BENEFITS OF A SIDE PATH TO

The Importance of This Matter Dis

 Clothes Line Robbed-Note
 The success of the bicycle side path movement together with. the unqucs- toned benefit and convenience of side paths to suburban towns, where it is necessary to reach the city often, will undoubtedly give an impetus to she movement in this section before the end of another year. This may be an ticipated with greater certainty for the reason that the League of American Wheelmen, as an organization, is now devoting much time to this and other practical causes in the interests of cyclists. The side path for cyclists is fully as necessary as the bridle path to equestrians, and the growing inter- est of the wheel during the past few years has entitled it to fully as much consideration at the hands of legisla- tive bodies as either the road driver or equestrian is entitled to- Indeed, the wheelman should receive even a greater degree of consideration than the last two named classes at the hands of county commissioners and municipal counsellors, for they only ask portion, instead of full meas ure, of support, and show their good faith in many instances by going down in their pockets, individually and col lectively, for the benefits they are de- sirous of acquiring.

Thought It Was Young Again.

Everybody has heard of the old war horse that prances and shorts and sniffs the battle from afar whenever it hears bugle call Well, at Yelling ton the other day, young lady was driving the old family nag. In its youth the family nag had been a racer with many winning races to its credit. As the young lady drove down the street a bunch of ponies driven by a man whirled on the run from a side street, and attempted to pass. But with tail up and nostriIs distended the family nag renewed it's youth, joined in the race, and came down the pike an easy winner. But think howthe old horse must have felt next morning you brothers in the sere and yellow leaf, who, thinking you were as young as you used to be, raced on occasion with the ponies on the pike.-Kansas City Journal.

cold Home Day." Aug. IA, in Water
ford was in most ways an ideal day.
Especially so was it to the nearly one
hundred and fifty returning sons and
daughters who again visited the homes
of their childhood and saw, as of yore,
the places where father and mother,
brother and sister, friends and neighbors
of the years gone into the past, used to
meet us. Many Of those dear ones, very
many, we do not see, but the same old
Waterford remains, and the day was
none too long in which to recall those
faces and scenes.
The welcome accorded the home return
ing ones was fttingly expressed by the
chairman of the gathering when he said
"We grant you open door and the free
dom Of the town." The venerable Amos
B. Carpenter, four years past fourscore,
reported the names of the first settlers of
the town down to 1910, among which
was Adams, who built the first house in

HOW TIE CunFcW STARTED.
Origin of the Custom Said to Be Lost
In OisCurity.

Origin of the Custom Said to Be Lost
In O,scurity.
The origin of the curfew is lost In
obscurity. The word is. OF course, de-
rived from the French, "couvre feu,"
or 'cover fire" Rev. George S. Tyack
writes in denial OF the theory associ-
ated with William the Conqueror, and
says that the old story at one time
universally accepted was that William
the Conqueror, fearful Of pots among
his newly vanQuiShed subjects, invent
ed and forced the curfew as check
to such schemes, and it has come in
consequence to be often quoted as
badge Of seryitude and an emblem OF
tyranny. 1t Is quite evident. however,
that the great Norman was not the
originator OF the idea: and although
he was probably the first to make 1t
a general law in England, it is more
likely to have been useful precautiOn
against fire than an attempted preven-
ton Of rebellion. There is evidence
that a curfew bell was rung at Oxford
In the days OF King Alfred nearly two
hundred years before the Norman in
vasion. The history Of that city states
that 1.-The custom Of ringing the bell at
CarfaX every night at eight o'clock
was by order of King Alfred who or
dained that all the inhabitants of Ok
ford should at the ringing Of the bell
cover up their flrns and go to bed,
which custom is obse, we'd to this day"
The enforcement Of the curfew was
no hardship. At a time when practi-
cally no one but the clergy could read
and write, when the amusements OF all
classes were chiefly indoor sports, and
when every one began the labors OF
the day almost at sunrise, there was
little. il any. tyranny in the compul-
sorry cessation Of wo!k at eight. while
in the nature OF the case I'll recreation
ceased at Gark.-YouIh' Companion.
