Bicycle

If in the country you come upon 4
woman who has in any way broken
her bicycle or punctured her tire, it is
perfectly proper 1n,l a gentlen aus
duty, to offer to help her. 1t would be
distinctly impolite to offer similar help
in a city. The city is full of repair
shops, there are cabs at any
and q woman can easily help herself
there. In the country the case is diff
fereDt. In fact the rules of etiquette
between men and women On bicycles
are precisely ire same as they are lr
tween men and women in carriages or
in any other ordinary circumstances.
The question of costume is an impur-
tant one, also. Every bicyclist, esrr-
cially men, should remember hat.

Over in Switzerland the people are
very fond of snails-Almost as fond as
the American boy is of mince pie. 1t
long age became Impossible for even
sharp-eyed snail-hunters to find all the
snails they could sell. and SO, some Of
the clever Swiss have started snail
farms. AS you may imagine. they are
odd places, only a few rods square and
divided into small parts, separated by
fences about two feet high. with nails
along the top to prevent the snails
from running away. Little arbOrs Of
moss are provided for the snails, as
shelter from the sun, for SnailS do not
like the sun. If there is not lime or
chalk in the earth of the farm the
farmer sprinkles it about. Snails eat
cabbage, salad, nettles and dandelion.
They seem to be most hungry after a
ain.
The harvest time for snails is the lat
ter part of August or the first of Sep

houses are considered fat, and are the

audience to its close.
Mr.. j. w. Thompson, a teacher
in the Graded School at Rock
Hill, was the next speaker. His
subject was 1.-The Political and
Civil Results of the Assembly,"
His address showed both great
study and thought, was clear and
comprehensive and delivered in
handsome style, and was heard
with pleasure by the large con-
course present.
"Our Calvinistic Theology" by
the Rev. G. w. Humphreys, was
the next topic under discussion.
DIR. Humphreys was limited in
time to fifteen minutes, during
which he gave a strong statement
of the fundamental principles
underlying this system. He spoke
in a conversational tone and i'm
pressed the audience with his
learning and power.
At an evening session of the
Presbytery, beginning at SIS,
three addresses were delivered.

the enthusiasm of the audience
and carried it to its highest point.
And TIN, celebration closed amid

hearers and the gladness of the
Calvinists that they were associa.

The greatest interest has been
taken in the exercises by all de
nominations of the town, and the
house was constantly crowded
One feature which added greatly
to the occasion was the excellent
singing by the choir of the Pres
byterian Church at this place.
Their music was inspiring, and
gave a oulstirring effect to the
meeting which it otherwise would
not have possessed. The choir is
led by Prof w. III. Witherow. Mr..
j. G. McCants, whose voice is
well cultivated, carries the tenor
part admirably. The bass is car
ried by Messrs. j. l.. and w. A.
Beatty. Miss Ella b. Doty, the
leader of the soprano, is an ac-
complished singer, and is ably as
sisted by Misses Rebecca Buch,
anan and Lila Beatty. The alto is
carried by Misses Mamie Thomp-

son and Laura Gerig. The supra
no singers are we'll sustained by
Mrs. j. M. Beatty, Miss Mary
Witherow presides at the organ,
and Messrs j. w. Seigler and @.
M. Chandler performed their part
on the cornets. The entire com
plement sustained their reputa
ton on this occasion.
The most instructive part OF
the exercises were the addresses
on Friday touching the origin, ma
ture and bearing of the West
minister Assembly and its work.
To attempt to give detailed re-
port of the subjects discussed un-
der this head would be an impo-
sition on your columns, bnt they
are all worthy of full publication.
Many, even elderly, members
were edited and greatly enlight-
ened on the ground work of their
faith.
The first speaker was DR.. w. Il.
Hall, of Columbia: ssThe West
minister Assembly; The Causes
which Led to it its Environ
ments." The speaker prefaced his
remarks by saying that the sub
Ject was matter of history, and.
being such, ne would simply read
the history pertaining to it. He
recited the ordinance of the Lords
and Commons in Parliament, call
ing the Assembly together June
-, 1913, setting forth the causes
and reasons for such assembly,
stating that the reading was nee
essary because the ordinance is
inaccessible to many, and further
it suggests all the topics presented
in the discourse. The body of the
discourse was comprehensive
recital of the causes which led to
the calling 'of the Assembly by
Parliament. and the circumstances
which surrounded the Assembly.
Along with these was a clear
statement of the constituent ele.
ments composing this body, and
an account of the mode of con
Quoting its business and delibera-
tions.
After the address proper was
finished the speaker called atten-
ton to two chapters in the Con
fession of faith. which, he said,
were pertinent to the occasion
and not likely TO be emOraced
under the subsequent a. .resses.
The first was that the Comics
sion begins with a chapter on the
Word of God. Protestantism IN
general, as well as PRESBYTERIAN
ism, POUNDS on the Scriptures.
Here 1T parts company with ra-
tionalism, mysticism and Roman
ism.
The second was that the Con,
iession has chapter on the cove
nants. The theology of the Con
fession is federal in character. 1t
may be held where the Covenants
are not distinctly apprehended ;
but the covenants cannot be held
and Calvanism rejected.
The matter being strictly his.
torical, DIR. Hall made no effort
at oratory, but the discourse was

