GRANDMOTHER gave me this said
Matte, s'the day first left home. 1t
was ring grandfather gave her be-
fore they were married, and she has
always worn 1t, but she wanted to give
me something and had nothing elss to
give. She said must wear it all the
| time to remember her--as IL could
ever forget her-dear heart! But am
not used to wearing a ring, and Pm al.
ways afraid | should break it or lose il,
put 1t on to go home, so she would
see I wore it. That wasn't wicked de.
ception, was it?"
Mrs. Lawson smiled as she said: IT
am sure not" though the girls simple
utterances had almost moved her to
tears She glanced about the room, so
neat and orderly in its simplicity, saw
Matie's well'worn Bible lying on the
stand at the head of the bed, and, bend
ing over, she kissed the girls cheek.
II believe you and trust in You,
Matte, she said.
"oh, thank your! cried Matte, the
tears falling again. at makes me
happier than ! have been since the
ring was lost. ] do hope il will be
foundr
But days and weeks went by and no
trace of it.
Might as we'll look for needle in a
haystacl< as to hunt for it further"
Judge Lawson said, and everybody con.
cerned had nearly given up all hope of
ever seeing it again.
One raw April day Jacky had been
off in the maple woods to sugaring
and came home just at sunset, damp
and cold. The lounge behind the coal
steve was always her favorite warm
ing place, so she sought it at once and
sat there resting and warming herself.
The level sunset shafts shot in at the
west window and glanced across the
sheet of zinc under the stove. AS
Jacky looked down she saw In the sun
light the faint impression of small
circle on the zinc close to her feet.
An inspiration seized her. STOPPING
down, she pulled up the loose edge of
the zinc tritle, reached her fingers
under and drew out the lost ring, as
good as ever, save for the dust it had
collected
The whole thing was plain. She
probably pulled off the ring with her
mitten that night; it fell unheard to
the floor, and in moving her feet about
she pushed it underneath the zinc.
There it had lain till many feet rub.
bing over the zinc had made a brirht
place just the shape of the ring, which
finally betrayed its hiding place.

RUNNiNG-FoR BOYS.

Every American boy should learn to
run. In Greece, in the days when men
and women took better care of their
bodies than they ever have since, every
boy, and girl too, was taught to run,
just as the American girl is taught to
read. And as far as we can Judge by
the statues they have left behind
them. there were very few hollow
chcsted, spindle-legged boys among
the Greeks. The Persian boy was
taught to speak the truth, run, ride
and shoot the bows.
The English boy is encouraged to
run. In fact, at some of the great
English public schools, boys of thir.
teen and fourteen years of age, like
Tom Brown and East at Rugby, can
cover six and eight miles cross-coun.
try in the great hare-and-houn runs.

than any amount of weighJ. pulling or
| dumb bell work in stuffy gymnasiums
would give him. See the result-the
English boys, as whole, are a
stronger set than we American boys.
Ecery English school-boy is to some ex.
tent an athlete. And that is what
American boys should be. Not be-
cause football, baseball and tennis arc
valuable in themselves, but for the
good they do in strengthening boys
bodies.
BY playing ball every day for hours
in the open air; by exercising his arms
back and leg muscles in throwing, bat
ting, running and sliding; by going tc
bed early and giving up all bad habit,
in preparation for the games, a boy
stores up strength, which he can draw
on all his life long--that is why ever,
boy should be an athlete. But mo-
every boy can play football or base

THE CYCLE CRAZE
THIS CITY HAS 1T LIKE
-sss OTHER CITIES.
Cycling is Good for the Health
---Wheels are Plentiful.

