Whether the pneumatic tire OF u bicycle
consists of single rubber tube or an in
nCr one covered by a tubular shoe, it is
liable to be puncturcd or cut by running
over sharp stone or similar obstruction,
rendering immediate repair necessary
The whCelmun takes along in his kit
therefore, suitable bits of rubber, cement
the necessary tools for performing this
work on short notice and II hand pump for
rciniluting the tire. The New York Tib-
unc describes the manner Of using them
as follows: If the wheel he provided with
double tubes the inner one is cNtricatcd
and then mcndCd. usually by applying Il
thin sheet of india rubber to its exterior,
But with single tube II different plan is
pursued. AS much of the new material as
possible is placed Oh the inside. IL patch
/ he resOrted to- radial Sits from the central
/ hole are cut, IL folded disk having a stem
| in its center like Il lily pad is inserted, then
| the disk is opened out Dat, cement Is in
! truducod, the stem Is pulled outward firm
! ly enough to draw the new rubber snugly
against the inner surface of the old, and
! any portion of the stem then prOtrudine
is cut of. Sometimes the piece of rubber
thus introduced is IA plug, with head
shaped like tiny mushroom. This Is
| handled IN mucn Ilc Sdilo way Nhei
the tube is freshly inflated, the pressure
tends to tighten the joint between the
patch and the inner surface of the tire
and if the cement has been applied proper
ly and dries quickly the machine may bt
ready for use again in Il few minutes
Experience shows that the rubber used fol
such repairs should be uncurcd or unvul,
canizcd as its surface is then more read
lily softcned and made to adhere more per
fcctly TO the tire.

AN ELOQUENT PLEA.
And the Lawyer Who Made 1t Reaped
His Reward.

\ good story about a lawyer i going the
rounds. The occurrence took place 50 long
ago that it is not within the recollection of
any but the older disciples of Blackstone,
so it will pass muster even though it is Il
chestnut.
1t seems that tramp was indicted for
stealing watch He was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty Having no counsel
and being without funds and a total
stranger the court assigned his defense to
the attorney in question. The tramp was
rs guilty as a man ever was, but as the at
toney was young in practice and DESTROYS
of grinding off some of his wire edges
against the district attorney he accepted
the task and entered upon its discharge
with all the zeal at his command. lie had
absolutely no defense. His client practi'
cally admitted the theft and sat through
the trial in an attitude of detection and de
spair,
Nothing daunted, the young attorney rose
before the jury TO sum up his case. Provi
dence had endowed him with tongue capa
bic of almost anything. He had his adj
dress at his tongues end, and the manner
in which he reeied it off established his
name in the community in characters as in
etfaceable rs the rock ribs on old Gibraltar.
lie held the ~ men, tried and true, spell

wonder Alternately they laughed and
cried, and people in the audience followed
their example He pleaded the hopeless
cause Of the guilty tramp with all the elo
quence of Burke, and when he had fin
shed the enthusiasm Of the spectators
seemed to know no bounds. 1t is said that
it took the jury just eight minutes to white
wash the tramp and provide him witt
wings and halo. The verdict was for ac
quittal.
The tramp-so thoroughly surprised ano
overcome with emotion that he could hard

streaming down his cheeks. There WA

the terrors or an unseen zoe was quickly
added one still more appalling. Inc red
skins set fire TO the tall grass ana suge
brush on the side from which ustroug WIND
was blowing. The flames spread rapidly
and drove binding clouds Of smoke over
the beleuguered corral
In short time the wagon covers, grain
sacks and all cumbustiblcs in and around
the camp were in a blaze. There was no
water within reach, but the soldiers were
able to smother the flames in their para
pets by covering them with blankets,
blouscs and empty grain sacks. WINE
this was going on the Indians attacked with
redoubled fury. Captain Payne was wound
ed twice. lieutenant and several men
killed and many wounded. 1t was 81 O'Clock
The fire had swept on, and the Indians
Withdrew to their cover, still continuing
their relentless shower of bullets into the
camp. At shutdown they made desperate
[ charge almost to the edge of the corral, but
| the heroic soldiers arose from their cover
| and emptied more than score of saddles
| of reckless warriors. That ended the at
/ tac, for the day.
During the night the rude intrcnchments
were strengthened, the dead animals
dragged ont to the picket pits, water was
found. and three daring couriers slipped
out of camp to seek for aid. The next day
the Indians renewed their fusillade and sue
ceeded in killing every horse within the
inclosure On the second day, Oct l, the
couriers who had left camp the first night
met scouting party Of the Ninth cavalry
and told the news The leader was Captain
Dodge. Instead of pushing at once for the
camp on Milk river, he put his men int
bivouac for the purpose Of deceiving an!
roaming Indian scouts in the ueighhorhoo'
and after dark set out with 40 men tul

