Some wonderful and daring feats

strength In their exercise. In those
says they were bent ON speed over pc
destrianism, and worked hard to push
their wheels. Today, however, the
bicycles are very light, and it is really
easier to propel them than it is TO walk
long distances.
When the velocipede came here from
France, the capital city was unpre Hared
for it. Our streets were cobble-stoned.
They were either muddy when wet, or
full of ruts when dry. Hence the We
locipede became popular in all other
cities before the people here undertook
to use them. But, with the develop
Inent of our beautiful citv, with its
hundreds of miles of smooth concreted
streets, the modern bicycle has become
popular. Men and women use the wheel
nowadays, and many a family has dis
carded the old horse and buggy for the
silent steed. The introduction of cable
and electric ears, supplemented by the
popularity of bicycles, have combined
to drive horses out of the market, and
they are SO cheap to-day that almos'
any man of moderate means could at
ford one; but the wheel is generally
preferred.
We have many visiting clubs of bicy
clers from all parts of the country
every year, and our city is properly as
well as popularity known as 1.-THE wheel
mems paradise" The smooth asphalt
pavements in all parts of the city make
the best possible roadways for wheels,
while the wide streets give plenty of
room, and the usually mild weather
makes wheeling a pleasant exercise at
almost any season of I'll. ear. Rain
rolls off of our streets 80 rapidly that
within half an hour after a shower
they are as dry as ever and glittering
as glass. The roadways leading into
the country are SO carefully macadam-
lied and so heavily rolled that there
is never any mud to speak of, and the
only time when it is impracticable for
bicyclists to be out is during the very
brief periods when snow Is on the
ground. 1t is easy to wheel to the sol
diers' home, and there, amidst the
trees, there are miles of hard roadway.
Over hill and through dale, past Tonu
ments, brooks, lakes and over Is idges,
the young men and women spin from
early morn till dewy eve, without let
or hindrance.
This is essentially a city of offices,

HONOR TO PARENTS.
&c Il Inspired by Love. Confidence ans


/ Respect
i It was an interested and interesting
/ group that were discussing all sorts of
abstract subjects one day in the draw
/ ing-room of house where all things
that affect human welfare are brought
up for study and investigation. The
talk had turned on the utterance of
some celebrated man who had declared
that he was a good boy who always
spoke with affection and reverence of
his parents
1t is all very well for children to
honor their parents simply because
they are such, but the mere fact of the
parental relation does not in our opin-
ion furnish full and sufficient reason
in itself for enthusiasm unless it is
backed by those sterling quail
ties that clear-headed, good-hearted
and honest youngsters can ad-
mire and respect We think it is safe
to say that if more men and women
would make themselves worthy of the
love and confidence of their children,
they would be much more likely to get
them. Little ones have extremely
keen eyes and sensitive dispositions
and temperaments They know very
well whether their parents are up to
standard or entirely lacking in the
qualities that make them worthy of
esteem and confidence. 1t is scarcely
worth while TO argue with child on
such things. Love and respect can
never be commanded or forced. IL
parents are honorable, upright and
just in their dealings with and in the
presence of their children, they will
have little to complain Of
Not long since a Young man was ar
raigned before judge in a western
state, and charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses- The
court asked h ow he came to fall into
such bad ways. He appeared embar-
raised and troubled; but the judge in
sisted on an answer, asking him direct
ly how it happened that he thought
such course to be right. He finally
admitted that he began such practices
because he thought it was smart to do
so, and, after some cross-questioning,
said that when he was youth his
father was very fond of sharp prac-
tices in business and generally man
aged to get the best of the bargain
He was tremendously elated over sue
cess, and used to boast in the family
how he got ahead of the man with
whom he was dealing.
The boy had followed the same
course in playing marbles and trading
with the boys He seemed to think he
had done a very bright thing when he
succeeded in getting fifty dollars from
a man on false pretenses. His moral
sense was evidently not at all keen,
and on his own showing he was under
direct obligation to his father for
teaching him the way to defraud his
fellows.
There is very broad and deep moral
to this incident. and one that parents
ought never to lose sight of. Whether
they are setting the proper example
before their children and teaching
them TO walk in the ways they should
go instead of leading their minds to
dwell on sharp tricks and smartness, is
a matter of infinite importance.-N. Y.

The saying, appearances often de

woman inside it. This is why dotted

this summer. AS a matter of fact, dot
ted Swiss is not a bit cooler than

Swiss has been worn so much that il
was growing monotonOus, and il is
now so varied that one does not

grown weary of each others society all

He should be able TO ride, and row,
and swim, and dance, and il bit of a
conversational ability be added, he can
cut pretty wide social swath for a
little while.
He needn't be very much in earnest,
and he must be careful not to pay too
much attH1tion to any special fair one.
This is The difficult part of 1t. of

l know of a young. unmarried chap
who went in for the general enter
tainment" caper at summer resort
hotel not very long ago and kept it up
very we'll indeed.
But the charms OF black-haired
village girl with blue eyes were too
much for him. so he fell desperately in
love and was accepted.
He did not tell the hotel ladies of
this. however, for. as he confided to me.
he was afraid to do so.
He wasn't so alarmingly beautiful
that he need have worried as to the
result, as tried to explain to him, but
you know how vain men are.

and his inamorata in the woods. how
ever and overheard an appointment
for the following evening in the gloam-
ing
Back she scurried to the hotel and
told the rest.
The next night, directly after sup
per, eleven stylish girls filed out of the
back door of the hotel and took to the
woods.
Imagine the feelings of the young
man and of his startled village fawn
as the eleven stalked by them and said
in concert and with a brutal, clear
enunciation:
Good evening, Mr.. Jenkins! Your
wife is at the hotel. Y. Recorder
