At q recent meeting of the twenty

ican flag and their country's honor IA
need be. He said that the negro formed
part of this great country, and any
thing that was for the good of the coun-
try should interest every man Of his
race.
In the last war" he said, I'VE went
in. as slaves and came out as frsemen,
and today we enter the conflict side by
side with the white men of the north
and south, and we will alike bc benefit

cyalIsts. One place where riders wait ss-
cry day for others and wonder whether the
ones they seek have gone on or have not
yet arrived Is the rest outside OF Prospect
park at the head OF tho cyclic path. Cyclers
can DO seen waiting there foe as long as
half an hour and leaving reluctantly with
the fear that the friend they seek will
come along. They look mt the granite
posts and at the dark painted Cycle racks
and wish there was some way TO leave a
message telling their friends that they
have been there and loft at such and such
time to 90 In certain direction. Some
Of the bright boys who hang arcund these
places and choose to run O registry book,
charging small fec for each entry, should
be able to make q fairly good thing of 1t.
The idea of registry book for cyclists
has been tried In a half hearted way by
one or two hotel men, and, SO far as they
went they were we'll patronized. The
trouble was the books were In an out of
the way place and comparatively few rid
ers ever learned OF their existence. No
sign was displayed notifying any person
of the convenience, and the custom never
became general. The idea of having such
books everywhere Is strongly advocated.
The objection has been made to 1t that
some persons do not care to write their
names at public house. These objectors,
say the advocates of the scheme. do not
grasp 10 properly. Initials. nicknames or
prcarrnngcd aliases would serve, the point
being that the books are not to be kept for
the benefit OF the hotel or the curious pub
lie, but solely for the convenience of rid
ers. With the adoption OF aliases or In
itials 1t would also be entirely possible for
one to tell only those whom no wanted
should know IL that he was out and going
to stated place. Those using the books
could thus escape being followed and over
taken by persons whom they did not care
to meet.

mobilization scheme, be is lucky to
have any dinner at all. More than like
ly he is muncbing crackers and drinking
lukewarm coffee. Troops In course Of
transportation are hard to reach, espe-
cially az they most frequently travel on
special trains which are run ON no stat
cd schedule. Charlie may be laid of on
some siding 90 or 80 miles from any
agent of the quartermaster general or
he may be on troop transport with
many miles of water between him and

Should Charlie be fortunate enough
to have reached regularly established

that will taste as good as home cooking
In case he Is on the march the meal
will be less elaborate. hut Charlie will
not be particular. He will have an ap-
petite that will transform the simplest
fare into dainty viands.
This problem Of feeding an army is
big and intricate one. It has all been
studied out. however, BY men who have
made science Of it, and we have only
to look ON and wonder at how Is is

quantities of staples such as soldiers

chief of these staples, and they. make
up the larger part Of Charles bill Of

The war has materially affected the sale
of bicycles. A New York dealer says that
no business has been injured moro than
the cycle trade by the uncertain condition
of matters concerning Cuba. 1t has been
an everyday occurrence Tor. several weeks
for man to come In, look over whools
and almost reach the point of buying, and
then defer the purchase "for a few days
because he was q member Of a regiment
and might be called out. 1t Is said that
the sales Of high grade wheels have suf
fered most during this period OF uncer-
tainty because Of the fact that national
Ruardsmen usually buy that class of cycles
The utility of the wheel In actual warfare
Is az yet problematic and the wilds of
Cuba may not be a suitable field for prac-
ticaI tests. That the bicycle is recognized
as an implement Of war, however, Is dem
onetrated by the attention given to tho
subject IN the United States and Europe.
The extending use Of cycles In military
maneuvers has induced the German mill
tary authorities 20 put themselves In
position to defeat the onslaught Of attack

end they are training dogs to distinguish

Hence the tobacco was added. The man
who does not use tobacco would find no
trouble In "swapping of" his tobacco
to some other man who did use it for
an equal amount Of something to eat.
Experience during the civil war proved
this point fully.
During the past summer several prao-
tice marches were made by regular
troops throughout the country. ON which
marches the command lived for FIVE
days On this ration, and, while the men
would not choose this form Of food, ex.
