DREAD OF DEATH.
Dwight l.. Moody's Boyish Horror OF
the Grim Destroyer.

Dwight l.. Moody's Boyish Horror OF
the Grim Destroyer.
What most concerns US is the rela-
ton which Christ's resurrection has to
our death and future life, says the evan
gelist in the Ladies' Home Journal. So
many people live in fearful dread Of
death and the grave, I believe, just be-
cause they do not study this doctrine.
They speak Of death and the judgment
with shudder, and their vision seems
to be unable to pierce beyond. I well
remember how in my native village in
New England it used to be customary,
as funeral procession left the church.
for the bell in the buryirg ground to
toll as many times as the deceased was
years old. How anxiously I would count
those strokes of the bell to see how long
I might reckon on living. Sometimes
there would be 20 or so tolls, and /
would give sigh Of relief to think !
had so many years to live. But at other
times there would be only few years
tolled, and then a horror would seize
me as thought that /, too, might soon
be claimed as a victim by that dread
monster, Death. Death and judgment
were constant source of fear to me
till realized the fact thatneitber shall
ever have any hold on a child of God.
In his letter to the Romans Apostle
Paul has showed, in most direct Ian
guage, that there is no condemnation
for child Of God, butheis passed from
under the power of law, and in the
epistle to the Corinthians he tells us
"there is natural body and there is a
spiritual body" sand. as we have borne
the image of the earthly, we shall also
bear the image of the Heavenly"

TILT IN THE BICYCLE GYMKHANA


walls down the hall three potatoes on
the right and three potatoes on the
left, the same distance apart. When
the signal is given girl on a bicycle
starts down the right side, man rides
down the left side, until they reach
the potato which is farthest down the
line. They dismount, pick up the po-
tato and carry it on their wheel back
to the leader, dropping it at his feet.
They turn, ride back, dismount for the
second potato, ride with it back to the
leader, and SO on, until they have each
gathered up their row. Usually girl
will mount more quickly than a man,
and is, therefore, more apt to win in q
potato race. Two more couples try
their skill in this direction, and then
there is a final heat for the winners.
Next comes an overture by the band,
when fancy riding may be introduced,
and a clown and possibly stuffed fig.
ure tied on to his bicycle will make q
little extra fun.
The fifth feat might be the winding
of May pole by IL little girls in white
dresses and garlands on their heads
and their bicycles also bedecked with
paper roses. Then follows an obstacle
race. Two long benches are placed
across the hall, another at the extreme
end of the hall, on which rests box
of soda crackers, and at the upper end
of the hall table containing several
glasses of lemonade. When all is ready
signal is given and four young men
on their wheels ride down the center:
lift their bicycles over the intervening
benches, mount again, ride up to the
cracker box, dismount, eat one cracker
and return as them came, pausing at
the table to drink glass of lemonade
after which they make complete cir.

may be allowed that word, by 16 men

figures of the lancers, circling around
each other instead of turning part

making one of the prettiest items OF
the evening.

FUN ON THE BICYCLE
The Gymkhana IL Rare Sport for
SkiIlfuI Woman Riders.


skillfuI Woman Riders.
The gymkhana is a sort of bicycle
tournament that English women, and
men, too, began to indulge year or
two ago. The word is Indian, and i'm
plies our idea of circus. The feats
of the "gymlhana" can be performed
in the open or in a large hall. Tits not
warm fun for a scorcher. 1t is a grace
full and temperate sport, more like a
quadrille than handicap.
The men taking part may wear white
knickerbockers, red coats, red and
white jockey caps, red stockings and
white shoes, the girls white duck
skirts, red and white striped shirt
waists, red leather belt, white sailor
hat with red band, red stockings and
white shoes. To carry out the effect
the costumes should be identical.
The entertainment opens with an
overture by the band, followed by a
musical ride by 16 ladies and gentle
men, mounted on wheels, which have
been decorated with red and white rib
bons. They circle slowly around the
hall once, then down the center in twos,
then in tours, then eight in row, and
lastly 16 straight across. When the
lines are kept true the effect is delight
full. Then they wind like the letter
in single file. from the top of the hall
down and back, then the ladies start
from one corner, the gentlemen from
the opposite, and they cross each other,
one at time, near the center, forming
a letter X. They end by forming a
ring in the center and winding in and
out until the leader has been to the
center and out again. Then they ride
out to the dressing-rooms and that
completes the musical ride.
Next may come potato race. The
leader comes out and places at inter

FLY DUG THE SPIDERS GRAVE.
Grave Digger Took the Measurement
of His Victim Eight Times.

OF HIS victim Eight Times.
Samuel Simon, Sr., a well-known resi-
dent of Neshannock township, Pa,
while strolling near his home one day
recently noticed a fly about half an
inch long, and of dark blue color, with
slim body, bearing a large dead spider,
reports the New Castle Democrat. The
fly crossed his path and laid his load
down. 1t then went about IS inches in
another direction and commenced dig
ging a hole in the ground. His curl
osity being excited, he stopped and
watched the work. After the fly had the
hole dug about half the length of him.
self he went to where he had left the
spider and took his dimensions. After
going back to the hole he found it was
not big enough and commenced Dig
ging again. After taking out a guam
tity of earth he again went to the
spider and took his dimensions. He did
this eight times and as often enlarged
the hole. When the busy little fellow
had the hole too deep for him to throw
the earth clear out he would go on to
the bank and force it back with his
feet. After he had the excavation large
enough for his purpose he went for
the spider and took it to the grave, for
such it proved to be, and dragged it
to the mouth Of the hole. After he had
the body in he covered it with fine earth
dust and finished by placing a small
piece of cinder on top. When he had
