It Is Never Safe Unless You Are Sure of

IT is never wise. it Is never kind, to
''put on airs" and when those persons
who endeavor to clothe themselves in
vast superiority come to grief it is sell

especial sympathy in their discontinue.

1t was in the far-away tropic isle of
Hawaii and the sun was shining
brightly.
The scene was one ofnative grandeur.
Great trees lowered aloft to the sky.
Boa constructors and ostriches gam

element of animation. 1t was amid
such surroundings that two savage Ia
dies wandered aimlessly. says the Gin

GAMlES IN ROME.
Their Tactics in Extracting Coins from
FOREIGNERS.

Foreigners.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says that the street boys of
Rome have all the curiosity, slrewd-
ness and impudence of street boys in
general, together with some traits pc
culiar to themselves. They have a
sharp eye for foreigners. and have de-
veloped no little skill in extracting
coins from them. The Tribune's letter
writer says: got into dispute with a
cabman because he demanded G tip in
addition to his regular fare. While we
were talking little fellow of six or
seven years stepped up and said, in a
paternal, assuring tone:
''Sixty centimes is enough. sir. The
rascal is very impudent. Don't give
him any more"
In the same breath he asked me for a
soldo for the service rendered.
handed him a coin, laughing at his
grand airs. and he received it with a
condescending gesture. Then. as the
driver reached for his whip, the boy
made off, saying: ''I'll see you later"

urchin was at my side.
Eyes, sisnor, you are quite right; this
is the road to the Vatican. Give me .

to my self-respect.

claimed. as he trotted along at my side.

All this was uttered in tone Of pro-
found moral conviction, as if he cser-
ished for me the most disinterested
feeling of regret and sympathy. But
when the appeal failed, he dropped be-
hind me a few steps and changed his
tune.
''Just look at that American. One can
always tell an American by his dirty
boots"
That was too much for me. Rather
than bring disgrace upon my native
land gave the little imp the job he
was after.

Three hundred miles away. Blurnmer
was enjoying himself at the seashore.
He met a very charming and beautiful
girl, and, by way of diversion, he
sought her society as much as possible.
One day he came to the conclusion that
he was really and truly in love with
her.
From that moment Blummer grew
rapidly desperate, after tho manner Of
any man who knows his affection is
reciprocated yet feels that the situation
is hopeless.
One night. as they sat on a huge
bowlder and watched the glory of tho
moonlight on the ripping ocean, he
told her how much he loved her, and
heard her sweet voice confess mutual
attachment.
Then came the task of revealing the
truth, which he did in manly manner.
Of course she was shocked and dis
tressed, but she acknowledged she loved
him still
Would 1 were free man" he cried.
81 can be in short time" he added, a
sudden thought coming to him. MY
wife will not oppose separation. VIII

Blummer felt himself the happiest
man on earth.

uNLEARNED.

He is lovely just to look at,
With his thoughtful, dark brown eyes
His gentle face and shining curis-
But he isn't very wise.
Two birthdays he has counted,
Two dimples he can show;
Yet he's ignorant OF many things
That little babies know.
Though he talks in childish fashion,
He knows butpretty words,
And he says them in a voice as sweet
AS the cooling OF the birds
He smiles at everybody,
But he hasn't learned TO fret;
And angry looks ana pouts-
He doesn't know them yet
Oh. everything contents him.
So he's never learned to tease;
And kicks and screams-hes unaware
There are such things as these
But he's lovely just to look at
And TO cuddie and to pet,
For to wrigglc out OF loving arms.
He hasn't learned il yet.
Oh as at first told you,
rs isn't very wise;
Yet were We all as ignorant,

FHEELMEN ABROAD.
Sacramento Cyclists Swing Around
the Circle.
Increase of Interest in the Agitation
for Good Roads-rennis
Players at Gait.

Messrs. Epson and Ripley, of the Cap
ital City Wheelmen, returned yesterday
from a wheeling trip through Yolo, So
lano, San joaquin and Sacramento Coun-
ties in the interests of good roads and the
League of American Wheelmen.
They report that much interest is being
shown by business men and citizens in
these counties in road improvement, and
during the coming winter or spring
large amount of intelligent work will be
put upon the roads.
At Dixon, Suisun and Rio Vista the
wheelmen are among the leading citizens,
and their efforts are working up public
sentiment that will eventually produce a
good effect on the road system. Cyclists
may well feel repaid for the attention
they have given TO the matter and be
stimulated to renewed effort.
Active 'clycling clubs We're found at
Dixon {the Crescent Wheelmem and in
Suisun the j. X. Bicycle Club. The
Dixon club are arranging for an open
meet to be held Septem Der sd, and
county meet will soon be held in Suisun
on new track that is being laid out
Several wheelmen were found in Rio
Vista, and club will be organized.
The Sacramento Supervisors were met
at Walnut Grove. They were on a road
inspecting tour, and, from their express
slons Of opinion on road matters will un-
doubtedly keep Sacramento County in IL
front position in the movement.
Mr.. John Miller OF Walnut Grove is
specially interested in this important sub
lect, and will give it much of his time and
attention during the coming Road Con-
vention.
Mr.. Epson came very near having quite
serious accident between Walnut Grove
and CORTLAND. AS it was getting dark
Ripley set a hot pace, when Epson ran
INTO chuckhoie, which threw him over
the handle-bars of his wheel, landing him
at the bottom Of the levee. The only
thing that saved him from going into the
river was large clump of black berry
vines.
From CORTLAND to Woodbridge. via
New Hope, the roads were found in
splendid condition, but upon nearing
| Calf the rOadbed was found to be entirely
| different, with plenty OF dust ana ruls
s At Gait much interest is being taken in
tennis, there being two courts, one owned
by the club, the other belonging to DR..
Obed Harvey. Among the lady enthusi-
asts, Miss Smith plays an excellent
game, and Will probably some day be
seen in Sacramento in competition with
our lady champions.
During last winter the road between
Elk Grove and Sacramento was consider
ably improved, and at present windmills
and tanks are being placed at intervals
along the road. so that in very short
time the road will be sprinkled the entire
distance, thus making one good inlet to
Sacramento.
