strange looking machine. Then it was, that I remembered of having read about his great invention of a craft, which would go many miles a second. Now this daring fellow was starting on a trip to Mars! What a genius! Sailing on eastward, we arrived at Cologne, where we found Albert Tucker just getting a patent on a HullH-ing Machine, which he had in- vented. Upon talking with Tuck,'7 we found that he was enthusiastic over his discovery. He said he was making great progress therein, and the public sympathy was with him. Congratulations, Albert! Close by in Augsburg, we discovered Ruth Caca just finishing a course in one of the great universities of Germany. Upon her graduation from this school, she will have had all the education and culture which it is possible to obtain. Now, upon the request of a Call, she is writing a book on 'cDomestic Happinessj' and other things on highf' As she is noted for using long, ponderous words, be sure to get a Webster's Dic- tionary when you get this volume. Going on to Berlin, we found Margaret Mott, just getting her degree from the best art school in the city. She is now recognizedithe world over as the best artist' living. Ever since she did such good designing in the Art Class of Nineteen Eleven, I knew she had a great future before her. Going back again to Monte Carlo, we suddenly found S'Chalkie,' Nash presiding over the Do Nothing Club. He said he was aspiring to be president of the 4'Never Sweatsj' and the goal was in view. He said he was leading a comfortable life here by playing cards. Close by we found Raymond Wise, falias Cat or Ivory-topwi famous the world over as a pool shark, being re-nominated as the presi- dent of the 4'Ivory Club. The world was serving him well as he was getting fat- still as droll as ever. Traveling eastward, we stopped at a small village in China, looking at the sights and strange people. Someone touched me on the shoulder and turning I beheld-L'Van Jenkins. I learned that she had obtained a divorce from her husband, Mr. HBud Hare, and wishing to wipe out the sad remembrance, had come as missionary to the benighted heathen. The world has read of her great work and knows how devoted she is to the cause. Sailing southward and west again, we came to Palestine, where we beheld Gladys Keiser and Gladys Metsker traveling on a continental tour, making collections and seeing the people. Already they had mastered fourteen languages! Just now they were intensely interested in visiting the scenes of the early historical heroes. Going on southward we came to Egypt, stopping at Alexandria. Our attention was attracted by a great noise and confusion, and running to the scene we were just in time to rescue two old friends, Augusta Wod- dell and Daisy Bartholomew, from the pranks of the town boys and girls.

'I VERYBODY knows what great progress and advancement have been made in the use of airships and aeroplanes in the last iifteen years, how they have caused a revolution and re-adjustment of worldly matters and affairs. VVho would have thought in 1910 that the airship and aero- plane would become the common mode of travel, that they would make the best form of pleasure trips? Ah! but now in the year Anno Domino 1920, things have so changed, that the use of the once popular automobile has declined, street cars ha've almost disappeared, the air ship craze is on. It Was June, 1020, and my friend and I had a short vacation, in which to rest and to forget the dreary routine of work. Going to an air ship livery, we hired a machine to take a short pleasure trip. The Weather was ideal and the air exhilarating. While still on this trip, I suddenly conceived the idea of taking an extended tour of the world. We descended to earth, made thorough preparation for the trip, and finally started on our cruise, the most novel and exciting ever undertaken in an aeroplane. I Heading southward, we soon came over Indianapolis, the state capi- tal. We looked around some time in vain, when whom should we see through a windowbut our old school-mate, Agnes Little. She was sitting in the office of her husband, who was the owner tor the presidentl of the great Union Traction Company. Who would have thought we would have run upon her here? - Heading straight east, we traveled many hours when we came in sight of Harvard College. We were passing over this place unsuspect- ingly, when my attention was attracted by a dapper, little gentleman whose figure looked familiar. Looking closer, I saw Mr. Theodore Sawyer, Esq., philosopher and professor. How dignified and prepossess- ing our old i'Theo looked! After cruising around awhile over eastern America, we started to Europe hoping to reach that country, as we did, in two days. We stopped at Paris, France, where it was evident that immense preparations were being made for some important event. Upon arriving, whom should we see, but Victor Roudebush, alias Daredevil Aviatorft sitting in a z

From what we were able to learn, these two were also on a tour, to learn whatever they could in the old world. It was rumored that the buxom Miss Bartholomew was looking for a husband, but I am not inclined to that opinion. From here we decided to travel southward to the jungles of Africa. Arriving at a small village, we discovered i'Bud'i Hare with a party just starting on a great hunt into the forest. He said he was going to hunt 'ibig gamef' Now it is a well known fact that Bud hits what he shoots at-sometimes. I asked him what animal it was his ambition to kill and, drawing himself up and expanding his chest, he said: i'Friends, since I have killed at least a wagon load of rabbits in America, and those 'a-settini, too, it is now my ambition to kill a bear, with my fist, until then, my insatiable thirst for adventure and heroic actions will not be quenched. ' Going on past the jungles, we saw, far away, a caravan. Approach- ing this, we saw Mrs. Harold Vestal, formerly Blanche Carlin, riding in state on one of those big camels. Riding meekly beside her was Reddy.H It was easy to see who was boss.', Poor Reddy. She said she was taking her husband out for a long trip, which she thought would benefit his health and bring back the roses to her cheeks. Crossing to South America, we found in the city of Montevideo, Noel Young, noted .lack-of-all-trades. Just now he was demonstrating the Maxwell Automobile. Noel says, Boys, she's the only auto that ever was? I-Ie said he was just starting to bum his way to America again, wanting to save his money. Visiting the scene of the Panama Canal, we found Chauncey Craig, noted engineer. He had full control of the construction of the improve- ments on the locks and his work was certainly wonderful. He said that he was about to resign his work here and go back to Noblesville, Indiana, United States of America, and become i'Dean of Fryberger University, which position was open to him. Enthusiasftically, he cried, c'Ch, you wedding bellsii' Journeying to Argentina, we discovered Lura Mallery, or rather Mrs. ---. She related about her happy marriage to a ranchman and his sad death- Now she was running a boarding house and was getting a reputation as a cause of indigestion and doctor bills. We traveled on southward, but had not proceeded far when my atten- tion was attracted to a little hut, with strange looking implements sur- rounding it. We descended to investigate and whom should we encounter but Tunk,' Tescherl 6'Tunk had now been in the South for many years, isolated from the public and pursuing conscientiously his scientific inves- tigations. The World will, in all probability, soon hear of his great dis- coveries in the scientific realm. Sailing across to Australia, we stopped at a large establishment for , '-1
