you've noticed how easily a bicycle
pulls away from a horse.
But is the bicycle faster than
the ostrich? That's pretty hard to
tell, because it is difficult to get an
ostrich to race or to go just when
you want him to. There was a race
one time between a bicycle and an
ostrich, but it didn't prove much.
There was a crack bicycle rider
who went to South Africa. He
thought it would be an easy place
to make money. But he found no
body there good enough to race
with him, and people wouldn't pay
money to see him race with him.
self, so he didn't get any matches
and didn't make any money.
"He was very much discouraged
about it and one day he was sit
ting on the porch of the hotel and
a man came up and said: "'Ullo,
mate. Yer lookin' bit down on
yer luck, amt We? Wot's the mat
ter, if cove may awsk?'
$50 the bicycle rider told him he
couldn't make any money, and the
man said, My word, but that's too
bad. But ave ostrich that's a
bit of a racer, and I'll match i'm
against you for mile, or 10 miles,
straightaway.'
"'Ah, what do I know about o.
triches?' said the racer.
"'W'ot do l know about b.
cycles? said the man.
$50 the rider agreed to race, and
then he went around asking every
body what about ostriches and how
fast ostriches could go and what he
ought to do in a race against one.
At last he asked old Ralph, who
was considered to know more about
ostriches than any man in South
Africa. and old Ralph told him that
his only chance was to get ahead
of the ostrich at the start, for II
the ostrich saw something ahead
of him, he would turn around and
run the other way.
"When race day came, they
brought the ostrich out on the road
with a hood over his eyes, and the
rider and the ostrich were put side
by side. The referee held up his
pistol and shouted. One, two,
three" and bang! The bicycle rid
er was started with a push. the os-
trich owner snatched the hood off

table and held it toward the half

his mad fancy had made into a
book of rare stamps.
Presently / heard Vance's heavy
tread, and the stranger hearing it,
too, the shadow slipped from my
range of vision. AS Vance opened
the door, I dashed for the electric
light button and flooded the apart
men with the dazzling rays. The
stamp fiend crouched like a wild
beast, the album in one hand, the
revolver in the other. AS he
blinked he dived at Vance, upset
ting that worthy, and headed for
my wardrobe door, where his de-
ranged senses saw safety. AS he
hurled himself into the closet, !
sprang the lock, and he was our
prisoner. But the muffled crack of
the pistol warned us that we had a
dangerous mailman.
Vance soon had an officer and
we got our man out, though 1t re-

when one touched the precious al

the light of madness. His identity

ments on his person, and my unbid-

THEY WILL ALL FOLLOW.

on the 2Tth of this month the peo-
pls of La Grande will vote upon the
question of floating a $4,000 bond
issue TO raise money for a new high
school Undoubtedly that town needs
~ new building and it is doubtful if
they could invest $4,000 in a better
way.
Pendleton also needs a new high
school building and it will be up to
the city to get one before many years.
The present building is antiquated
and is inadequate in many ways 1t
should be replaced by large and
modern structure suitable to accom-
n,odate the increasing number of stu
dents within that institution. Pen
dIeton is a school town and it must
sustain its reputation as such.
But in the view of the East Ore
gonian the most effective way for To-
cal people TO work for new high
school is to aid the movement for a
traction system. The establishment
Of an interurban system operating
with this place as base will take
this city forward. It will cause sub
stantial advance in realty values, an
increase in population and a general
business uplift. After the traction
system has been established it will not
be long until the. new high school
will be secured. Nor will it be long
until Pendleton secures a first class
theatre, a better water system and
many other civic improvements.
One of the best things about the
traction movement is the fact that
liz it succeeds a multitude of other
blessings will follow in its wake.
