A little farce, in which a young lady,
a bicycle and a calf were the actors, is
reported by the Utica Press. A young
lady, bowling merrily along on her
wheel, came to the top Of a hill which
offered q fine opportunity for a coast.
Accordingly her feet went upon the
rests, and the wheel started for an TN
trammeled cruise down the incline.
The coast was clear, with the excep-
ton Of a calf standing inoffensively in
the road about halfway down the hill.
Had it been a mouse, in all probable
ity the fair cyclist would have at n
dismounted and gone around by an
other route. or stepped into some house
for assistance; but as 1t was only a
harmless calf, that would In all proba-
bility make room at once at the APP
proach Of the wheel, the young lady
kept steadily on.
The calf, however, had different
views concerning the right Of way. and
calmly stood his ground. The wheel
had now gained a great impetus, and
despite the frantic efforts Of Its rider
1t struck the astonished calf, and in
some unaccountable manner the young
lady brought up on her hands and
knees, with her head between the calf's
hind legs.
This was too much for the calf, as II
was also for the fair cyclist, and he
moved OF in a double-Quick time, leav'

he did was for the glory of God and
not for the praise of men.
The interment was in Greenwood
