the ocean." The aviator told him to climb aboard and he would accommodate him. He gave the passenger "all he had."

We are all familiar with Sir Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines" nor was he by any means the first to put forward the theory, though in a romance, that many old and but halfworked mines might yet await the patient toil of the searcher. Except in cases where there had been longcontinued use, it is not at all improbable that there are ancient mines ready to reward the intelligent methods of today. But now in Idaho, we are told, "the 'lost' gold mine of the Upper Salmon river district" has been rediscovered. A rich ledge had been found by two prospectors and worked by them a little; then they fell out and a Spokane policeman, who had the secret from one of them, sought the mine for 20 years; then he fell out. and now it has been found anew, to enrich the finders, for the ledge proper is said to be from four to six I The dollars ( number of people is increasing?an< Oi rn V\rv/"\l7-C" ol IV/ U.JL MUVI\0 Oi cent, since the fb close of business, the close of busir We know tha savings account n ing.

Incidentally, he will shortly lose his daughter. He tells it this way: "I was in my study when the door was flung open and in came Jack.

"I wonder where our country would be today if all the men svho have lived in it had stayed as home and petted their wives all their iff hours as you are wanting me to do for you?" "Well, the women always suffer," she retorted. "Public men never have time to appreciate their wives and sympathize with?" Then he interrupted her. "Oh, that ?ry for sympathy" (he was angry low). "I suppose that it's a nationild cry.
