TO CHECK THE BICYCLE FEVER.

The saleman in the bicycle shop
stepped forward to greet the prospec-
tive customer.
Can l show you something in wheels
that is right up to date? he inquired.
YES" was the reply; ''and what
is more you can sell it to me if you
work it half way right. I've held out
as long as | could. I've vowed ] never
would make spectacle of myself for
the neighbors to scott at, but I've
caught the infection | want to go
spinning along with the rest of them. :"
Everybody comes around to it in
time,' said the salesman, with an en-
couraging smile.
Il know it. I've seen strong-minded
men whose inteIlects are fitted to
grapple with the problems of our social
system get excited in discussing
whether the rat-trap pedals are bet
ter than the other kind. And when
| find myself weakening so far as to
want to ride one of the things, I'm
worried half to death wondering how
far the attack is going. So before
We go any further with the transac-
ton ! want you TO promise me some
thing"
1--WE will give you any reasonable
guarantee"
LET me feel your biceps. That's a
pretty good muscle. | hope I'll never
! have to call on you, but, as | said,
there's no telling how severely the
malady may strike in on the best of
us. What | want you to agree to is
this: If You ever see me coming up
the street in light-colored knicker-
bocl<ers and a red sweater with a big
collar that folds over the back like
! the one on little boys sailor suit,
you are to take club, and without
! saying a word about it, chase me right
/ off the bicycle into the nearest ambu-
lance. Detroit Free Press.

TWENTY CENTURIES AGO.

IF this was twenty centuries ago
And three wise men should seek my

Nay, nay! dare not say this would
