somewhat abashed when the day wore away
in a fruitless quest for birds
They we're out in the vicinity OF Calhoun
and a short time before the hour for taking
the train homeward they passed a farm
house and saw a number OF geese in a
neighboring pond Near the pond, with
a seeming air OF proprietorship, stood a
man whom the young sportsmen readily
took to be owner OF the place and the geese.
Disdaining to do a wrongful act, while the
guardian OF the place was on watchfu duty,
one OF them negotiated with the farmer for
a shot at the flock OF geese in the pond. The
bystander was accommodating and fixed the
price of such a shot at $3.50. 1t was paid
with an alacrity that suggested fear that
the farmer might change his mind or his
figures
The ardent sportsman blazed away, and
when the smoke cleared up he found that
he had killed at least three Of the birds.
The young man turned 10 the farmer some
what tauntingly and remarked that he would
wager that the latter had not calculated
upon his killing so many at one shot, and
was Mortified when the farmer replied that
he didn't care very much anyhow, as the
geese did not belong to him. Just at that
moment the young sportsmen became aware
that an organized pcsse was sallying forth
from neighboring house and heading their
way. They waited neither for fowl nor coin,
but beat a hasty and undignfled retreat,
nor did they feel entirely secure from the
dscomforts Of a night in the Calhoun Jail
until they had reached their home. All
promises of game presents to friends have
been declared off.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-03

When it was learned that a bicycle
trust was forming in Canada it was
thought queer by the American trade that the
American Bicycle company did not seem to
be figuring in it particularly, although some
of the Canadian manufactures reported to
be in the deal belonged to American con-
Germs that were in the combine here. That
the financiers of the American Bicycle com
pany had no idea of letting the Canadian
trade slip away from them, however, becomes
apparent with tho publication Of the names
OF the of1eers OF the National Cycle and
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-03


The attention of the trade end of the
cycling world at present is given largely to
tho new models for next season The
makers have waited longer than usual to
mako their announcements, owing to the I'M
settled condition of the trade. Now that
the affairs of the varoun companies have
been arranged to the satisfaction OF the diff
ferent makers Information regarding the
new models will be moro easily obtained.
Much attention has been given to accessor-
les, and tho wheel for 1900 promises to be
artistic as well as a decided improvement
in many ways over those in use at present.
Several of the prominent makero have de-
cided that the average wheels in use at pres
ept are from two to five pounds too heavy,
While the makers will never reduce the
weight of the machines to the limit which
met more or less fayCr in 1896, they will
compromise on from twenty-five to twenty
four pounds on the average chain wheel, and
a pound or two more on the Chainless, Some
of the high grade chanless wheels this year
weighed over thirty pounds. Much attention
will be given to coaster brakes on both
chain and chainlees wheels, On many OF the
chain wheels the brake will be in the rear
hub On some of the chainess wheels a
spoon fitted with coating of rubber will
brake against the rear tire, There is sure
to bo a general effort to reduce the size Of
the tubing in use. Comparatively few
wheels will have tubing one and one half
inches in diameter, as was the case this year
one and an eighth inches will probably be
tho standard Many innovations are prom
ised in tires.

this is wonderful world and full
of wonderful things. 1t was a
wonderful, jolly ride that one of
Olive Springs jolly young men
took which made him wonderfully

Miss Mittie Handy is quite sick
at this writing. We fear she is
taking pneumonia. We hope she
may soon recover. DR. Pace, of
Smyrna, is giving medical atten-
ton.
Lots of young people make a
great mistake in life by reading
trashy literature, such as Billings
of Almanax fame and novels of
different kinds and story papers,
in place of reading something that
would be of some use to them in
the future. Reading of such fills
the mind with trash, when it
ought to be stored with useful
knowledge. AS the twig is bent
the tree is inclined.
The thieves are not all dead yet.
A thief stole two hams from Mr..
Eli Thomas on Monday night of

held, at. the residence of David
Handy on Tuesday night next.

Some people are very stubborn,
especially when they don't have
their own way about everything.
Such people are very hard to
please, in fact you can't please
them without you do just as they
say, yet they will do as they
please and everybody must do as
they say. tits good thing such
people can't control the weather.
If they come into the field where
you are at work, they will say you
ought to do the work some other
way, or you ought to commence
at the other side of the field, or
you ought to run the rows straight
across the field and not have these
short rows here. Such people are
not capable of giving advice as to-
farming.

YANKEE PUSH NEEDED
 IN FOREIGN LANDS

Oxford. July 1S.-(Special Correspond ence.)-The quality that one stands most in need of while travelling abroad is good old American enterprise and energy, famil- iarly characterized as Yankee push"
 There are tremendous crowds every where one goes, and consequently there Is a continual demand for alertness to obtain the best to be had. Nothing can enliven or hurry the English people out of their habit ual calm and repose, but the poor, nervous American hurries and scrambles and rushes so constantly that the nervous habit is fastened upon him even when there is absolutely no need for it.
 During our trip through the Highlands of Scotland. there would be the most fran tic rushes for the front seats on the bow of the little steamer, although it was pouring down rain; then, although the guards shouted that there were plenty of coaches for all passengers and no need to hurry, there was nevertheless the same crowd and
