To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Have you room to put in grateful acknowl-

from strong all my life and this fall my physi-
clan prescribed for me the use of the bicycle.

dsapproved of it but because 1 am naturally
very timid and distrustful of my own powers
in the direction Of athletics. However, my
physician would not listen to me beyond tell
ing ME that if wanted to grow strong this
was my chance, and 1t would be on my own
head if missed the opportunity OF becoming
of some use to myself and the rest OF the
world / began to learn. To say that 1 was
frightened, discouraged and absolutely con-
WINGED that 1t was at the risk OF my life that
made the experiment, Is to state the case very
mildly. / have been about six weeks learning
to ride and have exhausted my own patience
ana the patience OF my instructor many times
over, but have at last conquered the art and
am now thoroughly at home on my machine.
/ began to feel the good effects uf the exercise
almost Immediately, and now that car ride
every day there is a perceptible improvement
i'll my general health and l am thankful in
proportion to the physician who first put me
on and kept me OH III spite of myself.
The letter that saw and read in your paper
came in one of my darkest hours. l was in
despair of learning and yet could not give it up,
and when l saw what it had done for another
woman l determined that would keep on and
succeed. for what another had done surely
could, and did. l would not give up my wheel
for anything, and count great deal Of my con-
tinually increasing health and energy as di-
rectiy the outcome of the use of my bicycle.

A knights Of Labor Ballot Law,

j. Henning Jones OF Baltimore introduced in
tho Maryland house Of representatives yester-
day the Australian ballot law, prepared by tho
Crescent club and the knights of Labor. The
bill was referred to the committee on elections,
and, says the Baltimore Americans Annapolis
correspondent. it is understood that there is a
deep-iald scheme on foot among the politicians
to knock it into cooked hat. The bill provides
for two watchers, whose duty in part shall be
to give any assistance that may be necessary to
the illiterate voter. Here is the stumbling
block that the politicians want to roll away
They don't propose to have any watchers in
theirs, or to allow any interference or assist
ance in any shape, manner or form with the
illiterate voter.
The Australian ballot law of the democratic
business mems association will probably be in
troduced in the senate today.
