it was Once,-a machine that had to be
cleaned and oiled the moment it was
brought in from an outing. The new
chainless does away with this nuisance.
The coaster brake, the possibilities of
a two-speed gear, give charms to the
wheel that it never possessed before. 1t
is season when it is necessary to de-
eide what rules we shall lay down for
our young people when they go bicy-
cling. Once;upon time it might have
seemed needless, but we are entering
upon a different order of things.
Even the best bred boys and girls will
occasionally give way to the animal
spirits aforesaid and make fools of
themselves. That is, they will have a
tendency to do this. And for that rea-
son it is good thing for their parents
to send them out equipped with suf-
is mere thoughtlessness that makes
yelling like Comanches and disturbing
the peace of quiet folk. Sometimes
, they seem to lay aside their manners
when they put on their cycling toys.
On this account it is often more desir-
able to have chaperone when there is
| large party than when there are only
4 few on the expedition. A racket of
any sort is contagious, and where two
or three people would not think OF
waking the echoes with their shrieks of
innocent glee dozen or SO would be
pretty sure to raise a rumpuS.
| There are other conditions in which
a chaperone is advisable. One is when
the excursion is to be extended and a
return made late in the day. If the
party means to stop for a night any
where chaperone is indispensable. 1t
may be a jolly young married woman or
a girl of the older set who is the sister of
one of the younger members of the
band. In any case she will lend dignity
to the company. Even if a meal is to
be taken at hotel or inn it is we'll to
have an older person along.
| Once it would have been hard to find
a woman of even comparatively ma
ture years who could be called upon to
chaperone wheeling party. But we
have changed all that. The improve
ments in modern science are bringing
things to such pass that soon there
will be no old people. They will all OF
them be always young. Keeping in
step with this advance is modern inven-
delight. The visions that the old men
saw and the dreams that the young men
dreamed in Bible times will be matched
by the realities that will be achieved by
the young, middle aged and even elder
ly women who have the physical train
ing that keeps them in order supple,
mented by the means that render out
door excursions JOY.

All his neighbors grew richer than
Old Paul Lenthier, trout fisherman.

Old Paul Lenthier, trout fisherman.
Yet what man in the settlement
Possessed his sou in more content?
Those days he padded to some clear pool
Where trout lay deep in waters cool,
Those days he sat with pole and line
Drinking the air that was like good wine,
Watching the duck-brood learn to dive,
Glad like them to be there and alive.
He sang, and taught little Jeanne 10 fish,
To go with him was Jeanne's first wish =
erich Joe Bruseau he make charcoal,
On de lake he cannot gO;-
We, Jeanne, have only de feeshin'- pole
But we're richer dan rich joel"
Jeanne grew fair as that white birch there,

Finery for French girls eye;
Jeanne almost cried her bright eyes out,
"Dere comes no money. from feeshin'

Paul heard, and sadly stole away
To fish alone the whole of day;
That night he hung up his pole and net
Slowly, with just sigh of regret;
Then whistled as gay as blackbirds can
And bargained to be Joe Bruseau's man,
VOWing SO Stoutly that he was fit
Joe gave him work in the charcoal pit.
And now Jeanne laughs, she's covered DER
With ribbons from the notion store;
Old Paul laughs TOO, through DUST OF the
coal,-
And tries to forget his fshing-pole.
But in the bays, pruce-darkened, dim,
The splashing duck-brood watch for him:

their cry,

Quick back, old Paul, you soon must die
Come back where life is goodn'

Fatal PrecautiOn.

A farmer>in Cumberland county was
driving across railroad track when a
train killed both his horses and
knocked him about ten rods off his
course. In the resulting suit for dam
ages the plaintiff was on the witness
stand. making out good case, when
the defendants lawyer asked him:
did you take any precaution before
driving upon the track!'
The witness seemed reluctant to an
swer but, being pressed to do so, final
ly stammered out:
"Waal. squire. took a little-just a
couple of swallers. that's ALL"
This started n new line of defense,
and it turned out that the couple of
swallows We're the last in pint flask
that had consoled the honest old farm
err along the road. This put new face
on the situation. Journal.
