I had talks with some of the riders
.in the recent bicycle contest among
women in Madison Square garden re
garding the best dress for ladies to wear
when "biking." Very few of them fa
vored bloomers. Said one of the most
experienced of the riders: "Of course
the ideal garment for biking is bifur
cated and the tighter the fit, provided
it is comfortable, the better, but such
a garment cannot bo worn by a woman
'in public with propriety or modesty.
It can be, though, if she wears a coat
with skirts which reach just below her
knees when she is dismounted. Such
trousers, for trousers they are and
nothing else, should button just below
the knees, and the legs should be en
cased in leather leggings, in all but
summer weather when canvas leg
gings should be used. In such garb, a
woman has all the freedom of move
ment required for her lower limbs In
bicycling, and she doesn't feel that she
is attracting attention as a freak, as she
does when she is arrayed in bloomers."
This lady, who wis one of the really
haiulr.ome ones among the lot, further
said that she found bifurcated garments
of the kind so desirable for women's
wear in cold, snowj- and racing weather
that she wore them then, with but a
silk petticoat between them and her !
gown. She added: "My husband will
tell you that I am much healthier now
than I was when, T wore the orthodox
number of skirts, and besides," she add
ed, with a laugh, "my laundry bills are
much lighter."

stable which resulted in the death o:
young- Ilenry Rodriquez. There is stil
n good deal of mystery connected wit!
this affair, which cost not only the life
of Rodriquez, but also that of his young
sweetheart, who died of emotion upor
hearing of his sad end. The con versa
tion drifted to the difference betweer
the manner of conducting glove con
tests, or fights, nowadays, by recog
ni/ed athletic clubs and the old style
bare-knuckle fights during the so-callec
"palmy days of the ring.*' Barnej
Aaron was in the group, and during o
pause, I turned to him and said: "liar
ney, you've had lots of tough experi
ence in your time. Tell us of some oJ
the lough times you had going to some
of th? old fights." Thus abjured, Bar
ney took his cigar from between his
Jips and while its smoke exhaled in
rings, meditated a moment. Then let
ting his thoughts run back for manj!
years, he slowly began: "My son
(Barney always calls me his "son"
when we talk of the good old days),
I think about as tough a time as I ever
had going to a fight was the night we
left Pittsburgh to see Hilly Edwards
and Sam Collyer fight their last battle.
You were along. Suppose you tell
about it."
The tables had been turned on mc
by Harney, who was the hero of that
never-to-be-forgott m night, and in re
sponse to the wishes of the company
I told the story, first making Mr. Aaron
promise that lie would give me as good
a one in return. The rendezvous for
the Edwards-Collyer fight was Pitts
burgh, and the day before it occurred
there was gathered in that smoky city
"a swell mob" that could not be dupli
cated anywhere else in America. Prom
inent in it were some of the
mous criminals in America, though, of
course, they were not "wanted" just
then for their deeds. The "tip" for
the starting point was the levee on the
Monougnheia river side of "Ilard-
Bcrabble," which comprises the "point"
or extreme western portion of Pitts
burgh, where the Allegheny and the
Monongahela unite and form the Ohio
river. "Midnight" was the time desig
nated for starting, and on arriving
there T found that Ihe levee was being
repaired, and that its cobble-stone or
bowlder pavement had been ripped up
and piled in small h'llocks. The craft
engaged for t'.io voyagers was a sand
flat about 120 feet long, 20 feet wide
and four deep, and it was without deck
excepting about five feet at each end.
It was moored one end touching the
shore and other out stream. A
narrow gang plank extended from the
flat to the shore, and the ticket-takers
were John alias "Red" Leary and Tom
Allen, the St. Louis pugilist. The gang
plamc was so narrow that only one
person could walk on it at a time. Those
who had tickets gained access to the
flat without trouble. There were a
good many people who tried to "beat"
their way on board, but very few of
them succeeded. It was a cn.se of ticket,
the price, or overboard. At least 20
would-be spectators were knocked off
that plank into the water, which was
only knee-deep at the entrance end of
the flat, and many were the curses and
the threats of vengeance of those com
pelled to take involuntary foot-baths
and their sympathizers. By half-past
twelve o'clock the flut was so heavily
living-freighted that her gunnels at
the outer end were almost down to the
water's edge. Many of those on the
barge were so frightened that they
would have given twice the price of a
ticket to be permitted to go ashore,
but they could not get the chance. Just
then along came the tug which was to
tow us to the fighting ground. She
threw a line which was fastened to a
cleat, and then she backed away, pull
ing us from the shore. As she did so
the shore end of the flat, which had been
resting on the shore, sank down two or
three feet, birching everyone shore
ward a bit. We were packed so closely
together that we could not fall, or we
would. Then the mob of disappointed
"stay behinds" on shore made a rush
for the bowlder piles and began a ter
rible fusillade at us. For a full minute
it fairly rained cobble stones. Nearly
every man on the barge had a pistol,
and as quickly as they could be pulled
out, a rapid fire was begun shoreward.
At that time natural gas was not used
in Pittsburgh mills or furnaces. Times
were good, and the flickering flame*
from the tops of a hundred furnace
chimneys along the shore on the op
posite side of the river made, fitfully
and ruddily, half illumined the scene.
Many persons on the flat hud been hit
by the bowlders, mrd several of them
were badly hurt, one so severely that
he died the next day. Their groans
drew attention from the retreating
mob on shore.
j We were no sooner out of ot># danger,
however, before we were confronted
with another even more terrible. It was
midsummer and the upper seams in
.the sides of the Ant had dried apart
and weie leaky. Water was pouring in
■through the seams, and unless the boat
was lightened she would sink. Several
times the tug, a stern-wheel steamer
called the L. C. McCormick, attempted
to come alongside of us, but each time
so many tried to board her at once that
the barge was in imminent danger of
[being swamped. Among those who did
•get on the tug, however, were Barney
*Aaron and Lenrj\ The crowd on the
•barge regarded their getting on the
[boat as desertion, and hooted them
jvehemently. Then it was that Aaron
.'showed how easy it is for a man of
pluck and determination to conquer a
mob. He got the captain of tlie tug to
shove a gang plank over its bow and to
approach near enough to the barge to
let him jump hack on it. The. moment
that he bounded on it he exclaimed:
"Now, you damned cowards, what's
the matter with you? Harney Aaron's
[with you? Just siow your gab, keep
•your heads and when the tug comes
jalong again, jest let enough people
•come on board of her to lighten this
barge up a bit. She's as safe aa a
Cunarder and I'm going to stay on her
all night. She's a good deal cooler
than that hot old steamer, take my
word for it."
Barney's words soothed the crowd.
In a few moments the tug came along
side, and when a hundred or so of peo
ple got on the tug, the barge was so
lightened that her leaky seams were
above the water line and she was ns he
said, a good deal cooler than the steam
er. Some of Pittsburgh's first families
were represented in that crowd, but the
great mass of it were toughs of the
toughest kind. The Scripture tells us
that "the tender mercies of the wicked
are cruel." I can tell you that the light
est p"iay of such a mob is very trying
to people of ordinary sensibilities.

