Great Cyclometer Run.

Brooks came into the room with a
glow of exultation on his face. He
was trundling his bicycle.

fastest wheel l ever rode. / went out

my word l travelled fifteen miles an
hour right along just as easily as l

machine. It's wonder."
"Humphl" calculated Rivers. How
long were you out?''
Three hours"
"And you went forty-five miles in
that timer"

mo. On ordinary roads. Half the
time, moreover, l was pulling against
strong wind"
And you mean to tell me seriously,
Brooks, that you rode that machine
forty five miles in three hours on COM
mon roads?"
That's what I do mean, and I'll
thank you not to dispute it. When |
started out it was exactly o'clock,
and the cycometer stood at 1871 miles.
When I got back it was just IL, and
a hair. That cyclometer is perfectly
accurate. Look at it for yourself, Riv-
ers. You know the make. I've tested

Rivers stopped and inspected it.

Don't do it, Brooks. Don't do it.

I'm looking at it. It's all right. 1t

But how about the other knocker?'
"What?"
THAT other knocker. You've got two

With something like a groan Brooks
sprang to the side of the machine and
made a personal inspection. 1t was
even so. There were two knockers. ;"
Rivers" he shouted, pale with
wrath. YOU did thati You sneaked
that other one on there yourself! I'll
be even with you if it takes me the
rest of my lifetime!
Without another word he grabbed his
bicycle and trundled out Of the room.
But there was a wild look in his eye

Clerk Joseph Lock1ey Wanted at
New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The Times"
says: James A. Reilly, manager of the
American Estates Association, has no.
tilted the police that his clerk, Joseph
Lockley, has disappeared after secur-
ing thousands Of dollars by means of
raised checks on the association, besides
stealing all the title deeds, books and
papers belonging to the association,
from the office safe.
Joseph Lockley is about % years old,
tall, slender and smooth-shaven, with
dark hair and eyes. He has been in the
employ of the association for over seven
years. His reputation was excellent,
and he was never known to drink or
smoke. Mr.. Reilly looked upon him as
a model young man. In all the seven
years he had been in his office he had
never once been under suspicion
He obtained about $1,000 from the
bank in which the association kept its
accounts. The title deeds he took, al
though they represented hundreds of
thousands of dollars, can be of little
value to him, as the property is all re-
corded. 1t is believed by Mr.. Reilly
that he took the books, papers and
deeds that he might have an oppor-
tunity to offer to restore them to the
association If he We're assured that he
would not be followed

The lesson was from the prodigal son,
and the teacher was dwelling on the
character of the elder brother.
but amid all the rejoicing he said,
there was one to whom the prepara-
ton of the feast brought no joy. to
whom the prodigal's return gave no
pleasure, but only bitterness: one who
did not approve of the feast being held,
and who had no wish to attend it. Now,
can any of you tell me who this was ~

matter of fact, it has been the inten-
tion of the United States for years to
annex Hawaii. From 1921 to this day
we have always insisted that no other
country should have the islands Dur
ing President Pierce's Administration
the islands would have been annexed
but for the death of the King. The old
King made deed of the islands to this
country, and Secretary of State Marcy,
one of the greatest Democratic states
men, was preparing to take steps to an
mex the islands. The old King died and
the new King was opposed to annexa-
ton. Hawaii is now offered to US, and
we must take it or permit some other

HOFF EXAMINATION.
The Prosecution Closes It's Side of

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-That
wrought iron coupling pin alleged to be
the property of Albert Hoff, and sup
posed to be the instrument with which
the death of Mary Clute was effected,
is causing the attorneys for the accused
murderer a good deal of trouble.
1t was clearly shown to-day at the
hearing of Hoff's examination that the
defense will try to show first that Hoff
never owned the coupling pin, and next
that it was not the weapon with which
Mrs. Clute was beaten to death.
Several witnesses were examined to-
day, but nothing very new was brought
out.
After the days proceedings the pros
ecution announced that its side of tho

Lincoln and leaped to the stage be-
low. In doing 50 his foot became
entangled in the American flag,
which was draped about the box,
and he fell heavily, injuring his
ankle. However he escaped from
the rear of the building. The
President died on the following day
in the house to which he had been
removed. The country was plunged
into deepest mourning. Probably
no man since Washington was ever
more honored and respected by the
American people.
The chief characteristic of Abra-
ham Lincoln was his great self-re-
lance. Not once, during his life,
was he known to ask for assistance
or advice from any person His
mind. like a calm, UNI uffled sea,
was neither distured 10y excessive
joys nor great discouragements.
Believing in a Supreme Being, who
watches over and controls the
affairs of men, he exemplified those
views in his every day life. His
honesty was proverbial. He was
kind and loving as father and
generous to a fault.
Though not handsome of feature,
his life was beautiful, so full of
"charity for all, and malice toward
none." He will ever have a warm
place in the hearts of the American
people, and with each passing year
let there be added another tribute
to the loving memory of the man
who saw both good and great.
