The Bicycle ana the Inn.
'is Iettar In Roston r,ra1sorint

The roadside inn product of the old
coaching days, which was very nearly done
reyiving in France; thanks to the bicycst.
Who would have thought that the gum
tescence of modernite-the biped who rush
es through space on couple of wheels
would have been the chosen instrument OF
Providence for setting the old-fashioned
hostelry again upon it's legs? l am not
thinking of hedge taverns and village
cafes, although these, too, are stimulated
not little by the cyclist, male and female
in skirts and without skirts, but of the
substantial auberges scattered along the
twenty miles distance from one another;
although these rarely presumed TO can
themselves hotels, they were often grand
old places of rest and entertainment in the
diligence days when the horse was needed
to keep the whole machinery of civilization
moving. Now the horse is being made into
sausages, and 1t is the cyclist who is bring
ing life and money back to the wayside
inns that have been able TO struggle
through the long years of depression that
began when the railways turned nearly al
the paying traffic from the highways or
course. the revival of prosperity can only
be partial. for the cyclist has no servants
at his heels, and he makes boast of tray,
cling cheaply. He moreover belongs in all
probability to the Touring Club and by
showing his ticket gets 10 per cent struck
on the bill, which generally includes no
more than dinner, bed and coffee before
the morning start. But 1t occasionally nap
pens that cyclists rush about the country
in bands, and a swarm of them may settle
down upon an auberge like locusts upon
2 tree, with the difference that they pay
for what they devour. But whether they
go IN shoals or singly, the movement OF
cyclists upon the. main roads which are
kept IN sueh perfect condition by a state
department.. is now almost continuous, aaai
as they are the thirsfiest and hungriest ot
gu humanity. they are saving many 3 rufas,
charming associations Of the past IRON

Housekeepers who rejoice in smooth, hard
floors often find the slipping of the rugs
stretched upon them a serious annoyance,
if not positive danger, as falls may easily
ensue from it, rug salesman contributed
the other day this suggestion as a remedy.
wet the rugs thoroughly he said, "and
turn them right side downward until dry.
1t will not hurt them and will relieve this
tendency TO Slip" The explanation is that
the wetting dissolves some slightly gummy
substance used in their treatment, whose
drying makes them slippery.

Every woman should use wire shoulders
upon which to hang her coats but alas
she does not. A pretty gift is made by COW

Don't use the kind you like instead, for they

is a young woman who superintends the
daily piano practice of the children of a

employed their work is frequently much re-

pupils. To be on hand every day during the
time spent at the piano by the young people
of the family is the duty of the assistant
and her careful supervision of practice hours
undoubtedly contributes to the successful

Bonnets and Gowns.

Women who travel in public conveyances
get in the habit of wearing high-necked
dresses and hornets. even to evening func-
tions, which require full dress according to
the laws of social etiquette. The rule for
evening receptions in private houses is even
ing dress, with no hat or bonnet. but usually
at such affairs a large number will be found
to have neglected social dictates. This
makes it difficult for some not regularly
in the swell set to tell what to wear. If a
bonnet is worn it should be mere head

CONFLICTING INTERESTS.
"The money question threatened him.
Christianity has always had to fight, more
or less, what men call vested interests. 1t
did in this beginning of it's birth. Pliny
tells us in his letter to Trajan, written. L
think, in the year 112, that as the result
of his persecution of the Christians there
had been a great increase in the demand
for fodder for cattle raised for sacrifice. 1t
is rather humorous commentary, is it not?
Christianity on the one side and sale of fod-
der for cattle on the other, and the Romans
put the sale OF fodder for cattle ahead. But
still that was one element which Paul had
to confront more than once. In that per-
secution at Philippi, it was because the
Master saw that his gain was gone In the
persecution at EpheSuS it was because the
sales of the images of Diana were inter-
fered with The financial interests were
great that centered around the temple, and
when sacrifices were interfered with and
temple service and payments to pagan
priests lessened there was difficulty and
men were ready to stir up mobs. There
was the race prejudice, very strong between
Jew and Greek And when Paul said to
the Jew, the Christians also have an inher-
itance to the kingdom of God the Jews
were angry and mobbed him. The religious
prejudice was after all strong. And then
Paups own city did not support him.
In the beginning of his career there were
scarcely any of the Christian Church who
believed in his foreign missionary effort
And we shall see, when come to the
Epistle to the Galatians one particular form
of opposition. Paul disregarded and swept
away the whole ceremonial law. And the
conservatives thought that he was going
quite too far. They held a great council
at Jerusalem and the council deliberated on
the question whether pagans could come
into the Christian Church and whether any
body but Jew could be a Christian Now
we are somewhat doubtful whether a Jew
can be one. Then the question was whether
anybody else could be one. And the good
disciples talked it over among themselves
and they said this: We will issue decree
that people may become Christians though
they are pagans. provided they avoid this
and that ard the other, and among the
things they We're TO avoid were meat Of
fered to idols and things strangied and
blood And Paul took the DEGREES and put
them In his pocket and went back carried
them TO the church. but gave his own direc-
ton TO them. He said an idol is nothing in
the world whatever, and meat offered TO an
idol is just as good to eat as another meat

Thousands of women daily achieve wo-
manhood's supremest joy, only to meet, a
few days or weeks or months later, its
supremest sorrow. This is because so
many babies are born into the world with
the seeds of death already sown in their
little bodies. If woman would have
healthy, robust children, strong and able
childhood, she must look before she
leaps"
If woman will take the proper care of
her health in a womanly way, during the
period of prospective maternity, she may
protect herself against much pain and suf-
fering and possible death, and insure the
health of her child. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is the greatest of all medicines
for prospective mothers. 1t acts directly
on the delicate and important organs that
bear the burdens of maternity and makes
them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic.
1t allays inflammation, heals liberation,
1t banishes the usual discomforts of the
expectant period and makes baby's advent
to this world easy and almost painless. It
insures an ample supply of nourishment.
It is the greatest known nerve tonic and
invigorator for women. All good dealers
sell it. Say "No" and stick to it when
urged to accept substitute said to be
just as good as DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription"
"I had mscarried twice and was so weak

\ CHILD SHOT, A BALL FROM A RIFLE TEARS THROUGH THE gHTLD1s
 CHEEK The Loaded Weapon Left Within Reach of the Child Who
 Attempted to Play
 With it.

Saturday morning a most distress ing accident occurred in this city, in the East End, at the home of MT. Arthur Young, an employe of the Cotton Belt railway. Mir. Young was preparing to make visit to the country and proposed to take a Winchester rifle with him. He carried q the weapon to his home and placed it on the floor under 8 bed, and on departing for his trip he forgot the rife. This morning Roy, his little 2 year-old son, saw the weapon and evidently, with childish curiosity, thought it @ pretty plaything, SC he seized hold of the rifle and at tempted to fire it from under the bed. The hammer caught in the carpet and the weapon was dis charged and the heavy ball went crashing through the little ehild's cheek, tearing Q terrible hole and making 8 serious wound. The bal on entering the cheek, ranged down the neck and came out on the back of the shoulder. Fortunately DC bones were broken, and the little one has 8 chance for it's life, though probably 8 very slim one. The child is a grandson of Ratrolman M M. Field.
 This accident is one of many which should teach people not tc leave fire arms within reach ol children.
