PEDESTRIAN HOBBY HORSE Gay Gallants Cycling in the Eight- eenth Century. FIRS@® LADY’S SADDLE Written for The Evening Star. ROM THE TIME OF Re: old hobby horse to the present fleet- tired racer bicycle history makes an in- teresting story. The art of cycling was first practiced in the eighteenth century upon what was known as the hobby or dandy horse. This contrivance had its wheels attached to a bar of wood shaped as nearly as possible like the back of a horse, the rider sitging astride and pro- pellmg the machine with his feet on the ground. ‘An improved model was invented in 1816, which, during a few years, enjoyed a some- what limited popularity, but the primitive style of its construction still failing to meet the public demand it fell into disuse in a comparatively short time. At the be- ginring of the present century the fad was again revived in Paris, and the “pedestrian hobby horse” came into being. This was a Parisian ‘nvention and improved to the extent of possessing a steering gear in the shepe of a lever. This is the machine that 1s responsible for exciting the interest of women in cycling.

The bicycle of early days was an exceed- ingly odd-looking device, and the,extent to The Pedestrian Hobby Horse. which it was caricatured increased public interest, and finally led to the invention of a wheel tpon which gallants might give their lady loves a spin over the driveways. Soon after this the tricycle was invented, and despite the crudity of its design grew rapidly in public favor. . The First Real Bicycle. The first real bicycle, however, was in- yented by Kirkpatrick MeMillan in 1840, and although constructed entirely of wood contained cranks, side levers, connecting ONE ENJOYS Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys- tem effectually, dispels colds, head- aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.

After being successfully used for several years Galvin Dalzell made another which closely resembled the modern “safety.” The handle bar, wheels and rake 1819 Tricycle. of the front fork were almost identical, but connecting rods took the place of the pres-. ent revolving chain. : In 1866 Pierre Lallement constructed the first bicycle ever patented in the United States, and from this time its development was rapid. The little tewn of Hackensack, N. J., claims to have the oldest wheel of the velocipede pattern made in this coun- try. It was constructed by John Mable of Ballt for Two. Fairview, N. J., in 1848. The wheels are about as heavy as the average buggy wheels now in use, and the entire machine is clumsy in both construction and opera- tion. The Upright. Next came the modern “ordinary” bicycle, the first one being made in England in 1867. The first one built in America was by Col. Albert A. Pope. It had a fifty-four- inch front wheel, both wheels being of wood, with spokes three-eighths of an inch in diameter, and a backbone of ordinary gas pipe. It was completed in the summer of 1877, and weighed 113 pounds, costing | the sum’ of $840. This was the starting point of bicycle manufacture in America, an industry which has developed so rapidly that neither England nor any of the other countries of the old world are able to com- pete. Although the construction of Col. Pope’s machine was exceedirgly crude, its design is familiar to every one, and not in- frequently one sees the old “ordinary” in its perfected form gliding along, its rider lifted far above the others who pin their faith to the more practical “safet: So invention has steadily progressed. Some one discovered the advantage in speed to be gained by throwing a chain first over a large wheel and then over a smaller one that supplied the power. Then in 1889 came the pneumatic tire, adding to the ease of riding, as well as increasing speed, and developments are still going on at such a rate that it is almost unsafe to attempt descriptions. Electricity has been applied recently with fairly satisfactory re- sults, but the possibilities of the combina- tion are still a matter of corjecture. ——__ $10 A NIGHT FOR IT. A Story Told by Joe Jefferson About an Unsuccessful Deal. From the New York Sun. Joseph Jefferson has been telling a story about his last “Rip Van Winkle’ trip. There