A LEGLESS BICNCLER.
He seems to Enjoy Himself md Can
Manage His Wheel without Trouble

From the Kansas City Journal
James Jump, the son of the Rev. Albert
Jump of Independence, Kan, met with an
accident Il years ago which deprived him
of both of his legs. A stump was left.
however. He secured an artificial leg and
attached it to the remnant of a limb, fast
ening ii close up to the thigh. For several
years past, although getting many a fall.
he has manage to plod along with the
balance of the world. and seems as happy
and contented as some people with two
legs.
Young Mr. Jump recently became seized
with a desire to ride a bicycle and scorch
as other boys do The idea grew with
him, and at last he bought a wheel. He
had witnessed venturesome feats of one
legged bicycle riders, but he was in doubt
as to whether a young man with no legs
at all TO speak of could sit half astride a
wheel and make ii go.
With crutches in hand and with artificial
limb dangling down he proceeded to mount.
There Was no spring or bound into the sad
die, but he led his rubber tired steed up
TO the cGrbstone and with a side motion
which was made easy by the absence of
his leg he was in the saddle. His crutah
he fastened in a spring catch on the side
where his leg ought to be. and by dex-
ferrous movement the artificial limb was
lifted to the single pedal and he started
off. He quickly learned TO ride. Now he
understands the art of balancing nicely
and can go at almost any speed desired
Mr.. Jump can ascend an ordinary sized hill
and can go down with equal ease but Is
not ready yet to attempt a heavy grade
either up or down.
When he is ready to alght, he brings
the Nheei to standstill then throws his
weight toward the side on which his ar
ulicial leg hangs, and drops to the ground
with the case of an experienced bicycle
rider. and just as gracefully. The bicycle
forms support on the side lacking a leg:
the crutch is taken from its moorings and
the old method OF locomotion is brought
into play.

GLUTToNY's PENALTY.
Lives That Arc Shortened by the Pleasures
of tho Table,

In spite Of the warnings and COM
mands of family physicians, in spite of
the many examples of shortened lives
and lives of suffering, men will yield
to the seductiveness of the pleasures of
the table. The spectacle of the man
who overeats or who deliberately eats
improper food is common enough, but
rarely do wo see as plain evidence of
the admiration for the glutton which
certain people possess as that which the
daily papers some time ago afforded. A
we'll known boniface died at an age
when he ought to have been enjoying
robust and vigorous health. Some slight
mention was made of his business ven
lures, of his daily life, of his reason for
living. But all this part Of his exist
ence was immateiral and uninteresting.
Tho great and praiseworthy features Of
his life seem to have been gastronomic
feats and general ability to eat and
drink enormously. He was Landed as
the prince of bon vivants, the man who
could eat huge dinner and shortly
thereafter swallow brace Of broiled
Holsters and couple of Welsh rabbits,
washed down with copious libatiops of
vintages or distillages or fermentages.
During his last illness, when his ply
sicians enjoined rest in bed and scru-
pulously careful diet. we read that he
was game enough to dress and go out
on the hotel porch to sit, winding up
his imprudence (and incidentally his
life) with Il hearty meal, in defiance OF
the medical directions. This last piece
of bravado was apparently considered
by certain newspaper reporters as an
achievement tit to rank with victory
on battlefield, and the glutton was adj
miringly mentioned as though he were
a brilliant and fearless hero, risking
his life i'll worthy cause.
The newspapers were not creating a
sentiment, but merely catering to ono
already formed in thus aiding gluttony.
The only conclusion wo can draw is
that the epicurean philosophy still has
its cult, and that many mans motto
is, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow
we die" Tho case is left to the moral
