Since The Georgian Inaugurated the

Because many ladles, some with babes
In their arms, were forced to etand In
the crowded care, others who were seat

those standing when the car would stop
or start, or when the conductor passed
thru the collect fares; because the plat

because the patrons of the company

Little Bed-Time Tales By EDITH HAVENS
D
ID you ever play Indian—with
feathers and wigwams and bows
and arrows? You can’t imagine
how much fun it is. The little peo
ple of whom I am going to tell you
about agreed one and all that playing
Indian waa the greatest fun they ever
had.
The children had played th* old
games so long that they began to get
very tired of them and when Leon
Stevens suggested that they play In
dian there was much joy among them.
There were four little folks in alL
First of all it was necessary to build
a wigwam and this was a simple mat
ter for Alice Hanson’s father had a
whole lot of burlap bus which he
gladly gave to the children. While
Alice and Marion Seavy sewed great
strips of this burlap together Leon
and Fred Merchant went over to the
noodlot close by to cut some long
poles
They decided to have the camp in
the open field just behind Leon’s
house. By noontime the wigwam was
completed. And such a wigwam it
was.
Then came a rush to find feathers,
for of course Indians must have feath-
ers. A general raid was made upon
Indians
the hen coop and the pigeon loft
They gathered hundreds of them. And
then it was that Mrs. Stevens, Leon's
mother, began to help them. First,
she fitted strips of doth about their
heads, then she sewed feathers on the
cloth. With a safety pin she fash
ioned them into gay feathered crowns
and the little folks did indeed look
like real Indians when these crowns
were placed upon their heads.
Mrs. Stevens remembered that the
had half a doien old red blankets up
in the attic and while she went to get
them the children danced about the
room in true Indian style.
Presently Mrs. Stevens returned
with the flaring red blankets, and if
you had had them made to order they
couldn’t have been more Indian-look
ing.
In a second the children were
wrapped in the red folds and shouting
warwhoops they dashed for the wigwam
in back of the house. Both Leon and
Fred owned bows and arrows and
how the girls shouted when they made
believe they were chasing the buffalo.
But Ihe best fun was still to come,
for when noontime came Mra. Stevens
suggested^ that they have dinner out
in trie wigwam.
She made them some fine sand
wiches and gave them some uncooked
potatoes, the latter being cooked in a
little brick fireplace by the boys Nev
er did potatoes taste better.
But listen to the ftinny names they
gave each other.
pred waa Thunder Cloud; Leon,
Big Mountain; Marion, Laugh jpg
Wind: and Alice, Singing Brook.
Don't you think it was fun?
limp and lifel
It is estimated that 30.000 persona
were massed about the water front and
the terminal of the Florida East Coast
aa the aviator dwindled to a speck In
the offing after soaring over th* city.
The manufacturing plants and the
steamers In the harbor kept up sn In
cessant din with their sirens and whis
tles.
In tha crowds were thousands who
had never before teen an aeroplane,
and the sight of the big eagte-llke ma
chine whlxslng thru apace with the
speed of an express train waa phe
nomenal.
His Man Confident.
At the hangar, after he had passed
from view, hla mechanics decided they
were willing to make a wager that the
aviator would be circling the building
of the Havana Poat within two hours.
At 8:14 o’clock a wireless message,
flashed from the torpedo boat Roe,
etated that Aviator McCurdy had
passed over the vessel and that his
machine was working perfectly.
At 8:32 o'clock a wireless reported
McCurdy still In the air and making ex-
•ellent progress. At that time he had
passed from the vision of those at Hand
Key who had been following hla courae
with telescopes.
Shortly after 8 o’clock a wireless wss
received from a Cuban revenue cutler
at the mouth of the Havana harbor de
claring that McCurdy had not been
lighted there.
Protege of Graham Bell.
McCurdy was a protege of Dr. Alex
ander Graham Bell when he became
7 1 Interested In scientific pursuits. He
* came from Haddock, Nova Scotia,
where Dr. Bell resided, and they worked
long and patiently over the construc
tion of a tetrahedral kite, which gave
McCurdy Inspiration to become an avi
ator. McCurdy waa one of the four
men who Instituted an aeroplane manu
factory at llammondsport, X. Y.. and
was the constructor of the famous ma
chine Silver Dari, a biplane In which
ho made a number of flights In enstern
Canada until It was smashed In a fall In
ISO*.
The. aviator's earlier attention waa
principally directed toward motor con
structlon. and he attempted to Invent a
new aeroplane motor fashioned after
tho automobile motor wlilrh would
combine lightness and durability.
McCurdy made a number of daring
flights near Haddock, over a dozen
lakes where a fall meant certain death.
latter he became a member of the
Canadian Aerodrome Company and
traveled about giving exhibitions In
machines made by that company. One
of the most spectacular flights ever
made by the Canadian flyer was at his
home town of Baddock In February,
1909, when the weather was Intensely
cold and the ground covered with snow.
Ascending over Brasdor lake, McCur
dy circled over the Baddock river twice.
During one of hla circles over the river
he swung out over the estate of Dr.
Bell. The young aviator allowed hla
machine to careen too sharply and It
fell to earth, smashing one of the
wings and throwing the hundreds of
spectators Into a panic. They expected
to see McCurdy killed, hut he emerged
from the wreckage of hla machine un
hurt. Subsequently the flyer traveled
over Ihe United Slates giving exhibi
tions In all sections of the country. As
his aerial experience* widened he grad
ually became one of the best known
aviators on the American continent.

He followed this by stating that the
whole question for determination de
pends upon whether, under the facts
alleged In the IndlctmenL the papers
which It waa proposed to mall were
entitled to admission at th* one-oent-
a-pound rate.
While deriding that these papers
were entitled to thle rate. Judge New
man conceded that thu postmaster gen

not antagonistic to. or Inconsistent

be binding and effective, and In some
cases have (he same fores and effect of

BUT SUNSHINE STILL
“Something wrong with the weather In
these parts, and that Is ppaltlvsly no lie,’’
said the weather man Monday morning.
“I believe the mercury has a fevered Im
agination, for Sunday It went up as high
•a. 71. which came pretty near close to
being a record for thla tins* of tbe year.
Another remarkable feature of It la that
In the north and northwest It is Just as

there are many wave In which, taking
the view* of the third assistant post

No Real Offenie In Indictment.
It was the Judge's opinion that ne
real offense was charged In the Indict
ment and that It was not a scheme to
defraud when II was only sought to do
which the law allowed. Further speak
ing along this line, Judge Newman said:
”1 do not pass upon any of the other
questions In this ease which It Is un
necessary to decide. I do hold, how
ever. that thla Indictment Is Inaqfllclenf.
because It falls to charge an offense
under the proviso to tho act of 1879 —
that Is, that Ihe scheme set out con
templated the sending of papers thru
the malls not only to others than regu
lar subscribers, but also that they were
designed primarily for advertising pur
poses or for circulation at nominal
rates. These are the only Instances un-
dor the act* of congress In which *
publication having the other require
ment* and admitted to tho second class
would violate the law bv mailing under
the second-class rate. In a case.Hkt
thl*. charging a crime under erftlnn
5440 of Ihe revised statutes, It shouk
not be necessary to salher the case
from mere Inference, but It should
charge with reasonable certainly that
which would constitute an offense un
der the law,”
In concluding his opinion Judge New
man said that In hie Judgment the In
dictment failed to state a case under
th* law and the demurrer was eustalnec
for the reasons given.
