Good Logic.

A mercantile company pasted large
poster on a bridge. The wind caused
il to hutter and scare a team. This
tipped the wagon over, broke two doz.
eggs, a hamestrap, the drivers leg and
an axeltree. They then ran away and
through the garden, tipped a beehive
over, the bees stung the young lady Of
the house until her lips swelled to such
proportions that her best fellow left
her and went to the PHILIPPINES. The
driver sued the firm for damages; one
hundred witnesses were called and
when they were asked what was on
the poster none Of them could tell.

The Reriral Of BicYeIing.

VIII cycling ever regain its former
place. # is believed that it Will, be-
cause it deserves 10 come again into
popular favor, says Abbot Bassett, sec
rotary Of the l.. A. W., IN Harper's
Weekly. The enthusiasts among wheel.
men today are the old timers. They
thoroughly appreciate what the wheel
has done for them, and 10 i- "a great
source Of regret that the young people
of today do not get the fun, the health
the eXhilaratiOn that the veterans got
from the wheel when younger blood
coursed in their veins. The boys and
girls of today have been looking al
wheeling a. a thing not TO do. They
know nothing Of touring and Of the
various functions which have been a
part of wheel life.
We believe bicycling will come back
because the bicycle isa practical thing
II has enduring qualities. IL isa thing
that ought to live and it will live. Those
who have never ridden a wheel cannot
begin to appreciate the exh%iIaration
which comes from riding. No other
form Of locomotion can compare with
it. The automobile is a lazy mans We
hicle. 1t serves him who wants com
fort and freedom from work. 1t pro-
vides the element Of excitement and
danger, but it does not provide health
giving exercise and exhilaration
During the time Of what may be-
called the decline Of bicycling the wheel
has not gone out entirely. for thousands
and hundreds Of thousands are riding
it and will continue TO ride it. IL is
used very largely for unitarian pur-
poses. The %schoolboy rides it TO and
from school, the laborer rides 1t TO and
from his work, the horseshoer goes for
the mail on il. This viii continue UNI
oil some better means Of convey ance at
a cheaper price comes into Use.
