MAJOR Mk1yLEY,s POSITION.

Friends, enemies and fellow countrymen,
I come not here to talk;
l don't have to;
The leaders of the G.. O.
Are doing that for me;
| saw wood
And see that the clouds that lower upon
our house
Have silver lining.
But | never say SO;
Neither do they;
They, are the geese that lay the golden
eggs,
And | am Sphinx,
Which don't lay any eggs;
1t lays low. .
See?
/ am charged with being straddler.
What if / am?
AS long as | am charged with anything
l don't have to pay cash,
And it is this COMPOUNDED money question
That is causing all the trouble,
| mean trouble for other people;
1t doesn't trouble me in the least;
l know exactly how l stand
On the financial issue
And
a voice-Say Bill
Close up there!
If you don't keep your feet together
You'll split wide open
Before June

AN ALLEGoRY.

A man once had pitchfork bright.
And with it jabbed about
In great delight both day and night,
And many put to rout.
He pranced around in awful glee
With ardor undismayed,
Ard watched his gentler neighbors flee,
Excusably afraid.
But, as the bird once gave his plume
To speed Alright the dart,
And found himself the thing whose doom
Engaged the marksmans art.
Upon polished tine stepped he.
Which made him smart full sore.
And many smiled his plight to see,
And he got gay no more.

The frightful accident which caused the
death of Miss Schumacher, the bicyclist,
on Thursday is an extremely forcible hint
to every one of the legion of wheelmen
the world over. Miss Schumacher was a
careful and experienced rider, and able
to handle her wheel skillfully. She was
not scorching or riding unguardedly at the
time of the mishap, but with ordinary
caution. The thing most responsible for
her death is the fact that bicycle is
treacherous, and apt at any time to be
very easily upset. Naturally the fewer
accidents a wheelman has the stronger
becomes his assurance. Nevertheless,
stone or other object 3alf the size of a
hens egg is liable to dislodge a rider in a
Jiffy, while sudden lateral collision,
however slight, may have like effect. A
cyclist becomes attached to his wheel as
locomotive engineer becomes attached
to his engine, and almost believes that it
has soul and the power of discretion.
Though wheel can spin, however, it
cannot think.-New York Sun.
