Out in the woods " here the song birds clan
Far from the vandal tread of man:
Deep in the shades where the branches
meet
And scatter gifts at your wandering feet.
There is the place where our cares take
wing:
Where the zatyrs romp and the mixes sing.
Out in the woods-what's that you say?
Subdivided the other day?
And here where the squirrel chases
through
Is the line of the principal avenue?
Two dollars a foot for a little lot
In wilderness such as thls-Great Scott.

THE THOUGH KIDS" MATCH.
He Found Him In Somebody's Darling
Who Was Walking Fifth Avenue,

He Found Him In Somebody's Darling
Who Was Walking Fifth Avenue.
Reggy had a long line of gentle ances-
tors behind him, and it was just rs nat
ural for him to look tho nobloman as it
was for the other boy to look ode tough
kid of tho Fort ward, which was tho
insignia on Swipsey's escutcheon.
The tough kid was sitting in tho gut
ter when Rcggy came down the steps in q
suit fresh and well fitting. with linen i'm
maculate, as becomes q gentleman, and
his round, boyish face dignifed and ear
nest with its stamp of birth. The gutter
boys gaze was full of scorn, and his heart
swelled with a consciousness of injustice
somewhere that he could not define. AS
Reggy reached the sidewalk the other S
feelings found vent in a howl of derision.
Catch on to de dudel' jeered Swipsey,
following him down the avenue. Rcgi-
maid was putting on his gloves and took
no notice.
Jaw! I got suit just like dat homu
In me trunk. Say, I'd like to punch yer
face. See?''
Reginald looked annoyed and crossed the
street, the other close behind.
Too pretty ter fight, amt yor?"
RcSgy stopped, warm flush mounting
to his yellow hair.
Il can't stand this, - he said in apology
to his ancestors and began slowly drawing
off his gloves. Swipsey waited patiently
while the preparations were in progress.
He was gentleman, too, after the code Of
his Fort ward set and Scorned to take an
unfair advantage of his antagonist.
With GOODNESS and elaboration Reggy
took off his coat, folded it and hung it
across the railing, smoothod his gloves and
placed them carefully upon the coat, his
hat too, and without condoscendng to
speak word he stepped up to Swipsey,
and the fight began.
1t was all over in one round. There
was no referee but it wasn't necessary.
Swipsey knew when he had enough.
Probably those well shaped and well
kept hands never inspired such respect rs
they did on that occasion. Still with an
unrufllcd composure he replaced his hat and
his coat, took his gloves in his hand and
continued his dignided passage down the
avenue.
SwipsCy looked after him with dazed
eyes and then thoughtfully moved off in
the other dircction.-New York Herald.

Sash Weights.

The ingenuity of man in converting the
useless odds and ends of industry into ar
ticles of convenience and utility is shown
to advantage in the ordinary window sash
weights. Without these a housekeoper' S
lie would he burden, but few have any
idea of the materials Of which the weight
is composed. The one quality on which its
utility is based is weight, and almost ev-
cry metal that cannot be used in any other
fashion finds its way into the sash weight
Tin cans that are too far gone to be press
ed out for further preserving uses old har-
ness buckles, zinc bathtub Innings, rail
road spikes, rusty telegraph wires, broken
nails, shattered screens and hundred 9th
er remnants spurncd by the mass of .eople
combine there to serve an important pub
lie use.-Philadclphia Record.

WHY BICYCLES ARE PLENTY.
The Crop rs Being Sold by Installment, Sc
Every One Can Buy.

The democracy of the bicycle lies not so
much in the vast number of riders as in
the diversity of capital represented. Peo-
pie who never owned or expected to own a
horse now sport the most approved ma
chimes. They are, for the most part, people
whose appearance and calling would indi-
cate a struggle for existence.
Where do they get the money to invest
in n wheel or indulge in the sport at all?
one is tempted to question, in encounter
ing the army of wheclers on every side. A
bicycle csas for some hundred accessories,
more Or less essential, if not imperative, to
safety or comfort Then if the steel steed
has not the physical cravings of the horse,
it is at least constantly mourning acct
dents. When n rider is not settling an ac-
count in Doctors Office or an apothecary
shop he is likely to be discussing tires in a
repairing emporium.
The installmcnt company anticipated
this perplexity. The general vogue of the
bicycle in New York has unqucstionably
been precipitated by manufacturer who
sells wheel on one years time. For a
wheel that retails Mt SIS this manufactur.
er asks $50. The purchaser deposits the
extra So as a guarantee The remaining
$50 is then divided by ~, leaving a
monthly installment of 1925. Before the
wheel leaves the establishment, however
the purchaser must sign a legal agreement
and secure for indOrser OF same property
holder whose property may be reached by
process of law. This secures the manufac
turer from all loss. At the expiration OF
the year the purchaser finds himself sole
owner of good wheel for about the same
amount of money he would have expended
had he rented a machine for the SAND
length of time.
The costume is another outlay. A good
cycling suit costs at least SIS, not includ
ing leggings Heather stockings" sweat
er, gloves, ETC., which easily swell the sum
to $25 or $50.
"Had so bicycles, instead of so horses. :"
said the oldest liveryman at Port Chester.
81 could rent them at 25 cents day and
make more than 1 do now with my livery
stable. New York Herald.

privileged prisoner at Vincennes. One
day, nearly ten years after his escape
from the tower, he dashed past the senti-
nels and disappeared in the crowd gath
cred by the uproar. Outside the gate he
offered himself for arrest to the single
guard, but suddenly disarmed him and
hurled his musket some rods away, then
ran and hid in a park. After hours of
wandering he entered Paris and found
asylum with two girls who had be-
friended him in prison.
At the end of few weeks of rest his
daring spirit once more brought him
into trouble. He wrote to the governor
of Vincennes asking him to interfere for
his pardon, and also boldly went in per-
son to two ministers of the king to sue
for their protection. He was shortly re-

The Lunette sonchard.

There has been introduced of late for use
by the French army, it is reported, what is
known as the lunette Souchard-that is, q
powerful binocular glass for determining
the exact distance Of an object from the
observer. When the glass is in focus there
are interposed by n movement of the fin
gers between the eye and the object two
prisms of Iceland spar; then there are
brought into the field of vision two images,
the one being the real object the other a
smoky facsimile in line with and at the
rear of it, the second image being more ele-
waited as the distance is greater. The OBJ
ject which serves for the adjustment of the
glass is either "a soldier of ordinary stature
or one on horseback. II the head of tho
real image reaches to the shoulder Of tho
facsimile he is distant just 300 meters,
