she was five years old her father
bought her pony. That pony was led
into the Hanna grounds with boys

very natural proceeding for little Miss
Ruth to climb into that saddle, thrust
her feet into the stirrups, gather up
the bride reins, kick the pony in the
ribs with the heel of her tiny shoes
and yell eXultantly: Get up"
That was the first time Miss Ruth
rode astride, and she has been riding
that way ever since, AMI, moreover,
she says that she is going to keep on.

Hanna carries out the masculine -os-

maculate shirt front, with a stanu.ng
collar and a cravat tied into a bow
knot. Her long hair is combed and
knotted on the top Of her head, and
this piece of femininity is concealed by
the derby or the Alpine hat which she
invariably wears. Silver spurs are at

carries the regulation riding crop.
She seems to have at least a dozen

A QUESTION.

Wouldn't you consider a
man capable of doing the most
intricate work, capable of doing
the simple work also?
Would you consider a man
capable only of doing the sim
pie work, quite as capable for
that work, as the more sklllful
one?
We have been getting ALL
yout intricate and difficult
work during the years past,
now let us have ALL your
work which requires less skill;
then note after it leaves our
hands how much better it
looks-see if it does not give
you better satisfaction.
Your watch is one of your
best friends;lt merits the treat
ment you accord your friends.
We give it such treatment.
1t is our business. Ten years
of satisfactory work have
given US the reputation for the
best; and yet we are doing
better work to day than ever.
We are working just as hard
to keep that reputation as we
ever did to gain it. We are
not content to rest easy, and
let the reputation do all the
work; the quality will never be
lessened.
Do you know that your old
key winder can be converted to
a stem winder, and that it can
be done so it will wind as
smooth as melted btuter? We
have converted number of

ONLY A FAIR CHANCE.

Space is given for the following
from a recent number of the Bos-
ton Journal:
Captain John Goldman goes far
astray in one of our local Demo-
cratic newspapers in attacking the
Oceanic Steamship Company be-
cause it asks an added compensa-
ton of$S0,000 for carrying theAus-
tralian mails, and the Boston
Journal because it favors the pro-
position.
This compensation is not de-
sired, because a ring of domestic
ship. builders" has compelled the
company to pay needless and
excessive price" for its American
built ships, as Captain Goldman
intimates. The company seeks
no consideration on that point
whatever. 1t has been running
its vessels for eight or ten years,
and has operated them successful
ly: but now the conditions have
changed. Coveting the trade
which the line has brought to
San Francisco merchants and the
prestige which it has won for the
American flag in the Antipodes,
the British and Canadian Gov
ernments have established rival
line of British steamships be-
tween Vancouver and Australia.
This British line receives sub
sidy Of Sl4, 533 per voyage, which
is about to be increased to S1S,750.
The American steamers receive
only S4615.40 per voyage from
our Government for carrying the
mails, and also $3.50 from New
Zealand-thst is, British colony
actually deals more generously
with these American steamers
than the United States itself does.
The increased subsidy of $4,000
is asked for merely as an offset to
the British subsidy and to give
the American line a fair fighting
chance against its British competi-
tor.
This is the situation in a nut
shell. The increased compensa-
ton is sure to be granted by Con-
gress, and it cannot be and will
not be objected to by any Ameri.
can who has spark of genuine
patriotism in his composition.

A FEW WORDS ON BlCY-
Giles AND CUTLERY.

In a Coast newspaper de-
voted to the bicycle business
we read that dealers in bicy-
cleS are authority for the state
ment that the business aspect
of the bicycle trade has mate
rally changed during the past
year. Instead of the main
business consisting in dealing
with mems wheels, quite the
contrary is true. Dealers are
now doing their utmost to
attract the eyes of the women.
All of which shows that the
ladies are taking very kindly
to bicycle riding all over the
world. And it is the same
here, the demand for ladies'
wheels is continually increas-
ing. We have received five
of the TRIBUNE LADIES'
WHEELS on this steamer and
have more on the way. These
wheels are of this years make,
direct from the factory, no back
numbers, and have all the latest
Improvements.
We have also a number of
Tribune racers and gents road
SterS, and a number of "Zim-
my" wheels. This is an en-
tirely new machine, named
after the great rider, Zimmer-
mann, and we shall be pleased
to explain its merits to in
tending purchasers.
But we started in to say a
few words on CUTLERY, of
which we received an i'm
menSe assortment on the Aus
tralia, which is now unpacked
and on exhibition. In table
cutlery we have an immense
variety in new and elegant
patterns and all sizes. In pock-
ct cutlery we have a number
of new designs. Knives to
cut lead pencils and knives to
trim your finger nails with, and
knives to cut down your ex-
penses with. We have prun-
ing knives which are just the
thing for the members of the
Legislature to use in cutting
down the appropriation bills,
and some suitable for the Adj
vertiser man to do his Cheese
pairing" with. In fact we
have all kinds of knives, large
and small, light or heavy, but
all of them of the best quality
and manufacture.
We have carving knives
with ivory, buckhorn or bone
handles, butcher knives, skin
ming knives, knives with cork
screws in them for camping
out or staying at home. In
fact we have all sorts of knives
suitable for all sorts and con-
ditionS Of people.
