KRAMER TOO MUCH
FOR lVER LAWSON

The Newark News publishes the fol-

Clarke won the five-mile handicap,
going out at the bell. Fogler coming
fast down the homestretch was only
a few inches behind. Paddy Hehir,
with a pull from Walter Bardgett, took
the two-mile invitation.
Frank Sramer's chance OF again
winning the American national cycling
championship was materially bettered
as the result OF the one-mile race.
Kramer won the race, while jackie
Clarke. his Australian rival finished
but third. and the point table as now
computed shows Kramer with a total
of 32 points. while Clarke has 80. This
still gives the little Australian an ad-
vantage Of one point with two races
left but II does not make Kramers
task as hard as II appeared. The Amer
lean champion still has his work cut
out for him, as he needs the two re-

and finish second in the other, the
title will he his by one point, but he
must do this much TO earn the honors.
Joe Fogler finished second. while liver

have or used to have barbarous prac-
tice called hook swinging. They deck
themselves out with garlands and then
assemble together to undergo the most
horrible torture. A wire about quar-
ter of an inch In diameter and seven
feet long is pierced through the tongue
and then the wretched being will dance
for over half an hour with the wire
still hanging through the tongue
Some of them form themselves into a
row and are then sewed together by a
wire needle threaded with cord. They
are sewed by the arms and look like
behring's on wire when ready for the
hook. 1t is thought that the victims
are drugged considerably beforehand
owing to the sullen, dazed expression
they wear throughout, but sometimes
one or two faint and are with great
difficulty brought round again.

Ice Explosions In Siberia.

the bursting of one of the ice bubbles
in the river, a phenomenon i had nei-
Their heard nor read of before. The
streams coming down from the hills
were frozen on the surface some six to
nine inches thick. The water beneath
flowed faster than 1t could escape, and
the pressure, on the principle of a
hydraulic press, became irresistible.
First the elasticity of the ice was seen
by the rising of circular mounds from
six to eight feet in diameter and from
four or five feet high. The bursting
point came at last with a report like
an explosion. The water escaped, but
soon froze again. have seen scores Of

Marriage by Halter.

Among ignorant people of English
birth it was once the belief that q wife
bought with money or goods was legal
ly married If the purchaser led her all
the way home by a halter
Mr.. Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian, told of village poet known
to him who bought wife for half
crown and led her twelve miles to his
cottage. The squire and the rector pro-
tested to the village poet that he was
not legally welded.
"Why, yes, l be-" he replied. "I'll
take my Bible oath / never once took
the halter off till she'd crossed the
doorsill and the door was shut"
The latest instances of such wife
sales occurred in 1853 and 1859, when
women were sold in Little Horton and
in Dudley. In these cases blue rib
bon took the place of the straw halter.

Why Nesroe. Like wat.rmslons.

The humorists always associate the
African with the watermelon, assum-
Ing that the taste of the colored man
for his favorite dainty arises from his
life In the southern states, where the
melon vine grows like a weed. AS a
fact, however, the African taste for
the watermelon is hereditary. The
vine is native Of Africa, where it is
found wild in the great central plains
of the continent, and has also been cul-
tivated for many ages. In Egypt the
melons grown along the Nile rival
those Of southeastern Missouri. The
melons mentioned by the Israelites as
being among the good things they had
in Egypt were undoubtedly watermel-

Is represented, and in one case long
