"Tho suggestion of a c > cling Journal that
the racing squabble should be settled by
Kixlng the League of American Wheelmen
control of amateur racing nnd relegating
professional contests to the National Cycling
association would , If adopted , merely tangle
matters up , " cajs the Chicago Chronicle
"The Idea to bo kept In view ought to bo

gether. Racing has all but killed the league.
U hnu fastened upon the organization a
cluster of racing board leeches who 1mo
nlniofat sucked the llfo blood from It. The

as It afcsumes to control lacing of any kind ,
lllrttory proves the assertion. "
Tom Cooper , the joung man who has kept
Detroit on the map of the cycling world , ex
pects to achlc\o greater success and fame- the
coming > car than he has acquired in the
past. Ills ambition to win the championship
of America has been reall/ed , nnd he now as
pires to the proud position of chimplon of
the world , nnd Intrnds to make a trip to
Kuropc for the puipose of making nn effoit
to accomplish that feat C'ooper has been
awarded the ono-mlle and two-mllo cham
pionship medal by the National Cycling as
sociation. While home racing men me cred
ited with more points , through riding In a
greitcr number of o\ents , Cooper Is the ac
knowledged champion , ah he lode only In
the Important raies and easily led all rivals
In points won In championship races His
catih winnings for the l.tst season , in puirics
alone , amounting to nearly $1,000 , _ and as
this amount was added to by-flu ? makers of
the wheel ho lode It proved1 to b'e a very
profitable season Cooper' has invested his
earnings well and If .he never rides another
r.uo there Us no danger of the wolf appear
ing at his door.
In uc'iuliiE up the businefn of the League
iif UnWicm Wheelmen It Is found that ono
of tin imoht important , privileges accorded to
inombyru costs the organisation quite a sum
frnTfiually This fa"Iho privilege of allowing
Lciguo of American Wheelmen riders to
cross the Canadian border without the pay
ment of duty en their 'wheels , the only re
quirement being that such tourists must , de
posit their League of American Wheelmen
membership cards with the customs olllclala
and call for them on iclurntng. Under the
agreement between the league and the Ca
nadian customs service the League of Amer
ican Wheelmen assumes responsibility for
lu > piyment of duty on all wheels which It
s tthown weiq not returned During the' cur
rent joar there have been twenty-seven
League of American Wheelmen members
who ha\o failed to leclalm theli cards , and
Iho Leagueof American Wheelmen has
there-fore been called upon to pay $23(1 ( SO ,
the total amount of duty on the twcntj-
seven wheels These figures , besides being
a reproach to negligent members , are Inter

A few years ago the legislature of Con-
nctlcut pawed a "good lends" law. This
law provided for the giving of state aid to
flueh towns as desired to Improve their
chief highways. As n result cf this law COO
miles of romls lm\o been directly or Indi
rectly Improved by hardening , gravpllng or
regradlng nnd several hundred miles more
are In process of being Improved Since
good roads legislation began. 13S towns out
of a total of ins in the state have received
aid , nnd the Indirect effect of the Itglala-
tlon in encouraging towns n Improve the
hlglnvnyn baa been marked. This year 115
IOWIIH hnvp made application for state as
sistance. Those applications call for a ctato
expenditure of over $110,000 , nnd the t llre
amount to be expended on road Iniprove--
mcntB will bo , approximately , J 133,000
Applications for dates on the grand circuit
of the National Cycling association for 1000
are already being tccolvcd , which Indlcnles
that the new organization iutends to con
tinue In business As the circuit lasts only
three months and a race meet Hated on It Is
assured of the prcaenco of all the star riders
who seek the championship , the piomoters
nro not wasting time wondering what the
Leagun of American Wheelmen will do A
new Idea will bo put Into force next > eir. A
pel coinage cf the sanction fee on the circuit
will be set aside to constitute a purse for the
rider who nt the season's end shall have
competed nt the greatest number of cham
pionship meets nnd won at them the great
est number of points. Such a put so will bo
in the neighborhood of ? l,000 , and It Is apt
to keep nil the1 leaders In full attendance on
the circuit
A distinct novelty has -made Its appear
ance In response to the desires of those who
UEO wheels fitted with a coaster brake de
vice The new Idea Is a cyclometer that
measures the distance a rider does not pedal
The cjclomelcr Is 50 arranged that as long
as the feet ore In action , traveling around
with Iho pedals , It Is Imperative , but Just
as soon as the coaster is called Into reiiuls-
Illon and the feet aio nt lost on the pedals
the cyclometer begins to tick off the revolu
tions and the mileage. Thus with an ordi
nal y cjclomctor In the accustomed placa n
ildcr can tell on icturntag from a. trip the
total distance traversed nnd what part of It
was pedaled , by deducting the coasting rec
ord from the total ,
Jimmy Michael has as jet shown nothing
that would Indicate that ho will over make
n success as a Jockej , although ho Is now
ildlng nt New Orleans , and If ho continues
In this line of work may show up moro
favorabb Michael has , BO far , finished In
tli"nlso rans" In the few races In which
he has taken part His first attempt at
riding the "bangtails" seems to have been
a \ciy unfortunate affair for him , as he
loit his speed as a blcjclo rider and did
not amount to an > thing as a , Jockey. The
onlj course open to him now Is to stick to
the horseo for awhile , in the hope that ho
ma/ develop In this line.
Patent office returns show that inventors
are giving the hiibject of brakes that are
not wanted a rest and turning their atten
tion to coistor and two-speed devices Ono
bleclo concern that has been making wheels
for more than a decade has discontinued Its
bicvclo production and will henceforth put
all Its elTorts Into turning out coaster brakes.

