Nine. Da Coma was riding bicycle on

her husband sitting on a trapeze hung
from the bicycle, the guy wire gave

Intending Single Tube Tires.

IF your tire is of the hose pipe va
riety, tire tape is a good thing to carry,
and it is handy thing to have anyway.
1t will oftentimes serve as a temporary
expedient on the road until repair
shop can be reached. First the leak has
to be located Take the wheel off and
put it into water deep enough to sub
merge part of the tire and rim. Then
slowly turn the wheel around AS soon
as bubbles begin to rise the leak has
been found Having found it, take one
of the mushroom shaped plugs, and,
covering it with cement, push it in. It
will perhaps be necessary to enlarge the
hole to get the plug in. When it is in,
pull it out as far as possible and cut it
off quite close If yon are lucky-for,

A FAMILY BROWNS.
A Pleasure Boat Capsizes in
Seven Feet of Water.
Women on Board Ran to One
Side and Screamed.
FIVE BODIES FOUND.
Only Two of the Occupants
Made Their Escape.
FIVE BODIES FOUND.

OcEANs1DE, Md, Aug. 1s.-By the
overlooking of small pleasure boat,
an entire family was drowned, and
two other families are in mourning.
A party of farmers from the neighbor-
hood of Frankfort and Selbyville,
Del, had a fish fry on Grey's creek, a
branch of the Isle of Wight bay, with
bathing, fishing and amusements.
William Hudson carried a party of
nine out sailing, and as the boat was
about to come back, the women of the
party jumped, screaming, on the high
side, capsizing the little craft, which
was hardly large enough to carry five
persons.
The following seven were drowned:
William Storr, aged As years, Phila-
delphia.
Laura storr, his wife, aged IS; his
daughters, Ida, aged 16, and May,
aged IA.
Myrtle Stevens, aged 1e, daughter
of Joseph Stevens of SheIbyville.
Lima Hall, aged 10, and her sister,
Lulu Hall, aged IA, daughters of Elisha
Hall of near Frankfort
The capsizing occurred within 200
yards of the shore, and in water seven
feet deep. Mr.. Storr had only one
hand and was blind in one eye, but
was an expert swimmer. He succeeded
in getting his two daughters on the
bottom of the boat, and was getting
his wife, when the girls became scared
and slipped off of the boat, and went
to their parents, and together the four
persisted.
Hudson who was sailing the boat,
got the two Hall girls on the boat,
and was trying to save Miss Stevens,
when they slipped off, and were
drowned before he could get to them.
Two other young ladies who were in
the boat were rescued by a fisherman,
who put off from the shore as the
boat capsized. Mr.. Storr was found
shortly after his family, and Miss
Stevens body was found by hauling a
seine. Large parties are searching
for the bodies of the other two.

How to Clean the Bearings.

The best way to clean the bearings Of
wheel is to take them out and then
remove all dirt and rust from them. 1t
is, however, no easy matter for one who
has not some natural talent to replace
them. Most persons will find it more
satisfactory to get gritty substances out
of the bearings with the aid of kerosene.
This should be poured into the oil wells,
the wheel being kept revolving con-
stantly. Old clothes should be worn at
this job, as the kerosene is likely to
splash. A generous amount of oil should
be run in after the kerosene has drained

"A Street Scene That Entertained the

There was a little comedy enacted

a small but select audience, says Phila-

with black hair and big brown eyes,
had Just left an adjacent restaurant
with a bashful looking young man. The
latter seemed eager to get away from
his fair companion, but didn't seem to
know just how to go about it. Several
people who were waiting for a car were
startled to hear the young woman ex-
claim:
well, you can't so until you kiss
mer' OF course, everybody turned to
look. The bashful looking young man
grew very red in the face, but the dark
eyed maiden put up a pair Of tempt
ing red lips and waited for the oscula-
tory salute. "Ah! kiss herr" remarked
one of the bystanders. The bashfu1
youth seemed undetermined whether
to take the proffered advice or to take
to his heels.
He finally decided upon the former
course, and stopped over the patient,
upturned face. Then there was sound
ing smack, a suppressed scream. and
the young man disappeared hastily up
Ninth street, while the young woman
stTolled leisurely out Walnut.

