Bicycle Bales.
Now that there are many wheels,
accidents are liable to occur unless all
who ride observe the common rules of
the road. Always keep to the right,
and one very fertile seource of acci-
dents may be avoided. Always slow
up when you meet a wheel for the
other fellow may be idiot, and turn
to the left; don't scorch in town, it's
unsafe and ungentlemanly. Always
treat pedestrians with respect—even if
they don't reciprocate. Give horses
and carriages the right of way usually;
you have as much right ou the road as
they, but drivers don't appear to think
so, and you might better waive your
right than smash your wheel and per-
haps your head.

novel but it can also be commended
for the lessons that are to be learned

such a service would be most instruc-

touching were its parts, and many
whose tender emotions were moved by
the realistic scenes, portrayed by this
clever Company, could be seen now
and again slyly wiping away a tear.
Tuesday evening "The Exile of Erin
