My friend, Bicycle Bill, rises tosaytlia* I
he changes his handle-b *rs from ramshorn ■
to cowhorn ai.d vica versa for his own
convenience and not for the delectation j
of an admiring public as some people ,
seem to think.
Bloomers are all right, says you. but '
suppose what’s partly in them should .
come upon a rat unawares? What would

The question has often been raised
whether or not the riding of a bicycle de- |
tracts from the dignity of one in a high
position who is looked up to and whose
influence is felt by many others. Cyclists
have steadfastly maintained that it is no
less dignified for a minister, a doctor, a
profess >r, a judge, or a school ma’am to
traverse the crest of mother earth by the
rotary motion of the pedal extremities
applied to the cranks of a bicycle than to
move more tediously over the walks and
and m »■ highways by the lab nous, bit
time honored method'of placing one foot
before the other alt< rnately ou the ground •
Dign'iy is a n atter of; c ion and conduct
not place or habilaments; yet it is uu
wise to provoke the mirth or ridicule of
others by appearing in unconventional
garb, the promint nt figure before an
audience 01 in a room full of spectators.
The pulpit, the rostrvm or the plat
form is not the preper place for a bicycle
costume. as a young lady school teaeher
of New York City discovered recently
when she appeared in the school-room
one morning dressed in bloomers and
short skiir and whs greeted by a buist of
laughter by the scholars
A nan can preserve his dignity und< r
any and al' circumstances, if he has a
proper conception of the word.
A c< u in of mine had a curious bicycle
experience lately. Being unable toscratcli
up the price of an up to date mount
weighing only 7 or 77 8 pounds with the
tool bag mortgage and all on, he deluded
himself with the idea that a second hand
50 poind steam roller model that would
not bring s:’> 00at a pawn shop was bet
ter than n i bike ut all, so he traded for
the wreck.
Not being much of a tinker himself he
set his I lothei George to work getting
the road roller in riding trim.
The front wh el needed repairs so
George dissected it,putting the steel balls
from the bi a ings in an empty pillbox
so they would not get lost.
Georgs did not have the pill habit him
self but John was sffleted that way and
that’s how the triable began.
John waked up about midnight with a
headache and got up, went to the bureau
and swallowe I three of the hardened
globes, under the impression that he wa s ,
absorbing some mandrake soothers.
He arose again about 2 a. m.. when he
got mud and swallowed the remainder of
the pellets.
It was two days before his brother
discovered the loss of the bicycle ac- i
cessaries and then the hunt began.
When it was Sunnily ascertained that ■
John was taking care of the u there
ver • hard words between the brothers
Brother said John did if a purpose,
I while John retorted that brother had
; wheels in bis head. Then brother said
; while he might have have wheels in his
I thinker, he did not have lull bearriugs
;in his stomach, which sarcasm riled
'John, and thev sailed in.
j Brother got John by the collar and |
| shook him until you could her the bea-- .
i rings rattle around in ids tread box like ■
j seeds in a dried pumpkin about Novem i
i bi-r.
i John has been arrested twice for d's
t cubing the peace waking folks up at
10 p. m. going home with a “jag” on
I Brother can't ride his bike and there
is a deadlock in tho family.
A correspondent, of the St. Louis Star
; Sayings of a recent da'ie tn us moralizes
lU bloomers.
a
Ofa'l the girls the boys adore—
Modern Maids and Maids ■ f yore-
I he one that thrills them to the core.
Is ths bloomer girl, of skirt no m >re
She rides her whe 1 just like a man:
steers curv-s and corner* and moving van.
Her nerve, you thiuk, is hard t > beat.
As she oedals along a business street.
But look! a rat runs cross n-r way.
She starts and shrieks in loud dismay.
No skirt- has she to elevate—
’ . is here the bloomers meets its fate.
Small dogs with disagreeable propen
sity for rushing into the road to bark at
ev< ry passer by, should be chained up—
or exterminated.
A friend of mine recently was enjoy
ing the pleasure of coasting down a
long, well graded hill, the road smooth
as a table and no vehicles to look out for.
A refreshing breeze kept the suns
power in check, as he wheeled swiftly
down, thoroughly enjoying the exhila
rating motion, when a small terrier
rushed out from a gateway, bristling
and barking with fury at seeing him
going so fast
Tht dog ran with all speed, and alas!
in his eagerness got a little to far for
ward, paused for an instant to 1 t my
friends well rounded ‘ calves’’ come up
mm —caught his tail in the spracket
wheel.
For a few minutes doggie didn t
know what bad happened, and away
went all three —doggie going round
round and round faster than he had
ever gone round after his tail, even
when only a pup. when he no doubt,
spent hours chasing it around.
When my friend succeeded in stop
ping his wheel, he found the dog still
alive but he had lost his poor tail in the
rl Iu the process of untangling and
“letting off steam’’ that followed, my
friend took a second lo .'k at the canine
(with a large rock in his hand) recog
nized it as tho pet of a (lady) friend mar
by—glanced up at the house and there,
standing in the road with blood in her
•yes, was do gio’s Mistress
Hh took hi* nice, big rock in one hand
and hi* wheel in the other and h»m
mered them together a few time*, then
dropped the rook over in a ditch and
walked baek up to dogfi*’* Mi«tre**-‘o

apologyzed—hedont know what f >r i or
what he said —but < oggi<’s Mistress
tin illy smiled and said it wus “the dog's
fault.” My friend, unwittingly, re
peated those three words, marie his bow,
wheeled out into the road and pt epared
to mount.
With his foot on the pedal be paus d,
having a feeling in his back as if he had
been shot in too different pines, turned
his head for an explanation of this pecu
liar sensation. Tnere stood rhe Mistress
with doggie in her arms, her eyes blaz
ing and a fiown on her face that would
have driven a staue-villian to suicide.
One look and he scorched. Hemet her
in town next day and she didn’t speak.