was a man in the audience the first night who followed the play closely and applauded so vigorously that he made him- self conspicgous. His enjoyment of the play was inspiriting to the actors on the stage. He occupied the same seat and ex- hibited as much enjoyment on the follow- ing evening. This man didn’t miss a single performance for a week and the attend- ants in the theater all knew him by sight. On Saturday evening he went to the stage entrance and asked if he might see Mr. Jefferson for just a moment. The door- keeper took his card, reading “Mr. J. EB. Blank,” to Mr. Jefferson and told him that this man had been in the theater every night during the week, and very much wanted to say a word to him. The veteran actor Is a man of kind heart, and he Baid to the doorman; “Well, let Mr. Blank come in. him for a moment.” Mr. Blank entered modestly and began: ‘Mr, Jefferson, this is indeed an honor ich I thank you. iacion for artists.” Jefferson made a conventional reply. Tl see I have a great ap- es," continued Mr. Blank, “I have en- joyed ‘Rip Van Winkle’ more than any play that I have ever seen.” e “Thank yo said Mr. Jefferson. “I came to see it with a purpose,” con- tinued Mr. Blank. “I have heard so much of Rip’s long sleep,and being a wide-awake man myself, I thought that I could do a lit- tle business with you that would be to our mutual advantage.” Mr. Jefferson was surprised at this turn of the conversation, and he sald: “I haven't the slightest idea of what you are hinting at, Mr. Blank. Will you please “Well, you see, Mr. Jefferson; I am the Inventor of a patent spring bed. It's a dandy, sir, and all that I claim for it, or I shouldn't have come to you. It will not sag in the middle with use, and it is an article that is warranted never to wear out. Now, here's my idea, and there is $10 a night in it for you. I’m willing to spend money. You wil earn it dead easy. I just want you to put fn a line in the play after you wake 1) saying that you had slept on one of Blank’s patent spring beds. That's all you've got to do, and there’s $10 a night in it for you, and it is an article that—” out Mr. Jefferson had fled. ——_—__+e+_____ A Pastel of Manhattan. From Truth. The old man had been away doing the continent and had just returned, as was evident from the foreign hotel “stickers” on the bag he carried. He was evidently in a hurry, too, for he came around the corner with a rush that carried him full tilt into the broad expanse of a roundsman coming the other way. “Gosh! Whoop! Beg pardon—" the old man began. “Excuse me! Carelessness it- seif, I'm sure. I hope—’ The resplendent cap the officer courteously interrupted him. “Don’t mention it, sir. I beg your pardon sincerely. It was my own fault. The old. man’s jaw fell and he slunk away as though in sudden alarm, as the officer, with a profound bo’ passed on. “Gosh!” he muttered feebly, “this sun is pretty hot, and I guess my hearing isn't what it used to ‘be. But that hat certain- ly went up! And he didn’t even hunch me—not a hunch! Do f{ look like Brynes? Something's wrong!” A policeman stood mopping his face on the corner and the old man approached him with the air of one in painful doubt. “He can’t do any more than run me in!” he said to himself, “and if I've got a sun- stroke I may as well find it out.”” “Very warm day,” he observed casually, in a tone that was meant to be unconcern- ed, but which to the close observer would have betrayed a hideous fear. The officer did not seem to notice it. “It is, sir,” he replied courteously, “very warm indeed! I hope howe that it may be cooler tomorrow.”” The old man 21 back against a lamp post. ‘Mad! he murmured, ‘mad as a March hare! Oh, why did they let me off the ship!” “Officer,” he said desperately, as one who dares all in a final throw, “Officer, come in and have a drink with me, will you?’ The officer gazed searchingly at the old man. He noted itis pitiful azitation and wirked softiy to himself. “No, I thank you, I never drink, Mr. Roosevelt,” he an- Swered. But the old man did not hear the name. The final shock of the nezution was too much for his shattered nerves. He had fallen, a lifeless heap, upon the pavement. ++ —____ Instinct. From the Albany State.

