There are people with peculiarities
that make them a mark for the target
of public derision, and yet under those
peculiarities lies a substratum of worth
and spirit of self-sacrifce and de.

of our city bicyclers was that of Messrs
Otto Helmold and Albert Palmer re.
Gently, when they rode from here tc

on the land cleared last season on the
south edge of the hill back of High
street.

the place recently with a party offriends.
AS soon as seated he looked over the
guests leisurely and remarked, 'By jove
