Romance of Slams Great Peaks.

Slams greatest mountain range is
the Sam Roi Yawt, or the three hun
dred peaks. A quaint legend which
explains their origin is set forth by
the Siamese biologists as follows: ct
appears that one Mong La1 and his
wife once inhabited the neighborhood
(they were giants), and each promised
their daughter in marriage, unknown
to the other, to different sutton. At
last the day of the nuptials arrived,
and Chao Lai and the Lord of Mieang
Chin (China) both arrived to claim the
bride. When the Mortified father found
how matters stood-having a regard
for the value of a promise, which is
not too common in the East-he cut
his daughter in half, so that neither
sultor should be disappointed Chao
Lai in the meantime, on finding that
he had a rival, committed suicide, and
the peak of Chaolai is the remains of
his body. The unfortunate bride is to
be found in the islands off Sam Roi
Yawt, the peaks of which are the re-
mains of the gifts which were to be
made to the holy man who was to SOL
emnize the wedding, while Kaw Chang
and kaw King, on the east side of the
gulf, are the elephant and buffalo cart
in which the presents were brought"

New Chainless Bicycle Gear-Stroet

Meet Officials.
New Lines of L. A. w. Work.

Gratifying progress is being made in
the new line of league work tending
to increased convenienceS to members.
The new touring department is said to
be overrun with inquiries as to routes
and must in consequence be pressed
hard and rapidly in its compilation OF
information. Weekly bulletins of the
conditions of the roads have for two
years been features of the information
sent out from the New York division
headquarters, and this scheme has al
so been carried out to some extent in
other districts. The New Workers this
year are amplifying this road inform
alton by taking upon themselves To-
cally some of the prerogatives of the
national touring department in the Is
suance Of routes for convenient one
day rides as well as for extended tours
with New York as starting point. The
demands on the cycling editors Of the
daily press will prove how extensively
such information is wanted and how
much the L. A. w. is doing for wheel
men in furnishing it.
Another line of new work map
ped out by the league authorities
is the giving of illustrated lectures on
poor roads. Joseph Latham of Provi-
dence, R. l., who lectured on this sub
ject at the recent national assembly,
is to be the pioneer in this novel and
effective line of league missionary
work. In these days of universal am
ateur photography and good roads zeal
there should be small reason for a
shortage Of the supply of competent
illustrated lecturers

Fash ions In Jewelry.

The fashion of long chains worn
around the neck is augmenting rather
than diminishing. Not only are there
gold chains embellished at intervals
with amethysts, opals, diamonds,
pearls or turquoises, arranged as beads
or set fiat, but the place of the jewels
is now often taken by ancient coins.
amulets and Oriental charms.
Four-leaved clovers are still in high
favor for jewelry. In gold or enamel,
set with jewels or plain, they appear
as brooches, stick pins, pendants,
charms for a chain or bracelet or pins
for fastening the watch. The real clo-
yer leaf inclosed in crystal is used in
the same manner and is guaranteed to
insure the best luck.
Opals are much less expensive stones
than they used to be, an opal of bril-
liant fire being now obtainable at
reasonable price. A recent novelty is
an opal necklace composed of round
opal beads of graduated size, but all
small, with fiat beads Of rock crystal
alternating with them. These neck
laces are made like pearl necklaces,
just long enough to go around the
neck.

Thirty Dollar Silk Vests.

Think of $50 for vest. and that
not a full-dress vest, either! exclaims
New York fashion writer. Leading
tailoring houses here have imported
this year a great variety of costly silk
fabrics which are made into vests to
be worn with frock coats. The fact
is, the fabric is woven of sewing silk
in three-ply fashion that makes it
quite Oriental. A mans dress vest
used to be considered quite costly at
the price Of $40, but the golden youth
of to-day have climbed up in their
ideas to $50. Then they used to dress
after the French fashion, with every
thing tight and natty, frock coat but
toned tight at the waist and trousers
almost tight to the skin. Now they
follow the English mode-1oose, I'M

and some of them now manage to
escape the suspicion Of wearing cor

Beer In the Army.

