A PROBLEM IN WATCH-WINDING. This Will Interest the Man With a Mathematical Mind. Every night at 12 p. m. I wind up my watch, giving 12 turns. Should I forget to wind, the watch will run down at 6 o’clock the following morning. It occurs to me that I may be overwinding my watch, and I determine to give only 10 turns each night, and beginning to do so on a Monday night. Will the watch run down, and if so, when? Note: Turns in winding are all of -equal value. The following is the answer generally given, though it is incorrect: As 12 turns carries the watch Jor 24 hours and till 6 o’clock —that is to say, for 30 hours —10 turns would carry it 25 hours, and therefore the watch would never run down. The correct solution is as follows: The watch, of course, always has six hours in hand. The problem starts: "Every night I wind my watch, giving 12 turns.” If every night li turns are required, each turn carries two hours, and therefore 10 turns on Monday night carries it for 20 hours, to 8 o’clock Tuesday evening and six hours in hand —2 o’clock on Wednesday morning. Ten winds on Tuesday night carries to 8 o’clock Wednesday evening and two hours in hand —10 o’clock on Wednesday evening, when the watch runs down. —Strand Magazine.

AIR RAIDS FOILED BY GERMAN GUNS

Two Escape After Daring Attack on Zeppelin Balloon Works at Friedrichshafen. ONE AVIATOR 16 CAPTURED Flies Within 800 Feet of Main Bull'd Ings When Tank of Engine Is , Pierced by Shell. Geneva, Switzerland.—ln their daring raid on the Zeppelin airship works at Friedrichshafen, Germany, the three English aviators succeeded In damag ing one of the big sheds with bombs. The airship in the shed was uninjured, however. Great precautions have been taken by the Germans to protect the airship works at Friedrichshafen. Cannon and machine guns especially made for firing upon air craft are mounted everywhere. When the aviators swooped down upon the city the guns were immediately turned upon them. The Englishmen circled about the balloon sheds and dropped six bombs. Two came near the main building. One struck a shed. The others fell on houses, damaging them and killing a man. . One of the birdmen then made an attempt to fly over the airship works at a height of only a quarter of a mile. Bullets from the guns mounted on the tops of buildings, however, pierced the aeroplane’s gasoline tank, causing the fuel to escape and forcing the pilot to attempt to glide to the earth. During the descent of the machine the airman, a lieutenant of the British Royal Naval air service named Briggs, threw two or three more bombs at the hangar, but they missed their mark and did no damage. The lieutenant, ( on reaching the ground, tried to defend himself with a revolver, but was captured by the employes of the Zeppelin wharf after receiving a slight wound in the head. The point where the aeroplane landed was only 300 feet from the main Zeppelin hall. • TUe other aviators, after seeing the accident to their companion, did not throw any bombs, but arose to a great height and disappeared across Lake Constance toward France, from whence they had come.

DEATH TO ALL SPIES; WOMEN PAY PENALTY

Execution of English and German Girls Told in Dispatches—Many Others. From time immemorial the spy has been one of the most dangerous factors with which military men have had to deal. Death is the punishment when caught. Although methods of communication have been greatly increased, the spy appears to be more dangerous today then ever, and daily executions have followed captures in the war zone. Women have paid for their daring with their lives. The number is unknown, but they are said to be numerous. Following are two dispatches, each of which tells its story of war: Amsterdam, Holland. —A message received here tells of the shooting of an English woman as a spy in the German barracks at Courtrai, Belgium. The woman, it was said, was dressed in the garments of a priest when captured by the Germans. Petrograd, Russia. —A German girl spy was caught a few miles outside of Petrograd. She has been court-mar-laled and shot. Her clothes were lined with admirably executed plans of Kronstadt and other military stations.

