and pedaled although he perspired
and painted, his effort to get away did
not seem to place any more territory
between him and the lion; for that
animal, like Mark Twain's coyote,
kept up his annoyingly calm jog-trot,
and never seemed to tire.
The poor rider was finally SO OK
hausted from terror and exertion that
he decided to have the matter over
with right away Suddenly slowing
down, he jumped from his wheel, and
facing abruptly about, thrust the
brilliant headlight full INTO the face
of the lion.
This was too much for the beast. It
was this fright that broke the lions
nerve, for at this fresh evidence Of
mystery on the part of the strange
rideranimal who broke himself into
halves and then cast his big eye in
any direction he pleased, the monarch
of the forest turned tail, and with a
wild rush retreated in a very hyena-
like manner into the jungle, evidently
thanking his stars for his miraculous
escape from that awful being. There
upon the bicyclist, with new strength
returning and devoutly blessing his
acetylene lamp pedaled his way to
civilization.

Grimes was of the number. and he
was afterward one of many who paid
half a crown to board the steamship
and view her machinery and every
part.
Mr.. Grimes ever remembered the
scenes and excitement attending the
news of the battle Of Waterloo and
Napoleons exile to st. Helena that
followed For many years he was en-
ployed in shipbuilding learning every
branch of 1t.
In 1894 he came to America, and
has been resident of South Boston
ever since. He landed in New York
and came to Boston Immediately.
During his declining years Mr..
Grimes delighted to recall the early
days of the city, and especially South
Boston. He remembered distinctly q
meeting of Irishmen held in Faneuil
Hall when he had the distinguished
honor of carrying the Irish banner into
that historic building for the first time
in its history. He recalled the elo
quent Grafton of DR.. O'Flaherty.
When he first lived in South. Boston
it was the garden spot of the entire
city, and so sparsely settled that peo-
pie used to pick fruit and berries on
Broadway.

Some OF the Customs Of the Students
at Westminster.
A recent book by Capt. Markham OF
the British army tells of experiences
in Westminster school, London, half
century ago. He describes the hand
ings" Of those days. The back of the
hand was extended, while the master,
standing behind, smote 1t with a rod,
which "curled over little" and left
cut; and the culprit, facing the
school, observed the etiquette OF the
occasion by wearing an expression of
"scornful amusement" Capt. Mark
ham also describes tanning" which
was administered with the butt-end
Of rod upon the backs OF the boys
legs" He recalls the code Of honor,
which was merciless TO the boy who
broke his word or allowed another to
suffer for his offense, but permitted
amy amount of humbugging of
master" When disinclined for school
you said: II don't feel very well, sir"
and before the master inspected your
tongue you gave 1.-The upper surface

the regents are planning to secure

The plans for the Smithsonian

THIS BELL A FOE TO SLEEP.
People Waited to Be Sure Of the Time
IL Indicated


II Indicated.
Not long ago bell was placed In
the Convent of the Sacred Heart. on
Convent Heights, at 1920 street. 1t
strikes the hours and the quarter
hours with a melodious, reverberating
double stroke, and the bell was well
coined by the residents along st. Mich
olas avenue, at the foot OF the heights.
II one wished to know the time, espe-
cially when In bed with no timepiece
near, all he bad to do was to wait q
few minutes, and the convent bell
would tell him.
One resident of the vicinity uncon-
sciously got into the habit of waiting
for the bell to strike, and he would do
80 whenever he awoke in the night.
Then, II the bell struck once, he would
speculate whether the time was a
quarter past one, two or three, and be-
fore he realized it he would be uncon.
sciously waiting for the bell to strike
the hour.
This habit grew upon him so stead
lily that he often was kept awake for
hours, waiting for the bell and count
ing its strokes. Recently he related
his experiences to some neighbors,
and was surprised to find that seven
OF twelve persons were similarly eff
fected by the convent bell--New York

HIS FLOWERS NOT FOR SALE.

feunester Had Gathered Them for His
Mother, and Was Loyal.
The merchant had been taking a
spin over the Speedway. On the re-
turn he swung his spirited trotters
into Riverside Drive and slowed up to
let them cool. A mite OF a boy stood
by the curb holding tightly in his
grimy little hands bunch of wild
mowers. Bloodroot, windfiowers and
marlgolds were grouped in a crude
nosegay, with violets and ferns.
I'll give you i've cents for your
bouquet" called out the merchant.
The youngster stiffened with juven-
lie dignity.
"Nawl" came the curt reply.
Inc merchant looked from the
frowning, boyish face to the flowers.
Then came a second offer: "Ill give
you ten cents"
This time the boy backed off a few
steps as IL to get out of range Of
temptation. Again came the contemp-
tuous "Naw!"
We'll, I'll give you fifteen cents"
"Naw!" This time the refusal was
hopelessly firm.
The merchant evidently was puz-
zled.
Won't you sell those flowers?" he
asked with a show of interest apart
from the mere act OF purchasing the
bouquet.
With mingled pride and defiance the
boy replied:
Il picked these flowers myself and
they're for my mother"
His tempter drove on.-New York
