John Nelson of the Chicago Cycling
club, winner of the 00~-kilometer amateur
championship of the world at Montreal, has
made up his mind to cast his lot with
the professionals under the watchful eye Of
Dave Shaier, the man who made Michael,
and before the season is over he will meet
the stars in a series Of middle-distance con-
tests. Shafer is greatly impressed with Nell
sons riding and thinks he can make him
an even better man than the diminutlve
Michael. When Shafer first took hold of
Michael the Welshman could not follow pace
any better than the ordinary middle-dis-
lance man. Dave worked hard with him
and before Jimmy left to join the horses
Shafer had him the undisputed champion.
Michael never rode thirty miles in an hour,
while Nelson did thirty-one and one-half
and kept it up for two hours. He has not
found pace too hot for him, and at Mon
treal, when he smashed all amateur records,
and beat the time Of the professionals by
ten minutes, he was constantly calling for
more pace.

Professional cycle racers are seriously con-
sidering an invasion of Mexico. For several
weeks the matter has been talked OF by the
circuit chasers, and all the cracks express
a willingness to make the trip, providing a
certain number of Journeys are assured
them. Among the riders who will form the
party, If the trip is made, are Tom Cooper,
Earl Kiser, A. S. Kimble. Floyd Mcfarland
and o. S. Stevens. Meets are not infrequent
in Mexico, and American racers have al
ways been well treated by the patrons OF
the sport in that country. Several years a
contingent OF New York flyers made a tour
of Mexico, and returned with a fair collec-
ton of silver dollars. AS the Mexican race
controlling body is favorable to the National
Cycling association, the pros will find no
difficulty in obtaining recognition.

The threatened disagreement between the
League Of American Wheelmen and the
Canadian Wheelmen's association early in
the season has been amicably settled, and
the two organizations are not only in ac-
cord now, but are working each for the
interest of the other. Among the plans for
the benefit OF the two organizations is a
development OF mutual touring and other
privileges and a better arrangement for
carrying on the work in which the two or
CARNATIONS are almost identical. The Cana
dian Wheelmen's association has also been
made a party to the arrangement between
the League OF American Wheelmen and the
Cyclists Touring club OF England, thus
making the two American associations
closely affiliated in international touring.

Those Sin the know" believe that Jimmy
Michael will ride a bicycle this winter.
The t~aciturn midget will not say so, but his
denials are not very vehement. The belief
is based on the fact that Michael has prac-
tically given up horse racing and is living
in retirement in New York. He is fond of
indoor racing and, being Of a thrifty turn
of mind, realizes the possibility OF financial
gain In his temperance. Should Michael
return to his first love he will find many
eager to give him battle. Elkes would
appreciate nothing more than a series of
matches with Michael, the only crack that
he has never met. A matchLor two out OF
three-between the Welsh Rarebit and the
Glen Falls shadow would fill Madison Square
Garden, 1t is thought, and lovers OF racing
are eagerly anticipating the time when
these two cycle kings will meet again.
A piece of ingenuity on the part of a rider
was witnessed recently at a railroad sta
tion and the account of 1t should furnish a
suggestion for all riders who experience a
similar misfortune. The wheelman's lamp
bracket had been broken in the baggage
car In such q manner that 1t was useless.
The rider pondered awhile, then obtained a
piece of middling stout wire about four
teen inches long and proceeded to remedy
matters. He first doubled the wire in the
middle. then wrapped the free ends about
the handlebar stem and twisted them
tightly together. This was done in such
a manner as to leave the doubled end pro-
jecting backward TOWARD the saddle. This
end he twisted a little. then brought 1t
up over the top OF the handfebar and bent
it again 80 that the loop stood perpen-
dicular like the regulation wire lamp
brasket. With another piece of wire he
dashed this improvised bracket so that 1t
could not shift sideways. then adjusted his
lamp and went his way.
Unless he alters his present plans, Charley
Miller, the worlds champion long distance
cyclist, will compete in no more six-day
races. He has found the present outdoor
season OF paced work profitable, and be.
rieves he can make money in the winter
without undergoing the deprivations OF an
all-week grind. He proved last Monday
that he has the speediest motor cycle in
the country, and this insures him plenty
Of engagements from pace followers. He has
shown that he is a capable pace follower
himself, and before another season is over
he may be able to beat the best OF them
at the middle -distance game.
Mr.. Edward North Buxton, an English
man, is at present bicycling with his
daughter along the high road to Uganda,
which is now good enough through most
OF its course to make an adequate bicycling
track. In one Of his letters home he de-
scribes an amusing adventure. AS Mr.. Bux
ton and his daughter were riding along,
they found that a ZION had taken up a posi-
tiou right across the track. People with

