Fuel for fun. The one thing that makes crooked things straight, and straight things crooked. The most effective substitute for brains. A provider for everything but happi ness; a passport to everywhere but heaven. The New York Idea. _ Something that always gets the glad hand. Money Is the most difficult root to cultivate.

Hardly was the place a town before Drake descended upon It and sacked tt. In 1596 Hawkins raided It and got much booty and only four yeara later tha unhappy town was burned by a Dutch corsair.

In 1891 came the biggest revolution that ever convulsed a South American republic, and the city was the scene of three days' continuous and terrific fighting.

We have heard that a little fiction every day Is good to relax the mind, but find many difficulties arise In con nection with taking the dose. For In stance, today we had Just enough time to make a start at relaxing the mind, when worn crowded In. and Ihe relax ation waa put off tilt .tomorrow. This la ai far as we got: "It's good to see. you once more, Ar thur!" Naoina Lake ran across the room, holding out both hands to the strone, dark young man who came for ward to meet her. Her delicate face was alight with real Joy. "Good!" he echoed, taking her ex tended hands and drawing her to him. As he bent his face to meet hers, she shrank back, flushing painfully. Then a smile flickered across her face and she dlsengsged her hands, motioning him lo a seat. (Note: But we are sure that the mind would have been relaxed had we had lime to read All. The man was strong and dark; the girl hail a delicate face. These are necessary qualifica tions In all fiction. But what happened next? Will we ever find time lo Read More?)

One of Ihe strange experiences of a balloonist I* that of falling Into "a hole In the air,” which Mr. Rolker reports as follows; So you continue sailing, enjoying the present with little thought of the startling surprises that may be before you. Ahead of you, unseen, may be what the balloonist calls a 'hole In the air,' resembling the vortex of a mael strom, and down this you may liter ally fall at a rate which Is terrifying until, by sacrificing two or three bag fuls of sand at once, your pitot checks your downward flight. But these 'holes’ are scarce, and, aa a rule, the atmosphere Is of uniform carrying power.”—American Magaxlne. The American Audit Company 100 Broadway, Ntw York City. F. W. LAFRENTZ, C. P. A., Pres.