To what extent the spy has been busy is indicated by the references in English newspapers to the extraordinarily good information possessed by the Germans concerning the movements and even the contemplated movements of the British troops. At the outbreak of the war it was declared that there were thousands of sptop in England. In France many Germans have been executed as spies. A recent dispatch told of the execution of fifteen Germans who were found in an insane asylum in Lorraine. All the doctors and most of the attendants had deserted the institution with the approach of the French army and their places were taken by the spies. By clever use of flags the spies were able to direct the German artillery fire, at a distance, against the French. Fewer reports have come from Germany regarding spies. It Is said, however that many Russians have been detected in Germany. The' Russian espionage system is in many ways superior to all others. Russian spies In Austria have been’of great assistance to the Czar’s army chiefs. In all. the countries at war passports have been stolen by spies and the signatures studied so that the holders can produce passable imitations. Spies have even been caught with their own photographs pasted over others in passports and with the official stamp on the photographs counterfeited. When the spies are captured and sentenced they meet death bravely. That is part of their creed. Soldiers loathe the task of shooting women, •>ut such is the law of war. All accounts, however, state they face death without flinching. Detective—" Did the burglar drink any of the liquor on the sideboard?” Householder—-No; the liquor was Dugan. He’smarried to a suffragette art dasn’t go home with his breath

TRUE TO HER LOVE OF 65 YEARS AGO

Aged Woman Remembers First Beau With Greetings on Anniversary a Buggy Ride They. Took. San Francisco, Cal. —The saying that •'the constancy of a woman runs but three years and a day*’ has again been refuted, for out of the past there has flickered a message from Ohio to California that tells how an effection once planted in a woman’* heart never ceases to burn, though the winter of life weaves the frost halo in her hair and though vast mountains and numerous miles are thrust between the young emotion and the old. On a summer day in 1849 Stephen T. Gage, 18 years of age, took Mary Stevens, 16, for a ride along the beech and maple uplands of Ashtabula, Ohio, and boy and girl together they picnicked by a leaf-embowered stream. There was a spark that went with the glances of the two, but Fate swung their lives far apart A strapping, six-foot-three youth, he joined the pilgrimage to the west, while she remained in the comparative quietude of the old Ohio home. He went Into freighting over the big Sierra divide from Hangtown (Placer ville) into Nevada, and in 1856 was sent as an assemblyman on the Know Nothing ticket to represent his country, then the “Empire county of the state,’’ in the Legislature—the legislative session of which he is now the sole survivor. . .:

In his freighting he charged “all the traffic would bear** and he grew In influence and confidence In the transportation game. When it came Mme .to organize the building of the great transcontinental railroad, young Gage was a factor to be reckoned with, and he joined the Crockers, Stanford, Colton, Huntington, Hopkins and .Judah in carrying the project to its conclusion. Then he became a commanding figure In the politics of California and Nevada —the confidant and right hand of Stanford in carrying forward the railroad’s manifold policies. He made governors and judges, assessors, secretaries and controllers with a nod and unmade them with a wink. Men fawned lor his favor and scurried from his frown. He married, but not the girl of the picnic of Ashtabula in the far dim Ohio of his youth. Death made him a widower —twice. Age came, and with time the companions of his youth, his mature manhood and his achievements went their way. But that age left him ruddy and rugged—quick of eye, firm of step, patriarchal as to beard, but still such a figure that has made him called “the handsomest man in Californio.’’

But all these years in the far-away Ohio a woman remembered that picnic out of Ashtabula beneath the beeches and the maples, remembered a gleam in his eye, recalled the pressure of his hand. Three years ago Stephen T. Gage went back to Ohio and there he took Mary Stevens for a ride and picnic over the same old road out of Ashtabula—a ride under the beech and maple shade, a picnic by the same leafembowered stream. On the anniversary of that first ride in 1849 there came to Stephen T. Gage, 83 years old and a resident of this city, from Mary E. Stevens, aged 81, a telegraphed message reading: “To my first and only beau." “Happy returns of the day,” wired Stephen T. Gage in reply, and he hummed an old love tune.

DOG’S PEDIGREE NOTHING

Says Idaho Miner, If You Love Your Dog—His Story la Good Proof. Boise, Idaho. —Edward McDonald and his brother, Michael, two typical Southern mountaineers, who have been living in the mountains back of Pioneerville for a lumber of years, and who still dress in the typical Tennessee mountain style, appeared at the Boise station with tickets to Nashville. Edward McDonald remarked that he wanted to check his dog through and asked if he could get off at certain stations to feed and pet the animal. "That dog is powerful fond of me,” he remarked in explanation as the station agent's eye fell upon the homely animal. • <- His face fell somewhat when he was < told that it would cost him something like |lO to check the dog. “Why can’t he go on our tickets—we.’ve got two?” he asked. When told that he would have to pay |7.60 to St. Louis and another fee from there on, he said: “Well, that cur thinks so powerful much of me I reckon I’ll have to pay it ft'makes no difference about the kind ofddg ifyou e him, you know,” and he slowly counted out the money from an old miner's wallet and put the dog in'the baggage car, with a final love pat on his head.

