End of National shows.

IL the determination of the National
Bicycle Board of Trade reached last week
is adhered TO the national cycle show is
thing of the past, and the one just over
will be the last for time. at least. These
shows have been unique in that they are
probably the only exhibitions of particu-
lar class of articles, exhibited solely for adj
vertising purposes, wherein there was such
a large profit for the management of the
exhibitions, although, Of course. this profit
was more than Offset in the expenditures
of the individuals and companies who made
exhibits. The shows have been wonderfully
well patronized, and it is due to them large
ly that manufacturers have been able to
combine all of the best available features
in single bicycle, for there those inter-
ested could see every new thing worthy of
their attention and thought.
But the show is thing of the past.
Heretofore manufacturers have spent thou
sands Of dollars in fitting up booths and
making specially finished wheels to be
shown at these annual exhibitions, but in
the future the exhibitions will be greater
in number but without the magnitude OF
those of the past. The Board Of Trade de-
cided to encourage local shows in the diff
ferent States, but to discourage the ma
uonal shows, of which two have been held
each year for some years-one in New York
an one in Chicago

Winter Song.

Far In the depths Of thy solitudes.
What art thou hiding. oh. winter woods7
What is the secret that turks between
Ice bound streamlet and deep ravine?
Warm leaf covering. soft. white snow.
What art thou sheltering. just below?
Hey, little violet. snug and warm
Hey little buttercup. safe from harm!
Winter has fallen across my way.
Drifted its flakes my tresses gray,
Breathed its cold breath over my face,
Stiffened and frozen its lines of grace:
STILL for all semblance of cold and gloom.
Life holds the germ OF a deathless bloom,
Hidden in covert so safe and sweet.
Brave little pulse, can feel IL beat.
Hey, little blossom OF hope close pressed
Down IL the folds OF my hearts warm nest
Winter may whiten and winds may blow,
Still thou art sheltered under the snow,
Star-shaped bloom, with thy petals white.
Hidden away from the winters blight,
Native not to the earth's cold sod,
Born TO blow on the hills II Godl

WIDOWS OF THE REVOLUTION.
Seven Pensioners Whose Husbands
Served Under Washington.

Cunord Howard, IN Ladies Home journal.
Seven women are still drawing pensions
as the widows of men who saw active serv-
ice in the war of the Revolution: women
whose husbands served under Washington
more than a hundred and twenty years ago.
The eldest of these surviving widows of the
Revolution is living at Los Angeles, Cal.
She is Mrs. Lovey Aldrich, now in the
band was Private Caleb Aldrich, who was
born in the year 1863. and served as a sol
der boy in the New England campaigns
of the war. Mrs. Nancy Jones. of Jones'
borough. Tenn, whose husband was OAR
ling Jones. private in one of the North
Carolina regiments. is the youngest of the
revolutionary widows, being now about
eighty-three years Of age. The other five
are Nancy Cloud who is living at Chum,
Va. and is the widow of Sergeant William
Cloud of Captain Christians Virginia line;
Esther S. Damon, of Plymouth Union. VT,
whose husband was Private Noah Damon,
of Massachusetts, Mary Snead. living at
Parksley, Va. widow of Private Bowdoin
Snead: Nancy A. Weatherman. who lives
at Elk Mills. Tenn. and whose first hus-
band was Robert Glascock. fifer in one of
the Virginia regiments. and Rebecca Mayo.
living at Newbern. Va. ~rGow of Stephen
Mayo a soldier from Virginia. That these
women can be the widows of revolutionary
soldiers Is readily understood in view of
the fact that their husbands were well on
in years when they married. AS for exam
pie. when Esther Summer married Noah
Damon in the year 1S}5-flrty-two years
after the close of the war-she was but
twenty-one. while he was Seventy-siX. The
last revolutionary widow pensoner who had
married prior To the close of the war and
had therefore actually lived during revo-
iutiOnary times. was Nancy Serena. widow
OF Daniel y. Brakeman. She died about
after her husband. who was the last of the
revolutionary soldiers on the pension roll
