Walter L. Geldert, the popular second
lieutenant of the Olympic Club Wheelmen,

fast for the Halladay-Temple scorcher he
has difficulty in getting the wheels to fill
them. Now that the first rush of the sea-
son is over, however, he is having slight
breathing spell. The beautiful finish of
this wheel has attracted a great deal OF at
tention wherever shown.

AS the 1st of April approaches all league
members should send on their renewals to
Secretary Abbot Bassett, II Pearl street,
Boston, together with the names of new
member or two if possible The League
of American Wheelmen will continue to
be a prominent factor in wheeling this year,
as it has in the past. The benefits to be
derived from membership in this organlZa-
ton are so many and varied that the an
nual dues Of 81 are but small outlay Tor
the return received. Free admission will
| be granted all league members to the great
est race meet of the year at San Jose, July
4. The weekly L. A. W. Bulletin and Good
Roads are sent free. Judge Kerrigan, the
league attorney in this State, will advise
any member gratis in matters per-
tanning to the league and general
interests, OF cycling. The touring
maps, which, in addition to the eight al
ready in the roadbook will make that book

mia highways. A large. number of local
consnls have been appointed all over the
State in nearly every town, who will be
glad to furnish information concerning
roads, accommodations, etc, to league
members whether they apply by letter or
| in person. In short, the advantages to be
gained by belonging to the league are so
great that no active wheelman should fail
to avail himself of them at once. Perhaps
this is best attested by the fact that now
the membership in the United States is
over 35, 600.

Wheelmen from many parts of the State
are looking anxiously forward to the great
relay race which will be held next Satur-
day. This event has been the principal
topic among wheelmen for several weeks,
and the club team which will win the con-
test can well afford to feel proud of achiev-
ing great victory.
The anglers are making preparations to
give the trout a surprise on Monday, but

Trap shooting is very popular this year,
and good days sport is promised those
who will attend the smashing of clays to-
morrow at the Oakland track.
Coursing, handball, baseball and athletics
are rapidly moving to the front in popu-

Angeles and Sacramento letters sports of
divers kind as not neglected in those cities.

In a certain rather pretentious but
cheap priced restaurant I witnessed q
scene which, though funny enough to
the outside onlooker, could not but have
been extremely notifying to the pro-
prietor. The proprietor was also the
cook, and he was engaged in industri-
ously frying number Of pancakes on q
griddle placed for show in the window
when a party of three who had just en-
tered ordered trio of eggs apiece. The
proprietor thereat seized nine of the
oyids from o box beneath the counter and
began to break them one after another
upon the griddle. He had reached the
eighth egg when, 10 and behold instead
of q yolk and albumen spreading itself
temptingly into view, came small con-
fused mass of feathers, minute claws, q
beak, etc. A look of horror spread itself
over the mans face as he gazed at the
unwelcome apparition, and then gazing
over his shoulder and seeing that his
action was unnoticed he swept the grid
die clear of its offending burden,
creased it anew and proceeded with his
work. o cookery, how many frauds

Original.

John Hookham Frere was a scholar
and man of much literary ability, but
one of those whose work, for some rea-
son, finds very slight hearing. But
even if his literary work should be quite
forgotten the stories of his absence Of
mind will live as long as incongruous
error continues to amuse.
One day he sat repeating some verses to
Mr.. John Murray in Mr.. Murray Office,
and his host became 80 interested in the
poem that he asked the poet to go home
with him to dinner and continue the
recitation. Mr.. Frere, startled to find it
SO late, excused himself. He had been
married that morning, he said, and it
was already past the hour when he had
promised his wife to be ready for their
journey into the country.
Another such story rests on the au-
thority of his wife herself. Mr.. Frere
had just been introduced to her at an
evening party and offered to take her
down stairs to procure some refresh
ment. He became SO interested in their
conversation, however, that he drank
the glass Of negus he had poured for her
and was about to conduct her up stairs
when she laughingly demonstrated with
him for having forgotten her needs.
"This," she said, convinced me
that my new acquaintance was, at any
rate, very different from most Of the
young men around usl'-Youth's Com
panion. -.

