Women ard the Wheel.

From the G zstte, Delaware, Olio.
The healthfulness of bicycle riding
for women is still disputed ques-
ton between eminent physicians and
heafth reformers.
Used in moderation it surely
creates for women means of out
door exercise. the benefit of which
all physicians concede. Used to ex-
cess, like any other pastime, its
effect is likely to be dangerous.
The experience Of Miss Bertha
Reed, the seventeen year-old daugh-

Reed, have experienced some con-
Germ ioc their daughters who are

Miss Bertha who had ridden q great
deal, began to fail in an alarming
manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was

a Safe Leader.

In our reference two weeks ago to
Mr.. Bryan to which our esteemed
c correspondent, Annette, refer, We
have only to say that We do not
regard MIR. Bryan as in error, but
because of his wisdom, patriotism
and love of country We deem him a
safe leader even if his free silver
creed should prove by practical de-
monstration not to give the relief
which many statesmen and 6nanciers
believe the adoption Of the 1G to
theory would secure. As for ou.5
selves, We are frank to admit that we
are neither statesman nor a fnan-
cier, but We desire the election of
Mr.. Bryan because we bave faith in
honesty, wisdom and patriotism. We
cannot believe such q man, even
though be might possibly be wrong
in some things, would be a danger
