A BICYCLE TRAGEDY.
A Rash Youth Who Did Not Respect his
sweetheart's Preference.

SWeetnehrtb IToioEohcoss
He was full of Joy and why shouldn't
he be? Wasn't he riding brand-aew
wheel, and in another moment
wouldn't he be by the side Of the crea-
ture he adored above all else in the
world? asks the Ohio State Journal.
Yea, at times he was even constrained
to believe he thought more OF this
beautiful girl that he did of his bike.
He dismounted, opened the gate ana
with proud step came up the grav-
eled walk, leading his wheel. On the
porch stood the girl who was his pronl-
ised wife. A happy light shone from
her eyes and the glad smile Of welcome
she gave him made the young man
feel at peace with the world. Suddenly
the :arl cast swift glance at the new
wheel. She trembled and then grew
pale. The happy look fled from her
eyes and a sudden flush of indignation
swept over her beautiful features.
Drawing herself up proudly she cast a
whitening glance upon the young man
and said in choked voice: 9.
"Henceforth, Wheeler Sprocket, we
meet as strangers. Our engagement is
at an end You have shown yourself
in your true colors. A man who will
not respect the feelings of his sweet
heart will not love his wife. Go, l say
and never let me look upon your false
face again. Oh, l hate you!" and she
stamped her tiny foot upon the floor.
To say young Sprocket was thunder
struck at this unlooked-for and unac'
countable outburst Of passion from the
girl he adored would put it mildly,
indeed. What had he done? he asked
himself Was the girl temporarily in
sane or was she only rehearsing her
part in some private theatrical, where
in she had the role Of the innocent
victim of mans perfdy? Bracing
himself up to the occasion, he managed
to exclaim:
Marguerite, l can't understand youl
strange actions. Have really offended
you in any way?"
Offended me, Wheeler Sprocket
You have grossly insulted me. Oh
how thankful l am that l discovered
your true nature before it was toc
later and the look of scorn she gave
him almost crushed him.
But, dearest" pleaded the young
man, you will at least tell me what
have done to offend you So
Eyes," exclaimed the girl, in mock
ing tone, 81 would play the innocen,
If / were you. Buy different make
of wheel from mine, parade 1t before
my very eyes and then ask me what
you have done!'
Whereupon Marguerite Hamilton
whirled upon her heel, entered heI
home and Wheeler Sprocket, realizing
there was no hope for a reconciliation
mounted his new wheel and rode away

Bicycle AnventIOne.

Nearly one-fourth of the patenu.
granted at this time relate to the bicy-
Gle. There are all kinds Of devices
from small tools to the whole wheel. So
many kinds of wheels are made and the
wheels are used for so many purposes
that patents concerning the various
parts are very numerous. Almost every
use to which wheel is put will point
the way to patent to improve the
service. Then there are constant ex-
periments in chains, handle-bars,
spokes, tires, frames, pedals, and in
fact, every part of the machine. 1t
would seem that with so many patents
issued every week the bicycle would
soon become perfect. - Washington

ANIMAL COMEDIANS.
Ringing Bros. Create Sensation
with the, Loekhart Elephants.

The announcement that Lockhart's
famous comedy elephants have been Sc
enred ~ BY the noted kingllng Bros Tor
has created a sensation throughout the
United States. The Lockhart comedy ele-
plants are universally acknowledged to
be the most rnarve1ous1y trained animal
actors in the world. In Europe, where
they have recently been 5delighting vast
continental audiences, they created YER
liable furore and excited more widespread
interest than any arenic feature ever pre-
sented, even in the far-famed circuses of
Paris, Berlin and st. Petersburg. These
from the old familiar order of elephant
performances. They are not simply
TRAINED animals they are veritable
animal actors, displaying as much
probation of the 1uinor of their several
roles and as sincere desire to please and
entertain the public as any performer in
the great exhibition. Their work is dis
tinctly unconventional. They present
none of the stereotyped tricks that con-
slant repetition has familiarized with the
public, but give a performance that is at
once new, startling and unique. Imagine
a troupe of elephants, each attired in
costume BETTING the character it por-
trays, presenting complete comedy.
yet it is absolutely true Perhaps the
most amusing comedy presented bythese
elephant actors is one portray1ng the ar
rest, trial, conviction and incarceration of.
an elephant for intoxication. The specta-
Gle of the clown elephant, rolling from side
to side, apparently in the last stages of a.
drunken spree, is ludicrous in the ex-
IRENE. In the midst of his revely, the POI
liceman arrives, armed cap-a-pie with a
huge official helmet and jauntily twirling
club in his trunk. The offending ele-
plant attempts to escape but the police
man is too quick for him The offender RI, is
magistrates's office, so1emnly tried and
sentenced by an elephant judge sitting in in
bench, and finally hurried away, q con-
demned prisoner, to suffer durance in the
elephant Jail. In addition to the several
comedies presented by the Lockhart ele-
plant comedians, these wonderful ami
NAL entertainers dance, march, perform
the most difficult and intricate military
1naneuvers, play upon musical 1nstru ,
betray nunaberIess other evidences .sdt Len Of
Although they can give an entire per
Torrance, these wonderful elephant act
ors constitute only one of hundreds of SUI
perb features only to be seen with Ring
ling Bros famous exhibition, which
comes in all its magnificent completeness

REPLIES TO JAPAN.

Hawaiian Government Intends to Vigor-
ously Enforce Immigration Laws.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-The follow
ing Hawaiian advices were brought by
the steamer Peru: The Hawaiian gov
ernment, in it's reply to Japan, refused
to coincide with the views held by that
country on the sending back of 523 Jap
anese immigrants brought by the Kin
iani March g. Official notice has been
given Japan that the immigration laws
of Hawaii are to be vigorously upheld
The answer of Japan is that while the
right of the government to pass reason
able laws respecting immigration is not
denied, it is contended that if the con-
tentions of the Hawaiian officials wero
correct the immigration laws of tn,
country are in contravention of the
treaty existing between these countries.
