Y L. G. iIillman was riding his 56-inch
bicycle down the sidewalk in front Of Mrs.
Clark's residence, in South Woodstown
on Monday evening, at a Manifestations
gait, and reached the gate of Maealtioner's
meadow Just as . motherly old cow
emerged therefrom and crossed the path TO
the street. 1t was too late for the bicycler
to hold in, and the COW vas not caring
anything about it, consequently there was
n collision, the big wheel of the bicycle
striking the COW amidships and the rider
turning a double somersault over the ami
mails back, into the grass by the roadside,
fortunately without serious damage. The
COW. after the first shock of surprise, took
to her heels and ran down the road to the
bridge over Chestnut run, where she
halted, faced about and contemplated the
scene with big astonished eyes, while the
bicycle laid itself down ON the grass. after
executing a few curvets on its " ac-
count. Nobody hurt. but considerable
amusement all around. I

We chronicled sometime since a seriou 5
accident to Elijah %lIorner, OF Fort Collins,
Colorado, which resulted in the loss of his
leg by injuries received i'll jumping from a
wagon, the team attached to which was
running away, the injuries making am
putation necessary. For a while, Mr..
%ITorner appeared to be doing well, and in
a fair way to recovery, but later intelli-
gence has been received to the effect
that modification had set in on the injured
limb and another amputation had been
performed. leaving the sufferer in a critical
condition. This will be sad new to Mr..
Horner's many friends in this vicinity.

Special to Coffee Buyers.

Last winter when we begun
selling two pounds OF prime
Rio Roasted Coffee for 25c., we
could get it at a cost OF Io}4c.
by making large purchases of
first hands. For the past two
months the coffee market has
been continuously strong, and
prices have gradually tended
upwards till now, and no pros
pect of lower figures The con
sequence is that coffee that cost
us in March Io54c, to-day costs
Ice. We have our choice,
either to stop selling it or raise
prices. Ne can get plenty to
sell at old prices, but the quality
is not such as We can recon-
mend, therefore, those who want
this grade viii be obliged to pay
IS cents for > pounds, instead
Of Is cents as before, Posi-
bly, your nearest dealer will tell
you that he has not changed his
prices He don't have to #
he selling a coffee costing I2e
at roc. We claim that ours is
as good as many sell at that
price.
