This is a great country for crazes.
They sweep over the country like cy-
clones. Whence they come and whittier
they go man knoweth not. A few years
ago the entire country was in the throes
of the pedestrian craze. In every city,
town and village athletes were YEARLY
tramping around and around a sawdust
circle. while thousands of spectators ap-
plauded the dreary exhibition. Nobody
walks now that can ride.
Next we had the roller skating craze,
which affected both men and women.
1t, too, has gone glimmering, leaving a
trail of broken bones in its wake. The
bicycle craze is now upon us, and bids
fair TO become a chronic disease. The
men have had the red necktie craze and
recovered from it in time to laugh at the
suspender craze of their big sisters.

proclaim his awakening to his summer

His voice. for all its monotony, is in

whether he utters his thin, sharp chip or
full mouthed cluck or laughs a chitter-

row door.

Of the fence rails and forages for half

the top rail and climbs to a giddy ten-foot
