IT WAS A STRANGE MIX-UP.
How the Theft of a Bicycle Led to EN-
barrassing Complications.


B.. who lives far up town, had occa-
sion to visit a bicycle store on the boule-
ward few days ago. He left his wheel
outside, near the rack In which stood
several machines for rent.
While he was attending to his errand
inside the shop he CHANGED to glance
out through the door just in time to see
a man spring upon his unguarded wheel
and ride off at a furious pace down the
street With an exclamation Of rage,
B. rushed to the sidewalk, seized one of
the wheels from the rack, and started
off in hot pursuit of the thief.
The proprietor Of the shop stood for a
moment aghast He had not seen the
beginning of the trouble, and the only
thing clear to him was that his sup
posedly honest customer had made an
astonishingly bold attempt to steal a
wheel from the rack.
There was only one thing to be done.
Jumping upon another wheel. he Joined
in the chase, and the three scorched up
the boulevard in admirable racing style.
The real thief proved the poorest rider
of the three, as the shopKeeper was I'M
questionably the best, and the result of
this state of affairs was that the dis
tances between the different members of
the trio grew speedily less.
As they drew together. a truck crossed
the avenue, crowding them into a small
space The rate at which they were
going precluded any dsmounting, and
the three came into collision with re-
sounding crash. Before they had fairly
extricated themselves a policeman APP
peared
His first proposition was to. run them
an in" for scorching, but, impressed by
the unusual excitement Of MS prisoners,
who seemed to be more disturbed in mind
than ordinary scorchers, he waited to
hear their stories.
This, as may be imagined, was no
short task. The genuine thief was the
only one who saw humor in the situa-
ton. Knowing that he had nothing to
say for himself. he stood by and grinned
while the shopkeeper and his customer
spu.tered out angry and conflicting ac-
counts Of the affair.
But the truth was finally ascertained.
AS he collared the guilty man and dis
missed the other two the policeman an
nounced that no charge of scorchinr
would be pressed against anybody.
If have two or three more cases like
this to settle,' he remarked to a bv
stander, its a. lawyer I'll be calling my
self instead of an officer."-New York
Tribune.

THE POWER OF PEACE.


Truth needs no champions; in the infinite
deep
OF everlasting Soul her life abides.
From Natures heart her mighty pulses leap
Through Natures veins. her strength,
undyng. tides.
Peace is more strong than war. and gentle
ness,
Where force were vain. makes conques's
DER the wave;
And love lives on and hath power to bless
When they who loved are hidden In the
grave.
I watch the circle OF the eternal years,
And read forever in the stcried page
One heightened roll Of blood, and wrong
and tears,
One onward step OF Truth from age to
age.
No power can die that over wrought Tor
Truth;
Thereby law of Nature 1t became, =,
And lives unwithered in its sinewy youth
When he who called 1t forth Is but

Dnltimore's Rainy Day Club.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The first rainy and muddy day In March
In Baltomire city was Thursday, and 200
of the $50 members of the Women's Rainy
Day club kept the pledge they had signed
and appeared on the streets in skirts that
swung three inches from the ground. 1t
was noticeable fact. however. that nearly
every one OF them wore dainty new boots
with fancy kid tops.
Not few, through force of habit. when
crossing the muddy streets involuntarily
clutched at the back Of their skirts and
thoughtlessly raised them higher than they
would have done had they been longer.
Some wore rain boots with stout soles, but
few If any wore rlihhers.
Some of the short skirts were worn BY
middle-aged women. but the majority of
the wcarcrs were under 30.
The executive committee of the club Is
| now in correspondence with women IN
| other large cities. both East and West. with
n view to the adoption of the Baltimore
rainy day skirt.

,au rh,s ia tho way tho shake

stage fal, This is the way the shake
works Two persons meet and clasp hands
in the ordinary way. Then still holding
hands, there is percepuble pause OF
few seconds, and each Is apparently In
spirod by a sudden impulse to make the
greeting more cordial and less conven-
tional. AS though by an afterthought, the
two draw each other closer and give each
others hands a hearty squeeze. a very
perceptible interval between the clasp ana
shake is indispensable to the proper carry
ing out of tho now greeting. That's Were
the trouble comes in. If one shaker under
stands this and the other doesnt bumped
nose. bruised head or twisted back is liable
to follow the sudden jerk. But If both un-
dergtand what might be well termed the
glad hand. things are somewhat equai'Ivu'
ond nothing more or less than a healthy
vibration of the whole body results.

Clubs.

Tuesday was red letter day with the
pers were read upon the following subjects:
Progress in Medical Science" Cathode
Rays" Photography" Electrical Appli-
ances" and Geological Changes"
a paper upon scientific subject is no
small undertaking. 1t is not composed OF
few SMILES and poetlcal quotations, but
Of hard wrought facts woven in an enter
tanning manner. The papers OF Tuesday
were all that could be desired, aud 1t Is
only regret that the outside world ia not

generally conceded that no day at the club
