THE TOUR OF THE TOWN
The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year.
The moths in your old overt o it.
And winter’s nearly here.
And it’s time now to economize
For the price of Christmas cheer.
And learn to lie as yon lied of old.
When yon had nothing else to do.
Of the high old t ’me yon didn’t have
In the summer you’ve lived through.
A leading bicyclist thinks six miles
an hour should be the limit of speed al­
lowed by law, then the fast ones will
strike about a ten-mile gate; if the
limit is made ten, then they will go at
about fifteen, which is too fast. He
thinks also that bicycles in cities should
be made to strike a continuous bell or
gong at each revolution of the wheel.
He says sleighs are compelled to carry
bells to give warning of their approach,
yet no sleigh proceeds as noiselessly as a
bicycle, nor can it wander over so much
of the high way in so short a time. He
says he Lwould carry such a bell, but
does not want to bear the jeers of his
fellow riders.

The process of registration is perfectly
familiar to every citizen of the State
w ho has ever voted, but this year a new
feature is to be introduced. As an ad­
ditional precaution to secure an honest
ballot, a law was passed last winter re­
quiring the inspectors to make note of
the personal characteristics of citizens
presenting themselves for registration.
Registration will therefore occupy a
little longer time than here to fore; I hence
the necessity is greater of taking the
earliest opportunity to attend toJSthis
important matter. The first day for
regietration is to-day, and though there
will be three other days it is not wise to
postpone this duty.
There seems to be an epidemic resem­
bling the grip, making its annual visit
among us again. Quite a number have
had a call.
The Tourist learns that|fcheV^bicycIe*?is
doing something for lady riders in this
city and elsewhere which all the doctors
and reformers in the world have not
been able to accomplish—it is abolishing
the corset. In Paris, which is the ac­
knowledged leader in all styles,a woman
on the bicycle in a regular Jjslreet gown
with a stiff tight corset beneath is looked
upon as a monstrosity. The fashionable
modistes are firm in regard to this.
“No,” they say, “ we cannot answer for
your safety if you persist inj^riding the
wheel in a corset. You need every
muscle in your body free, otherwise you
become ridiculous. A cincture just
wide enough to support the knicker­
bockers is all that is allowable. The
cycling costume should be so light that
it is hardly noticeable except for the
warmth.”

A Turfman’s Tale.
A New Jerseyman told me a good
story the other day on one of our fore­
most turfmen, a man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that of
any other connected with racing in
America. A good many years ago this
turfman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with a trainload of mustangs from the
plains of Texas. He knew nothing of
the laws of the state nor of the ordi­
nances of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do it was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would be
his own auctioneer. The sale started out
well. Fair prices were realized. Sud­
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded a view of our friend’s
license.
“ License?” he said amazed. “ What
license? I haven’t any license of any
kind.’’
“ Well, you can’t sell horses in this
city without a license. You’ll have to
come along. No monkey business with
us.”
Of course he went along, hut he was
lucky enough to find at court a friend (a
lawyer), who went bail for him in the
sum of $50. Then the lawyer said;
“ A license costs $250. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out. Give
me $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you are $200 ahead of the game.”
It was done accordingly. The turf­
man and his friend met in the St. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.

A barber’s shop is sometimes a trying

people gossip. The barber, especially if
he has a little shop and is alone, must
