In an endeavor to rival the gentlemen who steal red-hot stoves, steam engines and the like, somebody hitched a team of horses to @ load of hay owned by J. H. Irk and the grassy food has not since been seen by the owner. ‘The deed was done late Saturday night. Irk, who buys*damaged hay. from commis- sion merchants and sells it, left several bales of hay on his wagon in an alley on Paulina street, near Lake street, intending to return Monday and attempt to dispose of it. : He poured his tale of woe into the ears of Sergeant Martin of the Lake street police station, but the sleuths have not yet set- tied on the correct trail. As an additional ,aid, looking to the recovery of the stuff, | about half the town. which is valued at $2, Mr. Irk inserted the following ‘ad’ in the Daily News: LOST OR STOLEN—DID ANY ONE SEE load of hay Sunday evening, vicinity Lake and Paulina sts.?_ Reward for valuable in- formation. Address C 128, Dally News. Several people had seen loads of hay, but investigation invariably showed that the owners or proper cus! had been in charge. 5 ——_+e-_____ Jersey Woman Dies Aged 103 Years. Mrs. Christine French, known at Moores- town, N. J. as Aunt Kitty, is dead. She was born August’, 1704. Her exact age was 103 years, three months and twelve days.

Bicyclists go to Europe in yearly increas- ing numbers. Probably this is the most satisfactory way for a party of young men who wish to travel at a minimum expense. Its use, however, is by no means confined to young men. Many ladies take their ma- chines with them and testify to the en- joyment of a bicycle trip. The greatest ob- jection is that one is so dependent upon the weather. It is an inexplicable fact that the bicyclist in a shower always thinks he is gettmg much wetter than if he were walking. Denmark has always treated the bicycle hospitably. No duty has ever been levied on it, and the rider is well treated by the public and at the hotels. Every dog barks at him, but he seems to do it as a matter of duty, for he rarety goes any. further. he eOuntry ‘has food’ roads, plenty of. day- light in summer and comfortable hotels in all large towns. If one can escape the fe- quent showers he will have a very pleasant trip. Sweden has more fine scenery and in some respects a more interesting people. But the distances are long and sometimes the country is monotonous. Norway is more mountainous and a trifle more show- ery. In both these countries the cyclist will have to deposit a small sum (about $8), which will be receipted for and re- turned upon his departure. Holland fur- nishes splendid riding, and enjoyable trips can be taken in all parts of Germany. Bel- gian roads are often paved for miles with unridable cobble stones. France has good roads and in the southern part eacellent weather in spring and fall. The peasants, unfortunately, have their shoes filled with heavy-headed nails. These drop out on the road, and, as they are always found with the “point punctured tires are not un- common. The French peasant is not in- clined to be more than civil to the cyclist. In these countries a bicycle accompanied by its owner can usually be taken in free of duty, but if it is exacted, he can reclaim it on leaving. Switzerland is too hilly to attract many riders. Austria and Italy re- quire the deposit of a heavy duty. The former country has excellent roads and an interesting trip can be planned in the Tyrol. In its southern portion the Dolomites offer a field not yet opened by the railroad. Italy is hot and dusty in summer, but this does not deter every one. I have had no experi- ence in Russia, but met a couple of Fin- Janders in Sweden last summer who in- formed me that bicyclists were numerous there, and it is probable that they do not meet with more trouble and restrictions than other travelers. The cyclists’ touring club has done much for tourists. Special privileges and prices are accorded to its members at many ho- tels, repair shops and custom houses. They have access to specially prepared road books. It.has a representative in many places in Europe. The touring club of France holds a similar position on the con- tinent. There are aiso local organizations sometimes covering a large territory, which it is advisable to join if cne intends to cycle there for some time. —__+2-_—__ Found His Sister After Thirty-Three Years. From the Kansas City Star. Dowan Young’s search for his slave sister, from whom he-was separated thirty-three years ago by Union men taking him away from Clay county and leaving her here, will prove successful. Susie Young, who, when they parted, was an eight-year-old girl, tives in Kansas City, at 623 Cottage Lane, and ske has written to Wheaton, fi, her brother's present home, telling him of her whereabouts. Susie Young, whose name since she mar- ried is Susie Reeves, read of her brother's inquiries for her in the Star. She is a washerwoman and domestic, working for various families here. After her work yes- terday she went to police headquarters and asked about Dowan’s letter. Inspector Halpin talked with her, and after a few moments’ conversation, both he and the woman felt sure she was Dowan’s sister. She was so anxidus to know for certain that she wanted to telegraph to Wheaton last night, but the inspector persuaded her that a letter would be better, so she sent him one, giving her history in detail. Susle, after her brothers were taken away remained, with Michael Arthur, on whose farm they all lived, except her mother, who had been sold in Alabama, and her father, who hanged himself. The Arthurs went back to Wyandotte, then to Nebraska and back to Wyandotte. She ran away from them and lived with “Ole Miss Moss.” Later she married Reeves, who died, leaving her two daughters to support. Although forty-one years old, Susie Young—she is known by both names—is spry and active, very straight and a good worker. She has a few rooms in Cottage Lane, where she and her daughters live, and they are kept clean and neat. The whole lane likes the family and rejoices with it over the reunion which seems so certain to come. — e080 Retired From the Ranks. From the ‘Cincinnati Enquirer.

