AN OLD FARMERS MISTAKE.

Sold HIS Apple Crop and Thought He Had

Illinois Correspondence Of the st. Louis

Congressman Campbell lives at McLeans-
borough. He represents more acres of
apple orchards than any other member of
the present House of Representatives He
says he doesn't know much about the
profits of the apple business, having been
pretty closely employed with the cares Of
craftsmanship.
But" continued the Congressman, II

orchard of considerable size which is old

II you see any farm buyers coming
along, send them out to my place he
said.
When the apple buying time came
round, the town man met one of the buv-
ers from the east, and in the course of a
conversation remarked to him that he
thought he knew where he could buv an
orchard crop few miles out. The buver
was ready to go and look, and the town
man accompanied him. They went to this
old farmers place. They walked through
the orchard gracefully and the buyer ex-.
ahmed the apples critically. The old

was impossible to carry on much CONVEX

man. INC oiu

AfttS- their summer vacation the school
children of Paris are school bound again

guarded the children are on their way TO

children of the worKing-class are gath

theirs take turns in leading the little pro-
cession to school.

this care is taken to insure the school

LOVERS CURIOUS OATH.
Taking Revenge for Their Disappoin'

Taking Revenge for Their Disappoint-
ment in Novel Ways.
Apart altogether from the breach Of
promise question, there is always an
element of danger in putting a proposal
Of marriage on paper as young mechan-
ic who was enamored Of pretty maiden
discovered some time ago. He wrote a
letter expressive of his undying love for
honeyed terms to become hts wife, but un-
fortunately he neglected to fasten it Sc
curely, and the envelope opened out in
the post. When the maiden got the let
ter in was marked, Found open and Of
ficially sealed and she was SO convinced
that the postoffice clerks had been read
ing the proposal that she cried for very
shame, and at once wrote an indignant
reply, saying that she could not marry
man who was careless enough to expose
billet doux to the prying gaze of govern
ment officials.
This severe rebuff cut the mechanic
to the heart, and fastening to the resi-
dence OF the fair one he elOQuently
pleaded for forgiveness. But the maid
en- wouldn't listen, and forbade him to
come near her or to speak to her again.
WhereupOn the poor mechanic, almost
beside himself with rage and disap-
pointment, swore that he would never
again make use of the postoffice, either
directly or indirectly. This vow he has
stubbornly kept, and for the past four
years he has never bought postage
stamp or used sheet of writing paper.
Deserted by his lady love, a middle
aged doctor once procured a Testament,
tragically kissed it, and affirmed in SOL
emn tones that he would not again
speak to woman, whether young or
old. 1t was foolish oath, but in his
loveless condition he felt equal to any
thing, and from that moment rigidly
carried out his determination. Heed
less of the harm which he did to his
practice, he fatty refused to see any fe-
male patients, and even went so far as
to advertise in the local papers that he
once and forever adjured womankind.
His headstrong action, besides DAM
aging his medical reputation to a seri-
Gus extent, landed him in endless diff
culties and complications, but he never
wavered in his purpose, and became
one of the most confirmed misogynists
in the country.-Collier's Weekly.

where it is as hard work as wheeling
9 bicycle up, but on q level it is very
hne, and going down hill it is the
grandest sport in the world.
These skates threaten to take the
place Of the regular ice skate, though
skaters say this is impossible, but the
fact that the bicycle skate can go
either ashore or on ice insures its pop
ularity for several months in the win
ter.
The dress of bicycle skater should
be warm, and there come some elder
down patterns that are very fine for
this. They are not very heavy and
they have little figure in them
which makes them very good dress
goods. In Canada and where they
have ice carnivals, they wear this
kind of dress good deal and they
also have a blanket goods which is
ideal for skating. The sweater is the
popular garment for mems wear, and
as the men are going bicycle skating
this winter the sweater promises to be
as fashionable as it is comfortable.
Bicycle skating comes in with the
gathering of autumn leaves. Just
fancy skating out to your favorite old
stretch of woods and wheeling over
the dead leaves until you come to a
tree brilliant with foliage.

the academy to learn how to ride her
wheel. With roller skates any anna
teur could manage well enough
The difficulty in bicycle skating is
in the balancing. When you first step
on your bicycle skates you find you
cannot stand up; you cannot really
stand on them anyway. You must
keep going all the time just like the
| bicycle. Trick skaters can stand still,
but it is an achievement. After a
little practice you find that you learn
| how to hold your feet and ankles; and
| then the first thing you know you are
bicycle skating.
The advantage of the bicycle skate
| over the old roller skate is great. II
takes you along at the rate of fifteen
| miles an hour, and the poorest skater
tcan go five miles an hour. The wheels
are large enough to cover a great deal
of ground in a little while, and each
time you strike out with the foot you
are borne along from eight to twelve
feet before you can stop yourself.
The trick is to skate on one foot as
far as you can. Then strike out with
the other, going a long distance with
that one; and so on. You keep on
striking out alternately right and left,
holding out Us long as you can each
time, UHtlI you have covered the
ground, IN skating on the ice you do
not try to do this. Your skates travel
over only two or three feet of ice at a
time, but with the bicycle skate you
are carried long distance, and that
is the advantage of the bicycle skate.
The roller skates are crude things
at best, although they are now COM
ing in again, but the bicycle skate has
little pneumatic tire upon it just like
the wheel OF bicycle; and like the
wheel it is liable to puncture, and
must be pumped up now and then.
They do make these tires of solid rub
Der, but they are apt to be heavy. so
that the genuine bicycle skater likes
the hollow tube the best.
The kind of shoe to wear with this
is important. Women do not like IN
give up their French heel shoes. even
in the interests of skating. and espe- |
cially when the sport shows off the
loot to such advantage Therefore. |
they are using a corked soul with /
rather high heel upon which the bicy- |
Wv SnHtO ID SidApCu. mere is a small ]
cleat that catches the soul under the /
lnstep and high one that clamps on |

foot secure
Men skate on the bicycle skate as
well as women, and for coasting there
IS not its equal in the world To coast
you start out with one foot, and when
you get good momentum you bring
the other foot up to It, just as when
sliding along a slippery street, and
then you coast down to the foot Of the
hill, guiding yourself by turning your

Bicycle Skating Will Take the Place
of Other Jack Frost Games.
So the Experts Say-You Can Go
Sixteen Miles an Hour Without
firing Yourself-Far Ahead of
Snow Shoes.

When the ground gets too frozen for
bicycle riding there is going to be
bicycle skating. The bicycle skate is
new implement lately put on the
market 1t is like the roller skate,
but the rollers are larger and they
are shaped so that they extend back
of the heel and front of the toe. The
foot is upon steel support in between
the rollers.
Learning to skate on roller skates
is easy, compared with skating on
bicycle skates. A bicycle skater has
to go to school to learn how to manage
ner skates, Just as she once went to
