"O n ce on an ocean steamer,” said a

the engines stopped for five or six hours.
I had often read and heard about how
the captaiu was the great mogul aboard
ship, how about all things pertaining
to the affairs of the ship he held aloof
und must not be approached by the pas
sengers, and that it was a sort of viola
tion o f the unwritten rules of the sea
for a passenger to ask the captain any
thing. And there may he some reason
iu all th is; if one passenger might ask
him, 40 might, nud surely the command
er of the ship ought uot to be unneces
sarily disturbed by useless questions.
We hud been lying there three or four
hours waiting. There was no danger
whatever, but it was a delay and an in
cident of interest, and of course all the
passengers talked about nothing else—
the common information was that the
delay was due to a heated bearing.
“ I was standing on the upper deck
by the door to the main eon) pan ion way
leading to the deck below. The captain
came along the upper deck from the
after part of the ship and went below
by that companionway. Ho must pass
w ithin a foot of me, and under the cir
cumstances it did not seem like a vio
lently unreasonable breach of salt water
etiquette to ask him what was the mat
ter, which I did. A passenger who stood
on the other side of the doorway looked
at me w ith the amused smile of an older
traveler. The captaiu said nothing. He
simply passed on, to all outward ap
pearances quite unconscious of my ques
tion or even my presence. ” — New York

BICYCLES FORCE ECONOMY.
C h ic a g o Shopkeeper» Say E v e ry One
E co n o m izin g to B u y a W h e el.
1«
Storekeepers and tradesmen have their
own ideas on political economy. They
do not explain the depression in busi
ness and the financial difficulties by any
of the stereotyped arguments of the pub
lic speaker. With them the cause is uot
the outflow of gold, it is not the silver
dollar— it is the bicycle. If the tw enti
eth century fulfills the prophecy that the
man who does not ride a bicycle w ill be
a curiosity they say they w ill close up
(hop.
Every bicycle rider, they say, is in
training— physical or economic. If he
is not preparing to win medals or cash
prizes or pianos he is paying for his
wheel. To the bicycle as a hygienic in
vention they do uot object; for the rich
man they think it is just the thing. But
they do not like it on the installment
plan. The installment plan, in the dic
tionary of the tradesman, means no c i
gars, no theater, no novelties in neck
wear and no meals for more than 15
cents.
The chapter in the tradesman's polit
ical economy devoted to statistics pre
sents figures something like these: In
Chicago there are about 150,000 persons
baying bicycles on the installment plan.
They are, as a rule, people who make
just enough money and have none to
spare. Some o f them figure expenses
so closely that a day's outing w ith their
best girls or w ith “ the hoys” means a
boycott of the street car for several
weeks. The bicycle for “ spot cash” had
little or no inducement for them, but
they have succumbed to the blandish
ments of the installment plan and are
its slaves for six months.
When the installment plan gets its
clutches on the young man w ith a salary
it takes $30 to start with. As a rule he
cannot spare this amount iu one month,
so he saves up his spending money for
mouths ahead. When he gets started he
gives up $10 a month. Bicycle dealers
are considerate in that, in most eases,
they do not take away the earnings of
tli< tradesman for more than six months.
Sometimes they take $5 a month, but
that is usually all the young man can
pay, and the agony of the tradesman
lasts nearly a year. However the m at
ter is figured up the tradesmen lose
about $2,000,000 a month. When their
statistician made his first report some
of them fainted.
The restaurant keeper, the cigar man
and the “ gents' ” furnishing goods man
can tell months ahead when a regular
customer is contemplating the install
ment plan. He comes into the restaurant
out of breath and pretends to be in a
great hurry. He takes a seat at the lunch
counter instead of at the table where he
is accustomed to sit. The w aiter brings
him a b ill of fare.
“ How long w ill it take to get a ten
derloin steak?” he asks.
"O h , about ten m inutes,” says the
waiter.
"T o o long. Can’t wait. Terrible hur
ry, yon kuow. B rin g,m e a ham sand
wich und a cup of coffee, aud he quick
about it. ”
When he has finished, he pays his 10
cent check without looking at the pretty
cashier and goes out on the ran.
A t the cigar store he drops from a 10
cent to a three fo r a quarter cigar. The
next day he finds something for a nickel
that he can bear. Then he gets to talk
ing about cigars being too strong for
him and buys a b o x of cigarettes. F in a l
ly he comes iu and gives the cigar man
a long tale about his best girl not want
ing him to smoke and says he has prom
ised to swear off. He tells the man
where he used to hny his neckties that
he has a very poor stock. The tie he
saw Jones wearing was a beauty, but he
cannot find one like it in town.
The storekeepers are resorting to all
sorts of devices to keep their trade. One
cigar mini has rented his window to a
bicycle agent and says he is catching
the spare change when the fellows come
in to pay their installments. A t many
of the restaurants there are racks in
front of the windows where riders are
invited to hook their wheels w hile they
take dinner. Restaurant keepers think
this w ill shame the wheelmen into buy
ing a good meal.— Chicago Record.

