Side Combs.

Side combs never were worn SO much.
And never were they 30 long. Some
resemble the combs which extend from
ear to ear which are worn by children.
The material Is shell or imitation. But
they must be put in carefully (outslde
the strands over the rolD In such a way
as not to destroy the rotundity of the
halo. Sets Of three combs, each four
inches long, are also sold.
One arrangement of combs or an
other Is quite necessary for outdoor
use, because the wind Is not respectful
of pompadours. Bangs, decidedly, are
passe. Such stray locks as have not
grown to manageable lengths are curl
ed and allowed to nestle about the fore
head. But they must not have fixed
appearance.
The back hair Is done high or low
according to individual preference Of

Petersen AND HIS BICYCLE.

lures wherein this machine differs ma
terially from the ordinary bicycle is
the weight. Cantilevers range in
weight from the ninepound racer to a
wheel for rough use, which weighs
fourteen pounds.
The construction L. the outcome Of
the inventors desire to secure per-
feet seat. Mr.. Nickall Petersen is q
Dane, residing in England, and he has
been a wheelman for twenty years.
His idea was to enjoy the comfort Of a
hammock on a bicycle, which he ac-
complished by the use Of silk strings
on which the saddle rests.
The front forks are attached to the
rest of the frame by pivot connection
at the top and by strong pivot hinge
at the point shown in the CIT just
where the lower part Of the frame
Joining with the crank hanger goes up
to a point near the top Of the front

The New Bloomer Logging.

1t is surprising what change has
come over our women folk since they
who object to the regular bloomer or
other bifurcated garments have taken
to the short skirt The principal
objection to the old bloomer was its
lack Of neatness. 1t is true that few
women looked well in bloomers, but the
general opinion was that as rule they
were fiat failure and about as attract
i've az football trousers. The new
bloomer Logging has a distinct style of
its own. says writer i'll the Philadel.
phia Press. A skirt is to be worn over
it to the knee. but below the Logging
part ends in a sort Of gaiter,- covering
the stocking and shoe and serving the
double purpose Of protection from cold
and dampness. The upper part is not
bulky. and the lower part fits the leg
snugly from the knee down. The gar.
ment is generally made Of jersey cloth
because it clings so we'll to the figure.
Black is the most serviceable color, but
dark blue and brown are always to be
relied upon to produce good effects One
fair Philadelphia bicyclist has had a
pair of the new bloomer leggings made
entirely of chamois leather which has
been stained soft tan color Another
pair made by the same dealer is Of thin
dogskin AS every bicyclist knows, there
is an advantage about having garment
Of the sort made from some kind OF
tough material This not only protects
the knee from bumps and bruises, but
saves the garment from being torn dur.

Page appealed for retention, citing that
his wife had just presented him with

This settled the case, General Clarkson
holding that that was sufficient for re-

SKETCHES BY NJ. QUAD


One day there arrived at Prairie City
a man from Grizzly Guloh-a bold, bad
man, with long hair, voice like the
roar Of lion and terrible thirst for
rich red blood. He stood on the public
square and whooped till he drew a
crowd. Then he flung down his bat and
cried out that Grizzly Gulch was full
OF bars and rattlesnakes and centipeds
and alligators, but that every varmint
and reptile fed in terror at sound of his
footsteps. He said he had been scalped
by Indians, run over by wild horses,
struck by lightning, pursued by prairie
fire and drawn down by quicksands, but
he still lived and was hungry for hu-
man ears fried in bacon grease. When
things went his way, he was as good
natured as a baby and would 60 mile
out of his way rather than disturb
sleeping coyote, but when things went
wrong, then look out! He could remem.
ber the names of 81 men he had buried,
and he had poor memory at that. He
was naturally peaceful man, but once
aroused he could not hold himself and
would not be responsible for damages.
The stranger continued talking in this
strain for quarter Of an hour, by
which time the crowd had taken his
measure. He had stopped for breath and
was getting ready to jump on his hat
again when a man who had been lean.