quarrel betwo en
two of the boys
and mado them
Bhake hands.
"Yes, sir; a troo,
genooine friend is a mighty slceerce
article, so keep all yo've got. Some
times a. friend ull help a man through
a tight place when all the money in
the world wudn't be no use."
"Thet's BO; thet's so," said Undo
Jerry, as be rocked slowly back and
forth on the vine-covered porch. "Ef
you want to know what reel friendship
Is, you want to watch the dumb cree
turs. It seems ez though the very fact
that they can't speak out their feelin's
makes 'em show 'em In their actions
plainer than folks ever can."
We all quieted down and curled our
bare legs under us, for the old man
spoke in that measured, reminiscent
tone wo had learned to recognize as
the precursor of a story. It should be
known that Uncle Jerry and the Vil
lage Philosopher were the chief be
guilers of the waking hours of nil the
boys in our quiet, western New York
village. The former's stories were
more interesting than those of the most
absorbing book, and the latter's moral
izing was of the eminently practical
kind which appeals even to the boyish
intellect.
When the eager listeners were all in
the circle about the two old men and
had relapsed into complete silence,
Uncle Jerry resumed.
"Love and friendship are sut'nly
cur'us things. Et seems ez though the
more unlike two | >lks, er two creeturs,
is, the more they think of each other.
You all know how affectionit a horse
era dog can be, even to the ugliest
mates er the meanest masters. Well,
it's jest the same among the wild ani
mals. I've seen a old bear lose her life
tryin' to save her cubs. I've seen deer
and even wildcats thct thought ez
much of each other ez any humans
ever did. Tliet's nature, uv course., but
sometimes you'll find two creeturs
thet you'd think ought to be born cne
emieß ez affectionit an' devoted ez the
sickest pair uv lovers you ever see.
The strangest case uv thct kind, an'
the one I shall never fcrgit, wuz the
cose uv a big Newfoundland dog an* an
old gray wolf thct stuck to each other
through all kinds uv hard luck till
death separated 'em; a good deul bet
ter'n some folks thet is reg'larly mar
ried an' pledged before the altar.
"Now some folks say that dogs an'
wolves is related, but everybody knows
thet they ain't gener'ly much love lost
at ween 'em. Howsumcver, this wuz a
true love affair. Mebbo you've heerd
tell uv it., cuz I know at the tame it wuz

