IMPORTANT L. A. w. RULING.
Road Racing Must Hereafter Be Un-
der League Control.

Baltimore, April 7.-Chairman Albert
Mott, of the League of American
Wheelmen racing board, has made an
important ruling in connection with
road racing, which virtually brings that
class of cycle events under the control
of the League of American Wheelmen,
who have an agreement with the Cen
tury Road club looking to the better
management of the sport. The ruling
was brought out by a road race which
the Clifton wheelmen of this city had
proposed to hold on Easter Monday.
Among the entries were six profess
sionals, a man under suspension for
two years and score of amateurs.
Cron seeing the list Mr.. Mott wrote
to the club saying that the suspended
man and the professionals must be ex-
cluded or else the amateurs would in
cur the penalty provided for racing
against professionals
This same ruling, Mr.. Mott declares,
will hold good in connection with all
road races and will have the effect of
hereafter dividing such contests into
professional and amateur events.

DAKOTA FARM LABORERS,
Men Whose Homes May BE "A Thousan,
Miles AUvou

Men Whose Homes May De n Thousand
Miles Away.
There is a season between May and
the middle of July, during which the
army of "hands" who work on these
North Dakota wheat farms waits for
the crops to ripen. In fact, except the
half score OF men who are regularly EN-
ployed upon each place, all the men
who are engaged upon the big farms
in blowing season, at seeding time, dur
ing harvest, and when the season for
threshing comes-the men who do the
most important work-are transient la
borers. Frequently they are birds of
passage, whose faces are familiar to the
foremen, but whose homes may be a
thousand miles away. Men of this char
acter are not "hoboes;" yet now and
then q tramp does "rest from his loved
employ" and work with the harvest
hands,"
A majority of the laborers comes from
the south, in harvest time. These men
are regular harvesters, who begin with
the early June harvest in Oklahoma,
working northward until the season
closes in the Red river country Men of
this class never pay railroad fare. Thou
sands of them-perhaps IS men on every
thousand acres in wheat-ride into the
bonanza district on the "blind bag
gage" on passenger trains. When they
have leisure and taste for scenery they
jolt placidly across the continent, home
ward bound, in what the lingo of the
cult calls ''side-door sleepers." Many of
these workmen live in the larger towns
in the middle west-in st. Louis, in
Omaha, i'm St. Paul, in Chicago or in Mil
waullee. And they bring home prob
ably a million dollars in wages. They
are steady, Industrious men, with no
bad habits, and small ambitions. On
the best farms there isno drinking, and
card-playing is strictly prohibited. The
foremen say that cards keep men cut of
bed at might, and they have not their
best strength to work during the day.
There are no amusements on the farm,
and at nine o'clock the fatigue usually
drives the mem to bed.-William Allen
White, in Scribner's.

Cot of the Commonwealth.

No cats are brought into the state
house, but they come of their own sweet
will, and stay great deal longer than
their presence is desired. When the
guide gathers his tourists about him in
the house lobby and lifts his umbrella
to point to the honored' names in the
skylight above, the visitors are sure to
see the form of cat stretched at full
length on the glass. The cat is not
dead, however, as the whole force of
the sergeant-at-arms can testify, but is
simply taking a snooze in the genial sun
light. She came in through the Bulfnch
front and sought the roof. She feeds
on mice, and nobody can get within
100 feet of her. If she is surrounded at
the Derne street end she soon makes a
break through the line of her pursuers
and adjourns to the vicinity of the
gilded dome. At present she spends
most of her time over the skylight in
the state library.-Boston Transcript.
