THE EXPERIENCE OF A REVEREND
WHEELMAN.
CDR. j. M Buckley in the Christian Ad.

I took many lessons, and tried in vain
to mount; sometimes l leaped over the
machine and lighted on the handle bars,
again upon the rear wheel. One day l
discharged the instructor and devoted
myself to mastering the machine. At the
twenty seventh effort I mounted and
rode away for seven miles should still
be trying to mount had not broken the
spell. During my struggles I was the
cause of poetry in an alumnus of Yale
University, who saw me wobbling along
upon rough road, and describing every
form of motion, and thus his muse por-
trayed my state and pointed a moral:
"Though wheels for thinking beings are
designed,
To ride wheel requires more than mind !;
For thoughtless folly may more graceful
And look than reverend reason on a
wheel"
After all, it takes less trouble to learn
this than to learn to walk. The real
difficulty is psychological. The infant
learning to walk neither remembers nor
fears his falls; he has no rules to cOmmi
to memory, nor any calculations to make:
Moreover, owing to limited amount OF
mineral matter in his bones, 1t makes
very little difference whether he falls or
not; while the adult, in learning to ride
upon the bicycle has to consider that a
header" may be fatal, that q broken arm
or leg may detain him from the business
on which his living depends
Not till the machinery ceases to require
attention can one be happy on the Wheel

Assistant Secretary Howell has Just re-
turned from tour of inspection of the

trip he said he found the conditions in the

Tor their cattle AMI other stock, the banks
have an abundance of money, labor is well
employed and the people generally are con-
tented and feel that they are entering upon
an era of prosperity that promises to be
lasting.
Mr. Howell attended the trans Mississippi
exposition, which he says is a great sue
cess from every point o. view. The exposi-
ton Is one of which the people Of Omaha
may justly be proud, ana it will certainly
be financial success. He says that the
average daily attendance is about l6 600
Inc government exhibit is particularly fine
and Is favorably commented upon by every
one who attends the exposition. The naval
ana war exhibits are especially attractive
at this time, and every day large crowds
are seen in the governm nt building exam
ing these exhibits.

Generals Bates and Sumner Report al
the War Department.

Major Generals Bates and Sumner, who
were prominent in the Santiago campaign,
reported at the War Department today.
They are expecting new assignments under
the arrangement which is under contempla
ton for the reorganization of the army.
They conferred with Gen. Miles regarding
new duties They have been at Montauk.
The breaking up of the camp there leaves
many officers unassigned and without duty.
Gen. Miles has been very busy on the
plan OF Encouragement, but 1t has not yet
reached a point which enables any definite
information to be given as to where troops
or officers will go.
1t is almost settled that Gen. Shafter
will return to San Francisco and resume
command Of the department of California.
Such is his desire. and it will no doubt be
complied with.
The probability that a number of general
and staff volunteer officers will be dis
charged has caused considerable discussion
among those who may be among the num-
Der. Most of these officers desire to re-
main in the service. and influence Is al
ready being brought to bear to keep them
from being dropped
