scattered the village of st. Beatenburg,
with its wonderful view of the snow
mountains-th Jungfrau, the Eiger,
the Monch and a host of others.
lfound the ride down the zig-zag road
not such fun as had expected. 1 saw
the brake was not going to last if kept
on, so l had to walk most of the way
down. Coming to more level ground,
cycled gently into Interlaken, making
for the place where they sell Munich
beer, and there, over mug and sand
witch, on the main street, made fru-
gal lunch with the bicycle standing
against pillar of the veranda.
After smoke, l proceeded out Of
Interlaken, and took the south road that
borders the lake. This road is not so
good for cycling as the other, being
much more hilly, while the roadbcd is
more stony. l therefore walked good
deal, taking it very leisurely, and in
course of time 1 was overtaken by q
policeman who also was walking with
his machine. He asked me if had met
man on bicycle coming from Thun,
and told him quite truly that had not.
He seemed discouraged. and told me all
about the bicycle theft and the arrest
of the wrong man. He feared the thief
mad hidden in the forest until he and his
comrade went past, and then perhaps
took the steamer across the lake; or
the villain might merely have pretended
to take the north road, while in reality
he went by the south. Thus the police
man hoped to meet him yet. prom
Used to keep lookout, and the officer
went on.
When | reached Thun, and came to
the place where got the bicycle, I
found the man was in Interlaken, and
his wife, who knew all about the rob-
berry, was amazed to see the thief re-
turn the machine and place five francs
and his thanks on the counter. Fl
Iregret TO say that the apparent hon
esty of this action did not commend
itself to the authorities. They looked
on it as the ruse of crafty scoundrel
who realized that, so vigilant were the
police, it was impossible for him to es-
cape, and SO endeavored to throw dust
in the eyes of the wise men of the place.
l therefore had to pay the expenses Of
the chase and apologize to everybody
concerned.
Thus the bicycle at five francs day
was not SO cheap as had at first sup
posed.-Detroit Free Press.

In the year 1894, the De Kalb Fence Co.,
of De Kalb, ILL.,, doubled the capacity for
producing their lines over 1898 which gave
them an output of 20 miles per day. The
demand for their goods has been so great
the past season, that in order to be able to
supply their trade, they have been com
1894, which now gives them an output Of 4C
mics per day.
This in itself speaks well for their prod
uct and merits the attention and inspection
of readers and all that are in need of smooth
wire fencing of any kind. twill be to your
interest to write for their catalogue, which
describes iu detail their goods, comprising
the largest and most complete lines OF
smooth wire fencing now produced by any
one plant in the country.

Following Instructions.

The late Prof. Huxley, some years
ago, attended meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, at Belfast, Ireland. All the
savants in the town assembled regular
ly at certain hall. Prof. Huxley rose
late one morning, and feared he should
be late at the meeting. Coming out of
his lodgings, he hailed one of the Irish
vehicles known as an outside car, and
mounted it. Now drive FAST" he said
to the driver, "for I am in hurry"
Off went the driver at mad pace which
almost threw the professor off his seat.
and began charging along the road in
somewhat indefinite way. Presently
it occurred to Huxley to say, as he held
on for his life:
my good man, do you know where I
want to go?"
mo, yer amer" answered the driver,
cody; you didn't tell me where to go,
but anyway am driving fast!'-N. Z.

ENTER NOT BOHEMIA.
1t Is Country of Which Girls Should Not
Become Citizens.

