Handsome Bicycle Covers.

Even embroidery has its part to play
i'll adding to the CT 'nfort and conven-
fence of cyclists. irst and foremost
come the bicycle covers, made very
neatly and strongly of art serge and
having bold design traced upon them,
ready to be followed with crewels or
with rope flax threads or cable silks. A
large monogram can easily be added,
and an acceptable gift for an enthusi-
nstic rider is thus completed.
a less ambitious task is the embroid-
cry of suitable monogram or initial
upon one OF the new handle covers -
These are intended to he laid over the
handle frames Of pet machines that arc
out of use, and as they are made of felt
lined with sclvyt they are of use in
keeping the polished portions of the
cycles from becoming furnished or

The High Handshake.

these, tho high handshake," is to be
chronicled thankfully as becoming obso-
lete. says the Now York Herald, which
says: 1t has for several years been the
absurdest burlesque Of friendly greeting.
There is an "etcr%sl fitness even in
email matters, and the simple hand
shake seemed moro i'll consonance with
the dress of this century. The thigh

extended to level with ones nose and

We are in receipt Of u letter from o
boy in Indiana who wants to subscribe
for The Kicker, but his father won't let
him because no has heard that all Ari-
zona editors play poker. Tho boy asks
us if this is so. Yes, my son, your To-
Their is right. While the game of poker
was not invented exactly for the bene-
fit Of western editors, they have sort Of
drifted into it until they como to feel an
ownership. Eastern editors, us we un-
derstand it, run to checkers, fox and
geese and betting so cents on horse
race, but out here we have but one di-
version. We play poker when we are
joyous and we play it when we are sad.
Once in awhile an editor plays it to
mako money, but he is soon given the
cold shoulder. 1t is nice, quiet game,
with lots Of surprises in it, and if an
editor happens to win anything he al.
ways remembers the heather. Gould we
take your father in hand for an hour or

opinion, but as that is impossible We
can only feel sorry for you.
