jeot, David ]. Hill, assistant secretary
Of state, who is himself an enthusiastic
wheelman, offers to put the consular
service of the government at the dH-
posal Of the L. A. w. to achieve the
result desired. GAS a wheelman feel
much personal interest in the matter,
writes Secretary Hill, "and would be
obliged If you would draw up series
Of questions such as you would think
suitable to send out to the consular
representatives Of the United States for
the purpose of securing the information
desired. My own experience in Europe
leads me to think that you could easily
compile from these sources general
handbook which would be exceedingly
useful to the American wheelman
while abroad" Chairman Aldrich Is
in further correspondence with the
state department on this subject, and
the suggestion made by Secretary Hill
is likely to be adopted as part of the
plans Of the touring department for
future work. It is probable that a
system of consular reports will be at
once inaugurated.

Cycling Notes.

Cyclists desiring to join the League
of American Wheelmen should make
application to Abbott Bassett, sscre-
tary, Boston, Mass.
Every division of the League of
American Wheelmen provides for the
protection of it's members against
careless or vicious drivers Of other
vehicles, by furnishing legal talent for
the conviction of such persons and for
the recovery OF damages.
The Connecticut division OF the L.
A. w. has just issued a new edition of
its excellent road book, showing all
the roads in the state, topography,
condition and other information val
liable to the cycling tourist. This di-
vision is giving a special cash rebate
to members sending in five or more
applications for membership.
The l.. A. w. consulates in Michi-
gan are showing the greatest activity.
One is preparing for parade ana
| mass-meeting to insist upon having
| better streets; another is engaged in
| building cycle paths to the nearest
cities. and all are working hard for
improved roads. The division has an
| organizer who is also interesting
farmers in the good roads movement.
Over $1,000, 900 has been spent by
| the state of Massachusetts, in the
building of improved highways. All
of this vast sum has been secured from
the legislature through the efforts OF
| the League of American Wheelmen,
and every wheelman riding over them
is indebted to the league for his pleas
ure, yet a large majority OF them are
not members of the organization which
they could assist so materially In this
and other lines OF work.
All the divisions Of the League OF
American Wheelmen situated on the
Canadian border are feeling the effects
of the travel to Canada. Thousands
of wheelmen make trips into the coun-
try across the way every year, and
most of them are members of the l..
A w. This is because OF the agree
ment between the Canadian customs
authorities and the L. A. W., whereby
members of the organization are per-
mitted TO take their wheels across
without the payment Of duty, the sim
nile showing OF their membership cards
being all that is necessary for the free
entry. Many of the border divisions
recruit large memberships because of
this concession, which in itself more
than offsets the cost Of an entire years
membership in the league.

In its efforts to make the touring
department OF the L. A. W. an effec-
tive institution, the national touring
committee is meeting with some val
liable assistance from outside sources.
One OF the most gratifying offers is
that of the department of state at
Washington. Though the touring COM
mittee is in close touch with foreign
touring associations, which keep it in
formed concerning touring matters
abroad, it is very probable that the
league will eventually have a foreign
service Of its own through the assist
ance of the United States government.

Bangkok, the capital of Siam, is va

reveI in comparisons the Venice OF

ASIA" in the first instance because of
the many canals that run through the
city, and in the second because of the
hundreds Of wretched and ownerless

comparisons, writes a recent traveller.
Certainly Bangkok is the home Of the

Sensational stories have emanated
from the "outlaw" press bureau re-
garding "throw-down" which the IN

Wheelmen. The chronicler told how
the 1. c. A. was only playing with the
league, and that some time before the

recognized and the L. A. w. put out OF
business.
Chairman Gerlach of the l.. A. w.

! The rule covering Mr.. Donly's deci-

tries. which championship shall have

The Little Duties.

Do not try to do great thing; you
may waste all your life waiting for
the opportunity, which may never
come But since little things are al
ways claiming your attention, do them
as they come, from a great motive, for
the glory of God, to win his smile and
approval, and to do good to men. 1t
Is harder to p1od on in obscurity, act
ing thus, than to stand on the high
places Of the field, within the view OF
all, and to do deeds of valor at which
rival armies stand still to gaze. To
fulfill faithfully the duties Of your sta
ton, to use to the uttermost the gifts
of your ministry; to bear chatting an
noyances and trivial irritations as mar
tyrs bore the pillory and the stake;
to find the one noble trait in people
that try to modest you; to put the kind
est of construction on unkind acts and
words; to love with the love of God
even the unthankful and evil; to be
content to be a fountain in the midst
of a wild valley Of stones, noufish1ng
a few lichens and wild flowers, or now
and again a thirsty sheep; and to do
this always, and not for the praise of
man, but for the sake of God-this
makes a great 1ife.-Rev. F. B. Meyer.

hand. The curvature Of the brace does
not allow the piece to be held securely
in the wall without clamping it SO
tight that the wall of the tube will be
crushed or kinked.
The utility of the Jig here shown Is
thus obvious. It consists simply OF
two square rods of iron hinged to-
gether at one end and provided with
handles at the other, the completed
tool having much the appearance OF
an ordinary nut-cracker. Three sets
of matching half holes are formed on
the adjacent faces Of the hinged parts.
the notches forming when the tool Is
closed three holes, they being respec-
lively slightly less than 70, u and
Winch in diameter, and so accommo-
dating cross braces of these respective
sizes. When it Is desired to file out
the ends Of brace, the piece is slipped
between the arms Of the holder and
the latter brought together and held
tightly by the handles. Inc holder is
then placed in a wise and olamped Sc
curely. The workman may now file as
much as he wants TO without danger
of in3arang the tubing. The tool will
also be found convenient for making
straight cross-braces from scraps of
tubing.
