A Standing Cavalry Order.

An old cavalryman says that horse
will never step on man Intentionally.
1t is a standing order in the English
cavalry that, should man become dis
mounted he must lie down and keep
perfectly still. If he does so the entire
troop will pass over him without his
being injured A horse notices where
he is going. and is on the lookout for a
firm foundation to put his feet on. 1t
Is an instinct with him, therefore, to
step over a PROSTATE man. The injuries
caused to human beings by runaway
horse are nearly always inflicted by
The animal knocking them down, and
lot by his stepping On them.-Boston
Herald.

Among the men who early felt the benefits
O. cycling, and did not hesitate to cEnend
money, is Colonel Ben. s. Lowell, OF Boston,
Treasurer OF the John 2. Lowell Arms Com
pany. of that city. Their firm namo has
been a familiar one for over fifty years, hav'
ing been established in 1910. doing sport
ing goods and gun business. Baing in q
kindred trade. it was but natural that they
should engage in the making and selling OF
BICYCLES. Their success has been unbOunded.

not possible to have done that without cost,
and considerable one, too, as readers OF
current literature will admit, for have not
all of us encountered the symbolic words
'Ioyell DiamondsY TO estimate the gross
amount that has been expended for advertls-
ingwOuld he n difficult task. but 1t is sud that
considerably over S10n.0O0 was spent by
them during 1894. All the big Eastern dailies
had entire pages which cost lots OF money,
and the magazines filled mauy pages exploit
ing Lowell Diamond Cycles.
Can it bc wondered ut, then, That cycling
has become popular. when men like Colonel
Lowell spend such sums TO make IT so!
Colonel Lowell is Treasurer Of tho John p.
lowell Arms Company. and is q man OF are
business attainmcnts, acquired by long eX-
perience and an SWitud0 possessed by lew.
