A SERIOUS LOVE SPELL
BUILDING UP THE SUBURBS
A youns lady sines in our choir
Whoso hair is the color of phoir.
Bat her charm is unique-,
She has such a fair chique
It Ls really a joy to bo nhoir.
Whenever she looks down the aisle
She circs me a beautiful smaiale,
And of all of her beaux
1 am certain shesheaux
She likes me the best all the wliaisle.
Last Sunday she wore a new sacque,
Low-cut at the front and the bacqae,
And a lovely boquet
Worn in such a cute wuet
Af only few girls havo the knacque.
Some day, ere she wows too antique,
In marriage her hand 1 shall siquc;
IfsheVnota coquette
Which I'd greatly regruette,
Slio shall share my six dollars a wique.

AN ANTI-BLOOMER CLUB
A number of men in .Norwich, N. Y.,
being desiroup of having a quiet time
and not wishing to be too popular, have
leaned up against each other, and ask
the public to think of them collectively
as the "anti-bloomer brigade.'
Of course it saves time to think of
such youngsters all at once rather than
to consider them separately, and for so
much they have done well.
We predict that the sound, healthy
young women of Norwich will not be
likely, in the future, to give much atten
tion to them except as an organized
body.
Each member of this unique organ
ization is expected to sign the following:
"I hereby agree to refrain from as
sociating with all young ladies who
adopt the bloomer cycling costume, and
pledge myself to the use of all honor
able means to render such costumes
unpopular in the community where I
reside."
This much for the promise. An
anxious world awaits the result. Bi

1 minutes bicycle ride from the city hall,
with large garden attached; asphalt roads to
the center of the city: rates $6 a month, or
will take lessons in riding for part payment;
special vestibule for wheels, with janitor
service.
This is the sort of advertisement
which has emptied the apartment
buildings near the centre of Chicago
and made the Hat habitue a cottager.
The nearly continuous procession of
wheels up Michigan boulevard in the
early hours of the morning is conclusive
proof that people have suddenly Hed
from the noisy pavements. Bicycle
firms are proportionately happy. The
sales have exceeded those of other
years, and the demand is ever on the
increase. All over the suburban
country new houses are springing up
by the hundreds, new homes for the
people who are fleeing the narrow con
fines of hall bed-rooms. Consumptive
clerks are setting up vines and fig trees
of their own and studying the habits of
the young onions at sunrise. The can
do this and still leisurely cat their
breakfast and '"scorch into town in
time to open the store and dust down
the ribbon cases.
This adoption of the wheel as a neces
sary part of a young man's household
has made a marked reduction in down
town rentals. It is no longer necessary
for the "young man with exceptional
references" to pay his week's salary for
a "pleasant room in e private family,"
a pleasant room usually consisting of a
6mall clothes press and a door into a
blind hall. This spring he gets a suite
for the price he used to pay tor his
folding bed and a tin bath tub.
EVANGELISM ON WHEELS.
The last number of Fuel: 6hows a
means of preaching the gospel to wheel
men while they are riding. Xo doubt
this was, by many, considered as a joke,
but such a wagon is actually being
built at Adran, Mich. It will be driven
by a gasoline motor and will have a seat
ing capacity forfive'tnissionaries. With
the number of heathen in this country
such outfits ought to do good service.
SOMETHING TO HIM.
He had been entertained by the Den
ver boys; he had entertained 6ome him
self; he had enjoyed himself ut the league
meet iu a fashion most lush, and in
consequence he was unable to walk
6teadily along the road in front of the
Coleman House even when there was no
earthquakes disturbing the earth's sur
face. Like some men in that condition
he retained his speech, and when the
policeman gathered him in he said pom
pously: "Sir, is there anything in my language
to'warrant you in arresting me?"
"No," said the officer briefly.
"Nor in my general appearance?"
"No."
"Well, sir, is there anything in me as
a gentleman and a League member to
warrant this arrest?"
"There is."
"Be kind enough to 6tate it, please,'
and he braced himself and stuck out his
chest like a pouter pigeon.
"I should say," replir d the officer, care -fully,
"that it was about six or eight
large drinks of whiskey."
It was searer a dozen, but the guess
i close enough. The Wheel.
POLITICAL POINTS.
The paragraph on the last page of
The Coukiek relative to the appoint
ment of the chairman of the republican
county central committee, was printed
early in the week when it was thought
the selection would not be made for
several days. In the mean time Paul
Clark was chosen. It is an excellent
appointment. Mr. Clark is well qualifi
ed to conduct a vigorous campaign, and
the interests of the various candidates
are reguarded as safe in his hands.
The Pops in state conventibn nomina
ted Samuel Maxwell for judge of the
supreme court and Elia W. Peattie and
J. H. Bayston for regents of the univer
tity. The nominations were not made
with any expectation of electing the
candidates, but merely as an evidence
of good faith.
