There are ballads of the Saxon and heroics CT
the Scot,
There are ballads that are beautiful and bal
lads that are not,
There are ballads of the battle, Of the chase
and of the heart,
There are ballads of simplicity and ballads
that are smart,
From the time of English Harold to the age
that loves strike,
But the poet of the pedals sings the ballads Of
the bike.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE THING.
Ny bicycle, my bicycle,
I'll sing your praises high.
Like Nansen to an icycle
Am to you, my bi.
I'll sing of love and leafy lanes, -
And gems that hope and l Gull
Shall end the query of the SWANS
10 sigh or not to cycle. -
Methinks I'll "scent the morning air" s.
And ride upon it, too,
What time the morning star, so fair, T.,
Has wept fond adew.
To ride when nature mantle's damp
An inoffensive mcddler,
Where doomed seemed to go 'fon tramp
Rejoicing m ped Ter
And eve, when bats and beetles skim
And dropping branches dim ALL
I'll scent above the rubbered rim
An odor not of Rimmel
And l shall ever more be glad
AS down the lanes paddle, =
And when I'm hipped or sore or sad
Commend me to my saddle.
When may smile that kings to be
May come to grief unknown,
And unfeported then will be
The speeches from the thrown.
So hail the steed of high and low
And thou shalt prove me leal,
And perchance forget my woe
In thinking of my wheel. Fun.

BLONDlN HAS A SUCCESSOR.


A Toronto Man Assumes the Name of the,
ROpewalker.
James Hardy of Toronto calls himself
BlOndin, and wants the world to adopt
the name. He is Il tight rope walker
and has been recently astonishing Roch-
ester with his feats. He stretched "a
wire from Seneca park east to Seneca
park west, at a height Of 220 feet over
the river, and did some very daring
Cts nnon if. The wire was 800 feet
long
He recently went to England with
700 Canadian militiamen, and will re-
main i'll Euppe year giving exhibit
tons.
Young Hardy, or Blondin, as he pre-
fers to be- called on account of the as
ISOLATION of that name with high wire
performances, is daring and clever
man at his chosen work
There are few if amy men in the bust
ness who can do as many things as he
can on the wire. He stands on his head,
does a pole squat counted most difficult,
runs, dances, walks backward and side
ways, does wonderful feats on trapeze
and lies on his back, all on the swaying
wire hundreds of feet in the air.
Thousands of Rochester people have
held their breath as he did these things.

to build our aquarium first. Not hav-
ing enough money, we got Ritchie, the
animal and bird man, into the scheme,
and i'll the centennial year we had a
$50, 600 aquarium with fishes of all
sorts, seals, and, as a browning glory,
two whales. Unfortunately, they only
lived two days. Still, we did we'll, but
Richie and Coup were not satisfied.
They wanted to put i'll theater. In
spite of my protests that this would
ALLEVIATE the church folks, who had been
our best friends-'great moral show
and all that recommended in the Sun
day schools to the schOlars-the theater
was put i'll and the receipts fell off.
Coup sold out to Richie, and 1 remem-
Der that he took six giratfes in part pay
ment and they all died within short
time.
"Then Ritohie had a notion of open
ing on Sundays. pointed out that that
would bring the church folks into di-
rect opposition. If it was done, 1 said
would get out So sold out to Ritch-
lie. Later on, believe, he arranged to
have some whales brought on, but he
never got them, and the museum failed.
"Those are the only whales l know
of which have been in captivity in this
country, except one at Coney Island
some years ago. The whales now in the
aquarium here are fine specimens In
their quarters, with plenty of fresh wa
ter, they should live long time. AS a
rule, however, whales are delicate and
difficult to keep alive in captivity. -

GREAT RAILWAY CENTER.
Buffalo Leads All Other Cities Here In
Railway Trackage.

bunalO Leads All Other Cities Here In
Railway Trackage.
Buffalo is NOW the greatest railway
center i'll the United States and has
more trackage than Chicago, New York
or st. Louis The Buffalo Express, with
pardonable pride, boasts of this suprem-
acy of the Electric City.
"Twenty-six great railroad corpora
lions operate their roads through Buff
falo and 300 or more passenger trains
enter and leave the city every day. Ev
cry mile of trackage is crystallization
into iron and steel of human faith, for
men do not spend money heedlessly,
nor do soulless corporations lay tracks
without having duly measured and esti-
mated the returns from their invest
ments. Buffalo had 800 miles of rail-
way trackage in actual operation i'll
1895, and the two years which have,
passed have added many miles to that:
aggregate. an accurate statement of
which is rather the work of the statis--
tician than the generalizer. The rail.
roads own nearly 1900 acres of land
within the city limits, and many Of
them have Buffalo as their terminal
point, connecting here with trunk lines,
from the west and east. "
About 20, 600 people employed ill.,
various capacities i'll the railway serv~
ices are residents of Buffalo, which.
means that with the families of these,
employees probably not less than 100,
600 Buffalo residents are directly inter-

