On one side of the barn of a Cam.
bridge farmer is an open shed under
which last fall, ladder was set up near
an open window. In the bottom of the
ladder two old files we're driven for brad q
to hold the ladder from slipping when in
use. One evening. lately, while the farm
er WAS doing chores at the barn, he no.
ticed the chickens going up the ladder
to the window, and that the ladder did
not stand very firmly. Before he
finished his work several chickens flew
in at the window. and the ladder fell in
such way that the files struck q rock
and set the straw on fire and burned
over a place as large as a bushel basket
before it was discovered. In q few
minutes more the fire would have been
beyond control, and the barn would have
been burned.

it's annual run from Flagstaff to the
Grand canon of the Colorado river on
August 10, 20, 81 and %, 1896, making the
start at a. NJ, August 19. Two days
will be spent at the canon and the return

The distance to the Canon hotel is
about seventy miles, and can be made in

Grand Canon stage road, which circles
the base of the San Francisco mountains
and passes through the great pine forests
of northern Arizona.
Owing to the elevation, Flagstaff being
1000 feet above the sea, the temperature
even in summer is low, while the scenery
is unsurpassed anywhere on earth.
The Coconino club has made arrange
ments to furnish all the necessaries, such
as board, lodging, ETC., at the remarkably
low rate of $40 for each wheelman. The
Atlantic d Pacific railroad will place the
lowest possible rate in effect, and every
thing points not only to pleasant trip
but to a triumph of bicycle enthusiasts.
Be pioneer and join this run, and the
Impressions gained from view OF the
Grand canon will remain until you ride
your weeel up the golden stairs.
You are invited to correspond with Mr.
