From the st. Louis Republic.
st. Louis is to have a bicycle tire fac
tory in which nearly 1000 men will soon
be employed in the manufacture of a
new pumpless and puncture-proof tire
This new tire is bound to create a sensa-
ton among cyclists. for they have long
been anxiously awaiting the introduction
into the market of an easy-riding, light
weight puncture-proof tire. The manufac-
turers of the new tire claim to have
found practical substitute for the pneu-
matte tire. One of the tests consists of
riding the pumpless. steel-cushion tire
over track so feet long laid in equal
sections with tacks. sharp-edged rocks,
cinders. scrap iron. horseshoe nails, bro
ken glass and oyster shells.

He kept near as if it could be a saver

IN the mad scramble he was aware
that the color sergeant flfnched sud

faltered and then became mOtiOnless,

Then he made spring and a clutch
at the pole. At the same instant his

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
PATS PARADISE.

For years the rebellion dragged YEARLY on.
Each day saw the passing of men,
And souls that the reveille Weakened. at
dawn
1t never could waken again.
So dragged all the sorry misfortunes of
war.
So long was the carnage and strife.
The things that at first men were wont to
abhor
Became the vocstions of life.
And so at the lass when the fighting was
done
And the battle-scarred banners were
furled,
The men who had lived by the sword and
the gun
Must find a new task in the world
1t happened one morn. as they waited
around.
To get their discharges, few
OF the peace-released soldiers began to
PROFOUND
The things they were likely to do.
Some thought ii were best to do this or do
that.
And each gave voice to his views.
TIL some one, half joking. inquired Of
Pat"
What sphere he intended to choose.
Now be it remembered that all through the
war
Pat never found half enough sleep,
And the reveille call he had learned to abb
hor
With hate that was lasting and deep.
And Pat studied awhile. ere he answered.
and said:
Faith. there's wan thing know mighty
well.
If only had ten thousand dollars ahead
I'd build me place for to dwell.
AN I'd have me bed. an good wan, you
know,
An place just beyant on the lawn
Where a bugler would come an the rev
ellie blow
Every morn at the breakin' O. dawn.
'"Then I'd slip out O bed an the window
I'd boost,
An I'd shout in a tone harsh and deep
You go 10 the divilr an 80 back TO roost
An have all l wanted o. sleep"
