In diamond language a carat is equal

among merchants to speak of carats
under twelve grains. Many difficulties
In the trade are due to the fact that

ACCOMMODATING THE
 SCHOOL CHILDREN
4 Custom of the Bicycle Men That
 Seems Satisfying to All Concerned.

Few people perhaps realize what the bicycle shops of the city are doing to !! provide for the school children in the l absence of d real necessity that cam | not well be provided for at the Central | school grounds. Many who attend the | grammar school come from a consider
 able distance, SO far in fact that walk ing would be task and street car riding would make quite an expense | bill in the course of month. Nearly all of these have bicycles which if they leave at the school house during school hours would be subject to possible ! theft as there are so many of them i that one could steal a dozen wheels without their being missed. unless the thief -chanced to be watched. And if 1 they were not stolen they would have to stand out in the weather which is sometimes bad.
 The bicycle shops therefore tell the children to leave their wheels in the shops which are not far from the school house. when they go to school. and come after them when school is over. and this invitation most of the youngsters avail themselves. of The bicycle men of course make the offer to stimulate the friendship of the chill dren and secure their repair work or possibly sell them their next wheels when they are needed. It is regarded by them in the light of advertising and no doubt is very effective.
 But it is not as cheap advertising as one might suppose. It is small matter to permit a friend to set his
 
 but when these friends come in scores every morning and pile the place full. then make a football rush in the even ing. the practice becomes very much of recognized institution with its recognized demands just as do Fourth of July or Christmas. The practice was started by Stewart and Templin whose shop is perhaps the nearest one to the school house and therefore gets the biggest patronage of this sort It has grown until they now have from 150 to 200 patrons of this sort. They estimate that taking in and giving out the wheels. and otherwise looking out for the interests of the children just about aggregates the equal of the time of one emplOye. As their quarters are small there is lot more to 1t than the mere handling of the childrens wheels. They have scores of wheels of their own. in fact enough to practi- cally fill the shop. SO to give the youngsters room. the first thing done in the morning is to move all their own second hand or rent wheels into the back yard and give up their store room racks to the chiidrens wheels. Then after the o'clock rush all their own stock has to be moved back in the house.
 This is not written because the bi- cycle men are kicking" Far from it. They believe it pays in dollars and cents. beside the pleasure of forming the acquaintance of the children and of accommodating them.
