Maud Muller as a Wheel
Girl.

Maud Muller on summer day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed a wealth
OF large red freckles ana
health.
Singing she rode and her merry gee,
Frightened the sparrow from Ms 'fee
The sweet song died and vague unrest
A sort of terror filled her breast---
A fear that she hardly dared to own.
For what if wheel should strike
stone
The Judge scorched swiftly down the
road cE
Just then he heard his tire explode
He carried his wheel into the shade
OF the apple tree to await the r1ald.
And he asked her if she'd kindly loan
Her pump to him. as he d lost his own.
She left her wheel with sprightly jump
And in less than minute produced q
pump.
She blushed as she gave it and looking
down
At her feet onceh hid by a trailing gown.
Then raid the Judge as he pumped away,
:. Ills very fine weather we're having
to day"
He spoke of grass and flowers and trees
OF twenty mile runs and centuries.
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her boomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack-a day
The Judge remountcd and rode away
Maud Muller looked and sighed. All me.
That the Judge bride might be
any father should have brand ne"
wheel
OF the costliest make, the finest steel
"And I'd give one to ma of the same
design, =,
So that she d cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back as he cllmed
the hill,
And left Maud Muller standing still
"a prettier face and form more fair
I've seldom gazed at, | declare
Would she were mine, and l to day
Could make her put those blOonert
away.
But he thought of his sisters, proud
and cold,
And shuddered to think how they
would scold.
If he should one of these afternoons,
Come home with bride in pantalooni
He married wife of richest dover,
Who never suCcumbed to the bloomf rs
power:
Yet oft, while watching the smok'
wreaths curl,
He thought Of that freckled bloome'
girl.
Of the way she stood there, pigeon-toed
While he was pumping beside the Toat
She married man who clerked IN
store,
And many children played round he
door.
And then her boomers brought her 20.
She cut them down for her oldest boy
But still of the Judge she often though
And sighed over the LOSE that he
boomers wrought.
Or wondered if wearing them was sin
And then confessed, ''It might hav
been"
Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these leave pants TO
men,"

PUNCTURED BY A SNAKE.
THE STRANGE ACCIDENT TO A
YOUNG MANS BICYCLE.

The famous wheelman's path
from Port Jervis to Dingnan's
Ferry, N. Y, along the Delaware
river on the way to the water
gap, seems to abound with dam
gerous reptiles that seem to have
a special antipatly toward
cyclers. Newspapers have con-
tanned many marvellous stories
regarding experiences along this
route, but the latest and one OF
the most remarkable is related
by Clarence and Mortimer Hulse,
brothers, Of Middletown Of local
fame as racers. On Sunday, as
their story goes, they encounter
ed a RATHER on this trip four feet
in length. 1t lay across the road
III their path. The snake kept
his head elevated, and when the
wheelmen approached showed
fight by changing its position
more in their path. While the
two were debating what to dc
the snake started toward them
They both mounted and rode to1
| it. 1t struck at the leg Of the
older brother, but missed, buried
its fangs deep into and pune
tured the tire. The remarkable
part of the story is that Hulse
did not use the snake for a new
tire. But he didn't. He threw
it away and patched the tire
with commonplace tape and &C.
ment.

remember to prepare a

This will prove invaluable in the
sick room when it has once been
tested. Get clean fine sand and
dry it thoroughly. Make bag
about eight inches square, OF
flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew
the opening carefully together
and cover the bag with cotton or
linen. This will prevent the
sand from sitting ont. A bag OF
this sort can easily be prepared
and taken home for future use.
When it is required in case of
sickness it can be quickly heat
ed by placing it in the oven.
After once using this hot water
bottle or brick will never again
be used for warming the feet or
hands of a sick person. The
sand holds the heat for a long
time, and it can be tucked up to
the back without being uncoln-
Portable to the invalid. 1t is a
good plan to make two or three
bags and keep them on hand
ready for use at any time, and
one can be heating while the
others are in use.
If the eyes become tired and
painful because of the bright
sunshine on the sand and water,
try this method of resting and
refreshing them: Take a cup
brimful of water and add suffi-
cient salt to be family percep-

SO.ODO Of the latter have been armed

Those complying will be pardoned, ex-
..ept the leaders Of the revolt.