Story was.oue pf the most notable figures in America® art and literature of the closing centur¥, and his written and sculptured works rértain as a monument seldom given by mai to himself or by pub- lic appreciation to“its creator. Mr. Story was of illustricus family, and distinguish- ed himself at an early age. His later life was spent largely afgrpad, but he lost none of his love for hts land, and he is as deeply regretted at home as though he had never left these shores. The volume now published is a/tribute to his genius, and embodies all the elements of a biogra- phy, being handsomely and fully filus- trated. The book brings out strikingly the personality of the sculptor-author, with whom the present biographer had a pleas- ant personal acquaintance during several years of his later life. LEAVES OF GRASS; Including Sandg at Seventy. Good-Bye, My Fancy, Old Age Echoes and “A Backward Glance Ofer Travel'd Roads. By Walt Whitman.” Boston: Suull, Maynard & 10. The world’s judgment on the Good Gray Poet will doubtless always be divided, one- half singing praises of his strength, his rugged courage and his command of lan- guage; the other half rejecting him for his indifference to poetic forms, his contempt for both literary-end moral conventional- ities and his freedom in dealing with deli- cate subjects. But the half that calls him “poet” will always rejoice over new and worthy editions of his works, such as the present, which is edited by Whitman's lit- erary executors, Richard Maurice Bucke, Thomas B. Harned and Horace L. Traubel. A portrait from a photograph taken in 1890 forms the frontispiece. The book is firely printed, and contains a valuable in- dex of first lines. A CAPITAL COUBTSHH lexander Black seventeen illus- tographs by the author. Ry Al Wi New Yerk: Charles Scribner's Sons. Washing- ton: Brentané’s. This story, like “Miss Jerry,” was writ- ten for monologue delivery, with stereopti- con illustration. Its publication in book form curtailed the list of pictures and ex- panded the text. It is a love story, set in New England and Washington scenes. It is not very much of a story. The romance is not very insistent, and the pictures have evidently distracted the writer, just as they unquestionably distract the reader at times. It evidently does not aim to Be classed as a ‘Washington novel.” THE WAY TO KEEP YOU By Dorothy Quig- ley, author of “Everybody's Fairy Godmother, &e. New York: ©. P. Dutton & Co. Wash- ington: Wm.

To do this one must exercise, study and love.” There is good advice in the little book, but the world has never lacked the best of advice on this subject. It is doubtful whether*the volume will re- sult in a readjustment of age limits, but if it teaches its obvious lesson to only a ee score it will have justified its publica- tion.
