Coughlin, for his attempted protest
against bloomers, in the city council,
says writer in the Times Herald. Not
bloomers in the city council, either, but
on women riders of the wheel. The lady
is sure the alderman ''is young, brave
and handsome" or he would never have
dared to take so manly a stand" To
avoid the Scylla of bloomers the pious
dame has fallen into the Charybdis of
"Bath House john" The lady goes on

rational amusement is evident. She re-
minds one of the author of book called
Africa and America Described, published
in lS47, in which the author speaks of
New Orleans as "a very wicked city, filled
with amusements.'
If the vlrtuous lady knew how hard it
is earlier than at an advanced stage to
converse even with ones companion on
a bicycle, to say nothing OF gazing into
his eyes, and if she were aware that one
squeeze of the hand might result in a
dangerous, nay, even fatal, somersault
over rearing bicycle, and that only ex-
perts can ride near enough together to
be very confidential and then only when
both wheels are geared exactly alike, and

even then concentrated on keeping the

The Abuse of Bicycling

Whoever has glided along smooth boule-
wards or pleasant country roads on the
swift but tractable steed of the pneumatic
tire knows we'll the thrill and pleasure
of bicycling and its merits as an outdoor
exercise. The number of enthusiastic
wheelers is increasing by thousands every
year. 70 countless pale cheeks and list
less eyes the exercise Is bringing the
glow of health and the light of keen en-
joyment. 1t cannot be questioned that
the bicycle possesses the potentiality Of
immense good, and for that reason it is
all the more to be regretted that abuses
should spring up in connection with it
which threaten to make the use or the
wheel a public nuisance of great propor-
tions and in many cases positive mem
ace to life. A fatal accident to cycliist
in New York City recently, and innumer-
able other serious mshaps. call atten-
tion to the fact that reckless riding is
fast becoming the rule, particularly
among boys and men. With the easy
confidence resulting from proficiency
they wheel rapid and devious course
among vehicles, forgetting that to many
horses the bicycle is mysterious appar-
ltion, and is apt TO cause them to shy and
plunge, with danger to both the rider and
those in the carriage. An ever more
Objectionable feature Of the riding OF
many is the habit of leaning far over and
thoroug gRfares at high rate of speed.
with eyes fixed upon the ground, and APP
parently obliyious of surroundings. Pub
lie indignation will surely be aroused and
bicycling denounced unless this heed
lessness for the safety of others ceases:
1t would :be a pity if the very best OF
sports and exercises, and one moreover
that is adapted and beneficial to women
as to men, to girls as to boys, should fall
into disrepute because Of the thought
lessness of some of it's followers. 1t is
probable that public bicycle paths, which
have already been provided in few
cities. will become general; but as yet
the rider must use the road common to
all vehicles. He has a right there and
drivers of horses must give him room !;
but it especially behooves him tc be care.

Something to Know

"What about bells?" asked another

'For convenienc a bell should be near
the handle bar, as the average rider is
compelled to hold the bar and ring the
bell at the same time. Some people
have them near the steering rod, but it is
awkward for any but an expert to ring
them when there. Bells can be purchas-

And thought the world cruel place.

And thrilled with joy to see her face.

And gave me kisses-nigh score,
