Ostrich Beats a Bicycle.

The Cape Times says that peculiar
experience befell a local cyclist, DON
aid Menzies, recently. He was riding
along the main road from Cape Town
to Somerset West Strand, when an os-
trich, attracted apparently by what
was in it's eyes novel vehicle, COM
menced to waltz around the bicycle.
After few preliminary antics the bird
took it into its head to pace Mr.. Men
zies, and so long as it abstained from
using its wings the cycist and the
ostrich ran "a dead heat. However,
after covering about half mile in this
way the ostrich utilized its stumpy
wings as sails and spurted away at
record-breaking pace, leaving the cy-
clist far behind. After that the bird
troubled Mr.. Menzies no more.

Aztec, it can easily be imagined
how nonplussed these bosses are
over the silver question. They can
readily understand the part the
silver dollar plays in our local
elections, but the 16 to / doc
trine is all Greek with them.
They are shrewd enough,
however, to realize that in some
respects the state political warfare
will enter in the local fight, and
they are between a chill and
sweat to determine which side to
espouse. One of them might de-
clare with Culberson and the others
with Clark, but, Of course, Culber-
son will control the pie-counter, II
elected, and there's the rub.
1t is provoking to contemplate
that these miserable state issues
should enter our local politics and
disturb the quiet meditations of
the gentlemen who are feeding so
coutentedly at the public crib.
The motto of the people at the
forthcoming election should be-:
"Turn the rascals out"

and it might be said that when the

often.
But. however, this may be, no
