The niotor-Cycle,

+ 1t is generally conceded by experts
that few motor cycles will be used as
pacing machines this year, because in
recent races the motorcycle has shown
Il tendency to get out of order at an
important stage of the race. and for
this reason riders are somewhat afraid
to ride behind the big machines for fear
of an accident. The motorcycle, how
ever, when used, will be seen on tracks
only In exhibition races. Their use in
record trials does not seem possible,
unless the racing rules of the League
Of American Wheelmen are changed.
Under the present conditions records
must be made with human pace In
order to be acceptable. Fournier, the
French inventor who introduced the
motorcycle as pacemaker, claims
that he will soon introduce machine
that can be driven fast enough to cover
a mile In less than ene and half min
utes and that there will be no fear of
a breakdown.

Effect of Wheeling on the Heart.

DR.. Schott, of Nauhem, Germany,
who has devoted considerable time to
the study of bicycling from hygienic
point of view, gives these facts as the
result of his studies:
Bicycling, Just as mountain climb
Ing, accelerates the action Of the heart,
and thus quickens the pulse. This nat
urally tends to enlarging the heart
during action, a process which during
rest takes u backward turn, and the
vital organ resumes its natural state.
by violence, or, say, excessive exer-
else on the wheel, when the pulse
beats ut 140 per minute, the conditions
change. The expansion of the heart
does not fall back to the normal, as is
best proved by the fused up" look of
the cycle racers after a tournament.
Should this strained exercise continue
the enlargement of the heart continues
with 1t, and fatal results are inevita-
BILE
The older the wheelman the easier
do the muscles of the heart assume
undue proportions, and, the arteries
becoming less elastic with age, the life
of such man Is greatly endangered.
There Is certain note in breathing
which Is an infallible warning with
turner's and climbers, which, however
very often fails Its purpose with the
cycler, for in his case the great
draught used by his runs supplies him
with more oxygen than is necessary.
All these things should be taken In
due consideration by ardent wheel
men. Bicycling as an exercise should
be taken only by persons whose heart
and lungs are in the hest M tural pon-
dition.

putcs, and entire communities laughed
the courts to scorn. The young district
attorney went at his work with great
courage. He sent a dozen OF the most
notorious outlaws to prison. The rest
fled from the state, and such was his
fame as n relentless pursuer Of law
breakers that he was elected attorney
general of Texas in 1856 and again in
1888 on an anti-railroad and anti-mo.
nopoly platform.
HIS STORMY CAREER.
Now began the really stormy period
of Mr.. Hogg's career. He fought the
railroads and he fought them to a finish.
He recovered thousands Of acres of land
that belonged to the state. Texas was
very lawless. And many district attor-
neys were afraid to do their duty while
the courts were paralyzed. He made a
proclamation, that at once became
famous, that he would purge Texas Of
lawlessness and crime or he would
bankrupt the state treasury. There was
a man in Texas who boosted that no
power could punish him. He had killed
sixteen men. Mr.. Hogg addressed him
self to his case. He had the outlaw
indicted on twelve counts. He tried the
case in person and convicted him on
every one of the counts. A life SEN
tence followed. This case led to Mr..
Hogg's nomination for governor in 1890
and he was elected by 100000 majority
As governor, Mr. Hogg inaugurated a
war on trusts, monopolies, railroads,
banks and insurance companies. He
got after the Standard Oil Company,
and for time drove it out of the state
Vested capital took alarm and resolved
to crush him. An attempt to defeat
him for denomination failed in 1902, and
George Clarke, of Dallas, was nominated
as an independent candidate. The Re
publicans gave him support and he was
voted for by the negroes, whom he had
promised to protect their rights.
THE GREAT CAMPAIGN.
The campaign tried Hogg as few men
have been tried. He was abused, SLAM
dered and ridiculed in his own party.
The press of the state was solid against
him. Every corporate institution in
the state was back of the movement.
Every financial power in the United
States joined in. Texas was overrun
by agents of railroads, banks, trusts
and mortgage companies. His name
was used in ribald and impolte ways.
His administration was called the
"Hogg" blight. 1t was said he had
named his children lima" and "Ura, -
the same being baseless sander.
Texas never saw such a fierce campaign.
Its progress was closely watched all
over the United States. Mr.. Hogg was
reelected by $4,000 majority. Henry
NJ. Flagler never went into Texas while
this man was governor.
These are just few OF the things
that can be told about James Stephen
son Hogg, of Texas, who took command
Of Tammany Hall for few minutes on
July 4.

Sheridan at the Milliner's.

General Sheridan as he became older
conquered his shyness. At the time Of
the commune he was in Paris with his
aid-de-camp. There was also stopping
at the same hotel a charming American
woman with whom he was slightly ac-
quainted. The prisoners had been liber-
ated and were rushing madly through
the streets. The order had also been
given that all windows and shutters
must be kept closed. Shut up in her
dark room and hearing the noisy rabble
below, the woman became greatly
alarmed.
"There is but one thing for me to
do" she cried, "to insure safety. Twill
put myself under the care of the Ameri-
can general"
She therefore sent her card to Sheri-
dan, who at once called and offered his
services. He also advised that she should
join his party in the morning and get
away to London. Still she appeared dis
tressed. Finally she cried: "It is my
bonnets at Virot's. They were to have
been down today. How can I go and
leave them?"
The general grasped the situation and
offered his arm to escort her to the mil
liners. Happily it was not far off.
Ever afterward he delighted to tell Of
his pleasure at seeing such al array Of
dainty headgear. He had never been at
a milliner's before. New York Sun.

She'd rather, yes, rather, far rather, be dead.

Than be some horrid mans humble slave.

For a wife must be petted and pampered and

Still More Counterfeiting.

The secret service has mearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
II large quantity of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the aver
age person would never suspect them of
being spurious. Things of great value
are always selected by counterfeiters
for imitation, notably the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators, but no equal for in
digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
onsnes and general debility. The
Bitters sets things right in the shom-
ach, and when the stomach is in good
order it makes good blood and plenty OF
it. In this manner the Bitters get at
the seat Of strength and vitality, and
restore yigor to the weak and debili-
tated. Beware of connterfeits when
buying.
