rue Story of the Way He Earned It
By A. S.VTTI2RTHWAITE
Johnny Barker's father was opposed to bi
cycles. Johnny lived out in the country on
a big dairy farm and longed very much to
poiscss a "bike , " but his father had been so
annoyed by bad city boys riding out to his
place , stealing his watermelons ana robbing
Oils orchard that ho had conceived a bitter
dlsllko for wheels and wheelmen in general.
'All ' Johnny's pleadings had utterly failed to
overcome hl father's prejudice.
Ono day Johnny's sick city cousin came out
to the farm on a long visit for the benefit
of his health and brought hltf bicycle with
hlnii Johnny was delighted and Immediately
took advantage of the long-sought oppor
tunity to learn to ride. As the weeks went by
lila cousin's health Improved very slowly , and
thus Johnny got a chance to ride the wheel
a great deal hlmaclf , nnd In a short time be
came qulto proficient In Its use , But finally
Ills uncle came to take his cousin homo nnd
Johnny felt very blue when he considered
that It would bo a long time before ho would
again have the opportunity to engage In the
exhilarating pastime ,
Thu morning his cousin was to go home
Johnny got up bright and early so a to take
KAUM HANDS FIND TUB I'AUIS
OIUSIiN.
jprjo.oiiglaat ! ride , Hurrying out to the barn
to turn the cattle out to pasture , he found
Ills father there before him In a very angry
frame of mind ; and no wonder , for some
enemy had broken Into the stable and barn
during the night and wrecked the wagon ,
'
five sets of 'harness , a buggy and everything
elao he could get hlfi malicious hands onto.
Further examination revealed the fact that
three of the best cows on the place , valued
ttt $1$0 apiece , were dying from poison , and
parls green | H great quantities was found In
the iimngeie mixed with bran.
Well , Johnny's father finally managed to
harness up the team and started for the city
AVlth the milk. Ho had strong suspicions as
to who bad committed the outrage , and de
termined to get B warrant out while In the
city ,
Some time fter ht father had left , and
while Jolinny waa preparing to take hla ride ,
those employed about the dairy began to
clcsn tha empty cam , as was cunlomary each
morning. On taking off the strainer * they
were honortrlckcn to find paria green bo-
amlh. At once the awful truth flashed
through their minds thu milk had been pol-
poned. All of the customer * we e In deadly
peril and must be warned at once. Perhaps
some were already dead. JJut Uow to warn
them there was the rub. There wasn't an
other horse on the place , and every minute
was precious. ' Jt.4 .1
It was wiille the household was In thin
terror-stricken condition that Johnny entered
to get his trouser guards. Now Johnny was
only 11 years old , but he fully realized the
tcirlble situation and alrnist before the folka
knew what he was about ho had run from the
house , mounted the wheel and was flylns
down the raid In the direction of the city.
Faster , faster he loilo , up hill and down ,
over the level stretches and through the
f.aud , just as bird and fust as his sturdy
little legs could push the pedals , and with
ever one thought uppermost in his mind
to reach his father before ho had served a
slnglu customer.
Jolinny had often been orer the route with
Barker , sr. , so he knew just which customer
would lo ) served first and rode Into the city
by the street that would take him there the
quickest.
How the pcc < ilo pausea on their way to
work that morning to see the hatlcss little
chap pound madly over the rough cobble-
ttoncs ! But Johnny saw none of their amaze
ment , did not even see the big policeman
who shouted to him to stop a mist swam
before his eyes and his heart beat so loud he
could hear nothing elso. With his eyes glued
to the front wheel ho tore fiercely around the
corners , regardless of the danger he exposed
hlinaolf to by collision.
The sweat poured from every portion of
his small anatomy and his face was red an
flannel as ha wildly rode Into the street
where lived the first customer to be served.
At breakneck speed he tore up that narrow
thoroughfare and almost shouted aloud with
Joy , exhausted aa ho was , when he saw his
father's wagcn standing In front of the house.
The customer "was about to take the milk
In tbo house when Johnny dashed up anil
half fell , half staggered off the wheel.
After It was all over and Johnny had re
covered from his fearful strain the first
woids he said were theses "Say , yapa , I'd
been too late If she hadn't been n good one
and geared to soventy-two , and 0 , t > op , It's a
dandy , and I'd | lke to have one lllio It. Can't
I , pop ? "
AH you may suppose Baiker , ir , , came to
the conelualcti that Johnny had well earned
a bicycle , and It wasn't many days before
ho had one a nice , new up-to-date racer , and
Iilfl rather wau one day. heard to proudly re
mark that his Johnny was the best rider In
all the coutnry 'round. If I were to give
Johnny's real name some of you boys and
girls would be surprised , for today ho Is one
of the best known Icag distance riders In
America.

