WHEELMEN ARRIVING.
Preparations Completed Forthe
Eighth Annual Meet Of
the L. A. w.
The St. Louis Delegation Al.
ready Here.
The Full Official Programme.

There is every indication that the
eaht annual meet of the L. A. w. of
Missouri, which assemblies in Sedalia
tomorrow, will be the grandest affair
Of the kind ever held in the state.
Hundreds of wheelmen will be here,
the st. Louis delegation having ar
rived this morning, and there will
also be thousands of spectators to wit
ness this bicycle carnival. The
several local committees have every

perfected to add to the success of the
eighth annual meet of the Missouri
division L. A. W., which will take
place at Sedalia, Mo-, on July 2, 3

wheelmen ever known to attend any
previous meet will be on hand, having
been attracted by the elegant carl OF
twelve events which will be run on
Tuesday afternoon at the Association
park track. The prize list is valued
at 81, 800 and is by far the most val
liable one ever hung up in this state.
The number of entries already to
hand for handicap events is very large
and in every race no less than 20 men
will face the starter. With a time
limit on each race the run will surely
lie very fast. Local racers have been
in steady training since the Forest
park road race and their condition
could not he improved upon. Several
quarters in Isl have been made, this
alone going to show the speed some
are travelling.
The local wheelmen will leave on
the $50 Missouri Pacific train this
evening. The several clubs will meet
at their various headquarters and ride
down to the depot in a body. The
South Sides will meet at Sp. H., and
the other clubs have called 70. the
same hour.
All wheels must be tagged with the
owners name and destination when
placed in the special baggage car that
will be at the cyclists disposal. Upon
arrival at Sedalia the train will be met
by a reception committee and all will
be escorted to Sicher's hotel. which
will he the headquarters during tile
several DAYS stay in town. The pro-
gramme for Sunday. Monday and
Tuesdays entertainment is something
very fine, and NO wheelmaD in the city
should fail to attend the meet.
After the banquet Tues
day evening the st Louis
delegation will take the 1910 a. m.
train for hone where they will arrive
at 6:l5. in ample time for business.
Those unable to leave tonight must
see to having wheels at the depot, and
they will be carried through and can
be gotten upon arrival of owners when
they come, as no wheels will be car
ried on Sundays and Mondays trains.
A rate of 1886 has been granted for
the round trip, and special rate of
s1.5O has been given by all the hotels
in Sedalia. Entrance to the race
track will be free to all wheelmen

A Wicked Boys Hot Day Joke.

A woman who lives in the suburbs of
Brooklyn usually places large tin pan
on her front doorstep to re ceive the ice
that the iceman delivers to her each
morning. During a recent hot spell
her little grandson, who is full of mis- =
chief, thought that he would play a joke
on his grandmother. The next morn
ing when the pan was put on the step,
be filed it partly with water and then
yelled " I-c.e!" 1t was nearly five
minutes before the grandmother started
to take the ice into the house. She
was surprised to find that the ice had
melted so quickly. Meantime the ice
n an had come and saw no pan for the
ice. He did not leave the usual piece,
and the grandmother was telling her
neighbors of the unusual heat until the
other day when the young hopeful told
his big brother about the joke he
play ed.-New York Sun.

Alaska Fish.

In this modern day of government
schools, ready-made clothing and two
dollars a-day wages, almost the only
picturesqueness left to native life is,
during the salmon runs. Families and
tribes betake themselves to their
hereditary fishing grounds to catch
and dry their salmon for winter use,
and isolated summer camps break the
forested shore-line with fine effect. A
row of black canoes on the beach, a
cluster of bark or matted tents, with
frames of drying salmon overhangipg
the camp fires, are set between some
clear still green water foreground and
an abrupt screen of 9reenest menZie
or merton spruces. The racks of fish
give touches of high color to the scene,
as the further north they are caught
the redder the Pacific salmon are; and
in Lynn Canal some of these camps
look as if decora ed with red bunting.
All is salmon that come to the Tlingit.
and he makes no distinction between
king, red, silver, humpback or dog
salmon, rather preft rring, on the whole,
the coarse, rank flesh OF the last, which
no white man wants; hence he RACES
at the capnery's waste and the destruc-
ton of his chief food supply. Since
the corrupting touch of trade has even
reached their salmon streams, the nG-
tives now make permanent summer
villages beside the canneries. The
men work for the company, and the
women aud children do a little indie
pendent fishing, but more regularly
follow the cannery scows and fill their
canoes with rejected salmon, as Gamers
use only about third of all fish seined.
Thus, in midsummer, Alaska villages
are as empty of their first families as
any Eastern city, and the tourists see
closed houses, and not third of the
regular inhabitants. Census enumera-
ators work zealously, but vainly, in
attempting TO count the natives when
they are scattered in Temotest hooks all
over the archipelago, half of them
padding their canoes from one place TO
another, and as likely to be counted
twice ss not at all during the summer.
The white mans fisheries are more
prosaic, less fragrant, and never pic
iuresque in hemselves. One finds the
canneries in the furthest hooks and
inches of the archipelago, each with a
finer landscape setting than the last.
There is always mountain back
ground, and clear, brawling stream
coming from the dense forest.-Har-

Gone to the Land of Spirits.