According to experts the neglect OF bear
ings Is a prolific source OF injury to bicycles.
A loose bearing causes extra friction and
extra strain. The machine runs badly and
wears out much more quickly. An overnight
bearing is almost as bad. A bearing should
Ue adjusted until there is absolutely no
side play. The act OF securing the nuts,
however, sometimes overtightens the bear
ing, and for this reason the wheel should
be spun after the nuts have been frightened.
II the wheel stops at all suddenly 1t is a
sign that the bearing is overnight, and 1t
should be simply slackened, .

THOSE TAPPINGs on THE WALL.

I noticed in your last issue
A dandy little rhyme,
Where Billy and his friend U. x.
Passed through trying time.
NY sympathy arose at once,
knew just how they felt,
I've been that road SO many times,
And by the same means dealt.
Well, =. X, ycu and Billy both
Still must be very young
For this to be your first call off
While out to have some fun.
I do believe that could point
To places in this land,
Where the walls are bruised from side
to side
Like footprints in the sand.
Was very much surprised indeed
That YOU both took the bldes,
Revealing secrets Of that night
By putting it as news.
Like you at first I took it to heart,
And always cleared the hall.
But have long since been accustomed
to
These tappings on the wall.
I know you thought it was spook
Just inside of the hall;
No danger of your getting hurt
BY tappiDgs on the wall.
You've heard them once, will hear
them again,
Not everywhere you call;
Take my advice and bid adieu
BY tappings on the wall.
Boys, if these girls you love that
much,
just make another call,
Then if you leave in time you'll find
No tappiDgs on the wall.

INVESTMENT Us. EXPENSE.

Mr.. Editor: I notice in your issue OF
this morning a mention Of water
works for the town. It is emiusntl7
proper to have the matter discussed !;
others should join you and the dis
cussion should not end till they are
completed. But with your permis-
sion, should like to change the word
"e1pense" in the phrase, sat the e1-
pense of the taxpayers" to Investment.
The success Of every such undertaking
depends upon whether people consider
it The one or the other. AS long as
they look at it as an expense, it IS a
dead issue; az soon as they consider it
an Investment, it takes on life and be-
comes q living reality. Such an enter
prise is purely and wholly an invest
ment; it is as free from the element
OF expense az any other Investment.
If town issues $4,000 in bonds for
plant for water works aud electric
lights, it is an investment aud most
paying one. 1t differs from an invest
ment in factory stock or bonds in that
its dividends always come indirectly,
but they come no less surely and on
an ever increasing scale. Many Of
the interior towns of this State-some
no larger than this-have made SINH
lar Investments aud have pronounced
them success. Winnsboro would
do we'll 10 initiate their example; the
matter is we'll worthy Of immediate
consideration.
Very we'll do remember when the
ground was first broken for the wafer
works of Spartanburg. 1t was at the
beginning Of tnat city's rapidly in
creasipg prosperity. A few days
after, a twelve-year-old boy, at the
house where I was boarding, came in
from school and with unbounded joy
announced the fact that Spartanburg
was to have a great female college.
The water works wtre completed !;
Converse College came; factories fol-
lowed; and the Spartanburg town of
$500 ten years ago is to-day a small
city OF more than 10000 and with
