good his escape before they had thought of
giving chase, with any prospect of being
successful. Notwithstanding this unlock
edfor accident. the lady very pluckily re-
mounted her wheel and continued the
journey.
1t isvery encouraging to note the interest
taken in wheeling matters since the idea
of incorporating the Salt Lake Cycling
club. 1t not only means placing this most
healthful and invigorating sport before the
public, but it will be the means of restoring
all the outdoor amusements such as BIZ
cycling, racing, baseball, cricket, lawn ten
mis-, etc, and we can see no reason why
such amusements should ieidle any longer
Come to the front, fellow wheelmen, and
help the cause.
A gentleman, rider of the wheel, bought
G bound and it was his pleasure thereafter
10 have the hound accompany him on his
travels, until one day the aforesaid hound
gst entangled in the wheel and was badly
used up, besides being the cause of his
master having serious fall. After lavish
attention upon the poor hound, he was soon
able to accompany his master again, keep
ing at respectable distance from the
wheel, however. One day as the rider
dismounted in wood for rest he
left his machine leaning against tree
when a tramp came along, hoped upon it,
and began to get out Of sight-not of the
hound, however, who followed the tramp
jumping at his legs to bite them and en-
de 4voring TO bring the tramp down. His
efforts were unavailing, however, till his
own past troubled experience haunted him
to desperation. Did the noble hound sit
down in the road and cry and whine over
the loss of his masters wheel! n. M.
(Which means not muchD In gallant self
sacrifice he flung himself down in front Of
the wheel and caused the tramp
to do as his master had once,
Done through the same agency. This en-
abled the master to come up and give the
tramp a sound threshing which he does,
and as the tramp limps off the wheelman
mounts and shows his appreciation of his
hound by taking him on to the next house
at which he stops. As civlizer the bicycle
is a success even on hound, but 1t don't
work on tramp.
ADVICE TO TIE LADIES.
Don't set the saddle too high, else you
cannot get the correct ankle action, You
lose power and you are in danger of a
strain.
Don't place the saddle so high that you
caunot reach the pedal with the arch of
the foot or place your toe beneath it.
Strike happy medium.
Don't fail to learn the ankle action and
practice it.
Don't wear corsets. Think what your
brothers would suffer were they forced to
ride tightly banded in steel.
Don't wear boots for they prevent the
freedom of motion essential to good pedal
ing. Buttons are better than strings.
Don't regard the mutterings of Mrs.
Grundy if you feel that cycling benefits
you and gives you innocent pleasure.
Don't be disturbed if the people look at
you. People always look at a locomotive,
though it is not strange sight. You will
find more friendliness than harsh criticism
behind the gaze of the populace.
Don't forget that the pioneers in every
cause excite the attention and remark of
the world.
Don't forget your purse. You may need
little cash and the want of it may lead to
embarrassment.
Don't, by reckless riding, bring cycling
into disrcpute and dissuade many from
riding. One accident will have an effect
that months Of talking Up the wheel can
not undo
