Rev Edwin lIcyl Delk delivered an ad.
dress in Trinity Lutheran Church, IIagers,
town, last Thursday night on "'The Abuses
of the Wheel" He said the chief abuses
consisted in immodcratc riding, in the pur-
chase of wheels by people who cannot afford
il, by riding ON Sunday and men and women
together ing long rides into the country
without chapcioncs. He cited medical au.
thority to prove that riding cramped the
apex Of the lungs and induced consumption,
and that appendicitis was also induced by
riding a wheel, especially among children
and young girls He stated that ply stefan
in Bellevue Medical College, New York,
said appendicitis patients had increased SO
per cent. since cycling was common, and
that majority of the patients at his insttu-
ton were Gcvotcea of the wheel People
wih heart disease, the Rev. Mr. Dclk said
should never ride wheel. The preacher
pointed out tho true uses of the wheel He
was among the first riders of the wheel and
still rides.

A POSTER POEM.

The day was drear-the lurid light A landscape weird and strange dis
 played.
 Upon a terra-cotta height I saw an orange dressed maid; Her amber orbs, her brow of snow Were sketch'd with many a pallid
 line,
 And many a fold of indigo About her slender shape did twine. A river of sepulchral hue In tortur'd curves went winding by; The hills in wav'ring lines of blue Were traced against a saffron sky. The while. hard by, a sage-g green COW Upon the poppies brows'd at ease, And carmine flakes, on every bough Were clustered mid the tawny trees. I, gazing on this g'hastly scene, Did groan a groan of wild despair. "Oh, for the days when grass was
 green,
 And skies were blue, and maids
 were fair! Ye goddesses of later time, Ye pale and emerald-eyed, depart! Go get ye to some distant cline, And leave to us our ancient art"
 Margaret F. Mauro.
Arizona republican., 1897-09-24

ist than fly to others that they know nothing of. If they were a coloniz- ing nation, building people, it might be very good thing for them to set up great black government in Af- rica, there to work out their own des- tiny as an independent race. But any man who knows anything of the ne gro character knows that this is not the case. Besides, the practical diff faculties of deporting millions of peo- pie across the ocean are too great ever to be surmounted, even if all parties were entirely favorable to the plan. The negro has been here for centuries, and here he will abide. His progress is slow but steady, and in view of his past history he has made a very creditable advancement.''- New York Tribune.
