Mrs F. D. Espy. known as a writer on

for cycle tours. with especial reference to
those whose destination may be the Pan
American Exposition:

chances are in favor of the lesser number.

HOW TO GET GREATEST ENJOYMENT
OUT OF A LONG TOUR AWHEEL
MISS MARY JOYCE.

Z express a satchel to the destination, but
| don't make the mistake of scattering your
wardrobe at points en- route. It will never
| be where you want 1t at the time 1t 10
| needed. Again, II the County Commission
| ers undertake to repair the roads without
notifying you, a detour might be necessary
which would leave your effects beyond your
jurisdiction. The secret OF successful tour
ing awheel is to he able to live independent
~ Of everything but your present environ-
ment. The cyclist must do all the adapt
| lrg: the roads will not change, nor the
wind, nor the weather. and he or she must
travel prepared for immediate contingent
c,es. Such riders enjoy all the beauties Of
| the trip and are little troubled by tenn
| porary reverses.
"A woman Is more hampered than her
male companion. both In her mount ana
| clothing; it is. therefore, necessary for her
to dress as comfortably as possible. This
outfit meets ordinary requirements: Union
undergarments, which should be OF light
wool, silk or linen mesh according to the
habit Of the rider. but never Of cotton ma
terial. A corset waist may be necessary TO
some; heavy stockings of the a OF the
| costume: low shoes withflow heels and toes
that are not pointed; knickerbockers Of
percaline. the shade Of the cycling skirt;
q shlrt waist Of tan pongee silk Is the most
comfortable and will not show soil OF dust;
a rundown rubber collar Of medium height
is cooler than linen and can be cleaned
whenever necessary: several washable ties
can be carried and take but little space.
The skirt should be comfortably short and
of heavy enough material SO that 1t will
not balloon or blow up: in color. tans and
grays are most serviceable. h Jacket
should be neat fitting and with no waste
material in the makeup, the Elton style is
preferable. A felt hat, broadbrimmed
enough to shade the eyes. is the most sensi-
| BILE headgear."

Of his life had been mainly spent in Moscow
and the interior Of Russia. The more We
walked together the more II became clear
that this last statement explains some Of
his main defects. OF all distinguished men
that I have ever met, Tolstoi seems to me
most in need Of that enlargement Of view
and healthful modification Of opinion which
come from observing men n comparing
opinions in different lands ard under differ
ont conditions. This need has been all the
Rreater because in Russia there H. no op-
p~ortunity to discuss really important Ques-

during our previous walks, approached by
many beggars, to each of whom he gave as

WAS accustomed to take 4 provision Of cop
mn money with him on his walks for this
purpose, since he regarded 1t - . duty to
rive when asked, and he went On to say
that he carried the idea 50 far that even IL
he knew the man wanted the money to buy
brandy he would give It to him; but he
added that he would do all in his power to
induce the man to work and to cease drink

every account. and herein we fully agreed.

Warned b. Hls uorse.

Several years ngo when residing in
my native town of Scltuate, Mass,
our family physician, DR.. Stetson, told
me an interesting story Of his intelll'
gent horse.
A short time before he was called at
midnight to visit serious case Of sick
ness and at once took his horse from
the stable, harnessed him in great
haste and proceeded on his way, but
when about a quarter Of mile from
home he reached a hill and was Just
about to begin the descent when the
horse suddenly stopped and refused to
70 farther. The doctor then felt sure
something must be wrong and aliEhted
from the carriage and, carefully feel
Ing over the harness. found that n his
hurry and the darkness he had omitted
to buckle one side Of the breechinG
which would have let the carriage on 10
the horse as soon as he began to de-
scend the hill. He at once made the
necessary fastening, got into the car.
rlaEe and the Intelligent horse then
started in double quick for the sick pa.
tlent.

The last Of these nnds, which was be-

the reign of Louis XIV. and was refer

These gigantic remains were discov-

the Inscription, "Teutobochus Rex, /"
