tsts a Century Ago with Bodies
Swinging.

Even if the bicycle had been invented
100 years ago touring could hardly
have become very popular, at all events
for solitary cyclists. The old guide
books were by no means cheerful read
ing. A run from London to East Grin
stead, a distance of five or six and
twenty miles, would have taken the
wheelman past three gibbets, and it
was just as likely as not that from
one or the other of them body would
be swinging in the wind. Up till the
beginning of the century just closed
the galiows was almost as frequent
landmark as finger posts or public
houses have become now, says the Lon
don News.
The traveller approaching York is
directed by the guidebooks to "turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out to Durham
is "betweea the gallows and Croke-
hill" Going out 1T Wells you "cross
the brook and pass by the gallows."
Any number of such directions can be
glenned from the old books for the
guidance of travellers 100 years ago,
and as these interesting objects were
put up and the dead bodies OF maiefae.
tors left upon them for the special edi-
fcatton of footpads and highwaymen
there was a anggestiveness about them
thatmust have given q special piqnancy
to cycle touring if it had been in vogue
at that time.

TRADERS MAY ADVERTISE.
London Court Decides in Favor
of the Enterprising
Tradesman.

On recent Saturday the London
county counoil was beaten in case
affecting advertising signs. One Hull,
the tenant of house in Seven Sis
tiers road, had been fined by the petty
magistrate for attiNing an advertis-
ing sign on the front wall of his
premises. The ground of the al
legged offense laid by the London
county council was that the sign pro-
jected beyond the building line and
constituted breach of the councils
bylaws.
The case was appealed, and dur
ing the hearing of the appeal by
Mr.. Hull amusement was caused by
questions put to counsel for the
London county council by one of the
judges. For instance, the question
was raised by his lordship whether
if poor man hung bird cage out
side window it would be consid-
cred projection from the building
line.
Again, the judge thought it might
be argued that coat-of-arms af-
fixed by royal warrant-holder OH
the front of his building came under
the bylaw regarding projections.
Flags hung out on gala days, too, his
lordship merrily suggested, might be
banned in the same way. The court
decided that there had been no in.
fringement of the building act, and
ordered the magistrates decision to
be reversed.

established itself in the good graces
of it's mistress. Mrs. Williamfeiter,
says local informant, is 6s years old,
and after many years of toiling over
an old-fashioned carpet loom, and by
washing, she accumulated about $500
in currency. Not wishing to trust her
small fortune in the bankers hands,
she hid it in the smokehouse. On go
ing to her place of concealment to
make another deposit, she discovered
her hard-earned money had mysteri-
ously disappeared. She supposed it
had been stolen, but few days later
her old tabby cat came mewing into
the house carrying a good-sized rat
between her teeth, piece of ten
dollar bill protruding from the
rodents stomach. Mrs. Williamfeiter
Investigated, and recovered the
money, excepting $50. The house cat
is now the best-fed member of the
family.

Dimcult to Decide NAe Came Out
Ahead in the En-.

Congressman Smith, of Illinois, tells
a good story of an enooAnter OF wit
that took place between DR.. Mary
Walker and the Chinese minister not
long ago, says the Chicago Chronicle.
"You missed out on the best story
of the reception" said Mr.. Smith,
toying with his long mustache. "You
know, the minister stood in the east
room after greeting the president and
held regular reception of his own.
