rHE FARMER AND lTHE RIcYcLE.
Economic Reasons That Persuaded
Him to Buy Cow Instead.

Some years ago, soon after bicycles
began to be freely used throughout
The Literary Guide by M. Bea lnell,
New York house !ur:ed up at vil-
lage in Central New York. He ex-
patiated to an old farmer upon the
virtues of the new machine, dwelling
upon what a ttne-saver 1t was, and
withal how fashionable 1t would be for
the old farmer to be able to ride down
to the village on one Of the new-fangl-
ed machines whenever he wanted to-.
"Why," said the agent, whenever
you go to the post-ofice, bank, or
store everybody will stop and stare
at Farmer Wilson, and pretty soon
you'll be the most-talked-of-man in
the whole county"
"That may be So" replied the
iarmer. "but tell you I'm a-needin'
good new cow mon am one o.
them things you're a-talllin' about" )"
Nevertheless, the agent extracted a
promise chat the old man would save
up his money and purchase bicycle
when the agent came around in the
fall.
According to promise, the agent was
on hand In the fall with the wheel.
The farmer took him in charge and
carried him out to the lot and showed
him fine Jersey cow.
That's what I bought with the
money saved up for you" said the
farmer. And without waiting for the
agent to recover from his surprise
he went on; 81 lowed that l needed
the COW mon I did the bicycle, an
there she is. Amt she beaut?"
When the agent recovered his
breath he said, You'll look funny
riding that cow to town, won't you::"
"Ya-as," drawled out the old farmer,
"but I'd look darned sight fu1nier
trySn' to milk a bicycle. ."-silas X.

"In the year 1895 the side of my right
foot was cut off from the..little toe down
to the heel, and the physician who bad
charge of me was trying to sew up the
side of my foot, but with no success. at
last my whole foot and way up above my
calf was nothing but proud flesh. l suf.
fered untold agonies for four years, and
tried different physicians and all lands Of
ointmcnts. l could walk only with
crutches. In two weeks afterwards l saw
a change in my limb. Then began using
Cuticnra Soap and Ointment often during
the day, and kept it UP for seven mo nths,
when my limb was healed up just the
same as if I never had trouble. 1t is
eight mooths now since I stopped using
Cuticura Remedies, the best on Gods
earth I am working at the present day,
after five years of suffering. The cost: of
Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only So,
bue the doctors bills were more like 5000.

Allen Suit.

Attorney Judson Renews Motion in the
Allen Suit.
Bridgeport, June TUESDAYS session
of the. Allen Rutland false Imprisonment
suit will probably not prove as inter-
esting to the numerous spectators as
usual, for the jury will not be called
in at all, and the time will be devoted
to arguments upon motion entered
yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Judson, for
the defense.
The motion is for the court to instruct
the jury to bring in a verdict for the
defense, upon the grounds that in re-
leasing his sister from all liability Mr..
Allen released DR.. Rutland and the
Westport sanitarium as we'll, the stat
utes providing that the release Of one
defendant releases all.
This motion was made earlier in the
case, and was then denied by Judge
eager. Mr.. Judson renewed it yester-
day. contending that the PLAINTIFF S
case had all been introduced and abso-
lutely no evidence had been offered to
show that Aliens sister was not CO.
defendant with DR.. Rutland and the
sanitarium association.
Mr.. Allen some time ago signed a
paper releasing his sister, Mrs James
H. Ward, from any liability for his in
generation at the sanitarium.

and the Metropolitan museums, nothing
further is necessary than the mere
mention of the name"
Sir Caspar treated in his address Of
the status of art in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. He said
nothing was so absurd on the part of
an artist as TO try to reproduce the
Arthurean knights as they must have
looked when guided only by a helmet
or piece of armor recovered after cen
tnries Of burial He deplired the ten
dency of modern art to pay the poll
tioian and comply with the tendencies
of the time, rather than with true
ideals of beauty. He urged that the
observer should seek the. good inten-
tons in the works of the artist.
He traced the unsettled state of me-
diaeval art in England and France,
and said that there was much in it to
enjoy.
In speaking of recent art he said that
artists We're inclined to hurry their
works too much. They follow too great
ly the demand for clever work. The
productions are realistic but coarse, ano
the painter or sculptor is too prone
to leave his task when the real diff
culties begin.
He extolled many teachers of great
artists because they preferred to sac
rifice their own opportunities to fame
for the advancement Of their pupils.
The anniversary exercises We're fol-
lowed by a reception given by the pres
ident and the faculty to Sir Purdon
Clarke and the members of the commit
tee of aWard-the Messrs. Smedley,
Walker and Mowibray, artists from
New York. After which the work OF
the students of the school, including
the work of the competitors for the
Winchester fellowship were inspected
in the class rooms on the first floor.
