Has an Operation Performed Which Will Save
 His Left Leg.

Mr. William Lindsay, the we'll known stenographer and florist, is at present confined to bed in ward of the Hill- man hospital. Some time ago he met with an accident, which at the time he thought of no serious nature. He struck his left leg, which many years ago was injured and has since caused him to limp, bruising it very badly. The last in- jury soon became very serious and it was thought for a time he would lose the limb, but Sunday Dr. W. B. Copeland ex- amined the limb and performed an opera ton of flesh grating. taking a piece of flesh from the patients thigh, and by so doing saved the member.
 MT. Lindsay will not be able to get out of bed for number of days, but he is improving very rapidly.

A Bicycle Restaurant.
StdtesriUe Landmark.


One of the latest Developments Of
the bicycle craze, says the New York
Sun, is restaurant on wheels that is
constructed to serve the bicyclers. 1t
is new style carrier tricycle., and the
man who runs it expects to follow the
roads frequented by bicycle riders and
serve to them hot meals. A desk-like
affair is built between two rear wheels,
with several drawers, containing dish
es and food supplies. A gas range with
three burners surmounts this, and is
connected by series of pipes with a
gasoline tank about foot long. In
the open space in front of the tank fry
ing pans are tucked away. A canopy
of canvass covers the kitchin and at
tached to the side supports are framed
cards on which is printed the list of
dishes served. Over good roads the
man who runs this machine can make
excellent time. It has been suggested
that many OF the bicycle clubs that
make excursions into the country may
find it convenient to take along with
them a tricycle. restaurant that can
serve hot meals whenever a stop is
made. Carrier tricycles of various
kinds are now very common, and many
OF the florists and laundries here find
them of use in delivering goods.

Young Peoples Leader.
The evenings OF great numbers OF
families are monotonous humdrum.
They involve the assemDlage OF the
same people the same surroundings
the same paterfamilias. yawning oyer
his paper the same querulous mamma,
overladen with family cares. Fresh
people with fresh thoughts, fresh at
mosphere, anything to stir up and agi-
tate the pool of domestic stagnation,
are sadly needed and sadly scarce.
There needs to be also a constant sue
cession of such fresh people to bring
about these results. The world is full
OF men and women, and in a better
regulated life it would be the business
after the days work was done to enter
tain each other and give each other
fresh life. As it is now, hundreds, il
not thousands, of our households are
little better than cells for the incarcera-
ton of each family. Thousands are
thus worn out prematurely from utter
lack of domestic recreation. There
might be written over the graves OF
hundreds of thousands: "Bored to
death by the stagnatlon of domestic
life"

Aphorisms Of Franklin.

Poor Richards Almanac.
Diligence is the mother of good
luck.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his
that enjoys it.
He that can have patience can have
what he will.
Good wives and good plantations are
made by good husbands.
The noblest question in the world is,
what good may do in it?
Hast thou virtue, acquire also the
graces and beauties of virtue.
He that would have short Lent, let
him borrow money to be repaid at Eas-
ter.
As we must account Tor every idle
word, so we must for every idle silence.
Search others for their virtues thy
self for thy vices.
Let thy child's first lesson be obe-
dience, and the second will be what
thou wilt.

Mrs. Best's Boomers.

Detroit Free Press.
"Oh, George, how l would love to
wear boomers !" said little Mrs. Best
in cajoling voice.
"Well, dear, why don't you wear
them ?" asked Mr.. Best.
"I-I thought you would never give
your consent. You said So"
"But, my love, times have changed.
If other ladies wear boomers, why
should not youf"
"Oh, that Is so sweet of you, George
Wait moment, dear" and Mrs. Best
vanished from the hearthstone like a
fairy to reappear in few moments
transformed into a jaunty youth.
THAT my wife Whew !" said George
Best to himself. Then aloud, $50 you
had them all ready?"
Eyes, dear, for my bicycle-if you
were agreeable"
II should wear them to mill and to
meeting" said Mr.. Best, and so enconr-
aged, Mrs. Best kept them on until she
should finish her housework and be
ready to ride her bike to market.
Her first experience was with tramp
at the back door.
"Say, Boy, is the missus in?''
II am the lady OF the house."
"Say, young teller you've got nerve
Go and chase yourself !"
Mrs. B. slammed the door to and
locked it. Then she went to market
"Here, you dude Teller, stop pinching
them cowcumbers ~ snapped a cross
stallkeeper.
"I'll black yer eye, my pretty boy, if
yer dig yer fingers into them strawber-
ries agen !" screamed an old woman.
Going home, Mrs. Best had company
One of Georges bachelor friends rode
up on his wheel and said airily:
"Can't call you by name yet, but
have cigarette, old tel p and he extend
ed his case with an impudent grin.
Mrs. B. went home as fast as her
wheel could spin and hung her rig in
the attic. And she doesn't dream that
her adventures were the result OF a lit
tie scheme on the part of her dear
George.

ON WHEELS.
TOPIC OF THE DAY.
An Essay on Wheels.

Norfolk Landmark.
Someone has asked us to discuss the
physiological effect of bicycling. Now,
we are prepared Tor good many
things, but for that, we must beg
to be excused. The doctors may fight
it out among themselves, and we will
say for the benefit of our questioner
that there is no prospect of their ever
reaching conclusion. Numbers Of
them insist that bicycling is a sure
road to health, and they travel the road
to show their complete sincerity. On
the other hand, we recall having seen a
statement from certain learned ply
stefan that the propulsion of the steel
steed will certainly lead to the contrac-
ton of every disease under heaven, or
something to that effect.
Thus, we are brought back to the old
maxim that the proof of the pudding is
the eating; and it is certain that a
great many devotees of the wheel wax
strong and flourish like a green bay
tree. Quite number of others sue
coed in wabbllng along in leisurely
way without losing anything in partic-
ular except their avoirdupois, which is
often, we are forced to admit, quite at
tractive in Its absence.
It is true that bicycling in the first
stages sometimes causes lack of eqmlib-
rum, and we have known it to induce
pronounced mental weakness where
possible. Temporary curvature of the
spine is frequent, and we have seen the
mildest-mannered individual assume an
appearance of exquisite torture and ter
rifylng ferocity. Breaking on the
wheel has produced this effect ever
since the beginning of the Dark Ages.
Though we disclaim any expert med
ical knowledge of the retribution in
store for the bicyclist, we think we can
with safety say a few cautioning words.
It is not we'll to ride at speed great
er than twenty miles an hour at noon
on hot summer day. Searching and
possibly consumption is the inevitable
result.
When lady and gentleman are
riding tandem, the former should
carefully abstain from complaining of
the slow rate of progress. Unfeeling
remarks of that kind not infrequently
cause prostration.
It Is not well to carry children less
than six months old in cage on the
handlebar. If subjected to this pleas
ure the infant is likely to grow up
either eccentric or ldiotic.
Never stop to converse with victim
whom you have thoughtlessly run over
on the public highway-thls Is very
unhealthy.
A supply OF ammonia In a strong
rubber bulb provided with nozzle is
an excellent precaution against dogs
and pedestrians who are inclined to be
slow in leaping out of your way.
