winner will also take in trust the

Speaking of his chances, Gaudaur

UNEXPECTED PUNCTURES.

1t may be truly said of the novice in
lis first experiences on the road that
he leaves no stone unturned in his eff
forts to become proficient
An eastern wrench concern has a
man travelling for them whose name,
very appropriately, is Grip, and whose
initials, strange to say, are J. A w.
A man was recently arrested in
France for using a pneumatic pump 70

to pullets evidently was not relished by
Frenchmen.
On May IA, IL and "a the Grand Prix
of Florence, Italy, will be run. The
event is open to all professionals; first
prize 5000 francs (s1,0OO). Consolation
prizes are also being put up. Johnson
is expected to compete.
A Kansas philosopher, whose ac-
Quaintance with cycling is limited, thus
voices his opinions: I'VE should think
there would be as much hugging in
teaching a girl to ride a bicycle as in
teaching a girl to skate or to waltz"
If there has been any doubt about
the ubiquitous bicycle having the right
Of way, that doubt is now definitely
disposed of by the decision of an In
diana circuit court jury, which 1as
fined man $100 for allowing his dog
to bite wheelman
While the skirt and the bloomer are
wagging that inevitable struggle for
existence that comes sometimes to all
things of earthly origin, woman can
wear what she pleases-only be sure
that it is what she pleases pray
for the survival of the fittest.
The Spinning Wheel is the latest
woman's paper to make it's appearance
in the literary field. Although not a
cycling paper, as one might suppose it
to be from it's name, the editor hopes,
however, to make it hum through the
field of competitors.

MATCH BOXES FOR GIRLS.

Until this year the matchbox has
been the unquestioned, exclusive prop
erty of man. Never once did he think
of such thing as the fairer sex Dor
rowing it. He may have had a prs
sentiment of her laying claim to hiA
necktie, but his matchbox-never.
But the bicycle girl, who makes
whatever she wants possible, has now
laid siege to mans matchbox. If she
contemplates riding at night she needs
matches to light her lamp, and neces-
sarily she must carry them in match
box
That is the reason that there are any
number of new matchboxes this year
which are similar and more dainty than
anything in this line ever seen before.
'Do the girls buy them?" a promi-
nent jeweler was asked. To which
question he answered.:
Eyes, indeed. The smaller sizes are
made particularly for their special use."
The prettiest of the new matchboxes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enameling either
takes the form of college or yacht
club flag or it resembles a hand
painted miniature showing a girl on q
wheel or the head of a dog. Many Of
these matchboxes are made with a con-
cealed recess for photograph. It In
only when a certain spring is touched
that the picture can be seen, so skill
fully is it hidden away.
The silver matchboxes, decorated
with the outline of tiny bicycle in
enamel, are also new and much less ex-
penSiVe.

A BOYS PRIZE STORY ON BONES.

The Junior League is a paper pub
lished enthusiastically, or whenever
it is convenient, by children, for child
rem, in aid of children" In the May
issue are printed a number of articles
that took prizes in recent story COM
petition, and from among these we
copy the following essay on Bones"
which took the prize in class V:
Bones is the framework of the
body If had no bones in me l should
not have so much shape as l have now.
If l had no bones in me l should not
have so much motion, and teacher
would be pleased, but I like to have
motion. Bones give me motion, be-
cause they are sometimes hard for
motion to cling to. If l had no bones,
my brains, lungs, heart and larger
blood vessels would be lying around in
me and might get hurt, but now my
bones get hurt, but not unless it is a
hard hit.
IF my bones were burned, | should
be brittle, because it would take the
animal out of me. If I was soaked in
acid, 1 should be timber. Teacher
showed me bone that had been
soaked; l could bend it easily. I
should rather be soaked than burned.
Some of my bones don't grow close to
my others snug, like branches to the
trunk of a tree, and I am glad they
don't, for if they did I could not play
leap-frog and other good games that l
know. The reason why they don't
grow that way is because they have
joints. Joints is good things to have
in bones. They are two kinds. The
ball and socket joint like my shoulder
is the best. Teacher showed it to me
only it was the thigh of a cow One
end was round and smooth and whit
iSh. That is the ball end. The other
end was followed in deep. That is the
socket and it oils itself 1t is the only
machine that oils itself. There is an
other joint that doesn't seem much like
joint. That is the skull 1t don't
have no motion. All my bones put
together make a skeleton SINE an
imals have their skeletons on the out
side. [ am glad I amt them animals
for my skeleton like it is on the chart
wouldn't look we'll on my outside"

1898, but the latter had an injured
thumb. This is Gaudaur's third visit
to England. In 1883 he went over with
Hanlan, Wallace Ross and Hosmer, but
although greatly admired for his beau
tiful style, Hanlan and Ross were too
much for him. In 1886 he rowed Beach,
the Australian, for the championship
over the Putney to Mortlake course, but
was beaten.
Beach beat Stanbury once and was
preparing to race again when he died.
Beach said he expected a lot of trouble
with Stanbury if they rowed again.
Stanbury stands 6 feet / inch and rows
at 1S1 pounds. He pulls a terrific
stroke. He has much the advantage of
Gaudaur in years. Stanbury's latest
victory was over Veg Harding, whom
he defeated easily in London.

Some help they gave the housewife;
For mischief, did not LACK
Work left undone, forgotten
Swept chimneys sooty black.
With impish, tricksy laughter
They stole the children's skill,
'Twere vain to plot their absence
They went at their own will.
If wearying of the burden,
The good folk sought to fit,
Behold among their treasures,
The cunning kobolds sit.
But quaint and gracious brownies,
Beloved by great and small,
Wrought on in iet,-fnished
The task too great for all.
Methought, a grave, sweet lesson
Lies meath this fairy lore.
The shadow of wrong-doing
Pursues US evermore;
All thoughts and words immodest,
We seek in vain to hide:
They still, outgrown, forgotten,
Unbidden guests, abide.
But if heart and speech and habit
Be pure, for angels fit,
Then helpful, lovely fairies
Shall by our fireside sit!