the talk uv the hull country round. Ef
the newspapers uv them times lied bin
like they are now they wudn't a pi veil
them two eny rest till they wuz photo
graphed an* put in print, for they sure
ly looked like the most ill-mated couple
3 on ever see.'*
The old man hitched to a more com
fortable position, and we knew that he
was coming to the story at last.
"Et wuz jest a few years after the war
uv 'l2 when the Britishers burned most
uv Washington and all uv Buffalo, but
wuz licked out uv their boots by young
Commodore Terry and his American
sailor boys. Lots uv folks wuz comin*
to western New York, an' the wolves
an' bears wuz gettin' cleared out sum,
but they wuz still enough left to make
trouble fer the farmers' pigpens an*
sheep folds. The county officers wanted
to git rid uv all the varmints, quz they
thought et ud bring more settlers cf
they did, so they offered $25 fer every
wolf's pelt brought to the courthouse.
"Twenty-five dollars wuz a lot more
money then than it is now, an' all the
j'oung fellers got out their rifles an'
polished 'em up. Many a chilly win
ter's night hev I set under n haystack
an* wot£hed a sheej pen waitip' fer the
wolves to show up. In the first winter
I shot threo wolves, so that when
spring- corao I had $75 to jingle in my
pocket. I reely hadn't much to com
plain uv, but I wuzn't satisfied. They
wuz one old gray wolf I had tried my
best to git, but ot seemed ez though a

she hed robbed half the barnyards in
the country, but never got caught. She

lie had belonged to Jabez Ball, an' hed
eloped with the old wolf. The dog
never did any killin'. Ilis part uv tho
work wuz to go along, on' look over the
ground to see ef et wuz safe fer the old
girl to step in an* nab a lamb.
"The dog led a wild life, but he wuz

suthin' to eat. He cud a bin shot easy
enuff, but Jabez thought a better plan
*ud be to tie a bell on his neck so's he cud
be heard. He thought in that way we
cud keep track on the old wolf, an' get
a shot at her. But what do you s'posc
that old wolf did? She wuz too smart
to get caught in thet way. After tho
dog wuz belled she went around with
him some as ever, except that they never
passed a house together.
"On lots uv winter nights when the
snow wuz sparklin' with the cold, the
bell wud be heard comin' along tho
road. The men wud jump up and run to
the door, riflo in hand, but the dog wud
go trotlin' by alone. Next morning',

"ICight in front uv the house stood

an' held with a ketch, an' the rope from

The very latest fud in bureau ar
rangement is to have everything slight
und dainty as possible. The handsome,
square, cumbrous pin-cushion so long
in vogue, is now placed on the toilet
table in company with the pretty hand
kerchief cuse and glove-box. But the
up-to-date cushion for the bureau is al
most small enough to be placed within
my lady's work basket. It is long and
narrow, with u frill of silk all around
it, over which is gathered another frill
of delicate lace, and the tiny bows, with
which it is adorned, are mode of the

made of pink satin, and stuffed with
bran or sawdust until it was tight and
firm as if carved out of wood or ivory.
Over this was a cover of thin white lawn
or bolting-clotli, with a few small rose
buds embroidered in pink and light
green. The cushion part, when stuffed,
measured 7/ i inches in length, and not
quite three inches in width. The silk
frill, which was sewed around the edge,
was pinked in sharp points, and was
about 2/ a inches wide. The lace frill
was the same width, and the small bows
made of long, flat loops of daisy ribbon
were placed about the edges, as shown
in the drawing.
Another of these cushions was made
of blue satin, with forget-me-nots on
the white cover; and still another,
which was made of yellow silk, had but
tercups embroidered across the top.
Some are made eight-sided, like an
elongated octagon, and we give an il
lustration of one made in this style.
The pin tray to accompany these
cushions should be Dresden china or
delicate celluloid, and long and narrow
in shape. There is always something
new in burnt match receivers, but few
are so satisfactory as the diminutive
glass tumblers so long in use.

six inches above the top, where they

Out of stiff, white cardboard cut a
small circle, four inches in diameter,
and notch the edge. Cut an opening in
the center to fit the small glass, and
slip over, letting it rest upon the edges
of ribbon which form the holder. Now
gather a frill of silk and lace, similar
to the one described, about the pin
cushion, and fasten it above the circle of
cardboard, where it will flare out pret
tily, quite like a flower.
The fad for denim seems to outlast
all others, chiefly because it has proved
so useful and durable. Whole rooms are
furnished in denim—cushions, table
covers, portieres—are made of this ma

place of carpet. Now that it can be pro
