the funeral of his mother near the Rising
Sun, about TWO weeks ago, had quite an
adventure, the tunnel on the New River
Roadi West Virginia, having fallen in,
and the passengers had to walk four miles
over the high mountains which abound in
that locality, To add to his discomfort,
he volunteered to carry the baby for lady
ney's end, 1t felt as though it weighed $50
pounds.
Luckily he got through safely and next
day was all right. We think the railroad
company should present him souvenir
OF some kind,as reward for his galantry

New York, Dec. GA formal call
signed by more than one hundred
prominent cyclists in all parts of the
country has been issued in the interest
of the formation of a National patriotic
organization of wheemen to send a
team of American riders TO Europe to
compete IN the worlds championship
which will be decided during August
in Vienna.
The greatest cycling organizations of
the world are affiliated i'm one coalition
known as the International Cyclists
association. 1t was the league of
American Wheemen which organized
this Internationl association and the
first worlds meeting was held IN Chi
cago In 1898. In that year and at fol-
lowing contests American riders
carried off their share Of the cham
pionshps, but for the last two years
the greatest cycling country In the
world has not been represented.
1t is to give the riders of the United
States their due In this regard and to
uphold American interests in cycling
abroad that this organization, which
will be composed principally of news
papermen, VIII try to do what the
league of American Wheelmen and
other cyclists have failed to accom-
plish. 1t is intended that only the best
amateurs and professionals will repres-
ent the United states and the funds
derived from preliminary meets will
be sufficient to pay the expenses of the
tenn
