BRAVE OAKLAND LADIES,
An Eight Days Wheeling Trip
Through the Noun

DOWN THE STEEP PIETA GRADE.
Beauties in Boomers Rode Through
the Mud and Astonished
the Natives.

Oakland boasts of two of the most in
trepid and handsome lady cyclists in Cal
ifornia, and they have recently returned
from trip through the mountains of Lake
and Mendocino counties that would have
daunted one of the sterner sex.
For eight days over hill and dale they
rode, enjoying every moment of the time,
even in the hours of danger and darkness.
Mrs. George A. Faulkner and Miss G..
Victoria Wilson, both veterans on wheels,
though not in years, left Oakland on May
%, each mounted on light Rambler, and
employing the ferries to reach San Rafael.
They started from that point for a iaunt
to Ukiah and through the Blue Lakes
country.
Both were dressed in boomers, Mrs.
Faulkner's being of tan color with leggins,
gloves and shoes to match, while her COM
panion's dress was of navy blue. They
carried small bundles containing articles
strapped to the handle bars, and Mrs.
Faulkner's weight and dignity were en-

Dead.

The services at the Howard-street Metho-

both morning and evening. Rev. DR.. Case.
the pastor, occupied the pulpit on both
occasions, the subject of the morning dis
course being "Christian Socialism"
The speaker touched lightly on the social
problems of the day, pointing out the
duty of Christians and the remedies that
should be applied to the existing evils. He
said that his remarks were only intro
ductory of the subject, and that later he
would go more deeply into the matter,
trusting that in the meantime his hearers
would weigh carefully the duty of the
Christian as applied to socialism.
At the evening services his subject was
the terrible disaster of the Colima, that
swept nearly 200 souls into eternity. His
text was taken from Revelations, xxi: !:
"And there shall be no more sea-"
In the course of his remarks the speaker
said: Mature has many voices; she is a
teacher of sublime truths. Sea and land
are wide theaters of human action. The
land has its devastating storms, its
deluges, its tornadoes and its still more
fearful earthquakes. In storm the ocean
hath its mountains; its surface breaks UP
and voice roars from its sunless caverns
unlike and more terrible than the sounds
OF earth, deeper than the mountain roar
and wilder than the cry OF torture from

The story of their travels is best told in
the language of Mrs. Faulkner, who sees

joking when we first mentioned the trip,

along the road viewed US when they
learned that we were alone.

How dare you do it?'
1--WE only laughed at their fears that
something would happen to US and went
on with an added sense of dignity and in
dependence.
1--WE made Santa Rosa, about fifty miles,
the first day and spent the evening with
friends. Then we wheeled on through
HeaIdsburg to Geyserville. where we spent
another night. Cloverdale came next, and
we pressed on and found ourselves at
Ukiah. Up to that time the trip had been

The rains, which were still falling, had
turned the dust to mud-mud knee-deep

and as we plowed down the mountain our
wheels went deep into it and spattered US
from head to foot, while the rain soaked
our upper garments. We were mud to our

had an idea that we were escapes from the

An Embarrassing Situation.

They are telling story at the expense
of a very charming young North Carolins
girl who lives in Washington, according to
the Post. 1t runs this way: The girl, as !
said, is charming, but. like great many
other charming people, she is poor. She
never has more than two evening gowns in
a season, and the ruin of one of them is al
ways a very serious matter to her. She
went to little Easter dancing party last
wrek, and she wore brand new white
frock. During the evening great, big,
asked her to dance. He wore no gloves,
She looked at his well-meaning but moist
hands despairingly, and thought of the i'm
maculate back of her waist. She hesitated
bit and then she said, with winning
smile: 'Of course, I'll dance with you, but
if you don't mind-wont you please use
your handkerchief % The man looked at
her blankly moment or two. Then q
light broke over his face. why, GER
tainly," he said And he pulled out his
handkerchief and blew his nose.
