Confidence and Goodness,

II you desire to become finished
rider, cultivate GOODNESS. The wheel
man who loses his head when he gets
in tight place and allows excitement
10 get the better OF him, is almost GER
tain TO come to grief eventually, and
IL is an undoubted fact that n good
many of the cycling accidents chron-
icled could easily be avoided If a lit
tie GOODNESS and judgment were exer-
cised. Many riders never feel the
slightest uneasiness in the thick os
busy street traffic, as they have COM
plete confidence in their ability to mrL
nipulate their machines with safety.
Confidence and GOODNESS go hand IN
hand, and the wheelman who is of a
nervous and excitable temperament
should cultivate these qualities.

UNCLE SAM IN LINE.
Automobile Mail Wagons to SuppIanl

I'm Use Mt Chicago.

The fact that Chicago is TO have au-
tomobile mail wagons is only a sign
of the times. To be sure, they are
TO be put on merely as n test of their
usefulness, but who can doubt the re-
suit?
At first the automobile was n pleas
ure vehicle and nothing else. A rich
man might have one, just as he might
have "a yacht, and to ride in one was
an celebrating novelty. Then came
the automobile cabs, quite common in
London and New York, but only re-
Gently introduced in Chicago, and
after that the automobile delivery
wagons. In every case they were tried
ms an experiment, and the experiment.
was so successful that the automobile
became instantly popular for that par.
ticular purpose. Undoubtedly that
also will be the result Of the mail
wagon test, and after the Chicago
demonstration their introduction
everywhere is sure to follow. 1t is
step in the direction of their universal
adoption for all but railway transport
tation purposes. The heavier wagons
and the trucks will be next to dis.
card horses, and they will not be far
behind the larger mail wagons.
After that the reign of the horse
will be practically Mt an end for utili-
tartan purposes. The change will be
gradual, but IL will be sure, and in
the next decade the saddle horse and
the trotter will be all that will be
left in the stables, while they will be
only in the stables of the wealthy.
They will be the Injuries that auto
mobiles were a short time ago. and
the automobiles the necessities. Uncle

WHY TAX BIcYCLES1
The Question Answered from the
viewpoint OF Wheeimnn an"
Good Roads Advocate.

All wheelmen are interested in good
roads. They are also all interested ID
who should pay for them. They pref
ty unanimously agree that special tax
on wheels 10 be expended in the pulio-
ing and repair of roads is unjust. lhey
do not see why they should be burdeneo
with special tax on wheels while the
owners of other road vehicles, as such,
pay no special tax.
There is. in fact, no reason for placing
n special tax on wheels that would not
apply with greater force 10 buggies,
wagons, horses--vehicles Of every other
kind. If those who use the roads should
pay for constructing and keeping them
in repair, then those who use them most
should pay most.
The owner OF a wheel would then not
be required 10 contribute by tax 10
the road fund because he owned the
wheel. but because he rode il. The
theory that those who use the roads
should pay for them would require that
toll should be charged 10 the user,
graduated according 10 the character
Of the vehicle or means OF locomotion
used.
If il we're true that wheels acquired
any special value in the market in the
hands of the owner and user because OF
any Improvement made in the condition
of the roads. il would not be unjust that
the owner of the wheel should be called
upon to contribute part of that added
value 10 his wheel to pay for the making
of that improvement. But wheels do
not increase in value from that cause,
while contiguous lands 90 increase in
value from that cause. Roads make
lands valuable by making them accesi-
bic. The better the roads the more they
are travelled, and the greater the travel
over road the greater Is its value TO the
contiguous or adjacent land. The real
beneficiary of the road is the land
owner; il enables him 10 sell his land at
a higher price. To tax him, therefore,
TO pay for the road does not injure him,
for that which he pays in the tax has
been added to the value OF his land.
The only just tax is one that is appor-
toned according to benefits conferred.
This principle should have application
not only in the raising of revenue for
constructing and repairing roads, but
in providing for all the other needs of
government. ~ Cleveland Cycling Ga

TOO MANY TEETH.
Puzzling Case OF London hoy
Whose Mouth Is "a yeritabIc
Tooth Factory.

To go to bed at night and wake up
the next morning with an almost COM
plete extra set of teeth in the mouth is
an experiment not vouchsafed 10 many
persons. Such case, however has, ac-
cording TO London paper, been for
some time engaging the attention of
the officials of one of tAe London hospi-
tails. The patient is boy of II years of
age, who works in an office in the CEN
ter of the city. In appearance he is
no different from the hundreds of other
youths who work about him, but, un-
like them, he is an object of peculiar in
terest to over 100 doctors and embryo
dental surgeons. His story is a pecul-
lar one, and were ii not backed up by
substantial proof, would be dismissed
as widely imaginative.
Some little time ago he began TO be
affected with acute toothache, but as
all his teeth were apparently sound no
local cause could be found by his par
ents or friends. Being too poor to Sc
cure medical attention, he was forced
TO bear pain with what fortitude he
could.
Finally his gums began to swell on
the outer side, and this grew worse I'M
I'll one morning he awoke TO find the
soreness and pain gone, and that he had
an almost duplicate set of teeth grow
ing on the outside of both the top and
bottom set of natural ones. At first
this did not interfere with him, but
later ii was found that his speech was
beginning to get imperfect. An exam
nation revealed the fact that the new
teeth were growing TO an abnormal
size, while in proportion as they in
creased his physical strength de-
creased.
lie was then taken to the hospital,
where, after careful watching as an
out patient, ii was decided TO extract
a number of the teeth. This was done,
but almost as fast as they were taken
out new ones grew in other places, UNI
Ill almost the entire roof of the pa
tents mouth had been taken up by his
peculiar ailment. Altogether IS teeth
have been extracted, and recently IL
has been noticed that the growth Of
further teeth has stopped. Whether
this condition will be permanent is a
moot question time alone will an
swer, but meanwhile the extraction of
his teeth has ceased.
The case is remarkable in medical
annals, and is set down as a peculiar
form OF Justification. 1t is supposed TO
have an hereditary bearing. the lads
grandfather being described as pc
culinrly "double-jointed" man Of un-
usual strength. A load of six hundred
weight is reputed to be of little weight

known overhead contact device, and can
run on the rails rs a street car or on
any ordinary pavement as an omnibus.
The accumulators are charged, IL is
said, while the vehicle is running as q
street car or is at hating place. The
motorman can enter or leave the car
tracks without wasting minute. all
that is required being to raise or drop
n third pair OF wheels. These wheels
are small compared to those which bear
the weight of the car, and are grooyed
like car wheels. The omnibus has been
given only trial trip so far, but IL stood
the test so well that IL may be intro
duccd on several suburban extensions OF
street railways and in parts of Berlin
where tracks are undesirable.

of saloon keepers who fear they are get
ting the worst of bad deal. The pro-
prietor of a resort not far from Tenth and
Chestnut streets had his suspicious arous-
ed and enlisted the services of a couple
of spoilers. The report that they made
was a staggerer. In less than an hour
and half the barkeeper under suspicion
had played the cash register for $3.50.
and then he was promptly placed under
arrest.
