Marketing on a Bicycle.

In a recent brief story for boys the hero, a bright and energetic lad, earns money for an urgent need by making bicycle trips to a neighboring town three times a week to execute shopping orders for the women of the town. Why is not the idea a capital suggestion to other boys, or younjj women of some cleverness, who live tn suburban towns ? Marketing for others has proved successful in some places; why should not shopping! Matching silk for needle work, samples of dress goods, and buying underwear and fall hats for the children, many things that the busy woman has no time for or takes no delight in, she would be very glad to intrust to one who had good taste and is a cautious buyer. It would save her the delays of shopping by post if some one would come to her door a certain number of times a week for her commissions in such affairs.—[New York Post.