CHICAGO, June 26.-July and September
wheat changed places today in point of spec
ulative interest; July started out with the
usual corner" scare, but before the session
was half over September was commanding
the attention of most Of the traders, and
was much the stronger at the close. Final
prices showed Zee advance in July and IA
Q1asc rise in September Other markets
were dull and neglected. Corn closed I'M
changed; oats a shade higher, and provisions
unchanged to 71ac lower
Nothing else before the vision of wheat
traders at the opening, but the evergrowing
spectre Of July corner. The usual news
of the day had little to do with the fuctua-
tons. Traders watched the brokers, who
were supposed to be doing the bidding for
the men who were credited with manipulate
ing July, and they bought or sold so did
the crowd. Wheat started at a tremendous
pace, and Its first jump was at 1205sc per
blu, 7212@72$4c being quoted at the opening.
This was followed by few bounds which
took the price to- 1890. That appeared to
be the height of it's ambition for a while,
and during the remainder of the first hour
it INDUCED in a series of erratic sputters.
From 7312c down TO 7212c, up again to 73Hc,
and back again to 73e, were some of the
more noticeable of its gyrations. September
"HedI dl nearly &c below the price July
was bringing, was strangely neglected for
time. 1t opened at 64Ac, compared with
649sc, its closing price on the day before.
After touching 647sc, 1t hung between that
and 649sc, with very little doing in it for an
hour. Then it suddenly sprang into activity.
So lively did the9,demand become that July
was for time neglected, and September
rose to &c., Much of the September buying
was supposed to come from the same source
as the July buying. The receipts at Chicago
were " cars Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of 293 cars against 800 last
year. The weeks exports of wheat and flour
from both coasts were 2,156 900 blu, against
Z,S37,OOO bu year ogo. Argentine did not
snip any wheat to Europe this week. Sep

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, June 26.-TCday's stock mar
ket showed a subsistence Of the apprehen-
sion caused yesterday by the volume OF the
gold shipments for the day and the week,
and turned again to the bull side with
greater animation and confidence than ever.
The theorist in favor of a necessary reaction
in the market were busily at work on this
basis and sought strenuously to bring about
the reaction which they confidently maintain
is long overdue in the market, and must
come Immediately. The st. Paul statement
for May showing an increase in gross earn
ings of $101, 49, and in net OF $11S496, was
the first influence to stem the downward
course of prices. The low point of the
morning was a Slight fraction below last
nights close in many stocks. The rally was
characterized by great animation and by
heavy dealings, the prominent stocks chang
ing hands in large blocks. Burlington was the
leader of the market in point Of activity,
and was carried up ~ from the low point
and held there until the close. Rock Island
which came next in point of activity, was
2% from the low pont on reports that the
directors decided on a policy of in
creasing the dividend rate. Northwestern,
on the other hand, showed notable hating
in its advancing tendency as compared with
others OF the granger group. st. Paul
gained rs on It's statement of earnings but
the early decline left its net gain only *
per cent. Tobacco was very active and
showed marked strength advancing 2A with
a net gain of 2. Sugar occupied fourth place
in the list in point Of activity, but
parent restraint. Selling for account of a
large inside interest is variousy attributed
to purpose to keep the price down a
matter of policy, during the tendency of the
tariff bill and a desire to realize through fear
that he sugar schedule will be altered in the
conference between the houses of
congress. Bay State fell ~ but fully re-
covered. Colorado Fuel registered a further
net decline, after an early advance of frac-
ton. Net gains in the case of Rock Island

the peop asra Was r. ns soprasns 0t
of an impossibility by Judge Kidder,
Qf the territorial Supreme court Judge
kidder had been delegate to con-
gress, and carried his effects in one
of those heavy boxes which are fur
nlshed congressman for their books
and papers. 1t was, as you know,
about four feet long and one foot wide
and about fourteen inches high. When
packed it weighed about 200 pounds.
Judge kldder was a large man, some
what adipose, and therefore not very
strong and active. Ordinarily he could
1T a rod. But when he escaped from
the burning hotel, he shouldered that
box, and carried it through the streets
to the hills, and then walked up 260
wooden steps leading to my house on
the hillside. He did it, too, without
stopping to rest. l always told the
judge afterwards, that he had accom-
plished the impossible. and he agreed
with me, saying: I couldn't carry that
box half way up the hill for $1,000 I'M
der ordinary circumstances
How long did the cavalry remain
with your"
MY recollection is that they only
remained two days. They were not
needed even for half that length of
time. We merely wanted them to ap-
pear for the purpose Of making show
of force, which is always necessary IN
order to impress the lawlessly inclined.
If they had galloped up the gulch and
back again, L suppose that that would
have been all that was necessary.
Nothing was said by them to any of
our people. They just showed that
they were within reach and that was
sufficient. 1t was fortunate for us,
though, that they came, for we might
have had some trouble with few Of
our people, but for the display of force.
However, the majority of our citizens
were industrious, law-abiding citizens,
even at that early day. AT present we
have one of the most prosperous cities
in the West. Instead of depending on
teamsters to bring our supplies across
the Sioux reservation, we have two
trunk lines we'll equipped for passen-
ger and freight traffic, and are no
longer isolated from the world, but we
consider ourselves a part of the bust
ness world and quite a factor in it too.
Our city is no longer one of frame
dwellings, and business houses. but we
have many handsome substantial brick
houses and blocks. The Deadwood of
former days is almost a dream now,
but it was a good town and the people
demonstrated an amount of heroiSm
and independence in time Of trouble
and peril, which are Incompatible. I
was proud Of them then and am proud
of them now; proud to be a citizen Of
such a place.
