A pious mother who has carefully reared two

Gently Mortified by overhearing from their lips
the following conversation: 80, pshaw, Ben,
you know they'll knock the Holy Cross clear out
of sight," exclaimed her sedate Joseph. "well,' -
responded Ben, I'm not so sure of that; of
course, they can wipe up the earth with the
Trinity. but it won't be so easy to dispose of
the Holy Cross" ''Boys, boys" here inter-
jected their mother aghast what are you talking
about2 Are you mad, to speak thus of sacred
things?" 1t took fully ten minutes to convince
her that they were merely discussing the
relative merits Of their base ball teams, and
titles to boys colleges is shattered beyond hope

Fast Riding In the Parks.

East riding in the parks and upon the high
ways in this country is attracting unfavorable
comment and in England numerous prosecu-
lions have arisen from like actions" says the
official paper Of the league. 1--WE wish to put
ourselves upon record as against all such abuses
That the great body Of cyclists should suffer by
being condemned for the selfishness of a very
small body Of would-be or bona fide 'scorch-
ers' is unjust in the extreme, and we shall use
our influence to have it stopped. Arepresenta-
tive OF the Bicycling World was upon the road
iii Franklin Park the other evening, and while
riding comfortably along was passed by rush-
were unlighted and noiseless and a danger to
every one elsaon the road. We do not set our
selves against racing of any kind when properly
INDUCED in, but thoughtless scorchers ON the
public highways will soon become nuisance,
to the detriment of cyclists using the roads in
legitimate manner. Our city fathers are very
lenient at present, but how long they will re-
main so under abuse we dare not venture to
state"
