Praying is notuncommon right now.
Even the heather in lola are praying
for rain. But it remained for a little
Gas City Miss to pray remarkable
prayer. She is the diminutive sister
of Miss Blanche Goes and had attend
ed church Sunday and listened to
prayers for rain. In the afternoon at
home she noticed the heat and suddenly
bowling her head she uttered short
prayer for rain and concluded with
And do you know, Lord, that there
ism an egg in this town." The little
Miss is fond of eggs and the market
was shy.

fancy riders In the country. He had sew
eral good offers from different theatrical
companies, but owing to the fact that he
has q good position, he invariably de-
cimed them and decided to remain in st.
Paul: Mr.. Torley takes a great interest
in his work, and being very agile and
nimble, has little difficulty in learning
any trick he has seen performed. The
hardest trick known to trick riders is
riding both parts of the wheel separate.
First riding the unicycle, or front wheel,
then riding the rear wheel disembarked,
propelling it by the steering head. Tor
ley has succeeded in accomplishing the
above feat after years of hard practice.
Another trick that is considered one of
the hardest is, riding straight backwards,
facing forward and making complete
pivot on on the rear wheel and starting
off in the opposite direction without dis
mounting. A few of his other tricks that
are also considered very difficult are
standing on his head while the wheel is
IL. motion and throwing out the front
wheel. He rides a special make of wheel,
it is nickel-plated and it is built so that
he can take it completely apart while
riding. Mr.. Torley is a born rider and
handles his mount with perfect ease. He
enjoys the sport and spends most of his
leisure time in attempting some trick
that neither Lee Richardson or Racycle
Lawrence ever attempted land they are
supposed to be the best trick riders in
America). He will take part in the min

ne is doing such good business this
season pushing the ftainmaker bicycles
that he does not intend to do any train
ing for long distance records Hansen
held the worlds 1,000-mile record in 1899
and still holds several state records.
W. A. Powers recently rode a tandem
geared to 81 up. Selby avenue hill, turn
ed around and came down without dis
peating the performance when he was
urged by his friends not to try it. The
rear seat of the tandem was unoccu-
pied.
Tom Eek says that John L. Sullivan,
who received cane from the Prince OF
Wales, now King Edward, need not think
himself the only American athlete to be
honored. Mr.. Eek and Johnnie Johnson,
OF Minneapolis, had champagne with the
prince back in the old days when john
son was in great form over in Europe.
Bobbie Walthour and Tom Eek have
tied up. Walthour took Tom on as a
caretaker in the Boston six-day race,
and no man was ever better handled
Eek also took care of Elkes and McFar-
land in the New York race and says that
he never had a loser in a six-day con-
test. Walthour is to be starred in middle
distance racing this season.

There will be considerable rivalry be-
tween A. C. Mertens and Charles Hofer
this season. AS a handicap rider Mer-
tens probably has no equal in this part
of the country, and as a sprint rider,
Hofer has proven his ability, by beating
every local rider of repute. A match
race between Hofer and Mertens would be
a drawing card.
The side path commission will be APP
pointed in a short time by the county
commissioners 1t is hoped by the
wheelmen that politics will not be con-
sidered in the appointments. The county

that date has been feature for several
years, and is in reality the opening of
the road riding season in Minnesota. The
route has not been selected, but in all
probability it will be over the st. Paul
,Tonka course.
The Lake street path, in Minneapolis,
Is IN very bad shape, and it will take
considerable money TO put it riding con-
d1tion. The Minnetonka path is also in
pao shape. A. III. Moore, who rode a
century two weeks ago, states that all
Inc cycle paths except the one to Shake

they viii be ridable. Summit avenue
path is in good shape as far as the river

SIT. PAUL.s CYCLE PATHS.
Being Added to Every Year-First
One Built In 1895.

In 1896 a few of the most prominent
wheelmen of st. Paul got together and
suggested the idea of building cycle paths
in and around the city. A meeting was
called and the st. Paul Cycle Path as
ISOLATION was formed, with A. i. Oneitt
as president. The good work commenced
Immediately, the association issued cycle
tags and disposed of them at 81 each.
Before the close of the season ST. Paul
was connected by paths to Minneapolis
and White Bear The following year
more paths were built, including the
Martin street path. Lexington avenue
and several other shorter ones, and each
year additional paths have been built, I'M
til today ST. Paul is connected by paths
to number Of points of interest The
different places reached from ST. Paul
by continuous cycle path are Minneapolis
White Bear, Hastings Lake Johanna
Lake Elmo and Lake Minnetonka. The
Shakopee path will be completed this
season. This path extends now as far us
Bloomington, and when finished will make
one of the prettiest rides in the state.
The Cycle Path Association of st. Paul
has done some hard and conscientious
work in the past five years, and it is en-
tirely due TO its. efforts that st. Paul
has as fine chain of paths as any CITY
in America. The new law passed last
week will take the work out of the hands
of the Cycle Path association. 1t re-
CURES the appointment of five side path
commissioners, appointed by The county
commissioners to serve for one two.

st. Paul dealers declare this has been
the best season, so far, that they have
ever experienced: there seems to be a
boom in. the bicycle business. One of the
larger dealers mas taken orders for over
200 wheels, and it Is impossible to ill
orders as quickly as the demand requires
1t is estimated there will be over $500
new wheels sold in ST. Paul this season,
record that was never equaled in previ-
GUS years. In addition to being very
busy in the bicycle sales department of
the various establishments, the repair
shops of the concerns are also doing
land Office business. It has been neces-
sary to work the repair men nearly every
evening. In the past week it has been
impossible for a wheelman to have
puncture mended as quickly as he would
like. Each year riders wait until the last
moment to have their old wheels reno
waited and there is, therefore, a great
rush wnen the season commences.

PRocRAsfINATING RIDERS.
How AN Ehterprisfng Dealer Won
Gratitude and Money,

long-headed dealer In New York has
instituted system of getting trade that
results in profit to himself and plea si1re
TO cyclists. Almost every rider knows
through personal experience the prone
ness to representation there is in get
ting the Wheel overhauled and put in
shape for spripg riding. Every fine
day the yearnihg rider will saw to him
self: Il must take my wheel and have it
fixed up so can get out on the road
Yet he WIFI go on putting it off week
after, week. losing many opportunities
joyment. The WHY dealer who appre-
ciated thisl human weakness conceived
the idea that if the riders were negli-
gent he would not be, and if they would
not come to him that he would go to
them. So he sent out a lot of return
postal cards. stating that he would send
for wheels that needed cleaning and re-
pairing and quoting his prices for diff
ferent kinds of work. The lazy and neg
ligent then had only to fill in his or
her address on the return postal and
mail it. and then continue in their usual
routine until the wheel was returned
ready fer business. with the charges ac-
cording to schedule. The dealer has
been praised for his enterprise by many
customers who SAY that they began rid
