condition for bicycling.
We had reached point about two

a young man plodding along beside his
bicycle, while strapped to the wheel was

was a fish basket.
The old gentleman who was driving our
team Is an enthusiastic fisherman, and the
sight OF the rod and basket aroused all his
fishing blood, and so he brought he horses
to a stsndstill and queried of the young
man:

"Yep," was the answer.

"Yep, i've or six trout"
"Let's see 'em?"
"WeIl, / only got one here, now"

General Funston III Again,

Denver, Aug. S.-Brigadier General
Frederick Funston, commander OF
the Department of the Colorado, isill
at his home in this city. The attack
came upon him suddenly at his office
at army headquarters and Major
Bushnell, Of Fort Logan, who hap
pened to be near by, was called toat-
tend the general. The trouble is
thought to come from the lingering
effects OF the fever from which Gener-
al Funston suffered in Cuba and the
Philippines, which has at different
times impaired his health.
Fears are entertained also that an
iabscess has formed around the I'M
healed portion Of the wound made
by the operation for appendicitis,
which the general underwent in Kan
sas City before coming to Colorado
