Bicycling as a fad has disappeared.
The monkey back scorchers are thing
of the past. The century run has re-
tired into history. The riders of today
are those who believe in rational exer-
else and those who use the bicycle as a
measure Of economy in the direction of
saving car fare. The bicycle craze has
ended, but there will continue to be rid
rs just the same.-Savannah News.

An Invention to Facilitate Cheating.
We are in receipt of a communica-
ton from correspondent in the city
of Boone, Ia, who sends SIS and some
sketches of table he is building, evil
IDENTIFY intended for some gambling es-
Establishment in that town. A plate of
soft iron is located about the middle
of the board under the cloth, and cleo
trio wires pass up the legs Of the table
and connect with the plate. By pressure
of the foot or by some similar means
the electric current may be established,
and the plate becomes magnetized
The loaded dice can thereby be manip-
ulated at the will of the operator. The
correspondent had had some difficulty
in carrying out his plans successfully
and desires US to assist him in over
coming the defects by specifying ''the
amount and sizes of wire or ampere
turns and size and shape Of magnets
necessary"
We have returned the amount of
the bride offered and take this oppor-
tunity of informing him that we do not
care to become an accessory in his

WAR BUREAU FRICTION.

General Miles is not the first occu-
pant of his position to be at odds with
the head of the war department. In
deed it is a tradition that there should
be irreconcilable differences of opinion
between the secretary of war and the
general commanding the army. When
Sherman was in charge of army head
quarters, the conflict of authority be-
came so acute that the doughty hero
of the march to the sea, driven to des-
peration by the Sights he felt were
put upon him, packed up his belong
ings and moved the army headquar-
tiers bodily from Washington to st.
Louis, where he remained in solitary
splendor during all the later years of
his incumbency. Sheridan was as I'M
fortunate as his predecessor in his re-
lations with the secretary of war. He
was not quite testy enough to allow
himself to be driven from Washington,
but there were continual clashes be-
tween him and Secretaries Lincoln and
Endicott down almost to the day of
his death. Schofield was able to get
dlOuS Will LIS Clfllldu SuperIOrS WILL
out friction. He had tact in abun-
dance and was born diplomat Moth
ing else could have saved him. He
alone of all the officers recently in COM
mand of the army had understood the
true relations of the general command
ing with the secretary of war. He ap-
preciated the fact that the command
ing general was, after all, subject to
the orders of the secretary of war and
was to all intents a chief of staff,
whose duty it was to see that those or
ders were carried into effect. Sherman
and Sheridan were never able to adjust
themselves to this relationship. They
were soldiers and nothing else. Accus-
toned to command and to have their
orders obeyed without question, it irri-
tated them and angered them that a
mere civilian unframed in the practice
of war should be in position to over
rule their judgment in matters relating
to a profession to which they had de-
voted their lives.-L. A. Coolidge in
Ainslee's.
