social organization. 1t has more than
one hundred active resident members.
These are chiefly young professional
men and men of good positions in tho
various departments. There are also
about forty-eight nonresident MEM

place in September, 1886. On the low

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement ane
lends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
Ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well Informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

toward the end of the veranda, where
he had left his bicycle.
The girl buried her face among tho
cushions and groaned: II will never,

For moment she wcpt; then she re-
covered herself and would have called

Ing, spinning down the driveway out
of the park.
AS Van Spoke pedaled rapidly along
the smooth road that skirted tho
sound, his heart seemed to him to be
resting almost on the saddle of his
wheel, SO heavy was it. His, he felt,
was hard fate, Tor he loved Ethel
Wheeling with his whole soul, and
now it was all over between them.
She would not marry another for some
years Mt least. lie was confident that
it would be long time before she re-
covered from the effects of their scp-
nration.
Then his uncle could not last much
longer. If she would only wait for
him
lie heard a pling-pling and looked
up. Coming swiftly toward him was
another wheel, the rider of which
had his chin almost resting on the
handle bar as he forced his machine
along. Van Spoke caught sight OF his
face rs he passed and was so unstrung
that his wheel wigglcd violently and
then threw him headlong on the grassy
bank at the roadside.

and closets, and altogether has a very
attractive appearance, within and with
out. 1t is popular place, for MEM
bers have the usual club privilege Of
bringing their friends rs guests, and
many happy hours arc spent beneath
the hospitable roof, and in the cheer
full homelille rooms.
The membership is not now composed
exclusively of wheclmen, although the
large majority of active members are
experts at cycling and have their own
wheels. They have card parties, dances,
musical entertainments and public re-
captions. Their lady friends assist them
I-apon public occasions with -niano, -rr.-.
citSls. songs. ss1 5o5ssdMa duets. quartettes
and serylng refreshments. Altogether
the cftD IS credit, not only to itself,
but to the wheelmen Of the entire
country.
Bicycles are also used nowadays by
a number of newspaper correspond
ents. One of tho pioneers in iournal-
istic wheeling was William Eleroy
Curtis. He and Perry Heath, now
proprietor of Cincinnati paper, used
tandem cycle, and spent considerable
time together in their work. They made
great team, and are both successful
business men. j. A. Truesdcll, former.
" representing st. Paul daily, and c.
p. Austin, founder of the Press News
association, were early newspaper
wheelers. But to-day fully score of
diligent correspondents of prominent
newspapers traverse the city, going
from department to department, and
ultimately to the capitol, on their fleet
flyers.
Insurance agents, and even book
agents, use wheels in this city, and
many prominent business men havo
taken to this mode of travelling from
their homes to their stores. Apparently
the bicycles have come into our civili-
zation to stay, and seem to be be-
coming as necessary as telegraph wires
and telephones. SMITH ID. Fry.

George Van Spoke stole softly to his
uncle's room and seated himself on Il

Then his mind began to wander lie

pls-Iron Tramp for Tramps.

AT meeting of the Pennsylvania
board of prison inspectors in Lancaster
steps were taken which, it believes,
will put an end to the tramp nuisance.
Lancaster county appears to be their
favorito resort, as they have hitherto
been too well looked after, even in
Jail. The board directed the prison
keeper to purchase two tons of pig iron,
and every tramp committed for
longer period than twenty-four hours
will be compelled to take five hours
active exercise carrying this iron from
one end of the prison yard to the other.
All refusing to do so will be put upon

The occurrences of the previous day
had been blotted from the memory of
Reuben Tires when he greeted his
nephew on the following morning and
checri!y babe him prepare to accom-
pany him to the scene of the great
race, since he wished his dear George
to witness his triumph over the bla-
tant Springer. Van Spoke obcycd the
command. Ey ten o'clock the two
were spinning to the scene of the con-
test.
They reached tho starting point at
Speckled Trout inn some minutes be
fore the time agreed upon. The other
contestant, with number of his grand
children, was already on the ground,
as were several neighbors, who were
to act rs referees and officers The con-
ditions were amicably scttlcd-two
miles straightaway, on q bet of one
hundred dollars; the older of the rae
ers to have minute start.
A boy arrived to announce that the
judges were ut their post at the end of
the course. All was in readiness.
George held his unclc's sweater when
the time came for the old man to go to
the mark. The signal was given and
away went Mr.. Springer, his venera-
bic head bent low over the handle bar,
hidden from view by his back,
which was raised like the hump of
camel. A minute. Then off shot Reu-
ben Tires, his eyes fixed on the ground
just ahead, every muscle and nerve
strained for the trial to come.
Tho others followed, pedaling their
fastest to keep the racers in view. Van
Spoke took the lead, and soon left them
far behind. With beating heart he spun
along, striving to keep in sight of his
uncle. He could see his red jersey
plainly. Tires was gaining4s Then the
old man disappeared over the brow of

Spoke pedaled on.
They were in view again, spinning

Slowly but surely the red jersey was
going ahead of the blue and white. A
thrill Of family pride shot through Van
Spoke, for his uncle was leading by
two lengths, when the contestants dis
appeared over the brow of the next hill.
Tires was leading; Tires would win.
In the citation of the moment George
forgot his treacherous scheme of the
night before. Then it came back to
him with the thought Of what might
have been. But all was we'll His uncle
was on a peerless buster. With light
ened heart the young man pedaled on,
striving to be in sight of the finish, just
beyond the next hill.
Fast and furious he few up the long
incline, over the brow. He looked
ahead. There was the blue and white,
alone, just crossing the finish line.
And at the foot of the long slope he
saw girls figure bending over some
thing. He sped on and in moment
was at the fateful gutter. Bleeding
and unconscious, his limbs cntangled
in the wreck Of his wheel, lay Reuben

CANAIGRE IN ARIZONA.
Five Acres Planted as an Expert
ment-Development of Industry.

Fowler Bros. are now planting
five acres of canaigre as an expert
ment, says the Phoenix (Ariz. }
Gazette, and if this does well they
will probably engage extensively
IN that industry, grow a few thous-
and acres of this tannin plant and
erect suitable works for the reduc-
ton of it to tannic acid. While
they call 1t an experiment, from
the fact that they have not yet
ascertained just how TO grow the
plant most successfully, it has been
well demonstrated that here the
weed is indigenous.
They are planting three, two and
one foot apart in rows, with a view
of ascertaining just how to get the
best yield. They are also settling
some of the roots. to see if it will
not grow just as well that way.
The method Of growing canaigre
is very similar to that Of growing
sugar beets. By planting in the
early fall harvest comes in early
June, before there is possible
shortage of water, thus insuring
full crop each year.
The plant is harvested with a
pillow. Then the roots are gathered
and dried, after which they are
ready for shipment, or perhaps the
most practical way is to have a re-
duction plant on the grounds.
1t has been but few years since
this plant became well known, but
now it is almost certain to supply
the world with tannic acid. Only
a few days ago a farmer of this
valley had a set Of harness made, |
the leather of which was tanned |
with canaigre. Leather so tanned |
seems soft and does not harden by
being in the hot sun, making a
liner harness leather than the
usual product.
Four years has developed the
,anaigre industry until now it bids
air TO rank with mining, cattle
fruit-raising and growing
llfalfa.