Become Citizens.
Bohemia, which seems to you so at
tractive, in reality is a country of which
you should not become citizen. No
matter whether your friends call you a
prude or not, do not permit the social
side of your life to degenerate into a
free and easy condition where no re-
spect is shown to you as a woman.
In Bohemia there may be some laugh
ter, but be sure there are many tears.
In that land you would probably spend
all your wages in one day of festivity,
and be a beggar, or worse still, bor-
rover for the rest of the week. In that
land a woman buys one fine frock, too
fine for her position in life, and during
the working hours she looks untidy and
always suggestive, by her shabby inery,
of a gay girl, rather than well bred
woman, which is what the busy girl
should aim to be. In Bohemia it is
claimed there is jolly good-fellowship,
and nothing else, between men and
women.
You don't want to beta jolly good fell
respected, not only because of her sex,
but because of herself, and the free and
easy life in which man offers woman
cigarette, and she volunteers to get for
him something that he counts more
cheerful than cup of tea, is one which
my busy girl does not want to live. Ii
for no other reason this would be one.
In Bohemia all women must be young
and beautiful, and you are not going to
be that forever. So make for yourself
social world that will be enjoyable, that
will be pleasant, but where you will be
liked when youth and beauty have gone,
because of the good that is in you men
tally and spiritually.-Ruth Ashmore,
in Ladies' Home Journal.

LITTLE THINGS.

1t was only little thing for Nell
To brighten the kitchen fire,
To spread the cloth, to draw the tea,
AS her mother might desire
A little thing: but her mother smiled.
And banished all her care,
And day that was sad
Closed bright and glad,
With a song of praise and prayer.
twas only little thing to do
For sturdy lad like Ned
To groom the horse, to milk the COW,
And bring the wood from the shed;
But his father was glad to find at night
The chores were all well done.
II am thankful" said he.
'As / can be,
For the gift of such son."
Only small things. but they brighten life
Or shadow it with care:
But little things, yet they mould life
For JOY or sad despair;
But little things. yet life's best prize.
The reward which labor brings.
Comes to him who uses,
And not abuses,
The power of little things.

The owner of the bicycle on oath de-
clares that he thought l asked how
much the bicycle had cost him. lie
says he answered that he paid 500 francs
for that brute of a machine, made in
France, while understood him to agree
to let me have it for five francs day,
which was cheap. Twas in hurry to be
off, and was afraid he might repent his
offer, so l said it was all right and l
would take it, whereupon, without
further parley, l wheeled the bicycle
into the middle of the road, sprang on
it's back, and was off, leaving the aston
ished man standing by the door, too
thunderstruck, it seems, to make any
cutlery until l had passed beyond his
sight at the first turning in the road.
l pedaled serenely on, little realizing
what commotion had left behind me,
and the one funny thing about this
most regretable episode is that spent
an exceedingly quiet, peaceful and en-
joyabie day, not knowing l was pur-
sued, making no attempt to elude any
body, and yet eluding them in what
appeared afterwards to be by subtle
and crafty lodges. The magistrate
could not be persuaded that my sitting
on the veranda of a restaurant in the
main street of Intcrlaken, with the BIZ
cycle in plain view of everybody, was
not the brazen act of hardened Grim
inal, who knew the police would be
searching for him in the back streets.
When the man standing against the
doorway had recovered partly from his
amazement at my sudden flight on his
machine he rushed to the police station
and told the authorities there a plausi-
BILE foreigner had engaged him in polite
Ollendorfian conversation. and, while
his mind was distracted in trying to
follow his remarks, had seized the OPP
portunity and also the machine and was
at that moment making his way by the
north road towards Interlaken. Is
Now, capture under these circum-
stances seemed to be deliciously easy.
There were no branching off roads.
The mountains were on one side and the
lake on the other, on neither of which
was bicycling practicable. Therefore
all the two policemen had to do, when
they mounted their machines, was to
ride faster than l did and SO overtake

sation in many languages took place
between us:
"Haben sic un bicyclette louer?" 1
opened out on him with the above i'm
partial mixture of German and French.
IT seems he understood me to ask if
that was his bicycle, whereupon he
replied in four languages:
"Yaw, yaw. oui, yes, se."
Then, throwing in bit of italian, 1 led
off with:
"Quanta costa la machine a la hoor,
oder per tag?"
Now I submit that to any educated
person, or even to university man,
this sentence said as plainly as print:
''How much do you want for this ma
chine by the hour or the day." tried
afterwards to get the magistrate to see
this, but he, not knowing Italian, SHE'D
at the very beginning Of the phrase.