Adolph Friederichsl
A most fascinating man— brilliant,
dashing, sparkling, optimistic, im pul
sive and generous— a natural leader of
men. He hail all the qualities that win
men’s admiration. He had follies— and,
I almost said, vices— that conld only be
condoned by overshadowing them with
his m ultiplied virtues. By birth a Ger
man; by naturalization ail Aiuericau;
by profession a journ alist If yon would
know more of him, he was a short,
stocky m a il about 40 years of age, with
a smoothly shaven, round face, and a
leonine head like Millocker, the com
poser. He married a sweet faced, mild
tempered, little woman, who idolized
him and whom he loved w ith all the
warmth of an impnlsiToand affectionate
nature.
His income was sufficient for the
needs of an economical man, but Fried-
ericlis was not economical; he did not
premeditate extiavagance, but was one
of those unfortunates whose tastes were
patrician and whose means were ple
beian. He knew little or nothing of the
value of money; a bill or a coin was to
him as a leaf, and he “ the owner of un
bounded forests. ’ ’ He gambled some
times— uot often. When he won, he felt
no pleasure other than what earn«
through the purchase of some luxury for
the little w ife at home. When he lost, he
was depressed— not for the loss of the
money, but because the little w ife would
suffer some deprivation. Then his exu
berant disposition would assert itself,
and lie would cheerfully Itorrow such
sums as he needed from the first friend
who would lend. Many such obligations
were never repaid. His inability to meet
them w ithin a reasonable length of time
caused him lunch temporary annoyance;
then he neglected them and eventually
forgot them.
Anomalous as it may seem, his sense
of honor was high and strong. Had he
been accused of being truant to any
debt of honor he would have resented it
to any extremity. His weakness was his
optimism. It mattered not how dark and
cheerless the present,' the future was
roseate, the past was dead.
The morning of that rosy future never
dawned.
Friederichs sat in a room in a Chicago
hotel w ith two senators of the United
States. The city was filled w ith people
gathered for a special occasion. Men
were rushing about, pausing for hasty
handshakes or whispered consultation,
secret conferences were being held be
hind locked doors, and everything por
tended that an event of importance and
magnitude was about to take place.
W ithout a sw elling cheoris heard, m in
gled w ith the notes of a patriotic air
played by a brass band. Presently the
band wheels into sight from across the
street and marches down one of the
great thoroughfares. Follow ing comes
an army of men w ith flags and banners.
The conspicuous attire is long linen
coats and tall w hite hats. On tlieii
coats are badges of ribbon denoting the
•rganization to which they belong.
They carry no more formidable weapons
than light w alking sticks and sun um
brellas. They are greeted w ith cheers
from the surging, struggling mass that
lines the sidewalks, and an answering
cheer goes up from the nlstered, high
hatted line. Occasionally some uudulv
excited individual utters a yell.
A s the procession passes out of eight
a sim ilar one crosses on a side street,
and the crowd shifts and struggles into
position to obtain a view of the latter.
Thus the day is spent, thus the evening
and far into the night. It is a scene
with which Americans are familiar.
They know the meaning of this assem
bling of hosts, this gathering of clans.
On the morrow a national convention ol
a great political party is to be held to
select a candidate for president of these
United States.
“ Senator, I cannot do i t ,” said Fried
erichs to one of the men in his apart
