The average bicycle rider who rides
purely for pleasure and health will hnd
that for his purpose comparatively low
gear is best. High gears are all very
we'll for trained riders, whose muscles
resemble steel bands, but high gears re-
quire extra power to drive, and the ordi
nary roadman will find that it is easier
to learn to pedal fast than to find more
power A second-rater can easily pedal
mile on home trainer under two min
utes, and it will h found that 63-inch

can be controlled much easier than big
ger gears. Because Johnnie Jones, who
is a trained athlete, can push an SO gear
to victory in short races, is no reason
why the ordinary rider to decide upon a
high gear for his machine. For pace,

But when the time came an agreement
was made and things went along
smoothly. 1t is certainly hoped by ali
that the present trouble will be over
soon as their is a possible chance of th'.
Legislature, which is now in session, al
lowing the present law to remain un-
changed. But should two tracks Operat,.
at the same time in Cecil county, their
attention would undoubtedly be called
and action taken. Then again, those
members Of the Legislature who are OPP
posed to racing, and also the welfare OF
the tradesmen Of EIkton whose business
has improved just about 80 per cent. the
last few years, could argue where the
law was being abused, and the point
would no doubt be strong one.

WANTS TO 'BLOW UP" SPAIN
A Jap Who Tramped From Chicago to
Join the Navy.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-The first Ja-
panese tramp ever seen in this city
was taken by policeman from q fire ght
train bound for New York yester, ".
He said he was Okado Musguymor. "a
years old and a cook. He was DIRE -sed
like q typical American tramp, with
the usual Accomplishments of dirt and
grease.
He was in ST. Louis, he said, when
the Maine blew up in Havana ha, Dor.
and hearing that japanese sailO' Was
among those who lost their live 3. he
determined to enlist in the United
States navy to avenge the death o. bis
countryman. So he threw up his job
in q res taurant, bought q railr( ad
ticket to Chicago, and being then cut
of money beat his way here on freis ht
cars.
When he was arraigned Reccrde r
Odell told MusguymOn that he was
charged with blowing up the Maine.
The Jap almost cried as be declar e6:
'No! No! Me not do him. Me want
blow up Spain. Me want know what
for me brought in policemen's big
house?"
Then the judge laughed, and the
Jap. seeing that the court was jol ing,
brushed away his tears. The officers
gave him his breakfast and took up q
collection to pay his fare to New York.
