On such a night as last Friday the
city council chamber, one would nat
urally think, is not the ideal resort for
pleasure. In fact, at no time is the
assembly chamber of the city'S legiS-
lative body the scene of wild hilarity.
However, there seems to be firmly
established opinion in the minds of
many people that pleas ure is to be
found on the third floor of the city hall;
hence, at every council meeting there
is fair sprinkling of spectators in the
rear of the chamber. Friday evening
that room was hot; even more, it was
torrid. The pleasure seekers were
there. however, and the fortitude with
which they bore up in the swetering
atmosphere was worthy of a better OBJ
ject. But they did it. and seemed to
enjoy it. although just what pleasure
was to be derived from watching Aid.

There is scarcely an institution of this
nineteenth century which is capable OF
so much, and which is undergoing so
much development as bicycling. When
bicycles were first put upon the market
they were looked upon as playlhingS

followed the example of their sons.
Finally the ladies, not to be outdone by
the masculine portion of the race, re-
solved to ride the whirling wheels, and
they ale doing it. But, as substitute
for the family carriage and the baby
carriage, the bicycle is still young. Last
Sunday, however, travellers on the Cal

of the machine, the little one calmly re-
posing in his light wicker-work chair,
which was securely strapped to the
front of the machine. If babies can be
carried on bicycles, why can not whole
families be thus trotted around the coun-
try? The use of the bicycle seems to-
have just begun.
She was short and square. She had
short, square nose and square mouth.
Her hair was short. She had a short
way of speaking. She came into the
office of the clerk of the municipal court
and asked for warrant. Her landlord
wanted her to move out and she didn't
want to. She wanted to have him ar
rested because he had asked her to
move.
ssDo you owe him any rent?'' queried
the mild-mannered deputy clerk.

''No; but he was very short with me,
and ordered me out"
"We can't give you warrant on those
grounds"

.Now, my good woman. there is no
use in saying any more. You can't
have warrant, and that settles it,"
and the deputy clerk retired to chair.
She f1ounced out, went down the
stairs two steps at time, whirled into

forcibly, and wanted to know how she
could have that man arrested. Peter
considered a moment, then remarked:

Just go home. and if he bothers you any
more. just give him talking to. That'll

And she went. She was mad, she was

her.
