know a young man who is considerably
admired by his lady friends, who wears q
bangle bracelet under his shirt cuff all the
time. He keeps it pushed back most of the
time, but is not at all ashamed at having it
observed and slyly admired by his friends.
So far / know there is no sentiment con-
nected with the bangle. 1 don't think any girl
wished it on" but the young man wears it
because he likes it as an ornament, because his
mind is like wOmans in those soft fancieS
for personal adjournment, and perhaps because
he thinks there's charm in it. There certainly
is not charm against the ridicule of coarse,
everyday men, and 1 regret the young

many other ways-goes to church regularly, is
good TO his family, &c. He is q bachelor, of

History Of the Bieyele.

THE ''DRAISINE' CONVERTED INTO THE AMER
ICAN "wHEEL" BY YANKEE INGENUITY,
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
In the year 1916 Baron Won Drafs constructed
a curious vehicle, consisting of two wheels of
equal size, placed one in front of the other and
connected by bar on which was a small seat.
The rider sat astride the bar and propelled the
vehicle by striking his feet against the
ground. This machine, very simple in mechan-
ISM was named the Drasine, and was the pro-
genitor OF the modern bicycle. In 1918 his
continuance was introduced to use in England,
and the year following made its appearance in
New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, and was
for a time quite popular.
Yankee ingenuity, however, set to work to
overcome the chief Inconvenience OF this, and
the three and four wheel VelOcipedes with
treadle attachments came into vogue. In 1863
aFrenchnan applied cranks to the fore wheel
OF the Draislne, having discovered that certain
speed would maintain the equilibrium of the
two-wheeier, and in 1866 further improve
introduced into New York.
II received little or no attention until 1868
~hen sudden popularity hOnOred 1t, and
everybody began to use II. The "bOneehak err -
as 1t was called, ragged for something more than
year, when II was as summarily abandoned
as IL had been enthusiastically taken up Some
English mechanics continued to work upon the
plan, however, and in 1876 the first approved
bicycle was imported and put ON exhibition at
our Centennial fair.
In 1878 the first American company for the
Manufacture of bicycles was organized and
the traffic in these articles has since increased
so steadily that no less than q, 900 were manu-
featured and sold in this country last wear and
In use in the United States, exclusive of boys
machines. The manufacture this year will be
much larger. the constantly growing popularity
OF the bicycle annually increasing the demand.

Murder at East Grand Forks.

GRAND FORKS, Sept. 2S.-I.ast night
about one o'clock Locke McLain, while
under the influence of liquor, went to the
house Of Mrs. Hutchinson, a ~disreputa-
BILE character at East Grand Forks, and
knocked for admission. The door was
opened by her son John, who occupied
the bed with his mother, and as McLain
entered he plunged the blade of a COM
mon barlow knife into his breast. Nc.
Lain was caught by two companions,
who had followed him and witnessed the
stabbing. They led him from the house
and after walking about 100 yards he
fell dead. McLain was an industrious
man and came here about two years ago
from Canada. Excitement uns high,
AZ the Hutchinsons are the lowest ofhu-
mainly. Hutchinson was found in an
clubhouse by Deputy Dryer, and arrest
ed. He said he did his man up and was
glad of it. Mrs. Hutchinson, when ar
rested, claimed she did the stabbing, but
the coroner's inquest found john HUTCH
ipson guilty. He waived examination,

NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA.

A prominent resident of South Dako.
Ia writes the INTER- OCEAN taking excep.
Ition to u position relative to the name
dakota" He suggests that the region
north of the forty.sixth parallel may be
known as "North Dakota" no matter
what the southern section chooses to
call itself. Very true, but the point in
our areumen against South Dakota ap.
propriating the single title dakota" is
that the north, having as great a claim
upon the name as the south, will.not per-
init the later to call itself a whole apple
pie when in reality it is only half of an
apple PIE, and not the best half either.
We are willing and anxious that South
Dakota should become q separate state;
North Dakota is satisfied with being a
territory for a few years. But the swim
ishness exhibited at Sioux Falls in at
tempting to appropriate the whole name
will necessarily create opposition on the
part Of North Dakota-an opposition
which is certain to show itself in Wash
ington this winter when the south half
asks for admission. Thus the earnest
| desire ofSouth Dakota for admission and
the anxiety on the part of the masses in
North Dakota that the south shall real
ize its desire are handicapped by the
s~elfisness exhibited at Sioux Falls. In
OTTER words, the South Dakota conven-
ton has taken an important step to-
ward defeating the main object of that
gathering. If the south shall take i'm
mediate steps toward rectifying the UNI
fortunate mistake by inserting in the
enabling act which IS to be laid before
congress the words "South Dakota" in.
stead of "Dakota," the people of the
north half, with the exception of the
corrupt ring politicians at Bismarck and
their Northern Pacific allies, will be a
unit in favor of the new state.
