What is needed, 1s constant agitation

forced to enact into law such a system

Twenty-Five Cents to Carry Your
Wheel on a Train.
The railroads in the Sonthern Pas-
senger Association will charge 25 cents
hereafter for carrying a bicycle in the
baggage car. This is a uniform rate
for all distances. ~The roads have been
considering this question for a long
time. Wheelmen argaed that a bicycle
is personal baggage just as a trunk, and
thefore should be carriedT free. But
the road answered that it is more trou-
ble to handle bicycles.. They are bulky
and unless packed are in danger of fall-
ing down and being injured. Then bi-
cyeles have diminished the number or}
passengers, some claimed, but this is
hardly true of Southern lines, ~or not to
much extent. It is true ~probably in
in the north. At the meeting of the
rate committee of the Southern Passen-
ger Association on Tuesday this ques-
tion was finally decided by fixing the}

times a stripe is cone, or, perhaps, half

Nobody knew.
What do you do with them?
Nothing.
They are the same flags; that is, there

"The locksmith came out, looking
xnobby, withTa big rose in his button-
hole. His countenance was screwed
into a smile, but none knew the key to
his happiness. Just then a creditor
appeared, and the locksmith, making
a spring, bolted down the street, where,
after securing shelter, he barred him-
self in.
~-A certain precocious baby had been
keenly watched by his fond mother,
of future genius. If he scratched the
furniture with a pencil, he was to be an
author; if he opened a book and made
a noise with his mouth, he was to be a
preacher; if he imitated some action of
an older person, he was to be an actor.
One day he had been forcibly emptying
the pockets of his obig brother,� who,
struck with an idea, ran to his mother
and cried: oOh, mamma, I know what

Improving the Street.
It looked like a working bee this
morning among many of the close
merchants, to see
them out with shovels and hoes smovth-
ing the clay they recently put on main
street to keep down the dust. Capt,
White was bossing the squad and for a
while there was a lively contest between
Henry Hooke, Willis Fleming and
Jim White as to which could work
found out it was more comfortable back in
the shade. That part of the street over
considerable improvement.

. A modest young Jady wanting to
canis a purchase stepped in at Jim
| StarkeyTs and addressed him thus: oIt
is my desire to obtain a pair of circular
cillating burnished steel appliances that
sparkle like particles of: gold leaf set
with Alaskan diamonds and which are
utilized for retaining in proper position
the habliments of the lower extremities,
which innate delicacy forbids me to
mention.� Jim looked puzzled for a
minute but got out of the dilemma by
saying; ~I guess you can find some
garters at ClarkTs, right next door.�

at last election the Board of Council-

There are all kinds of rumors a3 to
