The bicycle road races are attracting
general attention, and though they are
the first of the season, considerable in
terest is being taken in them.

observation train. In addition to the
usual coaches, a number of open cars
will be attached to the rear of the 10

The train will leave promptly at 10
o'clock from the Butte depot, pulling
down to the road house, where the
scorchers will very quickly come into
view. The road is from this point to
near the hump, along the track. The
train, therefore, will keep up with the
racers. allowing a full view OF thier po-
sitions. AS the wheelmen climb the hill,
the train will shoot down the canyon
and unload the passengers in time to
see the finish of the race.
The train returning to Butte leaves

Ahead of the Game.

The old man is a great favorite on
Newspaper row; his only failing is that
he has asthma, which he has to drown
out occasionally. Last week he started
out to drown his hay fever on pay day.
When he left the Office he counted
among his possessions $25 his weeks
salary. Just what happened to him is
mystery, because he never gained
consciousness until he woke up in the
station house the next morning. He
searched his pockets-they were emp
ty. Eight o'clock came and the sta
uonkeeper came to let him out There
was no charge against him; he had
only been locked up to sleep it off. Sta
tionkeeper Collins called out Bob's
name, and then began to hand out
things that had been taken away from
him when he was locked up, of which
Bob had no knowledge. First his
watch, then $3.50, half again as much
as Bob had when he started out; then
a new suit of clothes, an umbrella, a
box of paper collars and basket of
grapes. Bob is still wondering where
they came from. But he entertains the
highest opinions of the police depart
ment and the board Of safety.-Louis-
vile Commercial.

Hanged and Vanished.

An English custom of not so long ago
was to hang smugglers on gibbets ar
ranged along the coasts, ard then tar
the bodies that they might be pre-
served long while, as a warning to
other culprits. As late as 1922 three
men thus vanished could have been
seen hanging before Dover castle.
Sometimes the process was extended to
robbers. assassins, incendiaries and
other criminals. John Painter, who
fired the dockyard at Portsmouth, was
first hanged and then tarred in 1776.
From time to time he was given fresh