FROM POOR BOY TO MONEY KING

Anthony Brady, “Melo of Wall Street/* Leaves $77,000X100. New York.—Anthony N, Brady, who, starting as a poor boy, climbed from a humble position in the Hotel Delevan in Albany to the top of Wall street's financial ladder, left a gross estate of 177,043,443, according to the report of Charles M, Friend, state transfer tax appraiser. . With the exception of John D. Rockefeller's fortune and the millions accumulated by Andrew Carnegie, the Brady estate is thought to be the largest in the country. A native of Lille, France, Brady became the "mole of Wall street” by shrewd financial work. He left 3100.000 to charity. ?

OKLAHOMA BOY RIVAL TO EDISON

Youtb V»ri«liiM ■ Making and Hyiat Kites by *e Um of Cables. lISES A CAT MAKING EXPERIMENTS - < Possesses Electric Train, Wireless Apparatus and “Wireless _ Light.’’ f Checotah, Okla.—Paul Parrott, a Checotah, Okla., boy has broken the record in this part of the country so far as kites are concerned, having recently constructed one fourteen feet long and nine feet wide, which requires a cable to hold it when flying. While flying the kite pulls so vigorously that it cannot be held by hand, but must be wound and unwound by means of a windlass which is anchored to a telephone pole. After experimenting with the Mite, the owner conceived the idea of a parachute attachment, and made one corresponding to the kite in size. He figured that a small copper wire fastened to a pulley on the rope and attached to the parachute would hold till the parachute reached the kite, when It would give way and the parachute would float gently to the ground. When tested the experiment proved that his conjectrues were right, but the desired end had not yet been reached, he wanted a passenger to test its carrying ability. Accordingly he began to cast about for the coveted object A cat seemed to be the most available thing, which was fastened securely to a net to the parachute and sent up to meet the kite. Though the cat’s protests, expressed by continuous howls could be heard from any part of the town during its flight, it made a successful trip and reached the ground in safety. On the cat’s second trip it remained perfectly quiet until the parachute landed, and when picked up to be released was purring softly. Paul’s name de plume is “Polly,” which is painted in giant black letters on the face of the kite and is clearly legible from the kite’s greatest flight of 500 or 600 feet, or the extreme length of the rope.

He has other interesting experiments, among which Is an electric train with a block signal, which causes the train to automatically stop at the gate for two minutes, when the switch opens and permits the train to make another revolution of the circuit. ’ All this is accomplished by means of storage batteries and works as perfectly as if done by hand and will operate day and night without being touched as long as it is connected with the current. Included in this display Is what he calls his wireless light, a small bulb showing no connection with either battery or current, seeming to burn independently of everything else. It Is likely that he will be called to the east in the near future to install this display at Chautauqua headquarters. Paul, when a small boy, came to Checotah with his parents from his Ohio home, and has since lived here. He is a sign painter by trade, but Is. easily anything else that is necessary.. His chosen profession being very elastic, It is applied to different kinds of painting, such as stage curtains, interior decorations, window lettering, cards, caricature drawing and various; other things. He is quite a favorite in Checotah. He is always ready to lend a helping hand to anything bene flcial and is a treasure in local talent entertainment He plays the cornet In the church choir, the orchestra and the town band.

VICIOUS DEER TRAPPED WHILE KILLING SNAKE

Battle Between Big Buck and Rattler Attracts Texas Stockman to the Scene. Breckenridge, Texas.—While J.’ F. Parkhill, a prominent stockman of Breckenridge was out hunting his cows on the Hubbard River, in the northern part of this county, his attention was attracted to a vacant yanchhonsa by some violent disturbance going on witihn. Upon approaching the building he beheld a buck deer on the inside engaged in killing a large rattlesnake. Suddenly the deer made a break for the door, but was fought back by Mr. Parkhill with a scantling until he could barricade the entrance. The next day Mr. Parkhill, along with County Clerk J. A. Ault, CoL Warner Parkhill and J. L. Griffith, went to the vacant house and hauled the deer home in a wagon. The deer was a vicious animal and Mr. Parkhill was severely cut and bruised by the deer while trying to keep it in the ranchhouse until the door was barricaded. v
