About Bicycles.

There's no more reason why
you should pay $50 or SO for
a frst-class Bicycle than why
you should give say SIS for a
high,grade Sewing Machine.
The time has passed when any
maker of either Bicycles or
Sewing Machines can monopo-
lie the good things that go
into either.
When we took up the BIZ
cycle business last season it
was to deal with them just as
we dealt with merchandise of
every other sort-buy and sell
them without extravagant pro-
fit to anyone.
1t would surprise most BIZ
cycle riders to know how little
a f~rst-class Wheel really costs.
But there are some necessary
patented things that lift the
expense a little.

The Prevailing styles for Ladies Tailor
Gowns

The tailor costume is exceedingly
popular this season. These gowns are
worn everywhere, in town, in the couu-
try and even at the seashore and In the
mountains. They are made 10 every
kind of material: light woolens, serge,
duck, ginghams, and faulalds. This
prevailing fashion calls for great
variety OF models and every style of
French and English coats are brought
into requisition. As for the skirts, al
though their simplicity is always adhered
TO, in accordance with the severe tailor
system Of dressing, they, nevertheless,
exhibit diversity of styles. This fact
is well examplified In the latest Mcdowell
Fashion Magazines which contain, be-
side several pretty and practica! models,
the patterns of which can be secured by
means OF coupons at exceedingly moder-
ale prices. These coupons form an at
tractive monthly feature In the Mcdowell

A BAD YEAR.
Grasshoppers In February, Snow In Juno
and Hard Times Generally.

According to the weather records
kept in Bennington, the month of
February, 1912, was decidedly tropical.
The record states that in the early
part of the month of that year there
was little frost in the ground and
showers were frequent.
The Vermont State Banner-now
the Bennington Banner--states that
on the Sd of the month Mr.. Ford
brought into the Office handful of
grasshoppers. Squirrels had made
their appearance, and it was reported
that frogs had been seen in the ponds.
Rev. Z. w. Hooker, ID. D., pastor of
the old First church at Bennington
Center, became alarmed over such
continued mild weather for this lati-
tude, and predicted that dire results
would follow, and to the credulous it
subsequently seemed as though the
good doctors words had the ring of
prophecy in them. But, though the
mornings rose bright and sunny, and
south wind blew soft and spring-like
few hearts expanded with the sun
shine of happiness.
The scarcity of money was uneXam-
pied. Nothing but due bills was in
circulation. The laboring man could
find little or nothing to do, and he
seldom heard the ring of coin or the
rustic of bank note. June IL, of the
same year there was a clustering
snow storm, the snow falling TO the
depth of three inches. June ii there
was slight frost and at subsequent
periods in the same month the weather
was so severe that ice formed a half
inch thick. A breath of icy wind
swept through the valley. All vege-
tables, except those of the most hearty
sort, were cut down.
Again, the people were laboring
under excitement, owing to the second
advent doctrine as held and preached
by Rev. William Miller. A few weeks
previous to 1912 the bank of Benning-
ton had failed, and the loss to the
people was considerable. Without
work or money and the belief by
many of the worlds coming to an end
in 1s43, men found it hard to face
their lives. But the crops of 1912
were good in spite of killing frosts in
June, though the hard times contin-
ued with varying intensity for many
years.

PENINSULA POINTERS.

Within the past seven days q dwelling
house, large blacksmith shop and an en-
CINE house have been destroyed by fire
ut the Kloman mine location. The build
ings were all unoccapied. 1t is believed
that the fire is the work Of an inceDdi-
airy.
The body of Milo b. Gibbs, which was
found with bullet hole in the head. has
been viewed by the coroDer's jury at
Manistioue. The verdict returned Is
that the man came to his death by shot
cred by some unknown person. Suicide
is also limited.
A piece Of land near Marquette which,
until two years ago was dense swamp,
has been taken up by an Improvement
company and properly drained and now
is known as North Marquette. Buildings
have rapidly sprung up there, and now
It is proposed to erect a $4,000 mill for
woodworking.
The receivers OF the Colby mine have
closed that property, and will not resume
operations until the strike at the other
Gogebic mines issettled. They took this
step because the stock pile men quit last
Friday, and because they considered II
only matter OF a few days untilthe walk
ing delegates, who precipitated the strike
at lronwood, would induce The Colby min
ers and helpers to join in the demand for
morepay.
Ira E. Goucher, South Shore station
agent at Au Train, has skipped to parts
unknown with the funds OF the company
and also the express company OF which
he was agent. Some time last fall Couch
er claimed to have been sapdbagged and
robbed OF 500. Ip The light Of this tran
saction it seems likely that he resorted
to this subterfuge to cover up then-ex-
listing shortage.

Mass Meeting at Ironwood.

A monster mass meeting OF union and

days and that the companies will protect

Edmund Gosse was lecturing on
Hans Andersen. Part of the subject
was devoted to the early life of the
great story-writer. In pathetic terms,
Mr. Gosse described tn, strange am
bition of the little lad to become an
opera-dancer = how, at length, he
found himself in the drawing-room
of famous danseuse, whom he had
called upon to aid him in his salta tori
al career. Hans was most anxious to
show the lady what he could do with
his twinkling feet,so to dance the more
lightly he took off his boots. Said
MIR. Gosse: THE lady immediately
left the room" The lecturer had
only finished this sentence when a
solemn-looking gentleman remarked,
in load-telling whisper: II amt
at all surprised ut her I've been in
Denmark myself and knows what
they're like"
