BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-The repre-
sentative men of the League OF Amer
lean Wheelmen have gone home after
an assembly which for hard work and
its effect upon the future OF the League
and of yelling in general will long be
remembered. Among the most I'M
portant Of its results are: The aboli'
ton of class B; the determination that
the League shall retain control OF cycle
racing; increasing fees for sanctions,
which it is hoped will result in forcing
outside clubs to join the league; the
adoption of numerous wise rules for the
better regulation of racing, and gen
eral strengthening up all around in the
Leagues pos ton.
The mantle of charity was thrown
. over the shortcomings OF Titus ane

the meeting was the practical reduc
ton of their sentence from life sus
pension to suspension for one year.

Hearse Driver Drew the Line ut
Smoking on the Seat NJ
Funeral etiquette is a particular and
varia a 9 a bic h sort Of thing. It differs vide
" in different partrs OF the city.
There occurred yesterday an incident
affecting an Eighth avenue funeral
which wouldn't have happened to a
Fifth avenue funeral. OF the two
principals in the occurrence one was
driving a hearse. The other was on
an Eighth avenue car. AS the car
drew near the hearse the passengr
waved his hat and shouted:
Hey, Bill! How goes it these,
days?' q s.
Hello, Jimv' replied the driver.
with grin of recognition ct goes
to Greenwoor.
THAT SOP said the other. s"'Pull up.
I'll go along with you.'' .1#
He jumped off the rear platform.
where he had been standing smok-
ing a cigar, and went over to the
hearse. The hearse stopped, and the
entire funeral procession stopped. Up
climbed the new acquisition to the
procession shook hands with his
friend, and took a seat beside him.
The hearse started on, and the entire
line of carriages followed. Presently
however, there was difficulty on the
hearse top. What was said wasn't
audible to the passengers on the car,
but the gestures were easily intellig-
IDLE. Obviously the hearse driver was
expostulating about the cigar, which
had assumed defiant tilt in Jim's
mouth He would pass the time Of
day from q funeral procession, Bill
would, and he would even stop to
take friend up, but he drew the line
at having cigars smoked over any
corpse that was under his care.
With. great expressiveness Of gesti-
culation Jim Indicated that his cigar
was good cigar, a 15-cent cigar in
fact, and he'd be smoked himself If
he'd shake it for any corpse. There
upon Bill shook his fist in Jim's face
and Jim shook his in Bills face, and
there was every prospect Of some
casualties resulting. But better coun-
sells prevailed. With very disguised
expression the driver pulled up his
horses, and the whole line stopped.
With great deliberation his friend got
down, holding his cigar tight between
his teeth. The hearse moved on, and
the procession moved on. Jim re-
turned to his street car, which had
kept pace with the hearse, and pro-
tested vigorously to the conductor
because he had to pay another fare

QUICK LUNCHES MAKE FAT MEN

Curious Result Of the Habit of Eat
Ing In n Hurry
Another evil result to the deadly
quick lunch has come to- light, and the
complaint has foundation Of scienti-
f1c proba bility. 81
I've noticed" said a man, 9Th lat
every person who acquires the quick
lunch habit gets fat as soon as. he
comes under the regular influence of
the system. Men who have been thin
their whole lives have begun to acquire
noticeable stomachs, and others with a
disposition to stoutness take on flesh
rapidly. It is perfectly plain to- see
why it happens. These daily lunch
cons supply bread, bread, bread the
most fattening thing a man can eat,
unless it be the cakes and pastry that
supplement the bread. There is sugar
IN most of the bread, and it is impossi-
BILE to get any one thing in these places
which does not have a tendency to
make a man fat. I've watched it. a
dozen cases, and there has not been an
exception. It's all right for the thin
men, but for the fat men it's dreadful.
It's so much cheaper for man to get
fat than to keep thin. When he COM
mences to diet and confines himself to
such things as meat and salads, his
luncheon costs him three or four times
as it would if he could eat the sand
Wiches and the cakes, and the quality
Of the food is not so good. Some phil
anthropist ought to open lunch place
where man can eat cheaply and still
keep his figure. But don't see how
he could make it pay. Something has
got to be done, however, to keep us all
from getting fat because we1can't af-
ford to pay for anything but dough-
nuts, sandwiches, cakes and milk

The lady started, her cheeks flush

A BROKEN FRIENDSHIP.
Il Was Terminated by n Bullet In a
Frontier Town.

1t was i'll tho early days of n town in
southwestern Kansas. Tho deadly "45"
was the most respected law of the place.
and daily and nightly, i'll the half dozen
saloons which the embryo city supported,
were congregated rs rough set of men
rs could be found i'll any town of the
size west of the Mississippi, spending
their time i'll gambling and carousing.
Monarch of all the roughs was Ed
Prather. He had eight notches in the
handle of his trusty 40, signifying that
by his hand eight human beings had
been sent to their long home Prather's
bosom friend was Billy Wells. He, too,
was bad man" in tho western accept
ance Of the term. Damon and Pythias
were not moro fraternal than these two
desperadoes. When ono was seen, the
other was always near. If one got into
trouble, tho other was always on hand
to assist him.
The tragic end of this friendship came
one summer morning. Prather had Just
successfully "stood off" sheriff and
his posse, and the crowd Of roughs was
congrcgated in his saloon, congratulate
ing him, drinking to his health and
celebrating the occasion by filling them
selves up with what is known in west
ern vernacular as 40 rod," preparatory
to terrorizing the town. Suddenly
Prather drew his revolver from the scab-
bard, and saying, Boys, watch me put
holo through Billy's hat" fired
There was u yell Of agony, and Wells
fell to the floor wounded to the death
my God, have killed him?" were
Prather's first words. Then, throwing
down his revolver, he sprang to tho sido
of the wounded man, just rs the last
culver came over the prostrato form and
the soul went to render its account.
For the first time in years a solitary
tear coursed down over the hardened
features of tho man whose hands were
newly stained with the blood Of fell
low creature, but, ashamed Of this mo-
mentary evidence of emotion, he hastily
brushed away the tear, and turning to
the bar called, Drinks for the crowd. +"
And the carousal went on.
Thus was one moro chapter added to
the history of frontier life-Detroit
