A Country Negro Robbed By
 City Thieves.

Saturday Bob Bishop, a negro farmer who lives in the vicinity of Altheimer, came to Pine Bluff to spend some of his money and to have good time He took in the sights and enjoyed the day fairly well and concluded to return home on the midnight Cotton Belt train. The time for his departure came, but being a little sleepy, he missed his train. Bishop then returned to Brockway's negro dram shop and there went to sleep on a table. While he was snoring at a tremend- ous rate Lewis Adams, Bud Adams, George Payne and Abraham Hall entered, and seeing their country cousin SO sound asleep, concluded to roll him." The thieves met with better success than they anticipated, for in Bishops pockets they found $20 which they at once hypothecated. When Bishop awoke he at once found that he had been touched" and gave the alarm. Officers Green and Robert Johnson began an investigation and soon had the fourculprits behind the bars. Only $2 of the stolen money and the pocket book from which it had been taken was recovered. The thieves are now in jail.

THE BIKE AND TEMPERANCE
The Bicycle the Practical Temper
 ance Reformer of the

The following which appeared re- gently as an editorial, heaE9ed s@ Re- taxation and no Reaction, in the Philadelphia Call, invites attention to the we'll known fact that the bi- cycle is the most practical temper ance reformer of the age:
 "sWe don't know whether those who are interested in the subject have noticed it, but we believe the growth of bicycling is largely con ducive to temperance.
 "It would be quite impossible for a man who was unable to preserve his equilibrium to long sit astride bicycle. A degree of inebriety that might not seriously interfere with the success of a carriage ride would render bicycle ride utterly out of the question.
 ''It will be seen, therefore, that bicycling imposes upon those who indulge in it, moderation in the use of intoxicants, while they are riding at any rate.
 "But the beneficial influence of bicycling in the matter of temper ance does not end here. There is no doubt that an excursion awheel takes the place of many an after office hour stay with 'congenial friends" It furnishes the stimulus for which the weary man of affairs has formerly looked elsewhere. To brace a man up those who have had experience with both tell us that the bicycle is immeasurably superior to the bar, and the statement seems plausible enough.
 "After a hard day at the desk or behind the counter, surely d dash awhcel out among the trees and green fields should put new life into ones blood and new buoyancy into ones spirits. And one great ad- vantage of such collaboration is that it is not followed the next morning by head full of aches and soul full of remorse.
 "For these reasons and others which will suggest themselves to the reader, it is in our opinion that it's value as temperance agent is not the leastof the virtues of cycl- ing"
