JERRY SIMPSONS RIDDLE.
How Could the House suspend Busi-
ness When Not Doing Any?

1t took the Speaker just three moments
yesterday to once more suppress the House
5nd solve one OF Mr.. Simpsons eniguas
byTefusing to guessit The House met after
a recess Of twelve hours without the formal
'ty Of engaging in prayer or reading the
journal Under the rules this was not
admissible, for the House was supposed to
be in session. 1t was another of those
little parliamentary fict0ns in which the
Speaker and the House indulge these
Republican times.
A s the Speaker assembled the throne and
picked up the gavel, Mr. Cannon rose to
his feet Mr.. Cannon opened his mouth as
the gavel banged, and, being recognized, +,
moved that the House take another recess
until today at noon The Speaker put the
motion, and heard a chorus Of ayes

Being graciously granted the privilege If
stating it, MI Simpson said: Il desire 10
ask, Nj. Speaker, whether on yesterday
we adjourned or took recess. The resolu-
tion upon which the action of the House
was based says we suspended business
Now, what 1 should like very much to
know is how can a House that is doing
no business suspend businesS?''
This sally caused a roar of laughter all
over the House. Before it ceased the
Speaker whacked his gavel with a re-
sounding lang and shouted: The House

held to he well taken, but he had his
usual fun with the Speaker and was sat

was the name of the club formed We'd
ne8day night at the meeting called for
that purpose at Simmons hall. There
were about seventy-fve wheelmen in

siasm was manifested by those present.

object Of the meeting, and stated that
at present there were about l25 L. A.
w. members in KenOsha, and advised

deal of good work. The main objects
of the club will be. of course, pushing
the work of the L. A. w. and Good

PUSHING THE BIKE PATH.

Cycling Path Association.
The bicycle track between Racine
and Kenosha seems to be an assured
thing. A large number of Racine's
wheelmen held a meeting Tuesday
evening and organized The Racine
Cycling Path Association, " the object
of which is to build a cinder path from
Racine to Berryville The path is to
be four feet wide and so made as to be
disable in wet as well as dry weather
A committee was appointed to inter
view the farmers and property owners
along the route to get their sanction
for the proposed path. The same
committee will visit Kenosha for the
purpose of consulting with oul wheel
men to ascertain just what we are
doing and propose to do. This COM
mittee is composed Of c. Fl Washburn,
L. b. Baker and Frank Fryer. The
association now has about 5000 raised
for the path, and subscription papers
are out looking for more money.

FOUND THE PIN HEAD.
Prof tombstone Drove Straight to It and
Picked It UP.

Prof. Paul Alexander tombstone
successfully performed bis remarkable
feat of finding pin head hidden by q
committee of citizens at about o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, after a perilouS
ride through the city By route Sc
lected by the committee and totally
unknown to the professor.
Prof tombstone selected as the com
mittee to hide the PIN head F. G.. Gull
ley, T. j. Dale and G.. W. Johnston
The committee was furnished with q
carriage and starting from Hotel Grant
the driver was instructed to go north
on Main street, west on Market street
south on West Main street, east OIL
Prairie avenue, around the park
through Main street to Bain's office
The pin head was hidden among some
books on the mantel shelf inside this
office The committee then returned tC
the Grant house.
Here Prof. tombstone took the COM
mittee into a closed room and hanging
map of the city upon the wall asked
all the committee to go over in
mind the route followed while be was
blindfolded and pointed out the route
This was very successfully done. Their
Mr.. Dale took the professors arm and
he led the committee by very rapid
movements out of the room; down the
stairs, into the carriage and with Mr.
Dale still with him with his hand on
the professors arm the drive began.
And such a drive as it was
Absolutely blindfolded and driving
the team at a breakneck speed the
professor followed the route Of the com
mittee to 1T" in every direction
avoiding all teams and instructions
with apparently the greatest ease and
avoiding three big excavations on the
route just as readily as though he had
been able to see all OF them. Com
pleting all the route to the Balm Office
he stopped and ran into the Office,
passing through an outer door and one
inner door and going straight to the
spot and after feeling about moment
found an envelope in which the pin
head was concealed. This he took tC
a table, dumped the pin head out and
then found it on the table before be
took off the bandage upon his eyes.
The feat almost Frustrated the pro
fessor and he had to be assisted back
to the hotel where a physician was in
waiting, who administered restoratives
The feat was the most remarkable
one ever performed in Kenosha and
will not soon be forgotten by the com
mittee, as least, whose hair nearly
stood on end a great portion of the trip
made while the professor was blind
folded. A very large number of people
were on the street to see the feat per
formed, while a big horde of cyclists
followed both the committees trip and
the professors, in some places greatly
complicating the drive.
