. when he called a blind run of the club mem bers the wheehnen did nut respond generous how for only seven took the trip thus placing themselves in the absolute care of the captain who had promissda20 mile trip over good roads the captali led the party all the way and this tlnti then was no scorching by the ooufw lay up the bethlehem pike to mimtgoin cry square through che new pike ti ldnsdale after a brief stop in tha place the cyclists headed for n'ortl wales where they examined the nev electric light works and took a slmr rest the return trip was down ovc the bumneytown pike to ambler thos who entered were captain styer mr taylor john s ituclianan llarrvlly near win m houston v win am j m haywood the run was voted ai entire success and the new feature oik worthy oi repeating and deserving of i larger turnout the journey was made entirely by moonlight the most of tin way except in lansdale north wales and ambler the lights were out as tin moon shed light miflicient to see the road which was in fine condition during the whole trip tlie captain was liiglih complimented on the success of his firs club run last saturday afternoon a party o ambler cyclists and friends numbering in all just 16 made the run to doyles town for supper the ride up was i doubly hard one owing to the higl northeast wind and the heavy roads rim deep with dust captain styer ha made it an invitation run but half o the number were members of the amb ler wheehnen plenty of time was allowed for the trip up as cnlculatioi had been made for the interference o tlie wind plus the impetus given am energy exerted by rapidly sharpening appetites very good time was made however considering the number o ladies and the wind fi.45 o'clock saw the party being received by sir danie mclaughlin host of the fountail house at doylestown but he did no inform the cvclisteof tlie surprise lie ha for them in the dining room he wisely preferred that they should discover this by their own investiga tions promptly at 7 o'clock they were ushered into the the large dining room of this well-kept and elegantly appointed horei v<i b the captain then the supper was served s and such a repast ! the hard ride va3 forgotten the terrible struggle against wind and hills faded from memory the beeksteak the chicken the hot waflles the good coffee and tea occupied tht attention of the cyclists and the whir o the wheel gave place to the activity am splendid service of the waiters it was not long before that tir^d feeling hat worn away and all hands were at their best enjoying the repast which woulc have tempted an epicure after doinf ample justice at the table they finisher and adjourned to tlie parlor where after a few minutes of social intercourse it was proposed thev listen to somt music mr taylor and mre.j.s.bucbanat favored the party on the piano ant harry rynear performed on the violin and cornet a dance of an hour on tht piazza followed which was enjoyed bj the participants and witnessed by i large crowd of interested spectators fron the streets at 9.90 captain styer gnvt the order to mount and the party wheeled away leaving doylestown behind but taking with them the happy memories of a pleasant visit the beautiful light of the moon illuminated the way of the cyclists and the crispness of the air ac celerated the speed of the ridera after a delightfully easy ride ambler was reached in a very much shorter time than the first part of the trip was made raymond kile of wue bell member of the ambler wheehnen entered the one-third of a mile race ut tiogn last thursday afternoon jimmy michael lias been at it again last thursday he smashed the mile record covering the distance in i.'m or at the rate of speed of an ordinary ex press train last saturday afternoon before a ge crowd and having a heavy wind he succeeded in lowering the hour record from 82 miles and 448 yards made by stocks an englishman to 32 miles ti-")2 yards by ins runs he now holds all records from one-fourth of a mile up to the hour record many of which are world's records his per formances are wonderful and the end is not yet don't clean a bicycle on a long run unless you have plenty of time to remove the dust carefully und thoroughly very often if care be not exercised particles of dust and grit will be rubbed into the bearings and grind the cones to pieces the better plan is to allow the dirt and dust to accumulate until lioine is reached when the rider has the ma terials and t i ii it i to do an effective job for some time past the attention oi many physicians has been di'voted to the matter of proper adjustment of the l^'iit of a bioyole to the rider partiou if that rider be a child many phy us insist that the possibilities of de veloping hip trouble by the use of ma chines too large for growing boys and rirls are very great tin protest with which every sensible person will aglte is against a child using the wheel when the saddle is so far out of reach that the child can use the wheel only by stuiul ing on tint pedals the way to tit a bicy cle to a child is to have the wheel at first mimll enough for the saddle to he raised several times before the child outgrows the machine to buy » wheel on the principle that the child will grow to it is absolutely k>iik and is fraught with every danger to the child who is to use it the nut ciop is very large thia full th llnllir i»rltc from

thai ih public will pat ronize n road if it is worthy of it in the f;ill of i.k'.m a large expense was incurred in rounding up and re-stoning the drive and funds were borrowed for these purptses ; ol the total sum borrow ed only fooo remains to bo paid and during the past year iji.'ith whs paid out of earnings at the same time the road bed was greatly improved no dividend was paid though earned the manage ment deeming it best to continue the present policy of using all surplus in clearing off the floating debt and in the betterment of the road there will be no let-up now until this shall be the model drive of montgo 	 ry county and the stockholders will gladly relinquish their dividends until this result is reach ed progress is the watchword of the management of the batter drive monday

she said so much was being done for the child both by teacher and parent that tho child was in danger of being but the impress of the educator with its mind so clogged with theory that it had not the power of practical action in answer to the inquiry to a teacher how can we help the teacher she said by not finding fault witli our work before tho child or indeed before any one another im portant
