A BAD PRACTICE.
Bicyclists Should Not Ride With
out HandIebars.

Common sense. without city ordi-
nance back of it, should prompt wheel
men not to do their trick riding on
the public streets 1t is difficult enough
for any bicyclist to get through crowds
of vehicles and pedestrians without
causing accidents, and riding without
the use of handlebars should be stop
ped-peaceably, if possible, but forcibly
if necessary.
Last evening rider was displaying
on street his supposed ability to
manage his wheel without calling into
reQuisition the handlebars, and the re-
suit was he collided with and knocked
down q woman.
1t is a practice that should never be
indulged in except in a vacant lot or on
a country road, where only the trick
rider himself may suffer.

under the recent decision.
Supervisor Morrison said that, as the
time lad not passed for appeal on
the claim of H. S. Crocker &, Co, the
board had better wait until the time
had passed before allowing it.
Mr.. Ryan said that Judge Hunt has
decided the matter and in his opinion
appeal was of no avail. He would cer-
tify those facts on the claim.
Supervisor Morrison said that was
satisfactory to him. He had objected
because he did not want some one to
say the board had taken snap judgment
on the District Attorney.
The claim was then allowed, the Dis
trict Attorney giving a written opinion
on it.

Che walks in sealilxe calm imperious tides
That stir life's shadows cannot stir the deeps
Whose air she breathes; she neither laughs
nor weeps:
But, through Gods world, whore her white
soul abides,
She filings a song that on the stiffness rides
Like murmuring light, and he who vigil keeps,
Watching the beauty that TO cheer us glides
Out Of the silence while the black earth sleeps,
Doth love her as she sings for in that strain
She makes the two diviner natures one
And lifts them both beneath ono crown to

The proud radiance Of woman, who hath

To soc her bidding by her lover done
She marries TO the meekness Of a child.