Colonel B., well known gentleman,
had been sick in Washington for some
days, and the local reporters had made
daily inquiries concerning him after
the first announcement. One day re-
porter for an evening paper called at
the hotel to inquire. " How's Colonel
B.?" he asked of the clerk. "The
colonel has gone to the spirit land" was
the reply. The reporter made note
of it. TIE next mornings paper had an
account of his death at noon the day
before. "How's this?" said the city
editor to the reporter. "You didn't
get anything about Colonel B in yester-
day evenings paper" Eyes, did, "
replied the innocent reporter, as he
hunted up the item. 8 Here it is"
The city editor looked it over and
swore. The item read as follows:
Colonel B., who has been quite sick
for several days at the Blank hotel. has
recovered sufficiently to go to Ken

The Merits of the COuntry.sc

There is more reading done in our
farm neighborhoods han in our cities;
and the good typical farm house has its
newspapers always and its mage zines
quite frequently. Nor are the district
schools so inferior, though their quality
varies much from year to year. With
a good teacher in charge, the country
district school is better than the city
graded schc oil, be cause it is more free
from mere machinery and better adapted
to develop the individuality of pupils.
Hundreds of men and women of high
standing and wide experience to-day
are thankful for the little wooded coun-
try schoo.-house of their Chi dhood
days, in which the educational metho DIS
pursued were infinitely more scientific
and valuable than those now folowed

What a Spanish Lady Brought tC
England.

When the unfortunate Katharine of
Aragon, who was the wife of the brother
OF Henry Will, and was afterwards
married to Henry VIII. himself, first
came to England she brought with her
from Spain an article which was quite
unfamiliar to English eyes. This
small but necessary article had been
manufactured in France, and was sent
from that country to Spain as part of
the elegant outfit prepared for the bride
of The king of England, Walking down
Broadway you might pick up thou
sand, perhaps, and a goodly number on
the common roadside, but in the days
of Henry VIII. it was an expensive
luxury. And what do you suppose it
was? Only pinl Previous to that
time the fastenings in general use con-
sisted of clasps, ribbons, strings, loop
holes, skewers of bone, silver, gold,
brass, or wood, and crudey formed
hooks and eyes; but the simple pin,
with its solid head and sharp point, was
unknown. France claims that ali new
ideas which come into the world come
through her, however well they may be
developed and perfected by other ma
tons. In the evolution of the pin
France deserves the credit. She made
the best pins long before they could be
made in other countries, and it was a
Frenchman, Foutnier by name, who
went to Nuremberg and taught the
wire drawers and makers of that city
how to improve their machines, and
thus draw the wire finer for the man
ufacture of pins with solid heads. This
improvement was much-needed one,
for an act had been passed in England
prohibiting the sale of pins unless they
had solid or double heads which did not
come off. For long time, then, pins
in England belonged to the list of i'm
ported articles, but in 1926 manufac-
tory was started in Gloucestershire by a
man named John Tilsby, who operated
so successfully that he employed az
many as fifteen hundre people.

Dutch KIOOmpers.


One of the queerest sights which /
saw in Europe was row of wooden
shoes outs ide t1e door of Dutch farm
house on Saturday morning. There
were the big sized shoes of the farmer
himself, the middle sized shoes of bis
good vraow, and several small-sized
shoes of the children; and all the line
had been scrubbed and fri SHY white
washed in preparation for Sunday.
There are many kinds of wooden shoes
worn by peasants in Europe, ut none
are more clumsy and heavy than the
" k'oompers Of the Holanders. They
are boat-shaptd with high wooden pro-
tections to the heels, and curious
little upward twist to the toes. like the
PROV Of Chinese Junk. But heavy
and awkward as The shoes are. the
Dutch children run about as lightly as
if they were shod in Cinderela's glass
slippers, and DO not seem to object in
the least to the clicking sound made by
the shoes on the pavement. One Of
the most extraordinary sights in the
world is line of lutte Dutch bows
playing leal frog in their great noisy
wooden kloompers. Having formed a
row of frogs" from one end of their
village to the other, the boys begin to
jump in the usual agile way of the
players of the lively game. AS soon as
the line is in motion most tremend-

Successor of the Old Maid.

The term girl bachelor" is a new
coint ge seemingly destined to take the
place of the WORKOUT sold maid"
which has long since lost its sting, if
indeed it ever had any. The girl bach
elor of to-day is a well-pois ed, independ-
ent, generally self-supporting young
woman, who does not see in matrimonY
the chief end and aim of feminine eX-
istence and who finds in the compan-
ionship of other women the many
opportunities for helpful work all that
she needs. Plenty of the most agree
able social life is to be seen at her
woman's club, which beneficent insti-
tutions, like mushrooms, are springing
up all over the country. Here she
meets dozens of kindly, pleasant, wise
and attractive women, and thus keeps
in touch with all matters of interest in
the literary, artistic and social world.
Her own rooms are also the meeting
place of many congenial spirits. Should
she wish to travel, the world is her
own from the north pole to the pyra-
mids, with every modern facility for
seeing and observing within her reach.
All this does not imply that women are
growing averse to matrimony and family
care S, but that many who are not sc
constituted as 10 find in it their true
happiness are finding other channels
for their activities, and are no longer
doomed TO the loveless, contracted life
of the old time old-maid. y Chicago
