FROM WINNIPEG ON a WHEEL
Mr.. j, Z. Mosley, a Printer, Makes
the Trip in 81 Days, on a
Wheel.

Mr. ]. E. Mosley, who at one time
was recognized as a printer in this
city, and who tired of type setting
some three years ago, lett the city
and drifted about over the country
until he landed in Winnipeg, Minn.
Here he turned harvester and
worked in the grain fields until he
tired, and remembering Texarkana
and the home he left, made up his
mind to return.
He thought it would be novel to
make the trip on a bicycle, and
purchasing one he started home.
Before he left he placed a
cyclometer on his wheel that
he might know what dis
tances he was covering each day
out, and also the total distance
from Texarkana to Winnipeg.
He was in our Office today and we
wormed out of him the following
particulars of the long journey
Mr. Mosley said: The trip from
Winnipeg to Texarkana required q
days, and the total distance regis
tered on my cyclometer when ]
landed at Park, Texas, 4 miles
from Texarkana, was 1920 miles. In
Iowa and-Nebraska, | averaged 80
miles a day and it took me only one
day to ride through Minnesota. l
think the country is a beautiful
one, but none of these states comes
up to Oklahoma in scenic or fertility
as far as could Judge from what l
saw. l had no mishap until /
reached Caddo, I. T., where l broke
the rim of my wheel, and | rented
one at this place to ride to Paris,
Texas, paying 50 for the same and
returning it when reached Paris,
Texas. | remained at Paris, Tex
as, two weeks, and when I left
there | rented another wheel for
$3.50 to make the trip home on,
thus completing every inch of land
travel from Winnipeg to the 7. c.
junction at which place found an
acquaintance who agreed to take
the wheel back to Paris without
cost to myself, and | walked in from
there to my fathers home which is
some four miles east of this city.
Mr., Mosley says the trip cost him
$25 and that he enjoyed it more
than if he had come through on a
Pullman car
When he left the Office he said he
was willing to stay at home now,
that he had seen all of the world he
wished to see.

children's eyes and quit the world and
its disappointing struggles.
