ALL BIRDMEN FATALISTS
"It Will Get Me Some Day," Every
Aviator Admits.
Bdward Lyell Fox In the Century Mag
axlne. Hoxsey was a fatalist, one of the
many whose strange temperament has
helped make aviation possible.
"If It's after me. It'll get me." ha
used to- say.
This symbolic '"it" is recognized and
feared by all. They feel there's a thing
lurking in the clouds a death-dealing
thing that patiently- awaits their day.
To this uncanny feeling, this grewsome
premonition, their fatalism is trace
able. There is something beautiful and ter
rible in tha conception tnat even the
moat unimaginative aviator holds of
the thing that waits for him up In the
sky. Often with supreme fatalism he
talks Indifferently on the subject, hud
dled In a tent or on the lee side of a
! hangar when the wind Is booming and
the canvas flapping heavily at Its
straining ropes.
"I'll' get us yet. ' he. says when the
wind whistles its loudest: "it'll get us
an It did Johnstone, -aMoxsey, Molsant,
Rolls. Le Blon all of Jhem."
That's his way of referring to the
thing luck, chance, fate, death. But
we whom the air has -not transformed
Into fatalists can subject the matter
to cold analysis. We can separate the
elements of thla weird compound that
has made these men more indifferent
to life than were ever the swarthy
soldier of Mohammed.
- W can see. Instead of the vague
shape that somewhere behind the
clouds is taklnti those who once yield
to Its damp,Tnisty terror, the many
causes of accidents In the air.
For clarity, let us place these causes
in groupings:
Flrst--Ther Is the strange psychol
ogy of flying. Accidents to themselves
do not make aviators careful; rather,
they have an opposite effect.
"Lightning does not twice strike in
th same place In the same way," they
reason, "and if it's going to strike us in
another place. It will, that's all."
Also, accidents to other aviators have
no effect on them. Remember, Hoxsey
at Penver and Los Angeles. It- was
his turn" Is the attlude.
Second There Is the carelessness of
flying, which is best subdivided In this
waja:
1. Relaxation of nervous tension.
1. 'Momentary loss of balance.
I. Overconf ldence.
4. Confounding recklessness. Ignor
ance of dantrer and fatalistic Indiffer
ence with bravery.

OLD TRADITIONS LAST
England Still Has Eaith in Stories
of Dragons and Pixies.
London Globe.
Tradition la commonly treated with
less respect than she deserves. Su
perior persons promptly class all legen
dary lore with myths and fables, and
turn away contemptuously from such
Idle stories. But the humble student of
thesa matters knows that all the more
persistent traditions are really in
stances, often amazing ones, of folk
memory, confused and distorted per
haps, but bearing the actual imprint
of tbe feelings and thoughts of gener
ations ago.
In certain parts of England there
still linger vague traditions of dragons,
and the terror and " devastation they
occasioned. That these were no flesh
and blood creatures of thoso early days
when feai-some beasts roamed the
country Is shown by the prevalence of
such tales In certain places only, and
the fact that no other animal, however
alarming. ' has Inspired such dread.
There can be little doubt that where
these legends are found in cSast dis
tricts they preserve the remembrance
of past descents of the marauding
Danes in their dragon ships, and the
awful havoc they created. Even now
the fear implanted so long ago is not
absolutely dead, for the reputed
stronghold of the dragon (generally the
site of ari ancient battle) is left se
verely alone, by the children, and even
the men will not willingly go near the
spot after dark.
Many antiquaries are now inclined to
think that the belief In fairies or pix
ies, which still lingers in some out-of-the-way
corners of England, is another
Instance, lmmeasureably ancient, of
folk memory. The '"little people" axe.
It is thought, those ancient Ivernian
inhabitants of Britain, who, physically
Inferior in stature and warlike char
acteristics to the invading Gaels, were
driven by them into the fastnesses of
cave and hill and forest. As they lost
the'ir fear of their conquerors they oc
casionally revisited their old haunts,
sometimes to play pranks, sometimes
to render substantial help, according
to the reward they received for their
services. There are may tales in the
west of the Pixies coming regularly to
do housework, make bread, or churn
while the household slept, providing al
ways that no one attempted to spy on
them and that a bowl of the richest,
fresheist cream was left out for them.
