president of the Aero club of Texas. When
the Chicago races were announced last
winter he immediately sought Capt. Hon-
eywell and ordered the finest balloon pos-
sible to be made. That craft is the
“Fielding-San Antonio,” which Capt.
Honywell piloted to victory in the rac*
just completed.
Dr. Fielding will soon inaugurate a
movement to bring the greatest balloons
of the country to San Antonio for a Jong
distance race to New York. In thi£ ef-
fort he has the oacking of all Texas,
and in Chicago has already received much
encouragement over the project. Last
season he won several world trophies with
his two-foot motor boats, the Fantana
and Alamo. This was too tame and he is
now in the balloon sport.

that is the one for you. Read the papers until you find it, then

years you wili be able to send back to the farm for your mother

New York, July 6.—On the roof of the
Y. M. C. A. building yesterday Rev.
Charles Mitchell, president of the Stella
Purity association and the Stella Purity
academy and farm at Cherokee, Alfalfa
county, Oklahoma, delivered an address
upon the subject of morality purity io
thirty-seven young men. He denounced
the double standard of morality; declared
that only one-eighth of the marriages
are happy; that the playgrounds of the
public school is second only to the sa-
loon as the worst place in this country,
and advised all his hearer to abstain
from the use of tobacco.
“Many a mother,” said th- Rev. Mitch-
ell, “prays with tears in her eyes that
her son may not be taught by a clergy-
man who uses tobacco. In Oklahoma
the Stella Purity association has a farm
upon which there is no tobacco. We
teach girls and boys how to live right-
eously. We exclude tobacco just as we
exclude drink.
-mothers ought not to ue to their chil-
dren. They ought not to tell them stories
about Santa Claus, for instance, because

will think that she will deceive him about

New York, July 6.—With only a
minimum amount of supplies and
equipment, Commander Peary’s explor-
ing ship, the Roosevelt, will leave the
pier at East Twenty-fourth street at
1 o’clock today for the initial stage of
her journey towara the north pole.
Over $4,000 is still lacking in the esti-
mate the explorer made some time ago
of the smallest amount of money nec-
essary for another attempt to place
the stars and stripes over the geo-
graphical point never before reached
by human beings.
“I haven't the supplies and equip-
ment I would like to have,” declared
Commander Peary last night, “but still
I think we ■ will be able to pull
through. With my experience and
knowledge of the country up there, I
think the expedition is prepared for
three years in the Arctic regions, if
conditions are favorable, and I have
no bad luck. I will have, of course,
to depend upon geeting a good amount
of wild game for food, which I would
not be so dependent upon if I could
obtain all the provisions I expected to
have.”
On board the commander’s ship this
afternoon, in addition to the twenty-
two men making up the expedition,
will be members of the Peary Arctic
Club and a party of invited guests. A
government tug from the navy yard
will conduct the Roosevelt to an an-
chorage off City Island and bring the
party of passengers .back to the city.
From City Island- the Roosevelt will
proceed to Oyster Bay tomorrow to be
inspected by President Roosevelt.
Commander Peary himself will not
sail on the Roosevelt from Oyster Bay,
but will join her at Sydney, C. B.
The scientific equipment to be used
in this expeditition is now on board
the Roosevlt and probably the most
complete ever taken to the polar re-
gions, consisting as it does of all the
instruments needed in meteorological,
astronomical and tidal observations.

Too Much Argument.
He had been to the Wild west show
and had stopped for a
turning in.
“Weil, no, I wasn’t a cowboy,” he
said. “I was a sheepman, and I want
to tell you a cowman despises a sheep-
man more than a sheepman despises a
coyote. And that’s some. A sheepman
after a while gets to despising himself
and mankind in general, too, and the
reason is this: While a cotvman has
the company of other humans, the
sheepman goes out with one compan-
ion and several thousand head, and the
work keeps them separated so much
of the time that they begin to draw
in to themselves. Several months of
this and they get to the point of hat-
ing each other.
“Let me tell you of a fellow I once
rode with. We had finishhed supper
one night and were rolled up in our
blankets. Not a word had passed be-
tween us for more than a week.
“ ‘Hear that cow beller?’ he asked,
suddenly.
“ ‘Might be a bull,’ I told him.
“No answer, but the next morning I
noticed him packing up.
“ ‘Going to leave?’ I asked.
“ ‘Yes,’ he replied.
“ ‘What for?’
“ ‘Too much argument.’ ”
There is a way open to convince the

this case of it given by a citizen:
Mrs. C. Demetrious, 2014 Church St.,
Galveston, Tex., says: “I consider
Doan’s Kidney Pills a most reliable
kidney remedy, and have no hesitancy
in giving them my reindorsement. I
suffered a great deal from pains in my
back ad kidneys. These were so in-
tense at times that I thought my back
would break. My feet were also swol-

In 1872 there was a great deal of diar* tions were irregular. Acting on the
advice of a friend, I procured a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills from Schott's drug
store. I had only used this box and
started on the second before I felt
great benefit. I steadily improved and
when I had used the contents of six
boxes was entirely relieved. From that
day to this I have taken pleasure in
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills to
my friends.” • :

Forgot Bryan’s Specialty.
Gov. Sheldon of Nebraska tells the
following story about his famous fel-
low statesman,. William J. Bryan, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. Early In his
career Bryan made a tour of Nebraska,
speaking for the Democratic candi-
date. He attacked the Republican can-
didate with a bitterness and vigor sel-
dom equaled. The Republican won.
After the election there was a great
harvest home festival In Lincoln, at
which the governor elect presided and
at which Mr. Bryan was asked to
speak. He sat on the stage, hot and
uncomfortable, facing the man he had
called every name in the calendar. It
was one of those functions where
someone . sang, then someone spoke,
then someone read the Declaration of
Independence, and then someone
played solo on a cornet, and again
someone sang.
When it came Bryan’s turn the pre-
siding officer stepped to the front of
the platform and said:
“Now, I wish to introduce to you
your brilliant young fellow townsman,
William J. Bryan, who will----”
Here he stopped, leaned over and
whispered to Bryan in a stage whisper
that none could fail to hear:
“Do you speak or sing?”
