HELD AN ACCIDENT POLICY.
A Cyclists Disgust at Not Being Hurt
in a Collision.


This is the story of a somewhat unusual
accident. 1t happened on the Conduit road
one evening early in the fall, and the man
who told me about it was an eyewitness.
1t is sngularly appropriate, by the way,
that he should be an eyewitness, Tor he is
an oculst by profession. A man on bi-
cycle was scorching cheerily along on thewa
to town, when suddenly there loomed up
out of the darkness in front of him heavy
wagon and team headed straight for him;
There was no time to turn out. The wheel
crashed into the wagon pole. and the rider
was thrown completely over the horses, fall
ing between them and the wagon. The ocu
list ran to the rescue, expecting to see
limp mass of bleeding and unconscious hu,
manity. Instead, he saw kicking ana
swearing person who was apparently unin,
jured The bicycle was Chinese puzzle oil
twisted wire.
Are you hurt?" asked the oculist.
The swearing person picked himself up
and stopped swearing. He, gazed at what
had once been fair young bicycle. :,
"Hurtl" he said in a tone of deepest dis
gust. Hurt? Me? OF course ain hurt.
I've got an accident policy. y.'-Washington

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.

IT is said that the President has fixed
upon the 18th of October for the evac-
uation Of Cuba by the Spanish to begin,
and that it must all be completed
before December 1st. That is giving
the ugly Spaniard too much rope. The
President is wise, prudent and patriotic
in his action, but while we approve it,
a growl must be permitted in satisfac-
tion Of the feeling that these litigious
fellows have been too mercifully dealt
with, if their full offending is taken into
account
The refusal Of Blanco to admit the
relief supplies of the Red Cross So
ciety without payment Of enormous
customs duties is simply infamous. He
is clinging to brief authority with the
tenacity Of nature that has the leaven
of but little charity in it. Blanco is
playing for time and for money. The
first he gets through the generosity Of
a magnanimous foe, the second he
ought not to wiring from the food of
benevolence, sent out in mercy to the
happy Cuba,
Blanco ought to be told that these
supplies must go in duty free, and if
he still declines to accede, they ought
to be taken in despite his protest.
Human misery is crying out to us;
human beings, dying by inches,
piteously appeal for food and salvation
from the pangs Of starvation; but the
grizzled, hard-hearted, fat and lusty
Spaniard lifts his hand and demands
the pound Of flesh.
1t is exasperating, irritating, unen-
durable. On top of all this here comes
the so-called Colonial Government of
Cuba and demands" that it shall have
part in shaping the terms of evacua-
tion. The Colonial Government, for
sooth Did not 1t expire with the sur
render Of all authority in Cuba by the
power which, created it?
Just before the war broke out Spain
set UP this dummy as shield behind
which 1t could carry on its infamies
and continue its policy Of herding and
starving the reconcentrados. None but
the five Spanish officers at it's head and
the Spanish sympathizers in its two
houses Of legislation have had anything
to do with it. The Cuban people have
given 1t no countenance. It was refused
recognition by the United States. Even
France with her sympathies for Spain
unconcealed did not have the effrontery
to recognize and deal with it. The
Pope alone smiled upon it, and then it
proceeded to do nothing but serve as
cat's-paw for the Captain General of
Cuba.
It will not be given even hearing by
our commission in Cuba; 1t Is entitled
to no consideration whatever; it was a
farce in the beginning, it is pitiable
thing now.
The one chief essential is for the
Spanish troops and officials to get out
of Cuba quickly; the next is the open
ing of the Cuban ports to the white
winged messengers Of charity, that the
starving may be fed and the women
and children dying in the cutters may
be rescued

wholesome food is necessary to per-
feet training, and l do not think that a
man should deny himself a thing sim
ply because it tastes good. Beef and
mutton are good for the meat end of
the diet, and eggs and fish may be
eaten occasionally. l think that it
does more harm continually to deny a
man something which he really Graves
than it does to let him eat it. Pastry
should be forbidden, that is, pies and
most kinds Of cake and puddings. Plain
cake and puddings, such as rice, bread
and tapioca, may be eaten. A man in
training digests things which would
trouble him ordinarily. He should
have as much water as he wants, but
do not believe in the use Of beer or
liquors. Alcoholic beverages are some
times given to a man when he is over

only a small amount of butter should

English cyclists are interested in an
elastic steel chain for bicycles, recently
patented in England. Each link is so
shaped that it's ordinarily curved length
straightens slightly under the stress
caused by pedaling. When the pull
ceases or is lightened the links shorten
to their original curvature. Among
the claims Of the inventor is that the
elasticity of this chain compensates
for the inequalities of the road and
variations of foot pressure, and thus
more constant driving force is as
sured.
A st. Louis inventor has patented an
odd bicycle product which he confident
ly claims will go a mile a minute. The
saddle is placed at the end Of an oscil
lating lever, and the rider by ''teeter-
ing" UP and down sets in motion a
train of mechanism acting upon the
rear hub
The mounting of police on bicycles Is
slowing spreading. Captain Munro,
Inspector of Police for Scotland, speaks
greatly in favor of it in his annual re-

Grace Of position while riding goes
with easy-running qualities. The two
are inseparable. Ride the wheel that
is built with some idea as to what your
needs are, and you cannot fail to ap-
pear to advantage in the eyes Of an
observing public.
A hint as to the polishing of nickel
plating on a machine after cleaning
with oil is well worth attention. A
little SCOT applied with soft cloth will
give an excellent polish. 1t is also
useful to clean the lamp refectors and
glass.

taken but very few hundred tons Of
