RODE DOWN THE CAPITOL STEPS
A Wheelman's Desperate Feat in
Washington

William Shields of Woonsocket, R. l.,
rode down the steps of the west front of
the capitol Wednesday afternoon on
bicycle, and lives today to tell the tale.
Perhaps it would be more exact to say
that he dropped slantwise from the top
of the terrace to the ground below while
astride Of wheel. There is no, question
that he accomplished the feat, for he
was photographed during his rapid de-
scent, and the incontroyertible product
of the camera is on exhibition to con-
vince the skeptics.
Until now no wheelman ever attempt
ed to ride down the steps on the west
front, though riders have accomplished
the feat on the east steps. The scene of
the performance was the ascent, or
rather descent leading to the Maryland
avenue entrance to the grounds. Here
there are four flights of steps mounting
the terrace. The two lower flights of
sixteen steps each are broken by land
ing about. ten feet in width, then there
are another landing about twice as wide
and two upper flights Of twenty-one
steps each. these in turn being separat-
ed by landing of equal width to that

Method Which Destroys

La Grippe the Forerunr1er of Con-
sumption and Should Not
Be Neglected

Don't delay attending to that cough.
Don't try to make yourself believe you
can wear it out. for you may be sure it
will wear you out first. No matter what
reserve strength or fine physique you
may be able to boast of, you cannot with
stand the constant destructive effects
which the germs of tuberculosis are pro-
ducing in your system and in your lungs
La grippe is rarely very serious at the
time of it's first attacking the patient,
but it unfortunately develops persistent
and progressive, but obscure symptoms
which eventually leave the patient in an
almost hopeless and helpless condition,
and with we'll marked symptoms of con-
sumption before the friends even are
really aware of anything serious.
You may be one of these cases, hav-
ing had la grippe few weeks or months
ago, and instead of getting well, you find
you have cough; you expectorate d
good deal; you are annoyed by the ex-
treme weakness and debility and per
haps loss of weight and a general indis-
position for ordinary occupation.
If you have any of these symptoms,
lose no time in seeking the advice of DR.
w. Harrison Ballard, the expert lung
specialist, whose special province is to
treat and cure Just such cases as these,
and although consumption may be well
advanced and the bacilli of tuberculosis
very abundant, still by his improved

tions of medicated air he can cure you.

A MASTERFUL MAN
An Illustration Proving That Women
Love Him

Most women will deny it, but the truth
seems to be that the sex is ever ready
to bow down to men of strong WILL There
is now on a visit to West Side friends a
handsome and happy matron who in
girlhood days was well known to large
circle of Chicago friends. Her expert
ence ie all in the direction of proving
that the caption of this article is true.
She is now in the autumn of life and just
as proud of her husband as though his
career had made her mistress of the
White house. He Is "Dick" to her, just
as when he carried her books to school,
took her skating or whipped the boy who
teased his little sweetheart. The other
evening she told the story of her en-
gagement to a friend of her youth who
was visiting her.
You never heard the Details" said
the hostess" "for I was away from
home teaching in that fashionable board
ing school. 1t was a great advancement
for me from the dingy little district
school house to that pretentious estab-
lishment. My salary seemed like for
tune. I was favorite with the young
ladies', had taste in dress, was account
ed pretty and was arranging to go
abroad during the next summer vaca-
ton. Then along came Dick, whom I
had not seen since he went west three
years before to become ranchman and
win fortune. AS boy and girl we had
been lovers, but 1 was bent on career
and my prospects seemed so inviting.
He was like a breeze from the prairie.
Perhaps he was more like a cyclone. He
was one of the handsomest young men
you ever saw, and so masterful / tried
to avoid meeting him alone, but when
was out walking one day he joined me,
and despite all my tactics he proposed
and refused as nicely as could, telling
him exultantly of my plans. But Dick
just laughed and told me he was going
to take me back with him.
THAT very night there was a greai
party to which the school was going in
body, but 1 felt out of sorts and re-
mained at home. About 0 o'clock was
called downstairs to see a gentleman
and it was Dick. chided him for COM
ing and again refused him. When he
told me that loved him and that knew

him, and I believed it too Again he
laughed and said he had arranged to
take me back with him. couldn't sleep
that night BY morning had concluded
that I couldn't set the world afire II I
tried, and that there were great many
things about Dick to admire. The re-
suit was that he did take me west and
that some of my happiest years were
spent on the ranch. But I always told
Dick that he was a regular bear."--Chi-

cessfully ride down them astride of

bicycle.
Shields waited until the steps and ap-
proaches were entirely clear of visitors.
and then placing his bicycle at the brink
of the steep incline, swung easily into
the saddle and began the perilous de-
scent. Before reaching the bottom of
the uppermost flight he loet the pedals,
and making no attempt to regain them,
sat rigidly upright in the saddle, his
feet hanging clear of the rapidly re-
volving cranks, holding to the handle
bars with a wise like grip, and his eyes
fastened fixedly on the path at the bot
tom. 1t only lasted for about fifteen
seconds, but the intensity of the strain
increased much more rapidly than the
seconds passed. Gathering momentum
with every foot of the downward pas
sage, the rider seemed to be going as IL
shot out of the mouth Of a canpon. When
he reached the third and last landing,
the velocity of the descent had reached
such a point that he literally leaped
over the final flight of sixteen steps to
the bottom. His wheel did not touch
single one of the steps, but took an on
ward and downward bound for the bot
tom. Then 1t was the few who witnessed

rider over the last flight. He left the
saddle, but rat the bottom wheel and
rider fell in a heap. Shields escaped.
however, without serious bruise. The
wheel which he was riding did not
loosen a bolt or yield at any point under
the strain to which it was put, and aside
from a twisted handle bar, received at
the fall at the bottom, came out Of the
ordeal without a scratch.
Shields seems to have a penchant for
riding down the steps of buildings. He
has been out in Ohio and Kentucky as
tonishing the people in that section with
hie daring feats. Court house steps, city
hall steps and steps to monuments are
his especial delight, and out in Cincin-
natl he even attempted to ride out of a
second story window down a painters
ladder to the street below.-Washingto

Liliuokalani's Voluntary Abdication

And now we are informed that Queen

liquid refreshment. He had asked the
accomplished mining camp bartender for
a Manhattan cocktail. The bartender
laid his "gun" on the plank that served
for counter and very gently said:
Stranger, you'll have whisky, and you'll
take it in a tin cup, and you'll like 1t,

modified his order. Oh, of course, the
