No BIackbaliing That Time.

I'm in a great hurry" said the high
school boy as he sat down to dinner
last night. I've got to dress and get
right off. There's a new bicycle club
and I'm to be voted in tonight"
His mother, who was something OF
a club-woman, demonstrated: you
mustn't be there if your name is to come
up; that isn't club etiquette. Besides,
suppose you shouldn't be elected?"
That's all right" said the high
school boy, swallowing with difficulty
a considerably larger piece Of rye bread
than good manners sanctioned. Dick
Hendryx is president and he's putting
me through There's only seven in the
club and one fellow is in my class, and
he'll vote for me; and another wants to
borrow my lantern next week and he'll
vote for me; and Dick says if the
others don't he'll punch their faces. -

RAREsT BOOK ON EARTH.
A Find Which VIII Thrill Bibliomaniacs
Souls


Bibliomaniacs in all parts of the
world will be delighted to learn that
a copy Of Bonaventure's 'Speculum
Vite Christi" rare and precious Cax-
ton, has been discovered by Mr.. William
May the public librarian at Birken-
head, across the Mersey from Liverpool,
says the New York World. Mr.. May
was recently rummaging through lot
of discarded books from a lawyers Ii
brary. He was startled to find among
them an old black-letter volume at
tached to another aged work At first
he thought that he had found simply
a specimen of Cations print. Subse-
Quently he discovered that he had come
upon an even greater rarity than he
had imagined. For several days Mr..
Mays was inclined to doubt that the
book he had found was really priceless.
After consulting many authorities,
however, he found that he had in his
possession a copy of Bonaventure's
"Speculum Vite Christi" as it is
spelled in the original. This edition
was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in
1894, the year in which he returned to
the use of Cations types. It's excep-
tional rarity consists in fact that it IS
the only edition in which Cations No.
type was ever used, the type in this
case being used for the side notes.
There is only one other copy Of this
precious book known to be in existence,
O. D,,C
the great authorities On CaXtoniana.
This copy is owned by the earl Of
Leicester. The earl is so careful Of the
book that he has never put it on exht-
bition, even refusing to send it to the
great Caxton exhibition of 1877. He has
not allowed experts to examine it,
Among the greatest treasures Of the
archbishop's library at Lambeth there
are four solitary leaves from this book
that are guarded as among the most
valuable relics of early printing. From
these Mr. Gordon Duff was obliged to
take his examples for his recently pub
lished 'F'ac-Similes Of Early English
Printing"
For many years the No. type was a
subject Of dispute among the biblio-
maniacs. Eventually the question was
settled to the satisfaction of all ex-
perts by means of copy of an In
diligence preserved at the Dublin uni
versity CONFORMITY with the Lambeth
leaves Although not the most valu-
able book in the world, Mr.. Mays
trpaSIrn NAV he considered nractic0llV
the rarest, there being only two copies
in existence. In spite of this fact, and
the great money value connected with
the copy found at Birkenhead, the
volume had been used as scrap book
for children. It is illustrated with
large number of beautiful Caxton
woodcuts, which had been used to
amuse babies instead Of thrilling biblio-
maniacs.

THE WINDSOR RACES.
Charles Gru1s Wins the Kenosha County
Championship.

The most interesting bicycle races
ever put up in Kenosha we're those put
onto the Windsor Cycling track on the
afternoon of July 4. Fully 5000
people were in attendance and every
body went away feeling that every
race was worth the price of admission.
There had been considerable adver-
Using Of these races and the people
went TO the park expecting to see
something good. They were not dis
appointed, which fact probably speaks
louder than any other of the excellent
quality of the events. There were
1900 tickets sold at the gates. A
large number of tickets had been sold
prior to the event, so that an estimate
of 5000 in the park is conservative in
the extreme.
The officers of the course were j. r.
Jones, of Racine, referee; j. Shanks,
r. H. Welles, George A. Yule and FL.
M. Baldwin, judges; E. G. Lane and G..
w Johnston, assistant clerks; Charles
w. Allen; S. c.. Newman and George
Yule timers.
The summaries of the races Were as
follows:
One mile novice-won by Walter w.
May of Chicago; second, Fred W.
Schultz; third, Chester Allen. Time,
2:3l 2-5.
Quarter mile open: run in two heats,

RuEEALoEs FIGHr.
In Spite of the Keepers Efforts Fine
Bull Is Killed.

