Finding these effort* In many ettses Ineffectual and anmetlmes even antago nised by misguided opposition. It has been decided in future to advocate and build cycle path*. Because many peo ple are blind to the ti*efulne*» of good road* there la no reaeon. It I* argued, whv bicyclist* should on that account suffer, “flood road* for all" Is still the ultimate end of the league's work, but cycle paths will be substituted as an auxiliary to the greater cause. Mr. Potter. In furtherance of this move, has published a volume for the L. A. W. Good Roads Library entitled "Cycle Paths,” In which he defends the change tn front as follows: "Every cycle path Is a protest against bad roads, a sort of rublic notice that the public wagon ways are unlit for public travel, a wit sharpener to every h ghway officer who has seven holes in t, * head, and a splendid example of the charm ng relations which the wheel and he roadway may be made to sustain to aeh other. It is a declaration of inde pendence which for the time being lifts ,he bievele out of the mud and puls the wheelman on a firmer ground of argu ment for good road*, takes from his crlt'cs the charge that the cyclist's war fare is a selfish one, and supplies to »v --cry traveler an Impressive exhibition of the value of a good .wheel way.

While they supply a text for the patient cyclist Who builds his own mad and battles for good wagon roads at the same me..-, betray a violation of equity which ought to stop. The bicycle has added wealth to the country and has become a strong factor In its social and commercial growth. In hundreds of communities the cyclists include large taxpayers, who pay heavily to maintain a wasteful system of mere mudways, and whose every effort for improve ment la opposed by the ‘old settler.’ who Insists that the road Is good enough." The movement for cycle paths has been taken un In no state with more enthusiasm than In New York. Mr. Milo M. 6 ldlng the newly elected chief consul of New York state.

The building of cycle path* wl’l be one of the principal departments, and wherever the co-operation of farmers or local authorities cannot be secured for the construction of good road* ef forts will be made to have these substi tute*. The new chief consul also wants th*‘_ board of officers of the division to meet’ quarterly Instead of half yearly, and In other wav* ha mtepde to infuse new life Into the organisation He Is in favor of an annual Mnw day parade of L.

There is not n state division or local organisation In the Union that could not profitably gather valuable bint* from the plan* of Mr. Beldlng. An en thusiastic believer In the future of the organization and a veteran wheelman himself, Mr. Beldlng inspires confidence In every one with whom he conies In contact. He is a hellevor In the motto that "whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.” Although he has many Im portant business interests, he devotes much of his lime to the welfare of his fellow wheelmen. While of course he will look more especially to the building up of the league In his own bailiwick, he is broad minded enopgh to know that j If the organisation is to continue Its Usefulness to wheelmen In general the work must be carried on with vigor in every state, and he hopes to see the i good example taken to heart and prac | tleed the country over. There Is no more I able worker in the ranks of the U. A. W. I or one who more thoroughly under stands and can carry out its objects and aspirations. Should Ida reform as chief consul of New York culminate success fully hia friends predict that he will be a strong candidate for presidential hon ors next year.

"Oh. powerful 'nough; twice a* big a* you (Stone and Montgomery are about the same size) and black as the ace of spades!” Somebody had evidently been Impos ing on the negr-se. but Montgomery got the laugh all around for a long time afterward. A New York manager has a stage doorkeeper whose continuous services cover many years and whose faithful ness has become a shining example In the theater. He had never been off du ty a night until his manager gave him a bttle furlough. “I got to thinking about him the oth er day." writes his kindly employer, "and decided to give him a night off and $5 for picnic money. The next day I ask’d him how he enjoyed himself and what he had done for pastime, expect ing to hear that he had gone to a box ing match or something of the kind. I was knocked almost speechless when he told me that after trying for two days to make up his mind as to how he would amuse himself, he finally con cluded to go down to another theater and see an old acquaintance, who was at the stage door there. And that is exactly what he did." Such is the fasci nation of the stage for Its votaries, even though they ge* 1010 11 00 farthsr tbfen the dingy alley door.
