It is apparently settled that Colonel Frost will receive the Republican nomi- nation for Representative from this end of the town. He is the logical candi- date, as nearly everyone believes that he honestly received a majority of the 'votes cast at the caucus two 'years agp and a blunder was made in not rectify- ing the error then. However, it is never too late to mend, in the matter of doing justice. The Philharmonic bagpipers met at the Old Well Hotel last night'and in- itiated four new members into the order. The impressive services were conducted by the Chief Bagpiper sur- rounded by his worthy serfs. After work speeches were made, and recita- tions‘ given.

On a bit of paper in his pock- etbook was written, “I am neitherl crazy nor drunk,” and on the back of an empty cigarette case, "Some people will thinkIam alcoward, but I can’t. help that.” He was about 22 years old. . . 09 AN ENTHUSIAST.

A kerosene bicycle certainly has its faults, and at present the price is un- satisfactory; but I had sport enough with mine the first afternoon I took the road to balance the account. It was the first one seen in that part of the country, and as the young fel- lows call it “the lazy man’s wheel,” I told none of them about my purchase. Next day, in the afternoon, I filled the little tank with oil, lighted the “igni- tion lamp,” and set of! at about4 o’clock for a. trial trip. On that hot summer evening there was a certain indolent pleasure and comfort in sitting back and allowing the little kerosene engine to furnish the motive power, while I steered. The contrivance worked fairly well. Of course there was a little odor, but not more than comes from a. kerosene lan- tern; and it did not pufl loud enough to frighten horses. After about ten miles, southbound, I made a call on an acquaintance, and then rode back. It had grown quite dark along the unlighted country high- way when I drew near the village where I live, but as I was in no haste, I shut the oil off to about the least degree of speed possible, and was jogging slowly forward, when toot, toot, toot went a mellow little bugle behind, and a. fellow bicyclist trundled up abreast of me on the other side of the road. It was too dark for me to recognize him, even if he had been an acquaint- ance and not an entire stranger. He said “Good evening,” and passed me rapidly, for he was evidentlya “scorch- er,” who liked to show speed. ' "Good evening,” I replied, and let on a. little more oil; for no one enjoys being left behind in a. summary man- ner. My new machine quickened, and I hung on his quarter. Observing this, he also quickened, and I let on a. little more oil, keeping close in his rear. My machine now pufied audibly, and I was aware that my. fellow traveler turned his head in an'etfort to scrutin- ize me more closely. It was quite dark, however, and apparently he concluded that I was doipg the puffing and exert- ing myself injudiciously to race him. “Your wind seems a little sprung, my friend,” he remarked pleasantly. "I do have the phthisic slightly, in hayfever time,” I replied, moving up abreast of him, and even passing him a little. Thereupon he put up his re cing hump! It was to be a race, I saw. So, not to be outdone in good form, I put up a hump, too, and also opened up the feed pipe of my kerosene works. In consequence I appeared to puff terribly; but by this time the other fel- low was doing a good deal of puffing himself, for we had come to a long stretch of ascending ground where the road was decidedly heavy. I maintained my hump and went up the hill in great shape; and I will do my rival the 'justice to say that he fol- lowed my lead in good style. His pride was evidently touched, and he was ex- erting himself to the utmost. Iled him by an easy twenty yards, however, and I knew that he must be suflering. Human muscle cannot com- pete properly, on a. long, hard hill, With steam or kerosene. He stuck to the race pluckily, however, thinking that a wind-sprung man must needs collapse ere long, or else, perhaps, that he could yet come in on the down—hill stretch beyond. The village lay on the other side of the hill, and, emerging from the shad- ows of a pine grove, we passed the cemetery and glided swiftly into the main street, under the bright glare of an are light. I now slowed, suddenly, preparatory to turning into the cross street where I live, and my friend of the uphill race glided alongside. “For a hay fever man you are a good —” he began to say, but stopped short; for now for the first time he got a. good view of my wheel, and saw that my feet were on the rests. Then many impetu- ous words, low but emphatic, burst from his lips. “Yes, hay fever is very disagreeable, but is not dangerous to life,” I said. “Good-night.” The muttered responses Of my new road acquaintance I will not repeat. The Mountaineer”: Bear Team. “I was driving along the road in the mountains of North Carolina, a. short time ago,” said P. B. Mayfield, a man of St. Louis, “when I heard a wagon com— ing around a bend in the road. My horses shied, then began to tremble, be- ing evidently in the most abject terror. I could not make them move a foot, and when the approaching team came into sight I saw the reason, and, getting out of my buggy, succeeded in quieting the horses, so as to allow the strange team room to pass, the driver of the "brutes calling to me: “ ‘They won’t hurt nothin’, stranger; don’t be skeared.’ ' "He was driving a team of full grown black bears, and they were mak- ing very good time, They were hitch- ed to a wagon loaded with logs. The upper part of the wagon was like any other, but the wheels were small and heavy, evidently built by the Ideal blacksmith. The bears paid no atten- tion to me or my team and trotted along, drawing their load seemingly gghout eifort.”—-Washingten,Evening .. 3.4 . ONO—CH l LDS’ COAT. JOHN T.