If the cream was pour or any attempt
was made to catch them at their work
they never visited the house again.
The stories of people being "pixy-led"
may well have originated in the efforts
of tbe little people to decoy from their
haunts some person who bad strayed
lata th neighborhood of them.- But
this instance, if Instance it be. of folk
memory. Is so lost in the mist of an
tiquity as to be incapable of proof.
Testimony to the truth of an ancient
tradition is sometimes forthcoming in
an unexpected way. A well-known anti
quary tells the story of a friend of his
who was informed by an old man that
a certain barrow was haunted by the
ghost of a soldier in " golden armor.
This gentleman waa able to have the
barrow opened, and there was found
the skeleton of a man with a bronze
breast-plate, who had been burled in
Anglo-Saxon times, -or earlier. So the
old man's tale of the ghost was a true
Instance of folk, memory, a tradition
which had been passed on from one
generation to another -for about 1300
years.
At Shingay, in Cambridgeshire, there
still exists a tradition that "once upon
a time" people were brought, by night,
in a "fairy cart" to be buried at Shin
gay, but why the legend does not say.
Yet It is a plain statement of truth,
handed down from father to son since
the days when King John ruled, and
England lay under an interdict which
forbade all religious services, even
that of burial. But Shingay belonged
to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John,
and was exempt from the ban, so that
those who had dead to bury brought
them thither in secrecy, and at night,
on a wheeled bier or "feretorium," a
word that was easily converted by
eye-witnesses into a cart that was
called a "ferry" something, whence the
transition to "fairy cart" is easy.
So let those who are inclined to dis
dain all tradition as foolishness look a
second time lest trie folly lie in their
own denseness. Many less ancient tra
ditions have been manufactured to fit
circumstances, many really old ones
have been altered and post-dated to ac
cord with newer facts, but in all the
older ones lies the garm of truth, to
be discovered by the patient searcher
who seeks to trace the tangled thread
to its beginning. A fascinating occu
pation and one that will all too soon
pass away as the printed record takes
the place of the old folk memory which
even now only lingers on in the as yet
unspoiled nooks and corners of England.
AUTOBUS RULES
OLD-TIMK COACH DOWXEI) BY
.MODERN" VEHICLE.
Tom Rlckman, Last of Famous
Four-Horse Teamsters, Finally
Gives Way. to Progress.
LONDON. April 16. The autobus has
finally dominated London. Another link
with the city's picturesque past has
just been severed by the discontin
uance of the last sujvivor of the real
coach-omnibus, with its spanking team
of four horses, which had performed
the journey from the southern suburb
of Bal ham to the city aa long as the
present generation can recollect.
The driver will be missed as much as
the coach, for "Old Tom," as Tom Rick
man was familiarly known along the
route, has driven his little party of
"regulars," as he termed his passen
gers, for only a few months short of
30 years. . He is the embodiment of
the typical old coachman, who 'used
-so frequently to be seen on the high
ways before the days of railways. His
expansive, ruddy face was "well known
to the police," and they, recognizing
from afar The beaming countenance of
"Old Tom." perched above his well
groomed team, allowed the favored
coachman to thread the London traf
fic with a latitude that would never
have been granted to a Junior whip or
the most Impatient of chauffeurs.
Old Tom's memory carries him back
to the days when the London omnibus
was a far less- commodious and com
fortable vehicle than the one. he has
just ceased to drive. One need not
be a centenarian to recollect the rum
bling old vehicle, on which outside
passengers had to climb to their seats
along the "knlfeboard" by perpendicu
lar little iron steps, which afforded the
scantletst foothold. No woman, in
those days, ever dreamed of traveling
on the outside of an omnibus, and the
bold spirit who aspired to sit by the
ide of the driver on the box seat had
to hoist himself up by tlie aid of the
strap which dangled from the front.
The inside passengers. In Winter time,
had the luxury of straw to keep their
feet warm, and the sickly flame of an
oil lamp, hung on the door at night,
feebly illuminated the faces of the
shivering occupants.
The old coachman regrets the pass
ing of those days, when the driver's
seat was over the off wheel and there
was always a good cigar to be had
from his companion. He is very proud
of his record oh. the road and besides
his regular city trip he has driven
down to 28 Derby races and has driven
team of white Horses In as many
Lord Mayors' shows.
