plan of settlement of the Mrs. Hill
mon suit against the New York
Life Insurance company became
known outside of the limited cir

Lord for the claim is kept a carefully

Gladstone, as is we'll known, would in
times Of great anxiety lie down on a
sofa, and in a few minutes be fast

any time, attributing to this habit the
fact that at the most anxious periods
of his life he was able to cast aside all
care and worry, and enter into the
frivoiities of social life as If his mind

People who do not care for the chain
less wheel can get great bargains in
chain wheels next season, and, perhaps,
will be just as well satisfied to stick
to the old favorite for a year or two
longer.
Cycle paths are not an unmixed bless
ing, as imagined by most wheelmen;
indeed, they are in the end rather a
detriment to the sport. Farmers and
others who must drive on the abomina-
bic roads which prevail in this coun-
try, except in a few states. are highly
indignant when they see wheelmen
spinning on the path. while they are
toiing in the ruts Of the adjacent road.
and they are not inclined TO tax the
township or county to pay for such
eltish uxuries.