1M 'Allen ' , formerly t'nlted Stales deputy
ma-slml , and Louis Llttlcfleld of the Hoard
of Health rlllcc slatted out on Clnlstmas
morning bcfcrn n good hoiso to spend the
day as spirts-iion should , In the country
Their destination was Kred Schroedcr's
farm , tluco mllci bcjoml Mlllnrd , where' n
warm welcome has awaltel hunters fiom
time immemorial The men wore equipped
with shojtlng lions and luoKcd foiwaid to
nu absence of twenty-Jour hours. They e\-
ttnxiod to leave the hoise In winter quar
ters ni the farm and to make the return
tilp by train. Tlioro was almost enough
snow on the ground for rabbits , and the air
was sufficiently mild to render a drive n
pleasuiu.
The horse proceeded at a gnod pice out
Center street nnd found Him footing on
the macadam. The twelve-mile drive
promised to end uncvcnttullj , as both iho
occupants of the buggy had lived In the
country for jears and had traversed al
most everj foot of the outljlng count ! y on
ono errand or another When the travel
ers hod passed Huser's park Allen noticed
the road leading to the south up n steep
ascent. He rccogniml It as the "cut-oft. "
nnd announced that In his Judgment the
horse should bo turned 'Into ' It. Ho picm-
Ised that it would shorten the tilp by nvo
ir.llcs and would bring the Journey to a
close In tlmo to guarantee that both the
travelers' names should be In the Christ
mas po > .
The advice prevailed and the horse's head
turned south Llttlelleld claims that ha
icllel wholly on Allen's judgment , as ho
himself had not been in the Uclnitv for
many > e is Allen pointed out that it
was Impossible to mUs the way , as the
11. & Oil. railroad would Interpose 01 banlcr
on the fcouth nnd a line of telegraph poles
would warn him if he worked too far to
the northward Passing the time In song
nnd story , like the pilgrims in the Canter
bury tales , and refreshing themselves vvi'h
such means as they had providently la'd
by , the occupants paid small heed to pars
ing objects , and In tome unknown mamiei
passsed over the tracks. Llttlefleld nd-
vanees the theory that the railroad at
ithat point must have been hidden In some
deep ravlno which was spanned by an en
closed bridge
When the driver at last awoke to his
responsibilities nil familiar landmarks had
vanished Ho realized that he was lost In
Sarpy county. Keeping the depressing
knowledge from his companion , however ,
Allen urged the hors > e towaid a btiaggllng
collection of houses in the distance , hoping
vaguely that it might be MlHard , and thai
his comrade- might never discover his self-
distrust The hamlet was reached anil
proved to bo Dcerfleld , easily Identliled by
the ruins of Ir. Mlllei's mansion.

Allen made his confe-sslon.
feroneo to such tolace as they had on board
the travelers then began an earnest elTorl
to remedy their error a id reach the
hospitable farmhouse before the dinner hour
They encountered a number of hunters , all
of whom they know , and who expressed
good-natured unbelief that two such seasoned
veterans should have lost their way. Allen
and Llttlefleld extracted such directions as
to their proper course as they could ami
started on another tack. They traveled
what bcenied hours and met no living thing
Finally another group of houses appeared
boailng an unfamlllii look In their mantle
of snowA closer Inspection , however , dis
closed the historic "Papplo" and betrayed
thn little town as Papllllon , to the Infinite
disgust of the sportsmen.
Careful inquiry brought to light that the
Omnhans had tiaveled two miles and n
half which must be retraced step for step
before the eioss-road was reached loading
to Mlllard There was no escape and the
wearied horse was sent along nt his top
most speed. Songs and stories bad ceased
In the buggy , and all energy was devoted to
reaching the coveted goal in time for Christ
mas dinner
It was 4 o'clock In the nfteuioon when the
sportsmen lifted their shotguns out of the
buggy nt Mlllard. The farmer's house was
alnco bt-en completed
deserted , dinner had long
pleted and . .II hands had gone for n
neighborly visit. The city men ate what
scrapings could be gatheird at the village
hotel. In hopeless dejection They were
quarteiud nt the Inn over night , and on the
oiioinlng of December i > went to Poital ,
thu only town In Duiiglas and Sarpy
counties which they had not visited , and
took the train for home.