The National Geological park in
the suburbs of Washington has lost one
of its valuable herd of six buffaloes,
the animal having been killed in des-
perate fight with one of its companions
on Saturday, says an exchange. The
zoos herd Of buffalo is one of the finest
in the country and great regret is felt
at the killing of one Of them, and it will
be hard to replace it. The buffalo tina
was killed was one of the largest and
Oldest in the herd and for long time
was the tyrant and monarch OF all the
others at the zoo. A year or two ago
he had very desperate fight with a
younger bull and since that time has
been kept away from the rest of the
herd and confined in a pen in which
there was also a young bull, who APP
parently was entirely peaceful. On
Saturday the old fellow amused him
self by teasing the young bull and
poking at him as they walked around
the pen. The young bull did not like
this and began to show fight. A dozen

and came together with shocks that
startled the other animals and brought
to the Enclosure all of the keepers, who
endeavored to separate them but with
out success. The fence around the in
closure was completely ruined, al
though the boards kept together sufi-
GENTLY to prevent the animals from es-
Gaping. The buffaloes fought until both
Of them were so nearly exhausted that
they could hardly stand. Then the old
one was driven away, where the sur
geon in charge of the zoo and his as
sistants labored to save his life. The
last blow that he had received from the
young buffalo, however, had done it's
work and the animal lived but little
time after the fight was over. The
pOst-mortem showed that he was fright
fully gored and nearly all the bones of
his body broken. The young buffalo
was not seriously injured

who was one of George ILLS worth

An ADoIocv.

A man who has the reputation for
being very careless as to his toilet was
elected town clerk in one Of the small
towns in this state some time ago and
the local paper thought it would be a
good joke to announce that
Mr. Makeup will wash himself be-
fore he assumes the Office of town
clerk"
On reading the notice Mr.. Makeup
was furious and demanded a retraction
which the paper accordingly made the
following day in this fashion,
MIR. Makeup requests US to deny
that he will wash himself before he as
sumes the Office of town clerk
And still Mr. Makeup was not
pleased. How hard it is to satisfy some

REFRIGERATING FLOWERS.
The Lily of the Valley Stands 1t, bu
Tulips Do Not.

The Lily of the Valley Stands 1t, but
Tulips Do Not.
Quite a revolution in horticulture has
been in progress during the past de-
cade, although, owing to the secret
manner in which the experiments lead
ing up to it have been conducted, COM
paratively few persons have been aware
of the new departure, says Chambers
Journal. Every one knows that flow
ers, as we'll as fruits and vegetables, are
forced, so that those who are rich shall
have the use of them before unaided
nature brings them to maturity. This
forcing business is an expensive one,
labor. Many attempts, therefore, have
been made to get at the golden eggs
by cheaper means, and as result Of
many trials the opposite process to
forcing has been adopted with success.
The system consists in retarding the
and is. Of course, only applicable to
those which are hardy in this country,
by which we mean those which will
stand several degrees Of frost. The lily
of the valley is one of them, and it is
much in request for puporses of decora-
ton. Under the old forcing conditions
only about-5O per cent of the buds treat
ed could be induced to flower, but by
the freezing method an average of 95
per cent can be secured from the end
of summer UP to Christmas.
1t will be noted that the process can
not be applied to evergreens of any
kind, and it would certainly be death to
camellias, and probably to hyacinths
and tulips. 1t is said that near Berlin
three growers alone have nearly 800
acres of lily of the valley, under Guilt
walton, and that they have adopted the
refrigerating method with great sue
cess. 1t has been long ago proved that
the plant can be cultivated in England
with equal success and we trust that
the new method will soon be tried on an
extensive scale in this country.

PARTISAN BICYCLE STOCKINGS
College CoiOrs and Startling Designs
Brilliant and Gaudy Effects.

Kaleidoscope effects in bicycle stock
ings are the order of the day, says
the New York World. The shops are
full of hose fearfully and wonderfully
made and bearing on their vivid sur
faces the most exciting designs and
scenes.
The plain reds and blues and greens
which flashed along the boulevard but
month ago are seen no more. They
have given place to bright crimson and
yellow affairs embroidered in contrast
ing shades and embellished with de-
signs which range from the wearer's
monogram to exciting collisions on the
wheel. Silk hose are, of course, the
most effective and, one need not add,
the most expensive. Five dollars is a
small price for a pair of the latest
Partisan importations. Stripes and
checks are among the more modest de-
signs. Red, white and blue hose are
offered to patriotic young women and,
| of course, the college stocking is out
in large numbers. The Princeton col
ors, orange and black, are among the
most popular. The full beauty of these
hose is supposed to be obscured by
modest skirts and high boots, but many
of the knickerbockered women riders
who filled the Long island and Staten
island roads last Sunday had appar-
emily forgotten this. Young men, too,
are wearing some astonishing hose with
their bicycle suits. Brilliant colors and
involved patterns are seen, though to
their everlasting credit be it said the
hose of male bicyclists are less con-
spicuous than those of young women
who accompany them. Young men
run largely to the college colors of
Yale, Harvard and Princeton.
