A brake device , for which there may be
considerable demand and which will be
offered as an option on one of the 1SSS
standard models , Is an automatic brake.
Similar dovlcca will appear on many of next
year's models. The torako consists of a
spring expansion ring on the rear sprocket
u-nrlilnir within a. frictlonal drum. The
HUMUS of the wheel is brought about Dy
back-pedaling , which opens out the spring
and brings It into contact with the brake.
The Instant back-pedaling ceases the spring
contracts and the wheel Is released. No
power Is lost In releasing the brake and the
action Is Immediate. V.'hen wishing to
check the speed of the machine the firm
Impulse ot the rld&r Is to back-pedal , the
cftecilvcnesa of which la greatly multiplied
by the action of the brake , the action being
so natural that after a few days' use the
rider becomes unaware of It * existence and

brake Is especially valuable to women In

Then Jack took hold of Iho wheel und
trundled It over toward the city bill , while
the girl In the short skirts followed with
his companion. At the city hall the latter
assumed command. He called Joe , the boot

What has become of the perscos who two
years ago i > ers'sted ' in criticising wheelmen
because ot their seeming lack of civility to
ward pedestrians ? Wo refer particularly ,
says the New York Sun , to the Individuals
who maintained that the old-fashioned , free
handed salutations from , cyclists were pain
fully and unnecessarily few , and that some
thing would have to bo done to correct the
bicycler's Indifference lo his fellow men.
When It < w found that the act of lifting the
hit or saluting with the hand might endanger
the wheelman's life. If ho were an unskillful
rldtr , some of the sticklers for conventional
ity declared that every rider ought to possess
a hat-ralslng contrivance that should be self-
c0eratlnR , or set In motion by pulling a string
> r pressing a button.
Accordingly , on the llth of March , 1800 ,
letters patent were granted to a citizen of
the west for what was called "a saluting
levlce. " When attached to the head It re
leved the wearer of all manual exertion In
cident to lifting his bat upon meeting an ac
quaintance when his hands were otherwise
engaged. A mere ncd would start the ma
chinery Inside the hat , which would be sud
denly hoisted about a foot above the head by
an apparatus suggestive of a self-dumping
coal cart. It remained at rest for a marmot ,
then described h. semi-circle and settled back
upon the c ran him.
This j-ick-ln-tne-box Invention doesn't ap
pear to have had a very cordial reception In
New York. Even In Brston. where the stin
and comfortless "bicycle nod" was first heard
cf , the apparatus has not been received with
much enthusiasm. What 1 * the cause of all
tills ? Have whcolmca reformed and become
more thoughtful and courteous than formerly
or arc their critics of two years ago content
with a biro nod and the good luck not to be
run down by scorchers ? It Is not Improbable
that the true explanation Is that a majority
at the fault finders now hive wheels of their
own.

A dispatch from Amsterdam says that
while the young queen. Wllbelmlna was with
aer mother recently In Vienna ahe became
[ ttsslroately fond of bicycling , and 'brought '
ionic a splendid machine.
She enjoyed the sport for a time In the
royal garden , and then her mother was
seized with harrowing scruples on 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 delib
erated the question very carefully nnd ex
haustively , and finally concluded that such
recreation wan Incompatible with the dignity
or the throoe.
It a ! o based Us objection to the queen's
riding on the risk ebe ran of being Injured.
The council concluded to Implore her gra
cious majesty not to expose her precious
life to this danger. The que n pouted , but
obeyed , and accepted a. gift of a Shetland
pony , on which ehe- sought solace.

The Tourist Wheelmen are making prepara

members -who assemble around the banquet

Llnroln 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. They
allege that In the recent League of American
Wheelmen , state election their candidates for
office were knifed , as they are pleased to
term it , and that Oinaha was responsible for
it. But to one on the inside of the matter
It Is apparent that no one but thenwelvcs arc !
responsible for the defeat of their candidates. I ;
In the first place they nominated for the
office of secretary-treasurer a. yorcig rr.an who ! ! i
is practically unknown in Nebraska wheeling ! I
circles and who h < ts never done anything fori I
the division that would merit his being I
elected to the position over such a well' '
known and popular wheelman as Dr. F. C. ,
Allen of Beatrice , who has been working : for !
the Interests of the division for the last
five years. Then again Lincoln can hardly
c oect Omaha members to support Its candi
dates after the way it treated Omaha In the
fight for the state meet of 1S9S. If that city
expects to have the state officers chosen from
among Its members , let th"m Increase the
membership enough to cleft them , as Ocsaha' '
has done. As to Mr. Mllnilne , Lincoln's can-
dldito for representative o the recent elec
tion , he was defeated by only three votes , and
that was not the fault of Omaha cieaibew.
but due to the fact that his opponents ,
Messrs. Klneh of Grand Island anJ Hanscn
of Kearney are two of the nicst popular
wheelmen In the etate.
Colonel Harry Hartry of the Tourist
AVheelmcn has organized -tug-of-war team
and announces that he stands nady to ac
cept the challenge Issuci 'bythe Turner
Wheel club to pull any team In Omaha. He
hopes to have the match arranged to tike
place before Christmas at Turner hall , and
It is his Idea to charge a small admission anil'
to use the proceeds for a grand saiokrr In
which all wheelmen in the eity will be
Invited to participate. The Tourist team
consists of such heavyweight strong men
as Frcdcrlckson , Mather. Ilarnum , Adaica ,
Peterson , Proulx. Charles Hall. Dllly Mar-
dls and Tom Spencer. Th Omahi Wheel
club will doubtless organize a team to pull
the winner of the Tourist-Turner match.

Something1 to be Proud of.
This is a great baby. Every baby is. Especially every first baby.
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
are born. A puny , sickly mother can't have a strong , healthy child. Her weak
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.