At the request of the secretary OF
war, Acknowledgement Griggs has rem
dered an opinion on the act passed by
congress regulating the matter of the
sale of liquor at army post exchanges
and canteens. After quoting the law,
the attorney-genera1 says:
IF this act was intended to be en-
tirely prohibitory of the sale of intoxi-
eating drinks in post exchanges or
canteens, as well as in encampments,
forts and other premises used for mill
tary purposes, then, to say the least,
Congress used very circuitous route
to reach that point, and employed
many superfous words to enact a sim
pie provision, which could have been
stated in a single sentence declaring
that hereafter no intoxicating drinks
should be dealt in OF sold in any post
exchange or canteen or on any prem
ises used for military purposes by the
United States. On the contrary. the
first clause merely forbids the detail
of any officer or private soldier to act
as a bartender or otherwise in the sale
of intoxicating drinks in any post ex-
change or canteen. Why specify Off
GERS and private soldiers as forbidden,
if it was intended to forbid the traffic
by all other persons? The designation
Of one class of individuals as forbid
den to do certain thing raises a just
inference that all other classes not
mentioned are not forbidden. A dec
laration that soldiers shall not be de-
tailed to sell Intoxicating drinks in
post exchanges necessarily implies
that such sale is not unlawful when
conducted by others than soldiers. If
statute were to provide that no
liquors should be sold to minors in
any saloon, would not every one infer
that the enactment was predicated
upon a state of law which as to others
than minors allowed the sale of liquors
in saloons? AS all parts of the act
must be given effect according to their
natural sense and meaning, if possible,
it becomes necessary to attach to this
first clause, therefore, a Specification
which implies that the sale of liquor
in post exchanges is not unlawful
when conducted by others than SOL
diers. Certainly, standing by itself, it
can receive no other or broader mean
ing than that officers or private SOL
diers are not to be detailed to sell in
toXicating drinks. But the sale of in
toxicating drinks in post exchanges
and canteens is not the only method
in which those commodities are sup
piled upon premises used for military
purposes. AS is stated above, officers
in command Of encampments, forts,
reservations and other premises have
usually exercised the authority to al
low persons to come upon the prem
lses and sell Intoxicating drinks to

Street Race in Washington.

Washington, with its almost univer-
sal system of asphalt streets, has often
been called a cycling paradise. y re-
cent action of the authorities should
give it the further distinction of being
a cycle racing paradise. The district

historic Pennsylvania avenue shall be
given over to the wheelmen for one
hour on the evening of the peace jubi-
lee celebration, May "a, for road race,
but has as we'll appropriated $3.50 for
prizes. There will also be a street
parade with prizes for the most at
tractive costumes worn by participants.
Thus in the capital of the country
there will be a street race which the
national government not only sane
lions, but for which it puts up the
prizes. Chicago, Boston, New York
and other cycling centers Of the coun-
try will have to show a decided in
crease in generosity toward cyclists if
they wish to keep abreast of the cy-
cling spirit of Washington.

New Chainless Bicycle Gear.

The invention shown in the engrav-
ing is one that may become widely
known in a very short time, as it may
be produced at low cost compared to
other bevel gears and is said to run
very smoothly. The gear consists Of
three metal discs and a row of balls, or
more properly speaking, two metal
discs with intentions around the edge
in which are held a row Of balls; and
a sprocket which engages itself in the
balls and forms the gear. Both Of the
metal discs as well as the sprocket can
be stamped out of sheet steel, and by
being case hardened will be capable Of
enduring the same wear that most BIZ
cycle bearings of the present time will
stand. By making the lamentations,
which act as a seat for the balls, of
the proper size and at the proper angle,
the ball will spin" readily in its sock

Anglers Country Publishers.

Some time ago H. Arney of Chicago
sent out a proposition to the rural
newspapers, offering a $40 bicycle in
exchange for advertising. Judging
from the advertising appearing, many
papers accepted. A picture of the ma
chine was sent, and it was a nice pic
ture. When the real goods began to
arrive, they were not like the picture,
and one at least had evidently lost the
name plate on the way, although the
screws remained. This machine is
an exact counterpart, apparently, of
the Acme Jewel bicycle, which Sears,
Roebuck & Co. advertise on page 442
Of their catalogue for $16.95. Inas-
much as the advertisements inserted
in payment for the machine are from
this firm, and they acknowledge Mr..
Arney as their agent, a good many
publishers are wondering how he made
the mistake; or, If the machine which
can be bought for $16.95 cash is sold
for $40 when paid for in advertising;
also, if the publisher is bound to fulfill
his contract to give $40 worth of ad-
vertising, when he receives, not the
machine on which the bargain was
made, but a machine selling for one
quarter Of the price. One lawyer, who
if the picture and specifications origin
ally sent can be proved part Of the
contract, the publisher cannot be held
to give the firm $40 worth Of advertis-
ing. It is barely possible the firm has
made a mistake, which may prove
rather costly.

officials largely made up of club off,
Gals and committeeman. These rib
bon-decked individuals are for the
most part OF no use whatever to the
actual conduct of the races and should
only be called within the ropes when

Even the officials sanctioned by the
present racing rules can be largely re-

fact a few experienced men can ham