and occupying a whole eras * seat , in which
case nobody -disputes their right ; 'but ' here
was something the like of which I had never
seen before , and which made even the sober'
minded laugh ,
"To women who had with them a small
boy , i don't know how old , but I guess about
4 , boarded a train on the Sixth avenue road.
There ar * one&ch elde of these cars four
cross seats , In coupjes. facing , each scat
being for two persona. The rest of the seats
In the car are placed along against the sides
between the cross seats and the door , so
there is n wide space between the side seats
and a short narrow aisle > u the middle of
the car between , the ends of the cross seats.
These two women happened to get tbo rear
crow seat on the rlghtlxtnd side , the small
boy &at with them.
"He was a tremendously sprightly little
chap , and he couldn't sit still a minute. He
was out in the r.irrow aisle between the '
cress seats before the train started , and from
there ho discovered a little girl , aged about
3 , who was Mttlng with her mother In the ,
front crews scat on the same side of the car. |
When he spied her he darted back Into his ,
own section and then put out again , and
looked around the" end of the seats aheaft at i
her , and In a maute ! they were playing
peekaboo and having the greatest time you
ever heard of.
"Ho would run back and then out again
and look around at her , and she would run
out and look around at him ; an ! sometimes
in their eagerness they wouldn't wait , hut
would both rush out at the same time and
meet ID the aisle , and then they would
shriek with laughter and run back and hide
again.
"There waa a very tall rran with a gray
beard sitting In the front crcns seat on the
IcU. Ho got r/ut at ono of the stations , golag
out by the rear door of the car , and KO walkIng -
Ing down the narrow little aisle between the
cross seats. Just as he started the little chap
started out to scare the little girl. He dldn t
pay any attention to the tall man with th * ,
gray .beard , he didn't Know anything about
him ; he didn't realize hl presence any more
than If ho'd been In Kamschatka ; bo ran
Into ono of his legs , but that didn't make
any difference , ho gave Jt no more thoMght
than If ho'd run into a tree , playing In the
woods , , .
"Was the tall man Irritated at betag run
Into In this manner ? Why , bless our hearts ,
ho walked down the ear with a smile pn his

floor or the touch of a feather being sunicient
to detonate It. In small quantities of a
grain or less such explosions , while very
loud and even terrifying to the tlnvld , nre
entirely harmless.
The writer has exploded a few grains of
the powder on his lace without discomfort.
To use the powder mix It with just enough
water to hold It In suspension and pour
the liquid thus laden with powder over the
place where you wish It to explode.
When the powder is dry the events will
fall over each ot-icr In their haste to eventu-
ute. The brown powder Is almost Imper
ceptible anl cannot be distinguished from
grains of dirt or dust , and the uninformed
unfortunate who disturbs It by a hair's
breadth will bo greeted with a loud explo
sion , of which ho tan detect nehfter the
origin nor any appreciable result other than
the Jar to his nervous system , for beyond
Its disappearance en exploding the powder
leaves no trace.
The following experience of the writer will
Illustrate better than any description just
what the ponder will do. A quantity was
prepared , and , laboring under the Impression
that It was sufficient protection to have the
powder merely damp , the writer was mold-
tj
THE CUSTOMER WAS ABOUT TO T AKR THE MILK INTO THE HOUSE ,
Ing It Into a pellet , when a small portion of
It exploded , scattering the rest In all direc
tions , and , as It subsequently proved , load
ing the room tnorcieffectually than could'tbe
most IngenJous practical Joker. Any one
entering the placotin the course of half an
hour was sure to explode some of the powder.
If bo stepped beau-lljr on the floor , picked
up a book on Uio stable , opened a cloeet ,
drew a curtain , heorwas sure to encounter
myaterlous explosions on every hand , Tbo
writer was enjoying the fun , and was en.-
tlrely unsuspected until ho happened to pass
his fingers through bis hair , when a series
of loud , crackling reports drew the attention
of every one to him.
Complicity was at once cha god and evasion
was Impossible , for the charges were further
verified by the fact that the writer's clothes
were pregnant with the penetrating powder
and It began to explode at every turn be
made. It wasbeveral days before the powder
VOLB all exploded.
There Is besides a lesson to be learned from
the peculiar properties of this compound.
