8icycles and Bow Legs.
This subject may appear at first

glance tO be a matter of small import-
ance, but it is not. Some of the Objec-
tions made to a bicycle relate to the
matter of tread. The tread of a bicy-
rle, be it known, is the distance be-
tween the pedals. which varies from as
low as two and one-half inches up to
Live and a half or even more, and the
narrower the tread the better in the
eyes and minds of a great many people.
in this idea they are entirely wrong,
says the Washington Post. In fact,
the; exact reverse is the case, and it
will not take very long to demonstrate
it. ' ‘ .‘

11‘1- order tO fully understand this
question. a few practical illustrations
- are of more value than any quantity of
scientific theories. In the first place,
there is the object lesson of the Co-
manche Indian. The Comanche, in
the days of his greatness, whatever he
may he now, was pie-eminently a
horseback Indian, and has been re-
“ Egai‘ded as a. type of that class. NO liv-
‘ring-Fman ever saw a Comanche on his
native heath who was not bow-legged.
There are men in \Vashington tO-day
who have seen hundreds of them, and
all they ever saw were bow-legged. The
reason they were bow-legged was be-
cause they were narrow-tread Indians.
An Indian used to ride without a sad
die, frequently without a bridle, and
:10 make himself secure in his seat he
gripped his pony with his knees and
feet. Very little imagination is re-
qu-ired to picture the shape of his legs
while engaged in this feat and to un-
derstand that much practice of this
kind would result in a permanent

curve to the legs. A

The same conditions produce like re-
sults in bicycle riders. The saddle of
the bicycle has a tendency to slant the
legs outward ,and if they have to be
brought in at the lower ends to a nar-
row. tread, a curve will be produced
sooner or later, The
prevailing style of bicycle costumes to
which the gentle sex display a marked
partiality affords exceptional oppor-
tunities for a study of this question.
When a leg takes a curve it generally
starts from the ankle, and the short
dresses worn by lady bicyclists make
plain even to the casual observer the

usually sooner.

existence or non-existence of the curve.

The fact that the curve does exist re.-
moves the necessity for any learned
dissertation on the advantages of the
narrow tread. There are no advan-
tages sufficient to overcome the one

disadvantage of tbecurvc.

nothing in sight, from a rear view,
prevent one from thinking that a CO-
manche Indian is walking up the street
in front of one. ’
There is no choice in the matter of
sex. The c111ve is in ev1dcnce in the
male lider as well as the female, and
male dress is fully up to the standard
Of the females, as affording a chance
for the study of curves. ‘ It is, of
course, possible that the bicycle of nar-
row tread is not to blame for this.
There have been bow-legged people
always. Whether there are more now

 

than there should be is a question, but
it would seem that narrow-tread bi-
cycles cannot but assist in the produc-
tion of curved legs. The narrow tread
can be overdone, and we are inclined
to think it has been. There are nar-
row-tread. bicycles and there are, alas,
curved legs! Is there a distinct con-
nection between these two facts ‘9
Journalism, and Other Journalism.

The de Lome incident has demon-

strated the difference between journal—
ism and other journalism, says the Wa-
terbury Republican. The patriotic
newspapers of the country have ap-
proved the dignified, manly and tact-
ful manner in which the administration
has handled the delicate matter; they
have recognized the importance of the
incident but haven’t attempted to ex-
aggerate it; they have declined to act
like escaped inmates {from the violent
ward; and they havefinstinctively felt
that the course of President McKinley
in dealing with the incident with firm-
ness but without a trace of personal
resentment was suggested:by the die-
tates of wisdom.
Newspapers which have treated the
affai1 in this spirit have represented
journalism. Newspapers which have
treated it in a different spirit have rep-
resented other journalism. They have
insisted on having de Lome booted out
Of the country forthwith; they have
tried to show that de Lome’s bad
break would cause a bad break be-
tween this country and Spam; they
have insisted on getting up'a war over
the incident if possible; they have
wickedly, for sensational purposes, tried
to stir up international strife; and they
have been in a state of inindjfibecause
the diplomacy Of the government at
Washington hasn’t worn hobnails in
its shoes and carried a butcher-knife
in its right handgand a self-cocking re-
volver in its left, to say nothingof
feathers and war paint.

