wILLIE's LESSON or LOVE.

Last summer Tommie Jones ana me
Were climbin' all around, E
And found q birds nest In tree
Away above the ground.
We took the little thing away
With all the eggs inside.
And oh the words ma had to say!-
just sat down and cried. I.
''You wicked. naughty boy" she said,
ITO pain the birdie so!
Oh He that watches overhead
VIII punish you, I know!
It was a sin to take the nest
And rob the bird of Joy!
Now promise God you'll do your best
To be better boy!"
So when I said my prayers that night
promised God I'd do
The best I could to make 1t right,
AS ma had told me to-:
carried crumbs out every day
And left them at the tree,
And tried to get the bird to stay
And make it up with me.
She flew away last fall and that
Was all seen or heard
About her till they brought mas hat
Home yesterday! That bird
Was there as fine as life. stuck through
With wires you couldn't see
To make her look as though she'd flew
Down from the nearest tree!
If God hates Tommy Jones and me,
AS ma let on that day,
I'd kind Of like to know what He
Above us has to say
About the one that went and shot
The little bird like that,
And also of the one that's got
1t fastened on her hat.

An Earthuuake.

Yokohama and the neighboring To-
kio are said to have about so earth.
quake shocks year. Most of them are
insignificant, but now and then comes
one of a different sort. In 1891 the
Japan Mail described the experience
of a man who had witnessed the ter.
rible earthquake at Gifu.
He had just finished dressing when
the first shock came. He crawled and
dragged himself out of the house, for
to walk was all but impossible. The
next moment, so highly strung were
his nerves, he burst into laughter at
seeing the remarkable way in which
a girl was moving down the garden
path, stepping high in the air, as it
seemed. Then, looking over his shout
der, he saw great and ancient temple,
which he had been admiring. the pre-
vious day, leap into the air and fall
in dreadful ruin. Looking again to
his front, he saw the whole town in
an instant swept away before his eyes,
and out of the great cloud of dust came
a screaming, gesticulating, wildly
frantic crowd of men, women and chill
dren, rushing hither and thither, they
knew not where, for refuge from the
great destruction which had come
upon them. H. ~; .

ONE POINT OF VIEW.
Boomers of ChalnIess Wheels Are Too
Pronounced in Advocating Their
Own Pet Goods.

One of the curious symptoms of the
time is the belief entertained in some
quarters that the belated boom which
was to carry the chainless machine
into almost universal use is about tc
materialize.
The belief is so utterly at variance
with the popular feeling that it is
worthy of discussion for that reason
alone. Outside of those directly in.
terested in the chainless to the ex.
tent of subordinating the chain-driver
to it, a pretty general consensus OF
opinion prevails.
1t is to the effect that the new ma.
chine has demonstrated that it is a
mechanical and commercial sue.
cess; that it has attained a certain
vogue, with certain number of &C.
cessions to the ranks Of it's adherents
every year; but that it will never, in
the immediate future at least, men.
ace the supremacy of the chain ma.
chine
This is the popular belief This
year an opposite opinion obtrudes
itself very persistently. It holds that
with certain stores and in certain cit.
les and towns the chain machine this
year will be very bad second. The
bulk of the trade, and that part best
worth obtaining, will plump for the
chainless.
There is probably a measure OF
truth in this view. Dealers who have
pushed chainless machines long and
strenuously have been rewarded by
creating a sentiment strongly in ia.
vor of it. They have impressed them.
selves on the public as chainless ad.
vocates, and while people will go to
them for chain machines they are not
as apt to. do so as would otherwise
be the case.
Therefore, their trade is almost en-.
tirely in the chainless type of ma.
chine. The chainless demand is mag.
nified and the call for chain drivers
minimized in their eyes. They do a
good trade in the former. and see it
giving promise of increase; and tc
some extent they are right in saying
that the chain-driven machine is hope.
lessly distanced-with them.-Bicy.

Accidents Due to Bicycles.

lie Velo, the Partisan cycling paper,
as set-off to the sta tistics often pub
,ished as to how much damage is done
by cyclists, frequently publishes list
of accidents caused in France by horses.
In recent issue it stated that during
the last year horses were responsible
for the deaths of 62s people and for
injury to $3.50! Compared with these
figures, the accidents due to bicycles
are insignificant indeed. There has
been discovered the case of an old man
in the southeastern suburbs of London
who makes a good living by being run,
over by cyclists. He manages. to get
knocked down four or five times week
by woman riders. OF course, he pre-
tends to be severely injured, and the af-
frighted women readily part with q
sovereign to appease him and to pre-
vent action being taken. It is said that
this man has two little children, re.
puted to be his grandchildren, whom he
has also trained to be knocked down by
cyclists.

The Ideal Road Companion.

Among the various qualifications of
a successful touring companion, an
obliging disposition must be placed
first, for without it no two persons can
expect to cycle together in an agree
able way. One who is continually
wanting to do this, and Directing to
do that, is by no means an ideal COM
panion. A pleasant fellow, who will
accommodate himself to reasonable
extent to the inclinations of mis- COM
panion, will make ride enjoyable. A
man who will get'of and assist to mend
a tire, and not ride on and wait for you
a mile up the road, is the style of COM
panion the quiet rider wants.-Golden
Days.

Philadelphia as. an example. New
York and Philadelphia are not many
hours apart, yet the women Of the two
cities are in many ways altogether diff
ferent. The fair Philade!phian is much
the more conservative of the two; she
is less ready to adopt q novel fad, less
hospitable to new theories, and even
in her housewifery she is more staid
and old-fashioned than her sister who
dwells under heaven-aspiring roofs and
sees the statue of liberty every day.

Then Fate relented 81 was busy attend
ing to something else. At any rate,
the stenographer with the silvery voice
said that Mr.. Campbell was in and
would come to the phone, and the next
moment Mr.. Campbell said: Hello,
old mani" s .-
"Hello!' said the lawyer. "Say, we
seem to have been having some diff
Guilty in getting together. Where are
you going to eat lunch Tomorrow"
ANY old place. I'll eat lunch with
you if you ask me. Do you think we
could arrange meeting?" ~.
II doubt it," said the lawyer. I'll
invite you, but don't expect you to
come. Say! Iwish you would, though;
Id like mighty well to see YOU"
''I'll be with you this time, all right.
I'll swear it, if necessary. At the same
time haven't any kind of an idea that
I'll keep my word"
"All you have to do is to stay in the
office and attend to your business.
I'll attend to the rest. Will you do it?"
"Ill do it."
"All right. Good-by."
"Good-by."
The real estate man stayed in the
Office until he got telegram from his
friend, which read:
"Don't wait for me-will explain
LATER
Then he went over to the pie counter
at the board of trade and consumed
doughnuts and milk in high dudgeon.
The lawyer explained (by letter)
that he had been called away to the
bedside of an opulent uncle in Iowa
who had just had his second stroke of
paralysis. He made another effort at
an appointment, but it was in half
hearted, despairing way. His success
sive failures had unnerved him and left
him more than doubtful of himself
foredoomed to disappointment. The
real estate man felt about much the
same way, and they both abandoned all
attempt at communication for a month
or two.
Then as the real estate man was pass
ing the lawyers Office he thought he
would just look in for the fun of it.
He told himself that he did not expect
to see the lawyer, and that this being
the case there was more than reason
able probability that he would be in.
He was not in, however, and the real
estate man went out bitterly disap-
pointed
He left a note asking the lawyer to
call him up, and the lawyer called him
up and learned that he had "just this
minute gone out" Then the whole
thing was gone over with again.

men are quite intimately acquainted