I wouldn't take my hat orr to any
man driving four horses on the road,"
affirms Old Tom. It needs some
driving, if you have a young horse that
wants to read every advertisement on
the roadside from Balham to Grace
church street, and maybe to look In at
the 'bus window now and again."
Some years ago the proprietors of
the omnibus decided it must go; but
so earnest was the protest of the "reg
ulars," who bound themselves by a
written agreement to be reliable pas
sengers every morning, that the own
ers relented and the four-in-hand con
tinued to bowl along the Clapham road
and thread its way over London bridge
n time for the day's routine.
Another protest was promptly forth
coming when the discontinuance of the
service was recently announced, but
this time it was without avail and Old
Tom drove his sociable little party
over London bridge for the last time.
The pleasant morning drive behind the
Jmgllng team Is now a memory of the
past.

years. What has happened has hap
pened: It is doubtful if it could have
been prevented; the once stately resi
dences have given way before the
banking house, the mercantile building,
the structures that aim for recognition
in the skvltne. In at least one section
of an avenue that has been the pride'
of New Yorkers for generations, com
mercialization has been complete.
There appears to be little hope of
keeping out the shops from other sec
tions, but a hope is entertained that
the shops which may spring up between
Twenty-third and Fifty-ninth streets
may be housed in buildings that will
conform In some degree to, and not
overshadow, the mansions. The appeal
that Is raised in behalf of the preser
vation of the avenue, and that has been
answered by President McAneny's Fifth
avenue commission, finds form in the
wish and recommendation that the
height of all bulldinsrs to be erected on
the thoroughfare hereafter shall be
restricted.
The press of New York Is practically
a unit in urging that steps be taken
at once to preserve Fifth avenue as a
thoroughfare for fine shops and im
pressive homes. The general opinion is
that it can legally be done, and that the
doing of it will In no wise impair real
estate values. On the contrary, the
position Is taken that the restrictions
which will conserve the traditional
prestige and beauty of the avenue will
enhance its frontage values. Restricted
height will turn the constructor of of
fice and loft buildings away, from it, of
course. Height he must have in order
to make his enterprises pay, but there
are building investors to whom the
thoroughfare will appeal all the more
forcibly the moment it becomes known
that it is to be preserved from the
overshadowing presence of the sky
scraper. The larger American cities, having
all acquired the greatness of bigness
and richness, are turning their atten
tion to the esthetic. It has dawned
upon the popular consciousness that
mere bigness, mere population, mere
business, do not quite meet their
yearning. Everywhere the city planner
is being granted a hearing; everywhere
tlte man who is able to show a great
community how It can make Itself look
more attractive Is certain of an au
dience. One of the first steps toward
better things is the taking of care to
preserve such good things as have es
caped the "onward sweep of improve
ment." Every city that has something
that ought to be preserved should pre
serve it first of all, and this will make
theNnext step easier. New York sees
Fifth avenue slipping away from her:
she is trying to check, she may suc
ceed in stopping the movement. All
other cities that entertain a hope of
saving their fine old streets from ob
literation by the hand of what Is mis
named "progress" will sympathize with
the metropolis.
The Sunset Trail.
Berton Braley, in The Popultr.
Out along tho sunset trail
Life was never dull er atale;
You could alius take a chance
Kind adventure an' romance.
Where the mountains climbed so far
Knot-kin up agin a star!
Seems as ii! I had to to
When the onst is callln' so.
Got to answer to the hail
From the pals I used to know
Out along the sunset trail!
Out along the sunset trail
Life was something new an' gla'l.
There weren't no distinctions pale.
iood was good an' bad was bad
i Bad was extry double had l !
There waa women there an' men
Like wel'll never see again.
SwaKgerin an' quick an' proud.
Loyal, laughln. roURh an' loud:
Buckln' any game they played
Like they thuught they couldn't fall;
They weren't pikers er afraid,
Out along the sunset trail!
Out along tha sunset trail
Life was swift an' blood was red.
Now them flamln' days la dead,
Things Is quiet like an' pale.
Yet I reckon If It came
To a p'lnt where there was need
They could play the aame old game.
Play It with the same old speed;
They could light an' work an' love
Like the folk I'm singin' of;
Women still are women brave.
Kind, an' tender to the grave.
Men are biff an' true an' male! $
Out alung the sunset trail!