speed for the scene of danger The distance
was IS miles, but they made it by day
break, Just as the Indians began their daily
fusilade upon the trenches.
Cheer after cheer arose from the camp
when Dodges troop rode out in the plain
and stopped to recunnoiter the Indian po-
sition. The main force of Utes lay upon
"A hill, with its sides almost perpendicular,
where "A charge would have been reckless
waste of life and Dodge reluctantly turned
the heads Of his horses back toward the
camp of his bcleaguered comrades.
Captain DOdCe's re-entOrccments swelied
Payne's little army to nearly $50 lighting
men, The Indians outnumbered the brave
fellows three to one. Dodge had brought
in 10000 rounds of cartridges and days
rations for the whole party. 1t was decided
to hold the corral until the last man fell or
relief came from outside. The Indians had
scooped out rifle pits in the ground, and with
piled up rocks for loopholes remained well
hidden for the rest of the battle. The sol
/ diers also remained in cover except at night,
/ when il was necessary to sally out for wa
/ ter or to remove dead horses from the cor
/ raj. Out of the 10 horses brought i'll by
Dodge 80 were killed aud 4 wounded by In
dian bullets.
One hope animated the imprisoned men
during the days that followed Dodge's ar
rival. The couriers that gave the news to
Dodge had pushed on toward Rawlins, on
the Pacific railroad, where the wires con
nected with Fort Russell, Wy. Colonel
Merritt was there with battalion of tn,
Fifth cavalry Numbering POO men, and 10,

Rawlins and the distance from that point

cred by forced march in As hours. At
/ o'clock on the morning of Oct. D the dus
of Merritt's column was deserted by
lookout at the corral, and instantly thu
valley of Milk river rang with the hal
choked cheers of the PROSTATE men.
After relieving Paynes men, Merritt
rode on to the White River Agency anc

dams were swarming for the attack upon
it. They had divided their enemy's forces,
although they had not penetrated bet
the detuchments.
Thornburgh directed Cherry to once more
act as forlorn hope and with 20 men corer
Lawson's retreat to the wagons, where
Payne's men had united with Paddock :
ID company and formed the strongest body
on the ground. If Lawson could get his
men back, a massacre might be avoided.
Cherry once more saved the day by ii ghting
heroically against enormous odds, Two OF
his men fell dead, and several were wound
ed, but he held his ground until Lawson's
company was safe and then retreated, carry
ing his dead and wounded off the tield, The
movement, however cost the lie Of the
gallant leader, Thornburgh
When Cherrys little band encounterec
the Indians ON the last advance and Law
sons company started back TO the wagons,
Thornburgh set out to cross the space be
tween the two columns. He kept well out
to the front, so as to be near Cherry in case
of disaster He rode alone, and when with
in 500 yards of his destination was shot
dead. with no hand nigh to rescue his body
from savage vengeance.
Captain Payne took command in place of
Thornburgh. The soldiers all united at the
wagons, and a strong corral was formed
about 200 yards from the river bank. The
wagons were dismantled and the boxes
with all their contents piled up for breast
works. About 90 horses, which had been
wounded and disabled in the fight, were
led out some distance from the parapet and
shot dead to form cover for the skirmishers.
After all was done the space on the river
side of the corral was an open range for
Indian bullets fired across the stream.
Meanwhile the Indians sneaked up along
the bluffs within range of the camp, and
although not savage form could be seen
by the soldiers the crack Of their Sharp's
and Winchester rifles was incessant, and
their bullets played havoc among the horses
and men crowded within the corral. To

The Armenians are one of the most an-
cient races in the world. Their country
is mentioned by XenophOn and Ezekiel
and in the cuneform inscriptions of Baby
Ion and Assyria All the nations that sur
rounded them have passed away, but they
remain, though their country has been
harried with fire and sword for centuries.
The speaker ascribed the permanence OF
tho Armenian race to the virtue of their
women and the exceptional purity and
stability of their family life. Even in
their heather days polygamy was m-
known TO them. They have been Chris
tian nation for more than 800 years and
have undergone perpetual persecution for
their faith from the surrounding oriental
peoples. --Lecture by A. Aboyian.

1t is generally believed in Christian
countries that a Mussulman can marry
as many women as he pleases. This is
an error. Whoever he may be and no
matter to what society he may belong
tne Mussulman can only have four legi-
tImate wives at time. 1t is only the
number of odalisks that is unlimited,
and that depends upon the amount of
a mans fortune. He can have as many
odalisks as he Is able to support. The
children born of odalisks, or even slaves,
are recognized by law as just on the
same footing as the children born of
wives. Among the Mussulmans there
are no illegitimate children, and the
fact that mans mother was a slave is
no dishonor and no disgrace. San