Journalism is white and other jour-
nalism is yellow. 'One of the fads Of
other journalism is to try to embroil
individuals or nations in a scrap, pro-
vided the scrap is of adequate dimen-
sions to justify -screecl~1ing headlines
and nightmare illustrations. Other
journalism has some brains but no
It had rather be yellow
than be right.‘ If it can’t ‘rule it is
ready to ruin. 1t endeavors to appoint
itself conservator over the-universe at
large. It has a lofty contempt for facts
and for truth. D It can make {mountains
out of molehills, and if no molehills
are at hand it can make mountains out
of imagination. Its motto, like that of
de Lome's commercial negotiations
with the United States, is “For effect.”

It seems such an ugly fate that we
should always love most the one who it
is most unlikely we will ever marry.

The windWednesdaywas a mostjabso-

A woman will wait for a man hours,
but masculine impatience will not allow
him to give her even five minutes’ grace.

wonder if there isn’ t some one some-

HOW TOw FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand tw enty—fom
hours; a sediment o1 settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. TOO f1 equent desi1 e
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of ordei.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer s
Swamp-Root, the g1 eat kidney remedy
fulfills every wishb' in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladdel and
every part of the m inai y passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night tob urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent

A~ patriotic suggestion which has
met with great approval has been made
to erect a flag pole on the triangle in
front of the stores of Gilbert and Tay-
lor and G. C. M. Gregory. S.W. Olm-
stead has entered into the scheme with
enthusiasm and has offered to furnish
the pole as his contribution assuring
the Editor that it will be a “good one”
on the co ndition'that enough money is
subscribed to pay for a suitable flag to
fly from its peak. A subscription pa-
per has been started to-day and it is
proposed tO have a memorable Flag
raising, Decoration Day under the aus-
pices of the local members of the G. A.
R. if they care to take the matter in
charge. As there has been consider-
able efforts 1n the past by the Old sol-
diers to properly observe the day it is
hoped that the matter may be pushed
and a day to be remembered be the
result. Wilton is probably the only
town in the state where some public
recognition of the Day set apart to the
memory of .0111‘ soldier dead is not
made. _____~_w

LEWIS R. HURLBUTT.

News reached this place on Thursday
of the death of Dr. Lewis R. Hurlbfitt,

.at hisflhome in Stamford,onWednesday,

uating in the Class of 1843. The late
Charles Jones was a fellow classmate.
He taught school for a short time and
he began the study of medicine, grad-
uating with honor. Soon after he be-
gan the practice of medicine in Stam-
ford where he has since resided. He

About forty young people making up
four jolly loads enjoyed a sleighride to
Bedding last week, to attend a supper
at the home Of George Stevens, for the
benefit of Umpawoag chapel.

There is a large amount of conjec-
ture as to the name of the next ap
pointec to the Georgetown post-office.
The name of a genial railroad official
seems to receive the most favor.

Westley Barrett is slowly recovering
from his little wrestle with a tall oak
that from a little acorn grew. Mr.
Barrett sustained a broken rib in the
encounter. The tree which had lodged
in one of its neighbors after being fell-
ed, was being cut away by him when it
gave way suddenly and started for the
’ground with Mr. Barrett in hot pursuit.
Mr. Barrett weighs about 200 pounds,
and land on his fallen fee with force
enough to break his rib. He has re-
ceived many congratulations on escap-
ing so easily.

C. H. Taylor our Postmaster-elect is
receiving congratulations on his selec-
tion to the much coveted position of
Uncle Sams employee in this place.
Congressman Hill should be congratu-
lated on his choice for the place. Mr.
Taylor is- sure to sustain the reputation
for courteous treatment of the public
which he has so firmly established as
agent at Georgetown station, in the
past few years. We understand that
our genial clerk who gave good satis-
faction under the old regime, will be
retained as Assistant P. M. under the
new. Mr.,_Flood, the. retiring P. M.,
has always given satisfaction and the
patrons of the'olfice are happy in the
knowledge that the fortunes of politics
have put another good man in the
place.

Ezra P. Bennett, of this place, and
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Osborn, of New
York, were married at St. Andrew’s
Episcopal church in that city on Thurs.
day evening .at 7:30 o’clock, by the
Rector, Rev. _ Dr. Vanderwater. Mr.
Bennett and his bride are expected to
return to his home here on Saturday
night, where they will be serenaded
by the Georgetowu band, which Mr.
Bennett organized and of which he has
been the leader for many years. I

The GeorgetOWn band will call on
Major Miller on their way to seranade
their leader Saturday night and play a
few melodies in part payment of an-
other gift to the orginazation by the
generous Major. This time it takes
the form Of new uniform caps, of which
the band was much in need.
