In spite of my speed that last half mile

months and my voice must have been
strange from emotion, his growl instantly
changed to yelp of delight, and he few

joy. While we wrestled and caressed, I,
vainly endeavoring to escape and get for

warmer, tenderer embrace and joy that
exceeded his. Then my father. wondering
what all the commotion was about, laid
aside his pipe and rushed forth to investi-

A Mayors Daughter Robbed.

To an outsider it would seem that the
height of lawlessness- reached in Chi
cago when Miss Grace Swift, daughter of
acting Mayor George b. Swift, was made
the victim of a daring robbery on one of
the busiest thoroughfares of the West
Side. About in the afternoon Miss Swift
was hurrying for home along LOOMS
street when two men suddenly slipped out
from an alley and seized her. The fur boa
about her neck was frightened SO that she
could make no cutlery, and her pocketbook
was snatched from her hand. Finding
nothing more, the men scampered away.
Miss Swift, though badly choked and
bruised. was more Frustrated by the nerv-
GUS shock than by her bodily injuries.

Reports from various parts of the
Presbytery were very encouraging,
and all indicated a satisfactory condi-
ton, both in spiritual and financial
sense. The membership has increas-
ed over all losses 250 during the year,
while the contribution to church
benevolences were considerably in eX-
cess of the previous year. There are
twenty-five ministers actively engaged
in pastoral work within the bOundar-
les of the Presbytery. Two lcentiates
were examined for ordination. J. w.
Mckenzie of this city and Rev. G. f.
Richardson of WoonsOcket were
elected delegates to the annual meet
ing of the Presbyterian General
Assembly to occur in Saratoga on
May 18th. An adjourned meeting of
the Central Presbytery will be held in
Volga on May 29th, and the regular
meeting will be held in WOOnsocket in
the fall.-Huronite.

People Who Make History.

The people who make history, who
achieve success or make their mark in
any line, are the people in whom
every one is interested: and when we
are interested in people it is an inn
mense satisfaction if we can know
just how they look. The unique
feature recently introduced in Demor-
est's Family Magazine is in touch
with this universal desire; every
month two pages are devoted to superb
halt-tone portraits, quite equal to
photos, and about cabinet size, Of
celebrities of every class and all eras,
which are printed so they may be re-
moved from the magazine without
mutilating it, and arranged in an
album especially designed to accom-
mOdate them. Everyone thus has an
exceptional opportunity for indulging
in the fashionable fad of collecting
portraits, and can make during the
year, at a minimum expense and with
no trouble, collection that would
cost at least 800 if photos were pur-
chased. "a word to the wise is Sutli-
Gent"

Across Asia on a Bicycle.

With no parade, and scarcely them
selves realizing the importance of
what they proposed to do, two young
American students started from New
York, June %, 1890, on one of the
most remarkable journeys OF the CEN
tury. Three years afterward lacking
twenty days, these young men re-
turned to New York, by way of San
Francisco, Arizona and New Mexico,
having CnCOmpassed the world. They
had travelled on bicycles no less than
1904 miles, which is said to be the
longest continuous land journey ever
made around the world. But this was
merely incidental; they were inspired
by higher purposes than "record-
breaking.'
Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, aged
twenty-five and twenty-four years re-
spectively, were graduated from
Washington university in st. Louis on
June l3, 1890. They had obtained a
thorough theoretical college-training,
and they wanted to see the practical
side of life and to study the peoples
of the old world. They decided to do
all of the travelling possible on BIZ
cycles, although neither one of them
had ever ridden wheel, in order to
see the countries through which they
passed more thoroughly, and to come
into closer relation with the inhabi-
tants. 1t never was their intention
simply to make a "bicycle tour around
the world" They were following the
example of the medieval scholars who
roamed afoot through Germany,
Brookings register. (Brookings, S.D.) 1890-1894, 1894-04-27

France and Italy. But they were to
cover field of which their prototypes
had never dreamed, and SO they called
in the bicycle to their aid.
The day after they received their
degrees they started out on their
journey, and a week later sailed for
Liverpool. After they had wheeled
through Great Britain, they perfected
their plans for crossing Europe and
Asia. The most difficult part of
their journey, they well knew, would
be that portion of the route which
lay through western and central China
and the desert of Cobb. BY the kindly
aid of Minister Lincoln, who endeav-
Ored to convince them of the dangers
that were in the way and to dissuade
them from their attempt, they OBJ
tanned a special passport from the
Chinese ambassador in London.
When they had seen southern Eur
Ope from better point of vantage
than a car-window, they set out from
Constantinople on their long, perilous
and arduOus journey. They were the
first from another continent since the
days of Marco Polo to cross the
Chinese empire from the western
boundary to the capital, Peking-and
and in many places they followed
close in the footsteps Of the great
| Venetian traveller. Civilization has
made but little progress in this region
Of the world since the thirteenth CEN
tury, and their eyes rested on many of
the self-same sights that awokc the
astonishment of the emissary of
Kublai Khan.
MessrS. Allen and Sachtlcbcn have
written graphic account Of their
nOple to Peking, and this will be pub
lished in The Century, beginning with
the May number. They met with
many curious and startling adventures
and these they will tell with a sim
pliCity and mOdesty as if they were
not unusual episodes in the rounding
out of a college education. They took
more than $500 photographs of seen
cry and phases of life that curious
European eyes had never looked upon
before, and many of these will be re-
produced.
The young men served, in meas
ure, as the advance couriers of Amer
lean progress. They bore the "stars
and stripes" strapped to the handle
bars of their bicycles, to people who
learned for the first time of its signi-
ficanCe.
