MUST NOT RIDE WHEELS ON THE SIDEWALKS Batch of Boys and Girls Before the Magistrate on Sat- urday. -- If you ride a bicycle, keep off the sidewalks. The police have started @ crusade against bicyclists who take to the sidewalks instead of the road, and there is trouble brewing for offenders. The police have res ceived many complaints about bi- cyclists riding on the walks. It is a very dangerous practice, and very often the cause of accidents. In police court on Saturday morn- ing, nine boys and four ginls ap- peared before Magistrate Farrell, charged with riding bicycles on the sidewalks and all pleaded guilty with the exception of one. Magistrate Farrell drew attention to the complaints received about people riding on the walks, and stated that there was great danger of idents. He felt that the pub- Beity given the matter would tend to stop the trouble and dismissed the charge. He allowed the boys and girls to go with a warning express- ing the hope that they would not violate the by-law again. / Had Close Call. Brockville, May 5.--Three Brock- ville men, G. Perrin, F.

The annual conventioh of tne Dominion Postal Clerks' Association is to be held in Kingston during the week commencing June 25th. This organization is domdnion-wile and non-political with present lv quarters at Toronto. The city couu- cil has generously made a small grant towards the entertainment of the delegates who will come from coast to coast. The postal clerks as public ser- vants perform work that comes close to every one in the community. Every piece of mall matter, regmst~ ered or unregistered, that comes into or goes from Kingston :palsés | through their hands. They sort into local carriers' routes all mail matter which the latter take out anu deliver, and they also sort into pack- ages, bundaies and bags ail outgoing wall matter for places from the vii- lages of Barnietield and Portsmouth to the colonies of Gibraitar and Hong Kong. It would surprise the wmver- age citizen to know to what di Rb points matter is sent. It may iq" that mail matter is received Hui and despatched to every counery ie the International Postal Union, pind this means practiéally the civilized world. It goes without saying: that the postal clerk must know his 'geog- raphy and his postal rates and regl- lations. And thig knowledge is 'WO¥ assumed, but it is proven and tested by frequent deparumental examina tions. He is penalized by loss oa salary if he falls down in these re- spects. Over five thousand letters pess through the cancelling macuines wacu day and are rapidiy sorted, bundied and bagged for their respective ues tinations. Considering the number handled there are very few mis- sending errors, Any of these that may occur are reported and check- @l up against the clerk at fault, wao is called on for an explanation. mean considerable loss of time and annoyance, and every effort is made to prevent errors of this nature.

He must know the quickest route to "despatch , nail matter and to that*end must be familiar even with tHe train connec- tions. Many of the older citizens will remember when everyone called at the general delivery of the :ocas post office for his or her mail. Many will recall also the late John Kelly; who spent a lifetime nanding out mail to Kingstonians. Later wnere was one letter-carrier--tha i late Pat. Lindsay. ME The postal services have si a fully broadened out their activities until they now include most things of a governmental nature. "The postal clerk must make himself fam- illar with the manifold regulations of registration, money orders, poswusl notes, savings banks, special deliv- ery, annuities, parcel post, insur- ance, C.0.D. and radio licenses, The local staff of postal clerks, it may be said, is efficiently supervisva by Postmaster James Stewart, As- sistant Postmaster C, G. Shannon and two senior clerks. It is divided into three sub-staffs, or shifts--day, evening and allmight, and all-told consists of twenty-seven clerks wno cover the entire twenty-four hours. Great efforts will-be made on the part of the local branch to entertain the delegates at the forthcoming convention, and it is hqped t they will carry «way a good impres- sion of the old Limestone City, which, was known to 87d mentioned by Ben jamin Frankliv the first postmaster- general of the United States. .

T. Clay, of Yale, in which he says sufficient material has been found in the excavations to illustrata practically every page of the Old Testament and corroborates the Statements in biblical history. That the anclents had some de- cidedly modern ideas was evident when a slide was thrown on the screen showing a picture of a pay- iroll and revealing the information that as far back as the time of Moses, women were sometimes em- pioyed to do the work of men and that, in one particular case at least, a woman received a salary equal ta that paid to @ man for similar work. That there were city libraries in Abraham's time and that a promis- sory note was well known to the an- cient Babylonians, were other state- ents made. A picture of a promis- Bory note of anclent times, bearing erest at one hundred per cent. was shown. ts ------ Late Alexander Glassford.
