The Chicago Record tells Ct girl
who was seized with the bicycle

vested her savings in bicycle.
Every morning she disappeared for
several hours and returned home
with bandaged fingers. torn skirts,
a banged-in hat, n sour temper and a
painful limp. The other day she in
vited the family to assemble at GER
tain riding school to see her perform.
She nimbly mounted, spun around
the hall twice, jumped OFF and on
with the agility OF young kitten,
and excited the admiration OF the
whole crowd. Then some officious
person said: Go around the other
way" She had always practiced in
the one direction, but such tribe
did not worry her, so she wheeled
around and rode off like runaway
cable car When size arrived at the
first turn there was n terrible crash.
a shrek, resounding crack made by
her head coming in contact with the
floor, and then all was still The
family had her taken home in an
ambulance. and she has already made
arrangements to have the machine
patched up and sold at half-price.

BUILT BY A JEALOUS MAN.
The story of Mount vernon's Strange
Police stat on.


Probably no town in the country
that boasts a police force has so odd
looking n police headquarters as
Mount Vernon. 1t is an architec-
tural wonder to the old settlers and
strangers alike.
The building is about Twenty-Five
feet long and twenty feet high and
about fifteen feet deep. 1t sets back
off the roadway about thirty feet, in
the center of a pretty grass-green
yard. A little picket fence runs
across the yard at the sidewalk line,
and there is gas pipe arch at the
entrance, from which hang, the red
police lamp, says the New York sun.
The house is of brick, with latticed
windows, and walls of unusual thick
ness. 1t is two stories high, with
three low-ceilinged rooms on each
floor. The entrance doors are in the
middle of the building, The entrance
on the ground floor leads tn several
cells on either side of the middle
room. The Offices OF the chief of po-
lice are on the second floor, reached
by flight of wooden stairs. They
are cosey, but far from roomy. The
chief has desk and sofa for furni-
ture. and a telephone behind his
back.
Chief Foley was asked the other
day how the town happened to
possess such singular-iooking
police headquarters.

piled, They leased this place be-

gave his eccentric fancy full play in
designing it. He had wife and
daughter and was jealous of both,
and would not permit them to receive
male visitors. He built wooden
fence nine feet high where that fence
out there stands. which completely
shut the house out from the view of
the neighbors. The wife and
daughter were virtual prisoners in
this queer house during his lifetime.
"A little path ran diagonally back
of the house to anothef cottage occu-
pied by another New York cngraver.
The two used to have what seemed
to be mysterious consulate ms, which
gave rise to the story that counter
feiting was being done in this

Forty-five Deering Irvine binders,

and almost hreat lessly at first, they

shoes. All the goddesses have the
fifth toe much smaller than the
others, and in every instance this
shows the snail-like twist so often
ascribed to the modern pointed shoes.
The ancient statuary to be seen in
New York, chiefly in casts. whether
OF male or female figures. shows
often that contraction of the toes at
the joints usually ascribed to the
wearing of short shoes. Even the
casts OF ancient statues OF athletes
show this popularity. A few mumml-
fled feet are very modern in form.
though they usually show the effects
OF the tight bandages wound about
the corpse.
Many paintings and statues of
several Italian periods tell the same
story as to the similarity of human
feet. ancient and modern. Such ma
tural decoration as have been pre-
served from the walls of Pompeii
show that the models of Pompeiian
artists had modern feet. The child
Jesus is pictured in many Italian
pictures OF 800, 400 and ~ years
ago as having the feet OF modern
infants. The same thing is true of
the feet in carvings, reliefs and the

Not only does art give small en-
couragement to the idea that pedal
deformities produced by footwear
have become hereditary, but the
modern infant bears testimony to
the contrary. Perhaps the feet Of
women suffer more than those of
men from iniudicious footwear, but
infants seem to inherit not the pccu-
liarities OF their mothers, but only

twenty to twenty five seconds OF time.
The six cutting tests with the binder
showed an average of only 2gs pounds
of draft. six tests followed in which
the machine was run In gear over the
tops of the stubble Just cut. This
test, which is known as rolling
draft, showed an average draft
Ct 2O7 pounds. The Deering
Ideal mower. a new machine
also fitted with the bicycle bearings,
showed n cutting draft in heavy grass
averaging only l25 pounds, and a
rolling draft of only o. pounds. The
remarkably low draft-about half the
draft of or linary machines-shown by
these figures for both machines was
carefully noted by the astonished
visitors as demonstrating the practi-
cability of the bicycle be rings. The
mules cut an acre of wheat in 221S
