methods were deemed somewhat out of
order. 1t is due the twins to say that
they created sensation at least.
Among the members of the copgrega-
ton of Grace church who opposed the
twins and their evangelistic efforts was
ex-Alderman Z. W. Stanwood, of the
Thirteenth ward.
A few days ago the twins received a
check on the First national bank for
$25 incased in the following note:
My Dearly Beloved Twins: feel deeply
panied that In the past I have been opposed
to your efforts. To atone for my sinful
ways 1 inclose you check for SIS.
E. W. STANWOoD.
1t was therefore only natural that
the twins were surprised. Each seized
one end of the check and looked at the
figures upon it. Raising their eyes to
the zenith they exclaimed in mingled
establishment and surprise:
twenty-five dollarsl"
So pleased and so surprised were
they that they told Rev. W. C. McNaul,
pastor of the church.
Rev. Mr.. McNaul looked at the slip
of paper for a moment and then said:
perhaps the check is bogus"
The party went directly to the home
of Mr.. Stanwood. The ex-alderman re-
ceived them cordially and asked them
to be seated. They sat down and began
in chorus:
eve were so glad to receive your let
ter"
my letter." returned Stanwood in
surprise.
"And your check" added the twins.
"My check? 1 do not understand
you"
The letter and check were then shown
to the ex-alderman.

the pair.
at is not" answered Stanwood.
For the third time four eyes were
raised to the ceiling, and two voices,
filled with grief and disappointment,
sent forth this melancholy cry:

The question now perplexing the
moral twins Is: Who perpetrated the
diabolical plot? Who raised their
hopes only to dash them down in frag.
ments?
Two bicycles, manned each by a
moral twin, are spinning over the west
side, inquiring for the forger. As yet

How Manufacturers Test Bicycles.

Unless one has visited great bicycle
factory it is not easy to appreciate the
many delicate operations that the parts
of bicycle are subjected to, the many
tests that must be passed, and the hun
dreds of careful inspections that the
many parts must pass before they gre
considered worthy or good enough to
be assembled into bicycle of STANDARD
worth. Visitors to big mandatory
are surprised at the extent of the plant,
the perfect appointments, and air of
discipline that prevails throughout.
1t does not take the most inexperienced
long to see why it costs so much to build
a good bicycle. The most exaeting care
is required; the very best materials are
necessary in every part; skilled labor of
the highest order is essential to obtain
the desired results, and if any part gets
through the inspection-room and is

INCIDENT ON THE ALLEY a."
Trucuient Negro Passengers subdued by q

Friend of the Conductor.
On the alley 81" road one evening a
trio of negroes boarded a southbound
train and proceeded in way to cap.
ture the car they were in. They stood
in the aisle and INSTRUCTED the prog
ress of people coming and going out
at the different stations and were in
clined to be disputatious and quarrel
some with anybody who ventured to
criticise their conduct. One of them in
particular, the largest of the three,
was especially pugnacious, and finally,
when the conductor ordered them TO
take their seats the big fellow threat
ened all sorts of destruction to the
official, and defied him openly to lay
hands on him, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
The conductor passed to the next car
and enlisted the services of an acquaint-
ance of his, a "bouncer" at one of the
smaller theaters. This worthy weighed
about 240 pounds and was giant in
strength and size. He walked into the
car where the darkies stood, grabbed
the big one, who was at least half foot
shorter than the bouncer, and dragged
him to the door.
AS the car was just then Stacking up
at a station the bouncer threw the col
ored man clear over the gate and on to
the platform without waiting for the
guard to open the gate. The darby
sprawled all over the platform and his
two companions skunk to seats as the
bouncer looked back into the car. The
train went on, the two remaining "ter-
rors"- keeping very still.
Afterseveralstations had been passed
one of them spoke in subdued tones to
the other. All he said was: Dat sholy
was a strong man."

ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND EYESlGHT
Unprotected Lamps Found to Be Inju-
rious to the Eyesight.

The question of injury to the eyes
from electric light is being prominent
ly discussed by scientists, oculists and
laymen throughout the country. While
opinions widely differ as to the ulti-
mate injury likely to result from the
rapidly increasing use of electricity,
the consensus of opinion is that light
from uncovered or uncolored globes is
working damage to the eyesight of hui
manity. In a discussion of the subject
q London electric light journal, in de-
Tending it's trade, feels called upon TO
make some important admissions. 1t
says: ''It is not customary to look at
the sun, and not even the most enthusi-
astic electrician would suggest that
naked arcs and incandescent filaments
were objects to be gazed at without
limit. But naked arc lights are not
usually placed so as to come within the
line of sight, and when they do acct
dentally, whatever may result, the in.
jury to the eye is quite perceptiblc. The
fIlament of glow lamp, on the other
hand, is most likely to meet the eye, but
a frosted bulb is an extremely simple
and common way of getting over that
difficulty. The whole trouble can be
easily remedied by the use of properly
frosted or colored glass globes. In any
case, however, the actual permanent
injury to the eye by the glowing fila.
ment is no greater than that due to an
ordinary gas flame"
