added. who drew attention to the lone
liness Of the motocyclist as compared
with the owner Of an automobile.
But" he continued. III is not a EoIi-
tary game. You win find in summer
that free wheeling is an exercise
which your lady friends viii greatly
enjoy. / have heard that waltzing IS
very agreeable pastime, with your
right hand gently pressed against the
waist Of your partner. Initiate the
position after you have mounted your
motorcycle, when she is on her free
wheel You can get to Henley quite
nicely that way. ay."-London Daily

Congressman Smith Makes Speech in
Favor of II.

Congressman Smith Makes Speech in
Favor of 1t.
The idea of postal telegraph has a
warm advocate in Samuel W. Smith,
member of congress from Michigan.
who in carefully prepared speech in
the house insisted that if the govern
ment would undertake such a system
the deficit in the postal department
would be almost wiped out.
1--WE should" he said, "have first
class postal telegraph in the United
States in connection with our splendid
postal facilities, and the rates can be
reduced at least one-half, leaving a
sufficient amount to dispose of the de-
felt and have money left to extend the
ru al service to practically every home
al pay the city and rural carriers a
compensation fitting their services and
experiences"
Wherever the postal telegraph has
been adopted, according to Mr.. Smith,
it has at once been followed by a re-
duction in price and by an increase in
the number and kinds of messages.
Mr.. Smith is authority for the state
ment that "the Western Union octopus
in one year declared dividends which
reached the astonishing sum of Ala per
cent"
