Similar devices will appear on many or next

braking of the wheel Is brought about by

"rlday morning , rclattn the New York

In another minute the girl a-wheol hove
a flight and brought up to the curbstone

"Aro jou ready , Anna ? " queried Jack.
"Yes , or I wouldn't be here , would I ? "
Then Jack took hold of the wheel and
rundled It over toward the city bill , while
ho girl In the short skirts followed with
his companion At the city hall the latter
assumed command He called Joe , the boot
black , to guard the wheel , and then led
ho others Into the marriage "bureau. Alder ,

Cunningham , 2S jears o'd. It took Alder-
nan Wund exactly sixty-seven seconds to

and then the party left. Behind this clt >

hours to pedal the fortj--nve railed. She
went to a friend's , where she spent the

John Cunningham Is the family coichman
of John H Downcj , the millionaire builder
of the Astor estates , who has a countrj
place at New Canaan. When the famll >
left town last May Cunningham was taken
along Mrs Downey needed a maid , and the
little Connecticut town was hunted over
nlth the result that Anna Lundawall WES
secured for the place
Anna and Jack fell In love and a month
ago , when the Downcys decided to return
to town , they had agreed upon a plan of
future domestic bliss. There were only two
difficulties ta the way Jack hates bicycles
llko all true horsemen , while Anna loves
them. Jack is a Catholic and Acaa a
Protestant. Anna agreed to glvo up her
wheel on the day of her wedding , and Jack
promised not to ask her to change her reli
gious faith. Thus the two obstacles were
smoothed away Hut Anna decided to bid
adtcu to her wheel by riding every Inch of
the way from New Canaan

When It WIM found that the act of lifting the

A dispatch from Amsterdam 6a5-3 that
while the joucg queen. Wllnelmlna was with
her mother recently In Vienna she became
passlcmtely fond of blc ) cling , and 'brough'
home a splendid machine.
She cnjojed the sport for a time In there

seized with harrowing scruples a < * to whether
It was In accordance with propriety for the
queen to rldo a wheel , She submitted her
doubts to the queen , who laughed at the
Idea and declined to relinquish her wheel
The matter was therefore referred to the
Privy Council , which was specially sum
moned to consider It. The council dellb
erated the question \ery carefully and ex
haustlvely , and finally concluded that such
recreation wan Incompatible with tbo dignity
or the throne.
It n'.ffo based Its objection to the queen's
riding on the risk ahe ran of being Injured
The council concluded to Implore her sra
clous majesty not to expose her preclou.

obeyed , and accepted a gift of a Shetlam
pony , on which she sought solace.

Lincoln members of the Nebraska division ,
League of American Wheelmen , seem to have
a grievance against Omaha and are airing It
In a. cycle paper published In that city. Thej
allege that In the recent League of American
Wheelmen , state election their candidates for
office were knirod. as the > ore pleased to
term It , and that Omaha was resoonslble for
It. But to one on the Inside of the matter
It Is apparent that no one but themselves are
responsible for the defeat of their candidates.
In the first place they nominated for the
office of secretary-treasurer a joiag man who
Is practically unknown In Nebraska wheeling
circles and who has never done anything for
the division that would merit his bchig
elected to the position over such a well
Known and popular wbeeliran as Dr. r. C.
Allen of Beatrice , who has been working for i
[ ho Interests of the division for the last
five jcars. Then again Lincoln can hardly
ooect Omaha members to support Its candi
dates after the way it treated Omaha in the
fight for the state meet of 1S95 If that chy
expects to have the state officers chosen from
among Its members , let thTn increase the
membership enough to elect them , as Omaha I
; < is done. As to Mr Mllmine , Lincoln's can
didate for representative { o the recent elec-
lon , ho was defeated bj' onlj' three votes , and
; hat was not the fault of Omaha membero ,
nit due to the fact that his opponents ,
Messrs. Finch of Grand Island and Hanscn
of Kearney are two of the most papular
wheelmen In the state.
Colonel Harry Hartry of the Tojrht
Wheelmen has organized n tug-of-war team
and announces that he stznds rtadj to ac
cept the challenge UsucJ by the Turner
Wheel club to pull any team In Otaaha. He
hopes to have the match arranged to take
place before Christmas at Turner hall , and
t is his Idea to charge a small admission ana'
to use the proceeds for a grand smoker In
which all wheelmen In the city will be
Invited to participate. The Tourist team
consists of such heavyweight strong men
as Frederlckson , Mather , Uarnum , Adains ,
Peterson , Proulx , Charles Hall , BIllj Mar-
dls and Tom Spencer. The Omaha Wheel
club will doubtleas organize team to pull
the wln"er of the Tourist-Turner match.

Proud indeed should all parents be to whom laughing , healthy babies come.
And parents have much to do with their babies' health even before the little ones

ness will show in her baby. But a mother need not be sickly. It is her duty to be
well and strong. And to prepare for baby's coming.
