The alarming increase of accidents to
bicycle riders this season has been q sub
ject of considerable comment. Last
year and the year before there were &C
cidents to riders and 10 those with whom
they happened to collide while riding at
q rapid pace through the streets, but this
season one a hardly glance over the col
umns of . newspaper without reading a o
counts of several of these mishaps. 1t al
most seems that the wheelmen had en-
tered in q compact to injure themselves
and others as often as an opportunity
presented itself, The reasons for the in
crease in the bicycle accident list are in
the first place that there are more wheels
than ever before, and in the second that
the alleged improvements In construc-
ton tend to accidents. The new style
wheels, with their pneumatic tires, are
without brakes, so that the rider cannot
stop as readily as formerly when he sees
that he ID approaching danger.
The construction of the tire is such
that were 1t supplied with q brake the
sudden and determined use of that ar
ticle would burst the tire, allowing the
air to escape. The new style wheels RIM
over the pavements so much more easily
than the old style ones that when q Wig.
orous young man gets astride of o o.
them he Ii seized with q desire TO 60 like
a racehorse, and he does. The combine
ton of swift riding and no brakes is, re
sponsibls for probably 90 per cent Of tbs
accidents to the wheelmen and the nor
tails who happen to get in their way. i
might not be a bad idea to regulate Their
speed by law, especially through the
crowded parts Of the streets.-Bostor

velope and labeled, ga long way after
Longfellow." To be sure, there have
been many trivial rhymes and jingles
written concerning the king of berries
the watermelon is a true berry and the
blackberry is not-but the anointed poet
of the watermelon has not yet begun to
sing, for exalted poetry must be serious.
That the advent of this singer is not
far off is likely, for, as the watermelon
has grown in Importance as an element
of agriculture and commerce and finance,
newspaper writers in many cities have
begun to deal with it as BELTS an article
OF SO much moment, and serious treat
ment in newspapers always precedes
treatment by serious versifers. Perhaps
the most notable production having the
watermelon for its subject that has yet
appeared is a FIVE column treatise writ
ten by a savant of st. Louis. This
learned writer has traced the watermel-
ON from the time of the Ptolemies down
through the pages of history to the bus
ting present.
Although the watermelon is undoubt-
edly a fruit that has been known to
man since and before the dawn of civil
Ixation, it was not until a few years ago
that its cultivation and sale were reduced
TO such a science as to place it ON its
proper level as regards other products
Of the earth. There are, however, fea-
tures of the watermelon business as it
i mt present conducted that grievously
pain the true melon devotee.
1t was only yesterday that | met a
citizen who, like myself, was among the
group of outsiders bossing the job of
unloading a cargo of watermelons on
one of the New York docks. A careless
longshoreman dropped a melon, which
and spilled its precious juices on the
planks.
"Drat the man. exclaimed my casual
acquaintance. There's another first
class melon spoiled. Why, sir, it Anglers.
me to see such unwarrantable lack of
IN in the handling of such noble fruit.
When / vas a boy, I'd have had my
jacket tanned to excess if I'd broken
sach a melon. But there were no such
melons where / lived, although we had
watermelons, and in comparative plenty
when We could keep the sinful sons of
a neighbors from hooking them.
81 was a deacon's grandson, and I lived
with my father, and he with his, in one
OF the backwoods townships of New York
state. My grandfather planted his water
melons n season in a patch of newly
cleared land away back in the woods.
He told no n where it was for fear that
the aforesaid wicked youngsters might
End it but and rob it.

On the question Of tariff, he stands
squarely Oh the platfoam, and IN
sists that the pledges made to the
people, and accepted by them in
the votes they cast, must be redeem

matter so disturbing the demogogue
is, that there can he no good reason
why a pension fraud cannot be in

any other fraud.
