The Etiquette Of Cycling.

Fine points about bicycle etiquette
have not been settled yet. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that when you
are riding a wheel you have right to
address a stranger who may come up
beside you, provided you have really
something worth talking about 1t ism t
necessary, if custom makes law, to say
beg your pardon, sir" and then make
q specific statement about some topic
and then say Good morning" but you
have the right to begin a general con-
versation on some bicycle topic of course
and continue to talk as long as the other
man will listen. If you are the man ad-
dressed, you have not the right, appar-
emily, to say, Excuse me, sir, but l
do not know you" You must endure
the conversation until you can contrive
some way to escape the other fellow if
he happens to be bore. Of course this
applies solely to etiquette among men.

The Cycling Tramp.

The cycling tramp is one Of the prod
ucts of the wheeling craze and is, if
possible, more Objectionable than his
pedestrian progenitor. His machine and
his vestiges of responsibility enable him
to approach you more readily, and he is
harder to shake off and seems to possess
a greater variety of woeful tales to sup
port his application for a temporary
loan He is indigenous in America, has
been introduced into England, where
he is rapidly becoming acclimatized,
and we fear he may before long put in
an appearance in this country-absit

Paul Revere, Jr.'s, Ride.

Listen, my lovers and you shall hear
OF the midnight ride of Paul Revere
On May the thirtieth, ninety-six.
Hardly youth that is 'up to tricks
But will always remember the day and year.
He said to his love: eff your father still
Refuses to grant our prayer tonight,
At the hour of twelve on your window sill
You will place lamp as a signal light
One If you stay and two if we flee
And in the lane below will be
Ready to ride to the parson wise
And win forever the gracious prize
Whose love shall be my paradise"
Then he said GOOD night, for a little while.
His face lit up with a hopeful SMILE
He gave no heed to the 'pitapat"
OF his heart nor little things like that.
He watched the moon rise over the bay
And the river that lazily went its way,
Bearing along light canoe
In which there nestled blissful two
So close you could scarce tell which was who
Meanwhile his friend, a sweetheart should.
With n plea and prayer and sigh and tear,
Was trying to win her fathers ear;
But he would not listen to aught she said,
Though she strove by every means she could,
And she turned away, devoid of cheer,
To seek, as her father thought, her bed.
She climbed the stair to her moonlit room
And hastily gathered the precious things
Some half forgotten engagement rings
There's many bud not born to bloom
So strangely woven the wool of fate),
Some pins to fasten her hat on straight,
A few curl papers to crimp her hair,
And then she paused and waited there,
From her shaded window looking down
On the roofs Of the silent, sleeping town.
In the moonlight seeming doubly fair.
Meanwhile, impatient to know his fate,
Down in the lane by the garden gate
Back and forth went Paul Revere.
He tried his tandem with all his weight
And tested the wheels both front and rear.
He whirled the pedals swiftly round;
He saw that the frame was strong and sound,
But mostly he watched with anxious eye
That chamber window, dim and high,
Half hid behind the swaying trees,
That softly rocked with every breeze.
And 10, as he looks on the windows height
A glimmer and then CLEAN Of light
He clasps his saddle; again he turns
And fingers and gazes till full on his sight
A second lamp in the window burns.
A hurry Of wheels in village street,
Two shapes in the moonlight flash in the
dark,
And beneath from the pebbles in passing
spark
Struck out by wheel flying fearless and feet.
That was ALL and yet through the gloom and
the light
The fate of two beings was riding that night,
And the spark struck out by that wheel in its
flight
Kindled them both into flame with its heat.
You know the rest. OF course you have read
How the father, finding his daughter fled,
Mounted horse and offered them chase,
But found he couldn't keep their pace;
How they all made up and shared their Joys,
And now the fathers all tell their boys
In the hour of darkness and peril and need
The story a lover loves to hear
OF the midnight flight of that tandem steed
And Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Revere.
