Denver, Col, enjoys the distinction
of having more bicycles in proportion
to population than any othei city in
the United States. Though Denver
numbers only 100, 900 souls within her
city limits, she boasts Of not less than
10000 bicycles. Morning and evening
alike thousands of bicycles may be
seen on the streets of Denver mounted
by men, women and children in every
walk Of life. Bicycles literally overrun
thugs and they are used in every line
of business, and street car companies
say they have lost $1,000, 900 annually
in traffic since bicycles have become
the rage. In fact, one company went
into the hands of receiver two years
ago. alleging that the universal wheel
had impaired its earning to such an
extent that it could not meet its inter-
est demands. The open weather ana
fine natural roads are largely respon-
sible for the popularity of the wheel,
as it is conceded that ordinary riders
can use their wheels daily for % weeks
out of 81 and not suffer any annoyance
from mud or snow. Add to this the
fact that neither lights, brakes nor bells
are required and the agility required
Of the non-rider in taking care of him

Few little children, of course, volun-

ficulties, yet more would do so if par
ents and nurses were not in the habit
OF catering to that Brightness charac-
teristic of all young things, which
leads them to follow up whatever mo-
mentarily attracts their attention. The
capacity to dwell for a long time on
one thought involves both intensity
of desire and innate ambition to reach
right results. | have seen this strug-
gle for perfection in an incipient form
show itself in little child but IS
months old. And how sincerely
respected that little one. He was sit
ting in his mothers lap beside the Ii
brary table one evening, when in an
idle mood she took up a penny and Get
it on the head of a small gilt image
three or four inches high and with a
head scarcely larger than the head of
the coin. Seeing that the baby watch
cd her, she said playfully: Baby can't
Go that" The little ones brown eyes

UP tried again, with the same result.
without the least sign of discourage
ment of impotence the little thing
tried over and over again for a score Of
times, until at last he succeeded in
balancing the coin on the head of the
image. The brave baby! We gave him
round of applause. and he looked
from one TO the other of us with curl
Gus little glance of satisfaction. The
next day he could not be prevailed
upon to undertake the same feat again.
Once having demonstrated that ne
could do it the act lost its interest.

No circus menagerie Is ever with
out its man-eater you know" said the
old wagon driver as "reminiscences
were in order. We had ours when

gave him such an awful reputation for
ferocity that people dared not to come
within ten feet OF his cage. or course
used to get off a lecture on him. Ac-
cording to my story he had killed ana

PIE for the entrance, general alarm
outside the tents, and for a minute
was so scared that couldn't even
fall down. The tiger was looking
around to see what he could tackle.
when mongrel dog rot more than a
third of his size came rushing up and
sailed into him. True as you live, that
dog bumped that tiger three times
around the tent, swapping at his heels
all the time, and the Bengal got away
from him only by leaping back into
his cage. The affair got into the pa
pers, and of course we got the grand
guy all the rest of the season. L; paid

1t is all very well to talk about the
captains and pilots of the large sound
steamers having hard times" said an
old-tlme sailor at the custom house,
but for real good seamanship you
must go to the captain of a tug. He
has to be able to handle his boat as
Il 1t were about six inches long, and
mat is no easy matter" Look at
tAat, he continued, calling the atten-
ton or the assembled listeners, and
pointing to a tug slowly steaming out
into the harbor. Just watch him and
see the way he has to maneuver if you
think handling a tug is an easy Job"
Then all watched, and truly it did take
more than a little skill to handle the
tug. First, she steamed to the nearest
pair OF barges, and taking a position
at the side, was made fast. A minute
afterward the two barges and the tug
began to move slowly toward another
barge. Then there was considerable
lacking and moving about. The people
watching, with the exception of the Old
salt, could not understand what it was
all about, but that very soon became
evident, even to the uninitiated. The
checker board moves completed, it was
seen that the tug with the barges were
IN such position that throwing a tow
llne from the stern CT one barge to
The bow of the other was easy. The
haWser was paid out until the bargCs
were far enough apart to be safe and
the crab-like evolutions were repeated
These were gone through with several
times and each time another barge or
pair OF them was added TO the tow, and
scarcely an hour after the first barge
was picked up, the tug with six bargas
In tow was steaming slowly out Of the
harbor, taking an eaSterly direction.

with naked, tattooed bodies. When
March and his men swept up the
mountains on the heels of Aguinaldo
and his little army, these Igorrote
were astounded at the sight of the
American soldiers. What surprised
them most was the soldiers boom,
boom fire sticks"-for such they
termed the modern army rifle. These
mountain folks are no friends of the
Tagals, and were glad enough to point
out to the Americans the direction in
which the Filipino leader and his men
had gone. They held, however, most
superstitious beliefs regarding the
powers of the Tagals, and soberly de-
clared that they were in league with
the spirits of the air and had 1oated
away ON a cloud when the white men
pursued them over the mountain.
There were just 100 picked men in
Maj. March's pursuing party, together
with the "Chinos" packers, and they
felt sure that they had Aguinaldo in a
tight box, when, 10 and behold, just
as they were on his heels the slippery
Filipino turned down some unknown
trail and most mysteriously disap-
peared. This was in the widest and
most Inaccessible country of all the
island, far up among the interior
mountain tops. When March's batal-
lion arrived at Cervantes, it was found
that the insurgent leader had fed two
days before. making for Bontoc, an
other town mp among the clouds, three
days march from Cervantes.
It seems that swift Igorrote noun
tain runners had been posted by
Aguinaldo near the summit of Tilad
pass to report the result of Gen. Gre
carlo del Pillars last desperate attempt
to drive back the Americans. These
mountain runners had returned to
Cervantes with the news of Pillars
death and the utter rout of the rear
guard on the very day the battle was
fought. 1t took March's men two
whole days and a half to cover the
same ground. hurry as they might.
Yet these wonderful Igorrote noun
tain runners had actually covered the
distance in less than eight hours. Just
how they did it no white man has ever
discovered. 1t has been supposed that
they have some secret signal service
of their own by means of which they
can flash messages from mountain
peak to mountain peak. But even
where an individual runner has been
dispatched to deliver message in per-
son he has arrived at his destination
in a wonderfully short space Of time.
They have. of course, a thorough
knowledge Of all the forest paths and
numerous mountain passes. This means
a great deal, as journey that might