For my own part I've made a great many voyages in all parts of the world. I never have been seasick yet, but I don’t think I ever step- ped on board a steamer without having the thought that this may be my turn.” The first speaker turned at this, and winked ‘at the others at the table, as much as to indicate, “Well, we won’t see much of our friend if we have rough weather.” | The others replied with a smile, as if they indorsed his views. The first and second day until midnight passed pleasantly. Then the ship began to pitch and roll, and well it might, for it had struck the track of a cyclonic storm and the next morning it was in the midst of the storm itself. When the traveler who feared that “this might be his time” found his way to his seat, he discovered that his companions were missing. “It was rather a hard night, steward,” he said. “A great many of the passengers sick, T suppose?” “That they are, sir,” answered the stew- rd. “All of this table sick, sir, but you, ‘What! Mr. Blank also?” asked the yoy- ager In mock surprise, as he mentioned the name of the person who couldn’t get sick. “Well, I'll have to go to see him later.” A few hours later he found Mis way to the cabin of the superior sailor, who was groaning wretchedly, when not imploring some one to knock him on the head and throw him overboard. “Why, how ts this, Blank? You seasick?” The victim made an effort to collect him- melf. “Evidently he recalled the foolish remark of the first day. “Oh,” said he, “I'm not seasick. It's only a slight nausea. You see it was this way. My tooth brush was a bit old. In cleansing my teeth this morming a loose bristle caught in my throat and nauseated me. To be sure, I'm not quite myself yet in the stomach, but it isn’t Seasickness, I assure you, and now go away, won't you, old man? for I don’t feel like talking.” “Four days later Mr. Blank pulled him- self together, and got on deck, very pale, very weak and dejected. “Ah! Blank, I'm glad to see you around again,” remarked his‘ acquaintance. “By the way, how’s that tooth brush, with the loose bristle?” “D— the tooth brush,” muttered the man. It upset me completely, and I sup- pose every one thinks I was seasick. But I was not, I can assure you; it was only those confounded locse bristles.” —____-e-__ Ss = of Women.

Patrick Furlong, one of the 587 policemen discharged by Superintendent Badenoch Tuesday night, is going to sue Inspector Hunt for the value of a luxuriant growth of red whiskers. Furlong was attached to the. Woodlawn station, and on account of h‘s personal appearance was known as the “farmer copper.” Tuesda. morning Inspector Hunt met Furlong and, in a joke,#said tc him: “Pat, you'll have to take off those whisk- ers if you want to stay on the police force. You look too much like a farmer with whiskers down to your belt.” That afternoon Furlong dropped into a barber shop “between pulls” and had the whiskers shaved off. When he reported at the station in the evening for roll call the change in bis appecrance was so great he had to prove his identity. Furlong lives in Bridgeport, and, when he got home Tues- day night, his most irtimate friends failed to recognize him, Of course, everybody wanted to know why he shaved off his whiskers, “I always do as my superior officer tells me,”’ said Furlong to his friends, “and when the inspector said ‘Shave ‘em off,’ I didn’t argue.” When Furlong reported for duty at the Woodlawn station yesterlay morning he was. shown the order which brought sor- row to many policemen. Furlong ran his finger down through the list until he came to the twelfth precinct. The first name he saw was his own. Surely there was a mis- take. Furlong thought, for had not In spector Hunt told him the day before that if he shaved off his whiskers he would be all right. Furlong sought the inspector. He asked if it were true that he had been dismissed. The inspector said the order as issued was probably correct. ““Well, if I'm discharged,” replied Fur- long, “I'll make somebody smart. You told me yesterday to shave off my whiskers and I'd be all right. I did it and I get it where the chicken got the ax. Some one has got to pay for those whiskers. I wore them for years when I was driving an Archer aveaue car, and they were the pride of Bridgeport. ‘You told me to shave ‘em off, and I'm just. going to hold you responsible for the less. You've had your laugh and now I'll have mine.” Furlong says he will make no claim for definitely stated damages, but he* will let a jury decide the worth of the whiskers. ——-+e-- —____ Evidence of Failure.