|ei% 1u 10 uOU du uuCOmuOu oISH0 OA
q pleasant evening to see a good
sized army of bicyclists spinning
around Worthington's superb half
mile track. An ADVANCE reporter
had the pleasure the other evening
Of being present at one of their
semi-occasional practice meetings,
and was fully convinced, by the
fast time made by some of the
local riders, that if there is a
bicycle meet here this year, that
the boys are not going to allow
many of the prizers to 60 out Of
town. The track is in fair condi-
tion, and with the proper amount
Of use and some ''rolling'' will be
one Of the fastest tracks in this
corner of the state.
.S The number of wheels in use in
Worthington this year is SO much
larger than that Of last season,
Lsrs sig Is u nos 81 quest " That
Worthington has the bicycle craze
with the rest of the cities in the
universe. One thing is certain,
never has greater interest been
manifested in this city in the
subject of cycling than is awakened
this season. The dealers handling
wheels report larger sales.
One reason, and we think the
principle reason, for such activity
in cycling is the cheapness of
frst-class machines. $500 buys
the best wheel on the market.
This price has enabled many to
own wheels who would have had to
gone without the bicycle had the
price remained where it was last
season. It must not be imagined
that the reduction in price has in
any way curtailed the improve
ments in the construction of
wheels this years. On the con-
trary rarely have move practical
imnrovements been made anv
season than this, in the way Of
making nearly the ideal wheels.
To the man of sedentary life
who finds walking up and down
the same streets and by the same
shops every day irksome to the
last degree, there is no sport that
is so gentle and at the same time
so exhilarating as riding on a
wheel. The realization of this
fact has come rather slowly, but
no one can have failed to note that
it is making tremendous headway
Just now. Everybody is talking
bicycle. The scoffers of last year
are now the most jealous enthus-
lasts over this form Of exercise.
All this fresh interest in this
sport is a good thing. Anything
that will take our overworked,
nervous Americans into the open
air and give them pleasurable exer-
else is a good thing. Whatever
will give the young clerk some
thing to do in the long spring and
summer evenings besides hanging
around; any sport that will keep
the cheeks ruddy and the nerves
steady is good thing. The
evidence is abundant that the
bicycle is only at the beginning of

Street lighting cost during the year
for lamp lighter eight months at SIS
per month, $12O; for oil, $4s.70; for
repairs, $25; total, -$l93.70.
The water works does not make as
good a showing as we would wish, as
during the dry season of the past
year our supply got SO low that we
had to resort to other means of sup
ply than the wells and reservoirs. Af-
ter careful investigation it was de-
cided to put in "a filter which was
done. to be used only when the wells
and reservoirs would not supply the
demand, same costing between 5000
and $500. In the meantime we had
to keep the pumps running day and
night to supply the demand and keep
the tank full in case, of fire. This
necessiated the hiring a night engi-
neer. which cost over $lOO extra. We
also put in three new fire hydrants at
the corners of First, Second and
Third avenues on Ninth street at a
cost of about $50.
Another expense which will not
occur again for few years was the
painting Of the water tank and build,
ing the platform at q total cost Of
s$165. which amount was charged to
the operating account.
The amount of coal used at the
pumping station was in excess of
previous years owing to having to
keep the pump going both day and
night during the dry season, before
the filter was constructed. Coal cost
during the year for pumping sta
tion $696.67. The revenue from the
railroad company was about $3.50
less the past year than it has been
any year heretofore.
We have on hand as per invoice of
superintendent of waterwoiSs filed in
the Office of recorder, tools and ma
terial to the amount of $576.2l; $46l.-
so of which was purchased during the
year ending March rs, 1895.
The outgoing council leaves, be-
sides their best wishes for the success
of the incoming council and the
future prosperity of the village of
Worthington, $ll96.98 in cash which
with the water rents coming in will
safely tide them over until the June
settlement and we hope for favor
able year for the water works. There
will not be much material to buy ow
ing to the goodly amount on hand,
unless the council sees fit to make
extentions or Improvements as is ask
ed very frequently by the citizens,
which has heretofore been done when
to the judgment of the council such
extentions or Improvements would
from the revenue pay the interest
on the investment.
Respectfully Submitted,
A. L. JOHNSON, Recorder.
