Years ago there was prominent
lawyer OF Chicago who was one o.
the quietest and most unobstrusive
of men, IL was said that he moved
about noiselessly. with his hands
meekly clasped on his breast and O
seraphic and perpetual smiio

A bon mot at his expense was
credited to the late Emory Storrs,
also of Chicago, as brilliant wit as
he was an advocate.
1t appears that one day Storrs
went to the meek lawyers Office and

Indeed, the revival Of the bicycle is
so much an accomplished fact, that II
is rather late in the day to Inquire the
reasons thereof. Doubtless the very
best one is a realization Of the great
truth that the man or woman who
does not use q wheel, misses so much
