TO WOMEN B1cYcL1sTs.
An English Authority Declares That
Riding Makes the Feet
Much Larger.

Mark some Of the attributes Of the
cycling heroine as she will be, and COM
pare with the languishing sisters Of q
past decade, says st. Paul's.
We find already a muscular, healthy,
practical creature, whose dread is not
of cows or mice, but of the puncture
fend. Her figure is naturally well de-
veloped in consideration of which home
truth let us pray for the ultimate re-
moval Of the 'slissom form" and evil
lowy waist" from the storied page. It
will follow, as matter of course, that
toying with the wing of ortolan" will
go hopelessly out of fashion, for it is an
accepted fact that the appetite of the
bicycle heroine is "rudely 'ealthy."
Moreover, we mention it with bated
breath, we are told that the feet of the
bicycling girl are gradually increasing
in size, not in number although, con-
sidering all the marvels which are at
tributed to the bicycle, we should not
be surprised to hear that it had eff
fected the development of third limb,
This last fact, however, we should
advise the novelist to ignore. No lady
likes to have the size of her feet over
estimated, and the nearer her size APP
proaches to sevens the more rooted is
her objection to- having even the bare
truth limited at. Once let the idea take
root that cycling has this effect, and
from that hour the number Of fair cy.
clists will dwindle.

COUNTY SUPERVISORS
Hold Their Annual Meeting sn Keo-
kuk and Consider Law Changes
and Adopt Resolutions.

The annual convention of county su-
pervisors of the First district Of Iowa.
held in Keokuk, considered changes in
the Iowa laws deemed necessary by the
delegates. G. c. Clark, county attor-
ney for Des Moines county, spoke in IA
voi of law Furnishing the heads of
households who fail to provide for the
support of the families dependent upon
item. The feasibility of paying sal
aries, instead of fees, to justices of the
peace was also discussed.
The convention passed resolution
recommending to the legislature of
Iowa the passage of law regulating
the width of wagon tires, according to
the carrying capacity of the vehicles.
A resolution was introduced by Sol Ca
vannes. of Henry county, providing that
law be enacted requiring every quail
he'd voter to pay one dollar toward a
rnad improvement fund before his vote
be considered valid. This resolution
was lost. On motion of ]. NJ. Riser, OF
Lee county, a resolution was adopted
declaring that as the legal doubt of the
constitutionality of the one-mill road
tax upon all the taxable property OF
counties has been removed by a de-
cision of the supreme court of Iowa, the
conve ntion of supervisors favors the re-
enactment of said law as it was in force
prior to the change made by the Twen-
ty-sixth general assembly of Iowa.

Bankruptcy to a saxar..

A correspondent of the London
Times at Wanganui, New Zealand,
sends US this amusing extract from a
local newspaper: "A Maori chief who
lost 940 through white storekeeper
going through the bankruptcy court
has given the following lucid EXPOSE
ton of this particular branch Of Brit
ish jurisprudence: The pakeha (whitc
many who wants to become pakarapu
dnsolvept) goes into business, and gets
lots of goods. and does not pay for
them. He then gets all the money he
can together, say, $4,000. and puts all of
1T, except SIS, away where no one can
find it. With the e S he goes TO judge
of the court and tells him he wants to
become pakarapu. The judge then
eaRs all the lawyers together, likewise
all the men to whom the pakeha owes
money, and he says: This man il
pakarapu. but he wishes to give you
all that he has got. and so he has asked
me to divide this a5 among you ALL
The judge thereupon gives the lawyers
81, and the remaining e to the other
men. Then the pakeha goes home"

SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
Officers Capture the Men Thought to
Have Held Up the Train Mt
Macomb, Mo.

st. Louis, Jan. "a special to the
Post-Dispatch from Mansfield, Mo-,
says: Early in the morning Deputy
United States Marshal Joseph Huffman,
Detective HORNE, of Springfield; Dep
uty Sheritfs j. b. Hensley and w. c. Nc
Cain and Constable Woodward went to
the home of Lon Nye, south of Macomb,
where he and his son, Ben Nye, and Will
liam Jennings and Joe Shepherd, who
claim to be from Barton county, were
together, and arrested them. Then
they arrested Oscar Nye. All the men
are supposed to be connected with the
robbery of passenger train on the
Kansas City, Fort Scott g. Memphis
railroad at Mncomb, Mo-, on the night
of January 3.
They arrived at Mansfield at 9:25 a.
m. on a special train that had been
provided for them. The prisoners were
at once taken to the Ozark hotel, where
they are constantly being guarded by
several officers. They made no attempt
to resist arrest, and talked very freely,
but the officers say they have very con-
vincing evidence that they are the
guilty persons. Taken away separate
ly, the prisoners were questioned, but
denied having had anything to do with
the robbery.

UNLucKY DAYS AND HOURS.
A German statistictan Has Figured
Out Just When Accidents
Are Most Likely.

Only a painstaking, plodding German
investigator would go to the trouble of
trying to find out by statistics on what
day of the week moss accidents occur
and at what hour of the day. This is
what has been done by DR.. Wolff. of
Strasburg.
He bases his conclusions on 1911
cases of accidents among the working
classes. 1t thus appears that Monday is
not less unlucky than Friday when it
comes to accidents, and for this fact he
accounts by the statement that the
drinking shops are most frequented by
workmen in Germany on the days pre-.
vious, viz, Saturdays. Sundays and
Thursdays.
Fewer accidents happen on Tuesday
than on any other day of the week, be-
cause on no day are drinking houses so
empty as on Monday.
He has also discovered the remak-
able fact that The hours after breakfast,
dinner and the afternoon rest, are sig
