LINTON BEATS MICHAEL
AND BREAKS RECORDS

NEW YORK. July 16-For the second
time this year Jimmy Michael, the oncein-
vincible paced bicyclist, was forced to drink
the bitter cup of defeat. His old school
mate In Wales; Tom Linton, was the one
to lower MichaeIs record. and at the
same time he broke the worlds record foi
the distance. Linton accomplished the
feat in a twenty-mile paced race at Man.
haitian Beach, in the presence Of 5000
people. For four miles it was pretty
race, Michael leading by a few yards.
Suddenly Michaers tire collapsed. Nat
urally, Linton passed him, and, after rid
ing two laps of the fifth mile, Michael
stopped and pedaled slowly to his cor
ner." where he changed his damaged
wheel for new one. In the meantime
Linton kept going like the wind and be-
fore Michael came back on the track he
was one mile ahead
When Michael left the track he was
greeted with storm of Kisses. 1t GER
tainly appeared like a case of quit, as
Michael could have changed his wheel
and resumed his place behind his pace
makers with scarcely the loss of half a
lap had he tried to do 80.
Michael met with. another slight draw
back on entering his tenth mile, when
Michael let up there was little interest In
the race outside of Unions efforts to
reduce the record. Although he tried haro
he could add no new figures until the fir
teenth mile, when he. started in by clip
ping 1-5 seconds off the record.
He continued ahead Of the record every
mile until the finish, breaking the twenty
mile record by exactly seven seconds. He
could have made better time had he not
lost his pacemakers while rounding for
the last lap
Not content with the result, Michael at
once challenged Linton for another race
at twenty-five miles. Linton accepted
and the race will be run at Manhattan
Beach track on Saturday next.

that special forest agents have elected

now on that reserve. Secretary Bliss has
heretofore requested the detail of troops

received concerning the invasion of sheen
men, and special inspector was sent to
take charge of the parks, and were SUBJ
sequently designated acting superintend-
ents. with directions to employ from ten
to twenty-four men as assistant forest
agents. These men have succeeded In
ejecting the sheep. The Secretary of War
has also detailed an officer and ten men
Of the Utah Volunteer Cavalry to patrol

told to report to the acting. superintend-
ent for instructions, and it is hoped that
by their assistance the destruction of the
forests by fire may be prevented. The In
terror Department has used every effort
in it's power to protect these parks.

rise TO the full measure Of his power,
only once did sTartarin" become
wholly serious and possessed Of great
creative purpose, only once did Dau-
Diet entirely sacrifice the PrOvencal to
the artist; that was when he wrote
''Sappho." Then he gave the world
his best; reserving nothing, hesitating
at nothing. 1t is through that book
that he will live.
One of the saddest and most cruel
episodes in Daudet's life occurred
shortly after the death of his friend
and fellow-noveliSt, TOurgueneff. The
great Russian novelist had been ranked
as one of Daudet's warmest admirers
had spent days at his house, been tend
ed by him in his last illpess. Yet
when his Memories were published he
expressed i'm them the heartiest con-
tempt for Daudet, both as an artist
and a man. Worse than all, he called
him openly liar. The NEST painful
part Of it was that Daudet could not
fatty deny the latter assertion. Like
his cOuntrymen of the South, like
Gambetta, he saw the world through
an opera glass. unconsciOusly magni-
fed trivial details. He exaggerated.
not because his sense of truth was
less than that OF other men, but be-
cause his sense of mental vision was
more fervid. Yet all his friends knew
that his heart was true as gold. He
knew his own weakness. had made
the confession of himself and his
cOuntrymen. i'm ''Nnuma .ROumestan."
But ali this was wasted on the cold
bloOded stOlidity of the Slav. Daudet
never sought to revenge himself upon
the dead. The men Of the South are
truer of heart than of tongue. He
wrote one of the most tender and ap-
preciative critiques Of Turguenef
ever published. OF Turgueneff's
treachery he merely said: Il can see
him i'm my house. at my table, gentle.
affectionate, kissing my children,
have yet many exquisite warm-heart-
ed letters from him. And this was
what lay concealed behind that kindly
smile Good Heavens! how strange
