twas Ever Thus.

Many readers will feel a very I'M
reasonable degree of sympathy with a
bicyclist whose misadventure is thus
described in the Washington Post, by
a writer who received the story from
the oculist mentioned: A man on a
bicycle was scorching cheerily along
the conduit road on his way to town,
when suddenly there doomed up out of
the darkness a heavy wagon headed
straight for him. There was no time
to turn out. The wheel crashed into
the wagon pole, and the rider was
thrown completely over the horses,
falling between them and the wagon
The oculist ran to the rescue, expect
ing to see mass of bleeding and I'M
conscious humanity. Instead, he saw
kicking and angry person who was
apparently uninjured. The bicycle
was Chinese puzzle of twisted wire.
"'Are you hurt ?" asked the oculist
Theangrype person picked himself up and
stopped swearing. He gazed at what
had once been a fair young bicycle.
Hurt 2" he said, in tone Of deepest
disgust. Hurt? Me? Of course /

WALTER BESANT ON WOMEN

He Says It's Very Hard to Keep Them
to the Point.
1T: will not, perhaps, be considered
an attack upon women if I say that it
is extremely difficult to keep them to
the point says Walter Besant in the
Queen. II have been addressing .au-
diences of women on four occasions
during the last year. I was advocating
central bureau for women's work,
with branches everywhere, to embrace
all kinds of work. One lady rose in a
kind Of rage: He has actually said
nothing of the Typewriters' Holiday
Fun!' And another: He has forgot
tent he did forget'-with fine curl
OF the upper lip-tthe Curates' Grand
daughters Allowance in Sickness
Fund, which everybody knows as the
G. G. D. A. S. F.!' And once, when r
had most carefully and repeatedly dun
ned and hammered into their ears that
the bureau must begin at least with
the class called gentlewomen, a lady
sprang to her feet and, with tears in
her eyes-real tears, mind, of real sym
to know what we were
to do with the slums and the gutter!"
Sir Walter is optimistic, nevertheless.
He believes in women and thinks that,
If they would master parliamentary
law as their American sisters study to
do they would be very useful and eff
cient public workers.

Four of Thorn Are Wives Of Captains Of

only an Arctic sea as a landscape. are
lour women and two little children.

pedltlon sent out by the government

expedition has started to the relief If

tribune. The eight ice-bound vessels
are the Orca, the Jesse H. Freeman. the
sBelvedere, the Rosario, the Fearless.
the Wanderer, the Jeanne and the New
port, the crews of which number 265.
Inc four women in the fleet are the
wives OF Captain Green, Captain Por-
Ter and Jesse H. Freeman. Cantain
Sherman and Captain Weeks. The two
children who sailed away were Bert
Sherman, the 6-year-old son of CAPTAIN
and Mrs. Sherman, and Dorothy Por-
p ter, the S-year-old daughter of CAPTAIN
and Mrs. Porter. It was arranged that
the sailors on board the Bear were to
know nothing of the presence of the
women and children until the fleet had
been out three days, as there is a. SUI
perstlt1on among sailors, especially
Whalers, that woman on board brings
pad luck, and the newspaper reporters
who were in the secret had given their
promise not to mention the fact until
after the vessels had sailed.
These four women are the first with
the exception of Mrs. Peary, to ventura
so far north. It's like reading ro-
nance to hear the letters that at long
intervals have come to the Oakland
and San Francisco friends Of this par

said, displaying swordfish teeth, long
and cruel, and gloating over the grim
souvenirs of her first voyage. "But

RELICS AT FARNBoRoUGH.
Sad Memories OF the once Beautiful
Empress Eugenie. .

Sad Memories OF the Once Beautiful
Empress Eugene.
The Interior of the mansion at Farm
borough, which serves as a home for
the Empress Eugene, is both sumptu-
GUS and comfortable, but its distinctive
features are the constant presence Of
all that can recall those who have
gone. Just before the departure Of the
prince imperial for Zululand the en-
press had decided to arrange for him
an apartment at Chiselhurst into which
all the historical and personal souven-
1rs In her possession of Napoleon I.
and iii. should be gathered. The room
Was barely finished when the news
came of the death of it's young mas
ter. An exactly similar one has been
arranged at Marlborough, with the adj
dition of one large piece of furniture,
the upper part of which has glass
doors. Behind these the mother has
herself placed everything belonging to
her son, from his earliest rattle to his
favorite books. In the lower inclosed
portion are locked up the accouter-
ments of the horse he rode and the
blood-stained uniform he wore on that
tragic day, mournful relics brought to
the empress by COL Villiers and on
which can be seen the lance thrusts
Of the Zulus. The old bedroom of the
prince has also been reinstated at
Marlborough, as it wa, st Chiselhurst.
Near the narrow camp bedstead, which
is always strewn with fresh flowers,
stands the magnificent cradle, with it's
gilt bronze figures, offered by the city
of Paris when France acclaimed the
heir to the empire-the cradle in which
he reposed while all the dignitaries of
the state passed before the imperial
infant