ty-five Years of Age.
A student named Borysik recently
passed the final examination at Warsaw
university qualifying him to practice as
a doctor of medicine in Russia BOrysik
was born i'll 1922 and was educated at
Suvalk Higher Grade school with
view to becoming a medical man. After
passing his naturalization lack of funds
prevented him from at once proceeding
to the university, and he was compelled
to work as tutor for 20 years in order
to save enough money to enable him to
continue his studies. At the end Of that
time he presented himself at Warsaw
Medical academy and passed the Ell
trance examination with distinction.
Before he could begin his studies the
Polish rebellion of 1868 broke out, and
Borysik, who was now Al years of age,
threw himself into the movement with
all the enthusiasm of youthful revolu-
Zionist. The revolt was suppressed, and
BOrysik was eXiled to Siberia, where for
80 years he underwent hard labor i'll the
silver mines, III 1895 he received free
pardon and returned to Warsaw. In
spite Of his age and the hardships he
had endured Borysik had lost none of
bis enthnsinsm for medical work and
took up his studies Where ne ndd T5TT

course this remarkable man has now, at
the age of 70 years, passed the final

ance. When their country could
produce such devoted servants Of
God as Lcyols and Saint Thcresa,
we must indeed believe there was
depth to tho religious feeling. But
also whom we consider the servant
of Ferdinand and Isabella, the fierce
Torqueulada, we arc compelled to
realize that with religion was q
tremendous almixture of greed.
After the Inquisition became
thoroughly established, it was
found so easy to secretly dispose
Of men and women Of wealth that
to Ferdinand, eager for money,
the temptation WAS too overpow-
ering. So, while Isabella's fanat-
ical soul was satisfied with the
works of the Holy Office, Ferdi-
nand found solace to himself in
replenlshing his treasury. The
work Of the Inquisition became, in
short, little else but robbery and
murder in the name of God. If
the walls of the Escurial could
speak, cry for vengeance, long
inaudible to human ears, would
stir the human heart. With the
same spirit Of lust for wealth, the
colonies were always regarded as
fair prey to be mercilessly strip
ped of everything valuable that
was compact and transportable.
Precious metals became common
in Spain, wealth was on every
side, luxury WAS all perverse. Yet
in the midst of its greatest mate
rial prosperity, the demon OF self
destruction was unobtrusively at
work, for anv nation that puts its
trust in material wealth for per-
manency also builds its structure
upon the sands.

was held in the Court house Mon

their resources and were now re-
duced to want.
A committee was appointed to
solicit the Police Jury to appro.

done, and that body set aside

fund, the Natchitoches Bank kind
ly, advancing the money and ac-
cepting the proceeds of the l mill
tax belonging to said fund.
This is for the absolutely desti-
tute, but TO help those who are
able to borrow money and buy a
little bread and meat, q committee
of 8 with Chairman j. w. Freeman,
was appointed to try to raise $1,000,
to purchase Immediately, before

Mr.. Freeman offered to advance
500 OF the money if 9 others would
do likewise, but they did not res

Joint note to the Bank for the $1,000
for so days, but the other signers
did not materalize, though several
leading merchants and lawyers
were approached and urged to help
tho people upon whom they lived.
Not to be ontdone and see his
people lose the advantages of low
priced corn and meat and free

money upon his own resources en-

! Altogether Spain seems to have
been possessed of a demon Of self
destruction, demon that has ta-
ken varied forms in four centu-
rles, but which, through them all,
has been forcing Spain steadily on
ward toward annihilation. Its
wars with the Moors fostered a
strong national spirit, and because
the wars were religious in c:1arac-
ter, they tended also to make Spain
the stronghold Of Catholicism. So
long as there was fair fighting
Spain was strengthened by the
conflict; for in certain stages of
human progress war, with its at
tendant horrors, seems to have
been, if 1ot a nece essary feature,
atanj rate, an aid to civilization.
But spain, when the conquest was
practically complete, sand the re-
mainiug Moors had settled down
to agriculture and to trade, burn
ing with zeal for the God of their
bloody imaglnings, called in to aid
in the complete determination of
every heresy, that fendish device
for populating Heaven and saw
ing souls, ''The lnquisition." Their
conqeusts in the New World also
were in the beginning religious
conguests. Their adventurous were
to win vast glory for the Church,
and so in the name of Almighty
God, most joyously did they slay
without conjunction.
The demon of Spain, burning

and Cortez in Mexico, by treach-
cry and by superiority Of army,
by ambush and by outrage, des-
troyed the civilization of the Incas
and rayished the possessions of |
Montezuma. Everywhere the
thought was supreme to win a
greater realm for the Catholic faith.
But as always with religion lack
ing the true religious clements of
and mercy, it be-
came a mere cloak for greed and
Wickedness indescribable.

that places its hopes for perma-
nency upon a misconception of
Gods character, is building its

In the fifteenth century Spain
was respected power in Europe.
AS nation it had been solidifed
out OF q number Of Christian ele-
ments, by a common antagonism
to the Moorish conquerors. In
the sixteenth century it had grown
to an enormous empire, with vast
territories in the richest portions
Of the New World. Streams of
wealth were constantly pouring
into its Golfers from these con-
quered possessions. At tho close
Of the eighteenth, and the begin
ming of tho nineteenth centuries,
the outlying portions of this vast
nation began one by one to sever
all relations, until at present it re-
tains its hold upon only two sec
tions of any great Importance
Cuban in the West, and the Phil
ippine Islands in the East. Judg-
ing by the past century, and the
loss to Spain Of every possession
in both South and North America,
it seems not unsafe to predict that
the beginning of the twentieth
century will see it return once
moro to tho actual limits Of its
possessions in the fifteenth. Now,
then, what causes have operated to
bring on such decay Of prestige,
while other European nations, like
Germany and England, Russia and
Italy, France and Austria, have
developed and in some measure
kept close together in their devel-
