Again the death angel has entered
| our ranks and taken from our midst
helpful and loving brother-remind-
ing us again that no home, however
guarded, escapes the visitation of the
grim messenger. Therefore it is with
sincere sorrow that we announce the
death of our beloved brother, Alfred
E. Michael, who suddenly passed from
earthly cares, May s, in the prime of
useful life, leaving his wife and
children in the keenest grief. We
cannot estimate the great loss his
family has sustained or express the
sorrow that has so Unexpectedly dark
ened the home. We would extend to
his dear ones our tenderest sym pathy,
and assure them that we, too, feel a
personal loss, and that his memory
shall ever be held in sacred keeping.
His career, so strongly marked by
ennobling influence, will leave its inn
preston, and his life, now ended here,
will CLEAN with radiant light and
rest like bcnediction on the hearts
of those left behind. May they lie
comforted by the possibilities of a
future reunion ia the land where
sorrow is unkBown.
Leaves have their time TO fall,
And flowers to wither at the North-wina's
breath,
And stars to set; but ALL
Thou HAT all seasons for thine own,

nannnn Ia a Prolific Plnnt.

A banana stalk yields but one bunch
of fruit, and would die If it were not
cut down when the fruit ripens or ma
lures. One mat will produce from one
to three punches a year, growing con-
tinuously, as fast as one stalk is cut
another taking it's place. A remaria-
BILE thing about this plant is that If
you cut into half-grown stalk near
the root, or any part Of the stalk, a
small blossom, or bunch OF bananas,
fully formed will soon shoot through
the cut, but If allowed to grow will
never reach any market value. Many
people affirm that the banana and the
plantain are the same fruit, but this is
incorrect; although they grow like the
banana an experienced person can
readily distinguish the difference by
the color as well as by the size of the
small ribs in the leaf. The plantain
grows in a bunch, but with only two or
three hands to the bunch, and each
finger or individual plantain is as large
again as the banana and is more of a
crescent shape. They are never eaten
raw. The natives cook both the plan
tain and the banana, but prefer plan

The Greatest Bicycle Town.

Denver, Col, enjoys the distinction
Of having more bicycles in proportion
to population than any other city in
the United States. Though Denver
numbers only 10000 souls within her
city limits, she boasts of rot less than
10000 bicycles. Morning and evening
alike thousands Of bicycles may be
seen on the streets of Denver mounted
by men, women and children in every
walk Of life. Bicycles literally overrun
things and they are used in every line
of business, and street car companies
say they have lost $1O0O,00O annually
in traffic since bicycles have become
the rage. In fact, one company went
into the hands of a receiver two years
ago. alleging that the universal wheel
had impaired it's earning to such an
extent that it could not meet its inter-
est demands. The open weather and
fine natural roads are largely respon-
sible for the popularity of the wheel,
as it is conceded that ordinary riders
can use their wheels daily for 80 weeks
out OF SO and not suffer any annoyance
from mud or snow. Add to this the
fact that neither lights, brakes nor bells
are required and the agility required
of the non-rider in taking care of him
self can be appreciated. Denver is
said to be the only city in the country
where the bicycle vote controls cleo
lions on municipal issues.
