 BaSSetVS SCt-ap Boot< SCRAPS OF HISTORY, FACT AND HUMOR OFFICIAL ORGAN LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEELMEN Entered as Second-Class Matter, March 10, 1904, at the Post Office at Boston, Mass., under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Vol. 5. No. 4 JUNE, 1907 5 Cents. WHEN "HEAVEN TRIES THE EARTH IF IT BE IN TUNE." "It is the month of June, the month of leaves and roses, when pleasant sights salute the eyes, and pleasant scents the noses." Month when the wheelman gladly rides, and bloom profuse the blushing brides. Month when the sweet girl graduate is born; month when we shave the grassy lawn. AustraHa holds an odd record. For nearly a thou- sand miles along her south coast not a single stream reaches the sea. Vessels drawing 14 feet of water can sail from the Atlantic to the head of Lake Superior, a distance of fully 2,000 miles. Among the season's heralds there is one that al- ways cheers, for we know we're nearing summer when the first straw hat appears.
