BILE, by purifying the blood.

Kidney Pills.
IL it is your kidneys which cause your
sleeplessEess. DR.. HOBBS Sparagus Kid

and giving them fresh life and strength
III ii is your brain, by cleansing and re-
newing the blood, through the improved

MILMoNAIRE RIDES A WHEEL.
MIR. William Rockefeller an Enthusi- =
astic Cyclist.

Mr.. William Rockefeller, who owns the
beautiful country establishment Rock
wood Hall, at Scarborough on the Hud-
SON, is a most enthusiastic bicyclist. He
is the owner of four or five wheels, one OF
them being an oil burning motor cycle.
He is often seen spinning through his
pretty park, and will stop aud talk TO
wandering wheelmen about bicycle tours
IL the notion strikes him. In order to
make wheeling easy for wheelmen and
wheelwomen, Mr.. Rockefeller has lately
constructed a cinder path from the be-
ginning OF his estate at Scarborough TO
Its end, near Tarrytown, making one OF
the finest biycle paths for tourists in
New York State.
Mr.. Rockefeiler is getting to be quite
a tourist himself. lie also likes TO coast
down the hills on his estate, and has
often proved himself to be an expert
rider IN cases CT emergency. lie makes
trips TO Tsrrytown on his bicycle nearly
every day, visiting the vast estate of his
brother, John d., and also rides to
Dobbs Ferry 10 see how the new million
aires club is progressing, as he has an
interest in the enterprise.
One OF Mr.. Rockefelier's favorite runs
lately has been TO the Robert Hoe prop
erty. IL Is a common occasion to see him
riding through the Woodland dells and
along the maple powered driveways OF
the 80 grounds near the river. He Of
ten dlsmounts in some shady nook and
talks TO the csretaker about the beauties
aud attractions of the place II is said
that he will In the near future buy the
place. have the old Hoe house rszed to
the ground and IN its place erect grand
haronal chateau, to be presented To his
daughter Emma on the dav OF her mar
riage TO David Hunter McAlpin II New
York.
Mr.. RockefeIcr's bicycle costumes are
very striking. Some days ne wears light
corded krickcrbocker suit, light colored
alpine bat. light cloth leggins and iight
tan color'd Shoes. Other DAYS he wears n
suit OF s9mc dark mte-ial with silk lin.
