tain gloom of the highest ranges.
 Just in one place was gleam Of yell low light. and high up in the air saw a line of precipce and a faint glimmer of snow telling of the gates of the hills The train stopped, and with joy 1 left its luxury for the mountain air and watched 1t pass upon It's way to the dull Caspian, leaving me among mountain herd of shaggy forms-baek wool caps, white wool caps, leather coats, goats halr blankets, every kind of rag and every kind of gleaming arms.
 A little train took me fifteen miles tur- ther. and now I am in Vladikavkas-the gate of the Caucasus. Up that glimmerlng pass the clouds are lifting in long bars of mist, revealing high peaks of snow and cliffs too steep for snow to rest upon. And up that pass runs the old road to Tifis.
 For various reasons the government has closed it now and removed the posting stations. But l have bribed ruddy Tar tar to take me across with the same horses in four days and three nights, and tomorrow at sunrise we start It will not be exactly a train de luxe, thank heaven.

BICYEE REVIVAL
 WE'LL UNDER WAY
This Years Salefof Wheels Greatly Exceed
 the Mixers Expectations.
Exceeded

what may be expected in 1907 Prepara- tions have already been made for turning out 75c, ,O00 wheels next year, and IL is con- servatively estimated that this quantity will not exceed the demands.
 Indeed, the revival of the bicycle Is so much an accomplished fact that 1t is rath- CT late in the day to inquire the reasons thereof. Doubtless the very best one is realization of the great truth that the man or woman who does not use wheel misses so much out of life. We all realize that-all of us who ever owned a wheel Tn the old days. We know that we ate bet ter, slept better, and, unques tionably, were better physically when the wheel was utilized part of every day either for business or pleasure.

vice; this, divided into the tons. shows a consumption of 2730 tons of coal per en- zine per year. In the Lehigh Valley re- port for the same year there is state ment showing that the locomotives on that road made an average of 3i.9H miles per year. and that tho coal consumption per engine mile was 1924 pounds The product of these two figures gives 6,32l ,9bO pounds. or 3666 tons per engine per year. This figure lies between those obtained for the Alton and the Union Pacific. and we may infer that the average consump- ton of coal by locomotives on roads hay ing modern equipment is probably about a500 tons per year.

FATAL TO ATLANTA's PROSPECTS.

There Is one thing certain, and that
Confederacy persist In their crazy
scheme to erect a monument to WirZ,
Of Andersonville infamy, IT will kill eff
fectually all of Atlanta's aspirations to
have a battlefield park made to orna-
ment that city. Congress is not at all
too well disposed to Atlanta as 1t Is, and
the Wirz monument will be made a
sufficient reason for refusing to have
anything whatever to do with the Ma
tional park scheme. The suggestion of
the Wirz monument has already set
many men to saying that they are sorry
that the Government ever entered upon
the plan of making parks and erecting
monuments south of Mason and Dix
on's line, since 1t has stimulated the
Southern people to building monuments
for their men. This argument will be
used with great force when the PROPOSE
ton for the Atlanta National Park
gress will then profess to see clearer
than ever that the Atlanta scheme is
merely an effort to get the United States
Government to expend a great deal of
money in that city for the benefit of the
real-estate dealers and spectators. II
the Atlanta Park project fails the peo-
pie of that city will only have their own
perniciously-adv women to thank
for it.

ENDORSEMENT OF COMMISSIONER
WARNER

1t has been a long time since the Ma
tional Encampment Of the Grand Army
of the Republic has felt warranted in
approving Commissioners administra-
ton OF the Pension Bureau. Therefore
the very deserved Endorsement given
Commissioner Warmers administration
by the National Encampment at Denver
Is the more gratifying. The National
Encampment is a deliberative body of
the highest dignity and wisdom. and
acts with the utmost circumspect!on. 1t
does nothing lightly or hastily or with
out being very sure of its ground. Moth
ing could have wrung from IL its unanI-
nous Endorsement II there had been
anywhere complaint made against the
conduct of the Bureau. Everywhere
the veterans believe that Commissioner
Warner is giving them and their widows
all that is allowed them by law. and
that he is executing the laws fairly.
honestly and without fear. favor or af-
fection. There is no pretense OF liber-
ality, no affectation of partially for the
veterans and their dependent ones.
There is something far better, because
more right and just. The pension laws
are interpreted and applied according to
their evident spirit and intent. Every
man and woman Is given as soon as
possible what a common sense and hon.
est reading of the laws intends that he
or she should haye-no more, no less.
This Is all that the veterans want and
expect from q Commissioner Of Pen
sions. When they have succeeded in
getting law placed upon the statute
books they want 1t executed precisely
as Congress intended 1t should be. This
Is what Commissioner Warner has done.
and It satisfies the National Encamp-
mont. The quiet, unostentatious man
ner in which he has performed his du-
ties is a most grateful relief from the
way in which Evans filled the papers
with stories about his incorruptible in
tegrity. his brave devotion to duty, and
the prosecutions he was suffering from
the cruel and voracious pension
sharks"
