For a Five DoIIar bad.

In his anxiety to get a passenger, the
driver of an automobile made wild
run down Fifth avenue Tuesday night,
and several blcyclists and drivers Of
other vehicles had narrow escape
At sos o'clock, James Donahue, 35
years old, with his automobile was
standing in front of the Grand Cen
trail Station. He received word that a
passenger in the Union Square Hotel
wanted to make the 500 express, and
had a IS bill for the tman who could
get him to the station in time. Dom
ahue said he would try 1t, and with
thoughts only of the reward he opened
wide the lever, and the machine
jumped forward, almost throwing him
from his seat. He turned into Forty
second street with "a swing that sent
the vehicle over on two wheels and al
most capsized it,
Once into Fifth avenue he sent his
machine along at its highest speed.
The avenue was thronged with all
sorts of carriages and with hundreds
OF wheelmen out Tor an evening spin.
Donahue kept his foot on the bell,
ringing it constantly and worming his
way in and out he knocked one wheel
man after another off his wheel and
scared number of teams. There is a
heavy drop for three blocks just above
Thlrty-fourth street, and Donahue
went down this grade at speed close
to thirty-five miles an hour. When he
struck the Thirty-fourth street car
tracks the machine bounced at least
six inches into the air, but the anxious
driver kept right on.
The frightened wheelmen had by
this time recovered their self-posse-
sion, and a score of them pedaled fur
iously after the man, yelling for some
body to stop him. Bicycle Policeman
Dobson was at Thirty-eight street and
heard the rumble of the machine. 1t
sounded like small tornado Dobson
mounted his wheel, and as the autom-
oblle shot by he gave chase. At
Tweyty-second street there were so
many vehicles that Donahue had to
slacken his pace, and Dobson was able
to run alongside He ordered the
driver to stop and told him he was un-
der arrest
Donahue protested that passenger
was waiting for the $3.50 train, burt was
compelled to go the West Thntieth
Street Station. There the Sergeant
told Donahue that the law permitted
bicyclists to leave their wheels for Sc
curity when arrested for violating the
speed ordinance, and that he would
give him the same privilege. Donahue
was overjoyed and started to leave
when the Sergeant called him back.
But you must leave your machine in
the station" he said. Donahue was
unable to do this, and was kept in a
cell until bailed out by the Electric
Company by which he is employed
1t is not known whether the passenger
caught the train.--New York Times.

Conouerinp Ourselves and o,h.rs

Life in its relation to others is very
much what we choose to make of it.
If we choose to seek offense in their
acts, we shall find plenty. Isaac could
have got up quarrel with Abimelech
and the Gerarites which would have
embittered his whole life and passed
down as vendetta to his posterity.
But he knew that 1T takes two to
make a quarrel" and he resolved not
to be one of the two. Once and again
he yields the point, and fairly wears
them out by his courtesy. And with
what result? Did they think him a
poltroon, whom they could trample
over? AT the last they came meekly
and asked to enter into covenant with
him, declaring they never meant him
bit of harm, or did it either. He
was manifestly the conqueror through
his patience and his courtesy, in which
they began to see something divine,
and they hurried to make terms with
him. His quietness under wrong-do-
ing was too much for their clustering
quarrelsomeness, as it always will be

Communion with God.

Canst thou by searching find out
God; canst thou find out the Almighty
unto perfection ?-Job XII. Z.
To the first question the answer
must be in the affirmative. We search
for Him as the thirsty traveller
searches for a spirit in the painless
forest. There is a divine impulse in
the soul which forces us to make the
search, and we can have no happiness
until the clew which leads to Him has
been discovered. We might as well try
to live without love as to live without
God. Such a life is frosty as an or
chard in winter. With love all things
are possible either by achievement or
endurance. When we love God and
are conscious of it we are changed
from lead to gold, from winter to sum-
mer, from bare branches to branches
laden with fruit.
To the second question the answer
must be a decided negative. God alone
and overwhelming statement of fact.
The mind trembles at its contempla-
tion. Throughout eternity there will
be questions which we cannot solve.
Our horizon may enlarge indefinitely,
but its greatest circumference will not
include a perfect knowledge. He will
be the mystery of the universe in those
far off, those countless ages when me
soul has reached its utmost proper
tions. Or, better still, the soul will
never reach its utmost proportions, for
its development knows no limit, and
though it may gather brighter pebbles
on the beach, there will always be the
everlasting ocean to be explored.
The astronomer tells me that there
is no limit to space; that beyond all
the systems which are visible to eye
and telescope there are invisible sys
TENS which neither eye nor telescope
can discover; that there is no end to
space, no fine which bounds the uni
verse. My Imagination falters l have
no conception of what the statements
mean. | know it must be true, but
whenI think of it am like a fly try
ing to understand the architecture of
st. Peters at Rome.
And behind, within, pervading this
universe controlling its very process
of evolution, is its Maker. No sod
could nourish flower, no branch could
be laden with blossoms.
