FALLING OFF A BICYCLE.
Mark Twain's Story of the Way tis
Established a Record.

It seems good while ago. I must
have been rather young for my age
then, for 1 was trying to tame an old
fashioned bicycle nine feet high. 1t is
to me almost unbelievable at my pres
emit stage Of life that there have really
been people willing to trust themselves
upon dizzy and unstable altitude like
that, and that I was one of them
TWichell and took lessons every day.
He succeeded and became master Of
the art of riding that wild vehicle, but
had no gift in that direction and was
never able to stay on mine long enough
to get any satisfactory view Of the
planet. Every time tried to steal a
look at pretty girl or any other kind
Of scenery that single moment Of mat
tention gave the bicycle the chance it
had been waiting for, and went over
the front Of it and struck the ground
on my head or back before I had time
to realize that something was happen
ing. I didn't always go over the front
way. I had other ways and practiced
them all. But no matter which way
was chosen for me there was always
one monotonous result-the bicycle
skinned my leg and leaped up into the
air and came down on top Of me-
Sometimes its wires were so sprung by
this violent performance that it had
the collapsed look Of an umbrella that
had had misunderstanding with cy-
clone. After each days practice I az
rived at home with my skin hanging
In ribbons from my knees down.
plastered the ribbons on where they be-
longed and bound them there with
handkerchiefs stepped in lotions and
was ready for more adventures next
day. 1t was always surprise to me
that had so much skin and that 1t
held out so well. There was always
plenty, and soon came to understand
that the supply was going to remain
sufficient for all my needs. It turned
out that I had nine skins, in layers,
one on top Of the other like the leaves
of book, and some Of the doctors said
1t was quite remarkable.
was full Of enthusiasm over this
insane amusement. My teacher was
young German from the bicycle fac
tory, gentle, kindly, patient creature
with pathetically grave face. He
never smiled; he never made remark;
he always gathered me tenderly up
when I plunged off and helped me on
again without a word. When he had
been teaching me twice q day for
three weeks I introduced a new gym
nastic-one that he had never seen be-
fore-and so at last compliment was
wrung from him, a thing which had
been risking my life for days to
achieve. He gathered me up and said
mournfully, 'Mr. Clemens, you can fall
Off bicycle in more different WAYS
than any person I ever saw before"

Marshall Field.

IN N ARsHALL FIELD was the
AW1S greatest merchant of modern
times. He had factories all
over the world, in almost ev-
cry country Of Europe, in China and
Japan, in Australia and in North and
South America. The goods manufac-
tured by these mills he sold through
his great retail store. He was one Of
the richest men in America, yet made
far less stir than men with one-tenth
of his wealth. Moreover, he paid taxes
on larger percentage Of his posses
sions than probably any other Amer
lean millionaire. He never specialized.

Thousands Of people before Marshall
Field have stipulated these as neces-

times almost poet

Going to Chicago. he started as clerk,
steadily crowded forward and was on
the road to success at the time of the
great fire Of 1871. In this he lost prac-

little added edge to his determination.
