IT WAS CORROBORATED.
And Yet 1t Was Very Unlikely Stor,
to be IndOrsed as Fact.

There are three young men in the
War Department who have an under
standing that they will do their bicy-
cling in company, and they are to be
seen frequently together, and particu-
larly on Sunday. AS it happens, two OF
them have been in washington for
several years, while the third has only
been here eighteen months. Some OF
the bicycle adventures he tells are sim
ply so appalling that the two men are
devising wavs and means to reform
him, in order not to destroy an other
wise most agreeable combination.
Last Sunday they hit him so hard
that he has not told another in the last
six days.
"I was out in Ohio about four years
ago." he said on that day, as they were
resting not far from Falls Church,
making a tour of the State, "and after
travelling about 1,500 miles my tire be-
gan to show signs of wear and tear TO
such an extent that 1 determined to
get new one at the very next town L

in and bought quart of milk, which

the tire with this and started ahead, af-
ter letting it soak while, and after
going about four or five miles over a
pretty rough piece of road / struck the
pleasant little town Of Gallon, where
proceeded at once to a bicycle place to
get myself a new tire. I had noticed
that my wheel ran very peculiarly the
last mile or so, and asked the man to

and was trying to get something out of
the tire that filled it up as if the last
air that had been pumped into it was
loaded with something beside the usual
combination known to chemists. I took
hand. and it wasn't long till we had
peeled the tire off, and then the whole
thing was plain to me. I had simply
churned the milk had put into the tire
to butter, and that was all there was to

companions, you don't expect us to be-

panion, and the first one nearly rolled
off the log.

one, while the narrator fairly beamed
with pride at this unexpected corrobo-
ration.

Fuifiilment Deferred.

There is an old prophecy, much cher

the days when the Greeks again have q
Constantine as their ruler and his wife
bears the name of Sophia, the cross viii
be re-erected on the Church of the Holy
Wisdom, st. Sophia, in Constantinople
and that city will once more become the
capital of the great Christian monarchy
of the East. The Duke and Duchess o1

SOCIAL EVENTS.

A very pleasant party was that held
at the residence of Miss Lille f. Ev-
