BICYCLISTS IN COURT. Two
uni1uminaIted bicyclists were in po-
lice court yesterday morning. One
of them was a man who I:v5s eight
miles from town. His excuse was '-ha
breaking of his wheel, which at the
same time demolished his lamp. He
had the wheel fixed and forgot about
the lamp until his attention was sub
sequently directed to it by an officer.
No excuses are admissible in the case
of a violation of 'the bicycle Crdi-
nance There can be no possible de-
Tense If enc should be recognized
once it would be adopted by every viz
lator brought into court. So after the
Uitlander had tod his story he was
fined So. He Paid it and went away
with an impression that he had been
badly treE.ed. The next victim was a
boy. He. too, had an excuse which he
related at great length. The court
listened patiently and the relator went
on until he became. disguised with the
:rsufficiency Of his defense. "Oh,
thunder" he said; that's no excuse
at all. What's my till?"
