A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO.


A bike 10 bear two single hearts,
To paraphrase at random.
Should widely differ in its parts
From an ordinary tandem.
The wheel in workmanship should be
Suggestive of q wedding;
One narrow -Cupid's legacy
The her-Hymen's-spread
And it should have a diamond frame,
The gem of true loves yearning;
A lamp. too, with a steady flame,
Well trimmed and brightly burning.
A pretty bell you must provide,
With tones rich, sweet and mellow;
And TO insure pleasant ride
Select a nice strong fellow.
A single tube at last will tire
And cause no end of trouble;
For matrimon NAL bliss aspire
To have your tubing double.
The chain both light and strong must be,
With means by which to lock it;
Adjus ted firm, yet teDderly,
Around a heart-shaped sprocket.
On such a bike you'll ride through life,
A happy, jovial couple;
Twill bear you over care and strife,
And neither break nor buckle

Mr.. John Boyd Thacher thought due from
himself to the rank and file of his party
before facing the committee appointed to
notify him Of his nomination, presents
picture of such self qualification, renun-
citation of principle, lack OF self-respect and

that chose him for its standard bearer, the

Mr. Thacher's publication is n curio OF
political literature. aud ranks with the
recent effort of Senator Smith. OF New

more glaring. At the very outset he

vagaries of silver iInalics. the easy faith of

plunge rec cklt ssly into the vortex of financial
disaster and ruin. Mr.. Thacher may talk

From the facts brought out it would seem
that the United States service is one of the
hardest in the world to enter, even as a
private. The standard of the enlisted man
has been raised so often hat it is now harder
to become an ordinary soldier, with the pa Y
of $l4 month, than it is to enter any
branch of tile civil service.

the most careful con-
sideration at the hands OF the Dis
trict committees OF Congress. The
statement of Mr.. Paris as to the
needs of the department are those of
an expert, and, besides, based upon spe
-cific experience in the local field, and,
therefore, are not to be lightly disregarded
by Congressman, who are prone to believe
that casual observation qualities them to
pass adequate judgment. In their general
scope the 'cihef's recommendations make a
thrice told tale, for the insufficiency Of
the equipment OF the local fire department
is known to every resident of the Dis
trict over twenty-one years, and to a very
large number under that age. There may
be, as Chief Paris suggests, an implied
compliment to the efficiency Of the de-
partment in the failure OF Congress to
grant for its support the sums repeatedly
stated to be necessary. No doubt with the
means at its command the department has
rendered excellent service but conditions
may arise which would make it power
less to render the aid that might be needed
1t should not he necessary to send every
engine, hose reel, and hook and ladder
truck to any fire, even one of such masni-
tude as that on Louisiana avenue There
should always be a reserve force to be
utilized for service u the event of a second
or third conrIa grafton. Chief Paris knows
whereof he speaks when he says that
Washington should not have less than
twenty engine companies and eight truck
companies The character of buildings
nowadays also demands enlarged provision
for their protection and those that dwell
in them. A building six, seven or eight
stories in height needs a different service
in case a fire should break out in it from
one OF two or three stories. The protection
of the business section of the city is of the
utmost importance, nor should the needs Of
and the entire southea stern
portion of the District be overlooked.
Regarding the increase of the force Of
fire fighters everybody in Washington has
long recognized the need of it, Chief 2 arris'
in this respect are en-
tirely conservative and should carry no
little weight with those IN whose power
