A MORNING RIDE.

All hail! my brave, bright world Of green

Ny morning, smiling from the kies Of
night!
Your other lover gyeets you. Left and
right
There's a-twitter in the sunshine bold,
The air is praying in the shadowy void,
Sole lord am Of all this realm OF sight,
These singing meadows sweeps, this
proud delight
OF ranking hills, these clouds just out Of
fold.
Stoutly the sturdy road beneath my feet
Rings me morning welcome. Rise, my
soul,
The benediction OF the sky to meet.
Sound, color; fragrance, freshness
mine the whole;
Mine to receive. and haply mine to give;
A kingly day, and kingly must live.

The rule Of the road in the land Of the

To remember will not take you long:
II you turn to the right you will never

II you turn to the left you are wrong.
The Wheel.
In the above four lines ia conveyed a
little instruction that could be observed
by the majority Of Lincoln wheelmen
with great deal Of profit to themselves
and lessening OF danger to Others in
no small degree. Ride to the right
should always be the rule whether in
the country highway or the city street.
whether meeting brother or sister
cyclist. carriage, buggy, ice or bake
wagon. Ride wherever you please
seems just at present to be the rule
among the cyclists of this city. This
should be inculcated in the clubs and
among the riders not members Of clubs,
and be insisted upon by all who ride.
Many wheelmen seem to have no idea
that the rule Of keeping to the right is
a national one in the United States and
that it is at all times obligatory, except
in the event of overtaking others when
the turn in passing them should be made
to the left. Lincoln cyclists remember
this advice: Ride to the right.
The longer a cycle is allowed to stand
after heavy run in mud, the harder it
is to clean. 1t is best to give the
machine rough wipe down directly on
returning home after spin.
The latest production Of the cycle
manufacturers is a tandem frame inter-
changable with the wheels of the cycle.
You ride home, change your wheels into
the tandem frame, and 10, you and your
wife 60 out for an evening spin.
Its nice thing for Millmine, Dean
