had received a telegram announcing
that Governor Atkinson had pardoned
Fred. Stack, convicted about two
weeks ago of killing Edward Pearl on
last Fourth Of July, and sentenced to
four months in Jail, in addition to
paying a fine of $3.50. The Cover

Johnny entered to get MS trouser

J0HNNY'S FIRST BICYCLE,
AND
THE WAY HE EARNED IT.
A True Story Of a New Jersey Dairy
Farm.
BY A. sATrERTHWAITE.

Johnny Bakers father was opposed
to bicycles. Johnny lived out in the
country on a big dairy farm and long
ed very much to possess bike" but
his father had been SO annoyed by bad
city boys riding out to his place, steal
ing his watermelons and robbing his
orchard, that he had conceived a bitter
dislike for wheels and wheelmen in
general. And Johnny's pleadings and
utterly failed to overcome his fathers
prejudice.
One day Johnny's sick city cousin
came out to the farm on long visit
for the benefit of his health and
brought his bicycle with him. john
ny was delighted and Immediately took
advantage of the long-sought oppor-
tunity to learn to ride. AS the weeks
went by his cousins health improved
very slowly, thus Johnny got chance
to ride the wheel great deal himself,
and in short time became quite pro-
ncient in its use. But finally his uncle
came to take his cousin home, and
Johnny felt very blue when he con-
sIdered that it would be a long time
before he would again have the oppor-
tunity to engage IN the eXhillaratlng
paStlme.
The morning his cousin was to go
home johnny sol up bright and early,
SO as to take one long last ride. Hur-
