A wheelwoman sends in this story to
The Courikr with the request that her
name be repressed: "There is a certain
bicyclist in tho city who a year ago was
one of the few 'cranks' who 'wouldn't
have a bicycle if he was given the finest
one made as a present.' His friends
listened respectfully and argued with
him until, to make a long story short, ho
eventually bought a high grade wheel,
This was tho beginning of the making
of one of the worst bicycle cranks in a
mild way that thoro is in Lincoln. After
an extended visit to tho east he came
back with still moro advanced ideas about
the wheel and, and after three or four
days dragged forth from the bottom of
his trunk an exceedingly 'sarell' bicycle
suit which he showed to his wife with
some misgivings and great fears of the
guying' he knew ho was in for. But
that gradually passed over and then ho
received a good many admiring remarks
for there was no doubt about it he did
look nice in the now suit. Ho was im
mensely proud himself aid particularly
so of the golf stockings which he could
not help making remarks about. But
he has said nothing now since a memor
able night last week when in the pres

pattel his'golf's fondly and said, These,
you kaow, aro what tho prodigal son
lived on.' They all tried to laugh but
the ttTort was painful and a dead silence
secmeJ bound to fall when one of tho
boys in tho party relieved everyone's
feelings iu more ways than one by 6aying:
Yei indeed, Mr. E radded calf.' His
friends have been safe on lint score now
for quits a while, but it is hinted that ho
sent the other day for low t'rop handle
bars.
