THE parade of the wheelmen on Pennsyl-

this great thoroughfarc, 1t was not wide
enough yesterday for the usual traffic,
double file Of bicycles, and crowd Of specta.

walks. tho people insisted upon getting as
near to the car tracks as was practicable with
out ondangering life and limb, and tho silent
riders were obliged to dodge about to avoid
the street cars on tho one side and the crowd
on the other. To keep up anything like an
al ienment was impossible Instead of COM
pact columns of uniformed riders on nickel
plated steeds there was a broken, ragged
line of double files, with long spaces between
the several clubs Of which the column was
composed. The order of march may have
been different at other points, but at Tenth

THE INTERRUPTED BANQUET.


Quoth Morrison unto his horde
Ofvalorous and courtly knights:
''Let each one lay aside his sword,
And under thess inspiring lights,
Fill every beakeF mp with wine
And drink to health ofme and miner
But, 10! with auger.fashiug eyes.

"Nay, not TO thee nor thine" he cries,
"But to the idol of our hearts,
We drink our bumpers red and warm

"Sfore beauteous he than you may find
Among all w0mgnknd Of earth,
And in her patriotic mind
Sweet inspirations have their birth;
10 her / fill my beakcr up,
And to her beauty drain the Cupl"
No sooner was the challenge said
Than all within tho oaken door
A frowsy female pORed her head
And loudly did her woes deplore;
Quoth Morrison, with pittying smile,
"Come in, old girl, and rest awhile"
In through the door the female came
very battered female She
Decreplt, haggard, gqualid, lame,
The prototype Of misery,
Rugged out in tattered, dirty dress
She looked the picture Of distress
A patch WAS OH her dexter eye,
llsT other eye was vague and bleared,
And II was easy to descry
Ono Of her ears had disappeared,
While her ensangulned Roman nose
Boro evidence Of hostile blows.
"Now, who be ye," Sir Harry cried
"'rhGt oometh in such sorry plight p
"AlasW the battered girl replied,
"Pm slightly or my base to'nIsht
But was called, before tho storm,