The great opportunities of our coun-
try are in the south. The food of i'm
migration which has been pouring into
this country for fifty years has sought
the west, the northwest and the Paci-
fic coast. In these southern states we
find, as nowhere else in the country,
the original stock which fought at Cow
mems and Kings mountain and York
town. The composite of all races which
has developed the continent from the
great lakes to the Pacific has set
standard Of progress difficult to sur
pass. They had the advantage Of vir-
gin soil and uninhabited regions in
which to locate and build their Com
monwealths and found their cities.
The int eiligent patriotism of the
southern people in the last quarter of
a century has overcome difficulties
which seemed insurmountable A
recognition of the assimilatinz and ele-
waiting power Of education has created
the new South with it's hospitable in
vitation and boundless resources. The
young men of the south have no call
to tempt fortune in the crowded cities
of the north or the east. At their doors
and within their own states are their
missions and their cares.-Chauncey M.
Depew.

A Hot Fight Expected to Break Out in the
State Convention.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Aug. 19.-Since
the selection of delegates in the diff
ferent counties, it is evident that there
will be close fight between the free
silver men and their opponents on the

troll the state executive committee, of
which Allan W. Thurman is chairman.
and the Brice men control the state

determined who will control the con-
vention Wednesday. If the free silver
men secure the organization, it is be-
lieved they will nominate Colonel

Dr.. Endicott Says the Chinese Officials Are
to Blame for the Riots.
TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 19.-The
Ledger has received by mail from
Shanghai the first copy to reach this
country of the report of Rev. DIR. J.
Endicott, D D., who was delegated by
the American and Canadian mission
aries to investigate and report upon
the Cheng Tu riots in the Szechuan
province.
DR.. Endicott's conclusions are as fol-
lows:
1.-The history of past riots does not
encourage us to hope for much in the
way of discovering the real origin of
these, but the conclusion is forced
upon US that the high officials are to
blame. The officials had ample power
in their hands to quell the riot at it's
very beginning, for there was an album
dance of soldiers with arms and am
munition at Cheng tn. Had the Off
Gals been friendly some of these
forces would have been quickly util-
lied to quel the disturbances The
viceroy is directly responsible for the
riots. He is known to be anti-foreign y
The report states that a crisis has
been reached in mission operations,
that foreign nations should change
their policy and give the mandarirs to
understand that they must treat
American, British and other nations
with respect and afford them protee-
ton; that unless this is done the future
outlook before the missionaries who
labor in the interior of China will be
dark indeed

You Don't Know, Perhaps.
Bones are the framework of the hui
man body. If 1 had no bones in me

have now and grandma would be glad,
but like to have motion. Bones give
me motion because they are something
hard for motion to cling to. II l had
no bones, my brains, lungs, head, ana
larger blood vessels would be lying
around in me sort of ioose-like. and

In a kind of acid, I would be timber.

l had rather be soaked than burned.
Some of my bones don't grow snug to
my other bones like the branches of a
tree do, and I'm glad they don't, for il
they did I couldn't play leap-frog and
other good games know. The reason
they don't grow that way is because
they have joints. Joints is good things
to have in bones. There are three
kinds. The ball ana socket joint is like
my shoulder joint Teacher showed it
to US, only it was the thigh of COW.
One end was round and smooth and
whitish, that is the ball end. The other
end is the socket. It is saucer-like and
oils itself. Another joint is the hinge
joint, like my elbow. It swings back
and forth, oiling itself, and never
creaks like the school-room door does.
The other joint amt much of joint.
It's the skull and don't have no motion.
All my bones put together in the
right place make a skeleton. If leave
out some or put some in their wrong
places it amt no skeleton. Crippled
and deformed people don't have no
skeletons. Some animals have their
skeleton on the outside. I'm glad 1
amt them animals, for my skeleton
like it is on the chart wouldn't look
well on the outside.