U Js composed , ax Us name IniplUa , of
nitrogen and Iodine. Nitrogen Is a most
profuse element In nature. It 13 very inert.
It refuseH utterly Jo combine with some
elements and very reluctantly enters lntoj
compounds with others ,
Tbe nitrogen Iodine forms an excellent ex
ample of the latter case. So loosely Is the
nitrogen combined with lodlno that the
slightest Jar will separate them with ex-
plonlvo violence.
In organic chemistry , where nitrogen en
ters largely Into animal and vegetable com
pounds , the structure- such compounds Is
maintained by the continuous renewal In
volved in animal and vegetable life. When
life ceases the altrogen at once begins to
free Itself and rapidly promotes decay.

A good story Is told by the Jewish Messen
ger of a number of boys who were playing
one day In front of an Episcopal church.
The rector suddenly came out of his paison-
age and told tha lie > s to be quiet In front of
the Lord's house. "That Is all right , mister , "
said the boys. "Tho Lord Is not hero today ,
lie Is down the street at the Jewish syna
gogue , "
On a signboard In front of a clyo shop In
Chllllcothe , 111 , , Is the Inscription "Satin
dyed here. " A small boy who sow it for the
llrst tlmo went homo and Joyfully told his
mother that the dovll was dead.
A boy had been up for an examination In
scripture , had failed utterly , and the rela
tions between him and the examiner had be-
coinu somewhat strained , The latter asked
him If there were any text In the whole bible
ha could quote , Ho pondered and then re
peated ; " .And Judas went out and hanged
himself. "
"Is there any other verse you know In the
bible ? " the examiner asked.
"Yes. 'Ho thou and do likewise. ' "

When mamma was a Igirl slic came to
Omaha on big , lumbering stage coach , uud
the best part of the Journey , according to
her Ideas , was when it grew BO coltl they
wrapped | a big buffalo robe around her and
brother anl some man gave her some nice
red applca , which they ate under the robe ,
playing It was u tent.
At Council Bluffs they stopped nil night ,
and the .next . day crossed , the MlEsouil river
In e. ferry boat , no railroads at Uat tlmo
running west of Denlcon , la.
One morning grandma sent mammn for
nvllk , and as she was turning the corner
she met three Indians , all painted. She
stopped long enough to throw her pall of
milk toward them and then ran back to
nbcro she had bought the milk , and running
Into the bed room , got as far under the
bed as she could squeeze. It look all ( be
persuiislon of which grandma was able to
get ihor out , as she thought she might sec
the Indians again. But she soon grew ac
customed to them and said you would look
up and tec an Indian staring In the win
dow , and one sick squaw came every day
for her breakfast -where the HlffH school
stands now. The old capltol building then
stooj there unj they had a great celebration
the day they finished the Union Pacific rail
road. They had a parade , not as flue as the
AK-Sar-Ben , but enjoyed as well.
Grandpa was out working on the raid
which they wcro building west from Omaha
when word came that a band of Indians had
surprised and scalped the gang of workmen.
Mamma was running down the street crying
when a man mot her , ind said : "Lizzie , etop
your crying , Your father Is not hurt. "
Ono day there was a fire up town and
minima followed the crowd. It was near
Latoy's bakery , on Twelfth and Douglas.
Next door was a candy factory , which took
mmnma's eye to Mich an extent that she
stood for half an hour looking In tha win
dow. Grandpa was across the street , and
was very much surprised to see his llltlo
daughter way up town and made her go
down In the cellar to Impress on < hcr mind
she must not follow the crowd any more.
At that time the depot was down In the
shop yards , and It wis a treat to KO ( town
and tee Uic Mormons , who were going west
at that time. Once the tiiop yard was full
of water and they walked on planks all
through tha yard.
The school mamma went to was tailed the
Jefferson Square school ; afterward It was
moved to Cuba street and known aa the Cass
Street school. Her teacher was I'rof. Hutchi-
eon. She remembers him well , as ho used
to punish his pupils by gently pulling their
notes , After the school was moved the
circus tents were pitched on Jefferson square
and It was a great day wheti the circus came
to town.
The boys and girls used to take long walks
out to where Hurt street IB now , Tlicru was
a largo creek and they would catch craw/lull /
and roast them In a flro and eat them. Ono
day mamma was In wading and a leech
fastened on her heel , which put an etui to
her wading. It was a great treat for the
boyg and girls to take their dinners and go
out near Sulphur springs to pick Blraw-
borrles and gather wild flowers. They never
tnougnt of irampfl , wncn mamma weni irom
the Cass Street school over to the Davenport
