Recently Sent From Germany.
Absolute denial is given by Agricultural!
officials to the report from Germany that
Chicago packers buy the most inferior

Personally, with veterinary inspector,
1 have several times passed through the
larger beef canning establishments in Chi
cago. My visits to those establishments
were always unheralded, and therefore
there was no special preparation made for
a general viewing OF their premises, and
their methods of slaughtering, cooking
and canning beef From those thorough

NO SEX ON WHEELS.
Bicycle Riding Can Be Neither Modest
Nor ImmOdeSt

Bicycle Riding Can Be Neither Modest
Nor Immodest.
Riding the bicycle has ceased to be either
undignified or conspicuous. Several years
agoa bishop denounced the practice by wo-
men as immodest and therefore immoral.
An immodest woman on a bicycle would
surely be immodest still. the wheel not hav-
ing any power to save her. but an inmodest
woman would be immodest walking in the
street or sitting in church or wherever she
might be.
The bicycle has nothing whatever to do
with niodesty or tmmodesty, with morality
or with immortality; and when the pious
bishop uttered his denunciation of the ma
chine and its use his intellectuals must have
been befuddled by too much pondering on
subjects too hard or too easy for him But
his dictuni has not counted for much for the
bicycieis growing in popularity every day.

minors should be withheld, there Is no

the breeze, and on the southern side
the band responded with "Dixie's
Land" Again, the northern side said
in their music, "lIail Columbia" and
yet the southern bands responded with
"Dixie's Land Again, the northern
bands played Yankee Doodle" but
the response was only "Dixie's Land"
And then chord Of "Ilome, Sweet
Home" was struck up on the northern
side OF the stream and the bands on
the southern side took itup, and twas
