Taut Recognition.

Two young men of this city, salesmen in a dry goods store, hired bicycles and took a spin into the country. When they were perhaps ten mVes out they decided to have a race. One of them got far ahead of the other, and in dashing round a turn ran into a pile of stones. The wheel was demolished, and the rider found himself lying among the spokes. An aged woman who happened to be passing was met by the second rider. “My good woman,” said he, “have you seen a young man riding a bicycle on ahead?” “No,” said the woman; “but I saw a young man up the road a spell ago who was sittin’ on the ground mendin’ umbrella*. ” —Louisville Courier-Journal.