"Let Them Die of Thirst"

We learn in Boswell's delightful biog-
raphy of DR.. johnson how the great man
when visiting in different towns reveled
in joining in the local squabbles which
seem to be characteristic of seaside re-
sorts. When he was at Plymouth, he
found the inhabitants engaged in fierce
quarrel with a new town which had
arisen two miles off as n rival to the old.
DR.. johnson, it is written, well know
ing from his sagacity and just observa-
ton of human nature that it is certain
that il man hates at all he will hate
his next neighbor, concluded that this
rising town could not but excite the
envy and jealousy Of the old; he there
fore set himself resolutely on the side Of
the town, the established town, in which
his lot was cast, considering it as kind
Of duty to stand by it."
The new town consisted Of popula-
ton which had grown round Plymouth
Dock. They We're called the "Dockers''
and had meekly petitioned the mother
town to supply them with some of the
water with which Plymouth was amply
endowed. This not unreasonable re-
quest was sternly refused. DR.. johnson
was violent in opposition to such pro-
posal, roaring out: mo, no! l am
against the Dockers. am Plymouth
man. Rogues! let them die of thirst.

How q California Planter Amuses Himself
at the Expense of Innocent Travellers.
Eastern visitors in California are al
ways much interested in the olive plan
tations which, in recent years, have be-
come feature Of the most southerly
counties of the state. The lovers Of the
succulent fruit when picked and bot
tied for sale in the east and north are
always anxious to taste the olive fresh
and ripe. There is a popular impression
that it is sweet and delicious; but, like
many other popular impressions, this is
O delusion and a snare.
A few miles south Of San Diego,
where the railroad makes junction
with small one track road leading into
Mexico, large planter has taken adj
vantage of this delusion for his own
amusement. On the arrival Of each train
from the north numerous travellers dis
mount to wait the starting of the train
across the Mexican border. For their
benefit the planter has nailed box out
side of his fence just across the way
from the railroad station which he keeps
filed with nice, ripe olives. A plaoard
invites victims in these words:

Los. to Temperance Women.


The unexpected death of Mrs. A. c.
Thorp of Cambridge will be deeply felt
in the Woman's Christian Temperance
union. She had been prominently iden-
titled with the work not only in Cam
bridge, but in the state at large. When
she went to California some time ago,
she took with her her enthusiasm for
this work and met with very cordial
welcome from the union workers there.
Though she went for refreshment and
rest, she was not content to be idle. Sho
was charmed with the magnificent seem
cry of the Pacific slope and wrote Of 1t
In the most glowing terms.
Mrs. Thorp was interested in many
social movements, and her home in Cam
bridge received many of those who were
engaged in promoting them. The Wom-
ans club in Santa Barbara, CAL, gave
her very hearty greeting. For their
meeting she wrote some verses express
ing her keen appreciation of the delights
of the country in which she was sojourn-
ing. They also reveal much Of the deep
religious and poetic fervor of her mind.
There is in them, as it now seems, almost
a hint of premonition of the end. She
wrote that "the old were seldom weary"
and that 1.-THE fainting spirit rallies as 1t
takes its fight above" almost as il con
scious that she was soon to take her de-
parture, in a ripe old age, from the land

Vegetable Salads.

Vegetable salads are among the most
acceptable dishes that can be prepared
for summer repast. They tempt the
appetite and impart flavor to the rest
of the meal. While the art of making
ard serving them is very simple, care
should be taken in their preparation.
The dressing for variety Of vegetable
salads is the same, yet different favors
may be delicately added, always being
careful that one does not predominant
over another. 1t is very important to
have only the best ingredients. as wilted
vegetables and inferior seasoning will
not make good salads. The quantity Of
oil to be used is rather difficult to decide,
but two tablespoonfuls to one of vinegar
is the usual proportion for plain dress
ings, while more is required for mayor
naise.
Lettuce salad should be dressed only
with oil, vinegar, pepper and salt.
Salads are rendered much more at
tractive when prettily garnished with
fresh green leaves, vegetable blossoms,
rings Of hard boiled eggs, sliced lemons
and fancy designs cut out of radishes,
beetS or turn1pS.
The dressing should never be added to
the prepared vegetable until ready to
serve, when the salad should be stirred
as little as possible in order to retain its
freshness
The vegetables best suited for salads
are lettuce, asparagus, dandelion, celery.
caulifower, water cress, beets, string
beans, cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers
and tomatoes Bazaar.

A tale is told Of Robert Bonner and
Of his belief in advertising. One day he
engaged whole page Of a newspaper

upon it over and over again. 1t must
have been repeated 5000 times upon
the page in the smallest type.
