what the bicycle IA. Done.

The wheel has done more in secur-
ing good roads legislation and in
awakening general interest in this
important movement than all other
agencies combined, and improved
highways constitute one of the most
powerful magnets for drawing home
seekers away from the cities and towns
out among the meadows, streams and
fields of the open country. Therefore
let credit be given to whom credit is
due. The trolley and the automobile
are playing an important part in the
movement countryward, but they are
later corners in the field The wheel
leads the procession; it is the pioneer.

There came a day when the old
company went wading over the rice
paddles and through the jungles, one
OF those murky, wet days of the rainy
season, just such day as had seen
the Filipino bullet strike brave, big
hearted Lawton. The company had
routed out from the abandoned, rain
soaked nipa huts in which it had slept
the night, when the first light of the
short tropical dawn announced day
and pushed forward over the mud
filled road, water covered rice paddles
and dripping jungles, the rain running

The old theory that woman is mans
helper seems incorrigibly well found
ed, says E. S. Martin in McClure's
Magazine. If the situation isn't salts
factory to her there is no help for it,
for the conditions it came out of seem
to be eternal. Women may vote. They
will be none the less mems helpers If
they do. They never will band togeth-

they can; they will pull him along

Monumsn. to a Pig.

No stranger monument ever existed
than that which was erected at the
Hotel de Vile by the Inhabitants of
Luneburg. in Hanover, in honor of a
pig. This, which took the form of a
kind of mausoleum, contained a large
glass case in which was Theoretically
inclosed a fine ham cut from the ami
NAL, whose memory was to be hand
ed down to posterity. Above was 3
handsome slab of black marble, on
which, engraved in letters of gold, was
the following inscription in Latin:
"Passers-by contemplate here the NOR

trench In which they lay and pour
shot after shot into the body of q
wounded soldier and that of his bunkie
who was dressing his wound Then he
saw the captain dash to the rescue
and calling to his men he ran forward
to the scene and routed the outfit And
as he looked about him when it was
over, at his feet he saw the body of
the kindly old captain who had been
father and brother as well as captain
to him since he first had cast his lot
with the old regiment
Four days afterward Jimmy, with a
few of the men of the company, was
back in Manila with what was left of
the old captain they had all loved so
well and it fell to Jimmy's lot to tell of
that captains last moments and tragic
death to his wife and daughter
And at last Jimmy had ceased to
think of that long leave at home All
through the preparations for the Gu
ban campaign he had thought only OF
the bitterness of his woe; all through
the days and nights of sun and rain
and battle and fever; all through the
hurry and rush to the new, distant
front; all through the seemingly end
less chase through the brakes and pad
dies of Luzon after the elusive little
brown men, that had been before him,
and his comrades, remembering his
former cheeriness,. had commented:
What change field work makes In
Jimmy" But now with his devoted
captain lying in his soldiers grave,
with his captains wife and daughter
left to his care, the old trouble faded
out and he thought only of the friend
that he had lost and the charge that
was his, for the captain mad placed
his affairs in MarshalPs hands in the
event of his meeting soldiers rate,
as Marshall had placed his in the cap
tain's.
And so it came that after the sol
diers and the family had paid their
last tribute to the dead, the last Volley
had been fired over the grave, taps
had f1oated out upon the warm still air
and died away that the evening had
closed down upon the quaint old city
Jimmy sat in the flag draped little
parlor of the Lyons quarters, listening
to the patter and drip OF the
everlasting rain. The dim lamps
cast an uncertain light over
the room, the air was still
and heavy and his thoughts were sad,
but as he looked into the sad, tired
face of the young girl sitting there SO
near to him and saw the luster of the
dark hair, the fairness OF the sweet
young face and the sadness yet the
brightness in the large dark eyes, he
felt all the past go from him and his
strong manly love go out to her, whom
he had watched grow from the short
frocked school girl to the comely
young woman; felt it was her he had
his chair over to hers he took her
hand in both of his and in the silence
of the little room, in the silence of his |
love, looked into her eyes, eyes in |
which the joy of womanly love burned |
the sadness of filial grief and |
the one word Elizabeth" told his old |
sweet tale.

The chief burgess (mayor) of Potts

an ak and chopped down the circus
bill boards that had been erected about

The world is as we find it,
Whether for good or ILL.,
The path is oft-times stony.
Leads oft-times up the hill;
But when we reach the summit,
And find there peace and rest,
We, then, forget the journey
And feel God knoweth best.
The world is as we take it,
Whether for i'll or good;
The path lies through the brambles,
And often through the wood;
But if we look beyond it,
Where shines the light of day,
Well bravely journey onward;
God knoweth best"-we say.
The world is as we make it;
We reap both good and i'll;
The seed we SOW in passing,
Up-springs from wood and hill;
Before we reach the summit,
The flowers may be but weeds,
Unless we tread with gladness
Gods path-He knows our needs.

Man-that is to say any member
of the male sex who wishes to appear
as well dressed man-must wear
green this year if he wishes to aspire
to the enviable position of zone who
always does the correct thing" 1t is
a hard position to fill, and by the die
tates of fashion this year it is more
difficult than ever before. For green
is a very painful color to wear and
still more difficult color to wear be-
comingly.
The light summer suitings this year
all have in them a slight shade of
green, and although it is right to buy
and wear them, yet they are trap to
catch the feet of the unwary. For it
must be remembered that few colors
will harmonic with green. Let the
man who wishes to be in style and to
wear green look regretfully at all his
lovely negligee shirts laid away in his
drawers. Let him bid goodbye to
his favorite ties, for he can never use
them while he wears his green suit
1t does not need to be the shade of
green which a certain Chicago alder
man rendered famous by using as "a
dress suit, but greenish it certainly
must be, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Oafiorr Are in Despair
Tailors are in despair over the out
come Some of those whose custom
lies among Chicago business and pro-
fessiOnal men refuse to handle the
goods, at all events agree only to carry
such lines as have the green shade
greatly subdued- The reason they give
for their animadversion to the green
is that their customers, while satisfied
with the suit in itself. are never sat
isf1ed after they are wearing it and
discover that only a certain shade of
tie can be worn with it and that the
colored shirt is, save in few tints,
an impossibility.
OF course the ultrafashionable tail
ors are not in any such quandary.
They know very well that whatever
fashion DEGREES their patrons will
gladly wear, whether it be of a nature
to cause laugh on every street cor
ner or no. This is the reason that
so many curious contrasts are observ-
ed There is a large class of men
who go to the ultrafashionable tail
ors for their suits and who yet are
sufficiently careless to wear with those
suits the appurtenances provided by a
down town haberdaSher.

MiIiforY Coof worn.

observed the fact that most men are
wearing a suit which has never yet
appeared on the fashion plates and
which it is confidently asserted will
never SO appear, the puzzle to the
careful tailor is still more apparent.
