sUBDUING THE BICYCLE.
Mental and Physical Struggles % tho
Man Who Learned Late.

SIan Who Learned Late.
From the Kansas City Star: Ac-
companying the other harbinger of
spring, the robin, the game of marble
in the alley, the tan shoe, comes the
learner on the bicycle. The cool, brac-
ing air of an evening and the long
stretches of smooth roadway tempt
him, and in his minds eye he pictures
spins into the country, healthful, in
vorgating exercise and an appetite like
that Of a plowman. But above all he
is impelled to learn by dread of be-
ing considered a faddist. All of his
friends ride. Already he imagines they
look upon him askance and speak of
him as a sort of Philip Noland-a man
without wheel. For six successive
seasons he has held out against the
temptation and now he curses himself
for his pains. Why didn't he learn
then, when everybody was learning, in
stead of postponing the ordeal until
now, when all are past masters in the
art? So he may be seen every fine
evening upon the level, asphalt paved
side streets struggling to subdue an un-
tanned steed of the patents of '95, which
costs him Is cents an hour, with a 81
indemnity against breakage All this
is gall and wormwood to the modest
man. Not that he cares for the knocks
and bruises. He would gladly double
their number could he but escape the
prying eyes, the derisive outlaws and
half-suppressed singers of the men
and women who have passed through
it all years, years before. For these
reasons he is a creature Of apprehen-
sion and agony After discovering the
fallacy of the theory that the art can
be acquired in back kitchen with the
curtains drawn he remembers par
ticularly unfrequented side street, lined
with trees that help to obscure the
light of moon and lamps. He takes off
the handle bars of his machine to give
the impression that the machine is out
of order and that he is on his way with
it to the repair shop. This furnishes
him with an excuse for not riding.
Then he sallies forth, leading his
wheel. The unfrequented by-street is
and tacks back to the windward side,
like a yacht, and beats and maneuvers
and hauls down his halyards and
reeves the pinnacle and so on and final
ly he heaves to in front of livery
stable, which he goes through till he
reaches the alley and then by sud-
den port movement he energies trem-
bling and demoralized upon the dark.
ened thoroughfare. OF course, every
body stops to watch him tangle him
self in his wheel. They gather in little
groups along the driveway, and when
he falls and appears about to slide, BIZ

sewer, they can between spasms Of ILL
timed mirth tender him assistance 1t
is we'll to leave him at such a time as
this to settle with the man from whom
he rented the bicycle and with his
Maker.
