the craft rose slowly and after ware
seemed to drop a long distance. Ir
addition to the headlight smaller lights

A fatal accident occurred at Kiowa.
O. T . April 17th, during the play of a
number of binall boys at the school-

tiieir property to a covered wagon in
the yard so as not to interfere with the
holding of school. Among their be-
lonifings was a Winchester, and at

and hid it under the school house.

1 believe that the happiest and most
prosperous people on earth live in
southwestern Oklahoma, said a man
from Roger Mills county to the Kansas
City Star's correspondent. Seven or
eight years ago nearly all of them
t were poor, and now the average wealth '
iv greater thai* in any other portion of
oklahoma. Their business is stock
raising, and that is the secret of their
I success. I know of numerous instances
where men bfcgan there with less than
S'JOO capital. They took up claims
w here there was plenty of water, and
t invested their money in calves. The
grass never fails, and cattle fatten
upon it Without corn. Only enough
land to produce supplies for families
was cultivated, and each spring the
yearling steers were sold and tlie mon-
ey used to buy heifer calves The
peopV would consider the building of
a railway there a great calamity.
They are living in primitive simplicity,
and you must know that there is no
discontent when I tell you that in all
my county 1 know of only three sore
heads.

of the American

words of wisdom

V 'V
. m
part of the article
reads as follows
'Many of the
evils charged to vi-
h ration would be
avoided if riders were more generally
Hilling to ride with their lire*- pumped
only to a moderate degree of hardness.
To ride habitually with a soft tire
shortens the life of the tire, but the
price of a pair of new tires, as occasion
may demand, would seem to be very
moderate compensation for the comfort
of the body and preservation of the
machine which follows the use of tires
not too bard, but just hard enough.
I.'ndoubtedly the total pleasures and
benefits of cycling would be greatly
enhanced if riders as a class were to
use tires somewhat larger than those
now in general use. But larger tires
would bring increased liability to punc
ture and ieakage and the accompany-
ing annoyance. Resiliency is dear to
the cyclist, but it is practically lost
when the tire is pumped to extreme
hardness. The tire manufacturer is
obliged to confront a complicated set
of possibilities. He must provide the
anti-vibratorv feature, and yet knows
that to do so with the idea of offering
the highest possible benefit to the rider
would hurt his business. If he advised
.that tires be only moderately pumped
many of them would come back accom-
panied by criticisms reflecting on their
durability. Competitors would take
advantage of the fact, and the result
would be disastrous. He is. therefore,
forced to advise riders to keep their
tires hard. The exigencies of business
demand that the tires be preserved
without special regard to the health of
the rider or the life of the machine. It
is gratifying to note, however, that the
average of intelligence with regard to
the constructive features of bicycles is
rapidly increasing among wheelmen."
Oaf More Hreatk.
A railroad bicycle has been placed
on the market by a Kalamazoo. Mich .
firm. The machine is constructed
throughout quite like an ordinary bi-
cycle. The wheels are. of course,
flanged and fitted with soft cushion
tires, one-third of an inch thick aud
five wide, which cause the wheels H
run noiselessly over the rails. One
advantage is that the rider can hear
approaching trains from either side.
There is no jar. and owing to the
smooth track surface very high gears
can be used. A good rider can average
a speed of thirty-five miles an hour on
a long run on this machine with ease.
A hub brake with which this wheel
is equipped makes such a high rate of
speed safe.
Few New Facet.
When Ed Bald was asked If he knew
of any new men who were entering the
racing field, he replied. "Only two or
three, and I think that there will be
only a few. You see, there are between
ninety and a hundred professionals in
this country who can ride well enough
to tackle the circuit. Sometimes as
many as forty or fifty of the men get
together at a meet, so what chance has
a new man against such a bunch?
There are probably a dozen amateurs
in the country who are good enough
to *in in the professional game, but
they have a walkover when they are.
and they would be foolish to change,
unles the Rac ing Board makes the sug-
gestion. I have given up all idea of
the European trip—at least until after
the National Circuit is over and the
American championship is decided. I
may not be the only pebble this year,
but there won't be any funny business
wheels in Central Park on Thursday
evening at-re merely fa r t>pe* of the
hicydiet. InMead of breaking out iff
to objurgation and hatred each one.be-
.tme dee ply Interested in the other and
wanted to knoa the makf of his wheel
and its • apacity to resistance in colli-
sion. The minor matter of personal
damage wa* then settled at the neares
drug store, a libation to the new ac-
quaintanceship was poured out in tho6c-
soft drinks which the wheel has done
so much to populcrize. mutual inquiries
were made as to their respective clubs
and the condition of various suburban
roads, and they who had met as strang-
ers parted as friends because each one
aas satirfied that his wheel was the
better. This is a striking illustration
of the civilizing and humanizing influ-
ence of the bicycle, but it is something
which to all wheelmen is mere com-
monplace. Politeness and good nature
are merely two in a long catalogue of
benefits, its cheerful influences know
no limit to their range. It has multi-
plied courtships and abolished elope-
ments. and while it has encouraged
matrimony it has diminished divorces.
The melancholy wheelman is wholly
unknown, and it is positively asserted
that no wheelman has ever committed
suicide voluntarily. When one reflects
that the bicycle is. so to speak, still an
infant industry, the mind is lost in con-
jecture as to the future of its influence
on the human race.

not hampered or annoyed by waiting
for repairs to be made.
I, It Beneficial?
In discussing the "Is it healthy?'
question as applied to cycling, a veter-'
| an says: "My experience is extensive.
It embraces close on eighteen years of
active cycling, during which period I
| have covered nearly 100,000 miles,most-
ly in company. Road racing, pacing
and touring were all comprised in this
milage, and of the people with whom I
was brought in contact during that
I period I can record only one case in
which cycling did not prove beneficial
| and that was the case of over-exertion
on the part of a weak rider who had
lieen frequently warned. There is not
: one individual in every 100.000 for
whom cycling is not good, but there are
mnny to whom excess is likely to
prove dangerous. Above all, severe cy-
cling when in an unfit condition is
j risky. The person who gains the
greatest possible benefit from the pas-
| time is the one who cycles regularly
and consistently. Those who indulge
I only in an occasional ride should be
exceedingly cautious, and any man who
suffers fron. exhaustion or insomnia
or who can not eat after riding mav _b«
sure that he has done too much."
JAAJ5 EDEN.
about ttiy riding.-' Concerning the
Jaap Eden challenge he said: "I will
not pay any attention to Eden's chal-
lenge. Yhe challenge originated with
me, and if Eden wants to race me all
th Hi he has to do is to come here and
accept my challenge. I meant business
when I issued It, and it will still hold
good if he cnre-< to come over here
fter some of tnv money."
The CI.tilling Wheel.

It Is the concurrent testimony of the
dally news reports that whenever two
vehicles come Into colllsloh on Hroad-
way, two opposing umbrellas collide
on Park Row, there is a certain amount
of friction engendered, sometimes giv-
ing rise to bad language and even to
lawsuits. But how different is the re-
sult when bicycle collides with bjretele!

R< i urd breaking camps will not be
the fashion this year, and on this point j
a follower ot the game says: "Some
of the crack riders of the country have
arrived at the conclusion that record
breaking i not, in the long run, very
pro.'itahle. As a result, some of the
more prominent speedmen have decid-
ed to stiik closely to the racing game,
and will lie seen in all the circuit
events during 1S97. Little Michael,
Johnson, Hald. Cooper. Riser, Kimble,
Gardiner and others will help form
the circuit crowd this season, and this
talent should make things decidedly
inteiestln;:. Some new riders will lit
,'ound who will win a share of the glory
and money.''
