An OLIVE LEAFS MISSION.
It's rejection Followed by Great
Events i'm European History.

From tie Youths ComIsnion
While Bismarck was Prussian envoy at
faris he made short Pyrenean tour, and
at Avignon made the acquaintance of a
yctng couple named Luning who wore

spot Ore day the three set out toge.he

themselves In the carriage when tele-
gram was handed Bismarck 1t was a
message from King William, summoning
him to return TO Berlin and assume the
post of minister president. The Prussia n
chamber had rejected the estimates for a
reformed army, which was the first conGi-
uCn OF ether reforms, and the king was
in despair.
Bismarck made no secret of the contents
of the telegram, and frankly expressed a
hope that he might succeed in reconciling
the government and the chamber But
he would not interrupt the drive and they
went on along the bank of the Rhone until
reaching the vineyards and olive groves

stroll. Suddenly Madame Luning stopped

Il will accept half of it, he answered

May the other half. with this rose, bring
you, dear madam, constant peace in your

there he found the king with his abdfcation
signed and ready. He refused in those
circumstances to take office, and when the
king asked him if he were prepared to
govern against a majority of the chamber
he answered, Yes" without the slightest
hesitation. The abdication was torn up,
and Bismarck accepted office. 1t was dur
ing this struggle that the king said

EASE OF THE TIRE REPAIR.
Any Rider May FIX a Puncture Win
the Utmost EAse.


From the Philadelphia Press o
Many new riders both men and women.
are unduly nervous over the fear of pune
turing their tires. The old riders never
give the matter a thought and for two
reasons. First, the percentage of pune
lures to miles ridden, with tires of the sin
gle tube variety, is very small; and, sec
ondly, the matter of repair is SO simple
that any rier Of average intelligence can
go through the necessary operation and
avoid the disagreeabie homeward Journey
afoot.
Fo" over two years the writer has used
single tube tires without a mishap. but
knowing that there were others not so for
tunate, determined to visit a repair shop
and see If the operation of doctoring a
puncture was as difficult as pictured. He
found a beautiful specimen in the case of
horseshoe nail that had entered the treai
OF the tire, and not only penetrated the
opposite side, but had entered the wood
rim at least half an inch. In this case Il
was necessary 10 first remove the tire af-
ter extracting the nail carefully with a.
pair OF pliers. This was done by placing
II in an oven kept at a Temperature of AL
most $50 degrees. Only a few minutes
were necessary 10 soften the shellac bv
which the tire is attached, and it was care
iully rolled off the rim. The horseshoe nail
had left two ragged holes showing the
irayed ends of the fabric and the first
operation consisted of heating a blunt
probe red hot in a gas burner and insert
ing IL IN one OF the apertures. This burned
the hole clean and round, and prevented
the cut from spreading, as one sometimes
sees split finger mail scored with a knife.
Inc TIRE was then inverted and small
quantity OF liquid cement was squirtcd in
10 the aperture. medium-sized plug such
as supplied with the repair kit was then
Iorced in with a small pair of round pliers:
the plug was pulled out and left project
ing half AN inch beyond the tire After
working II around so that the cement
would be distributed as evenly as possible
over the ftange Of the rubber patch the
,lre was inflated after the other puncture
nad been treated in similar manner.
Nhen thoroughly Set the plug was cut off
nush with the tire and was then ready for
use. "
The reader who has picked up a nail or
thorn ten miles from home is apt tc ask
now TINS benefits him without an oven and
gas burner and all the appliances. IL YOU
nave your repair kit with you a patch can
DE inserted without burning the hole blt
care should be taken to allow the cement
10 set before resuming riding: or a piece
"i cheWlng gum can be fastened on with
tlre tape, and one will be able 10 ride
nome. when a permanent repair can be
made as above described This ease of re-
par Is the reason why single tube tires are
so popular.

WOMAN AND WATCHES.
An Ohio Girl Learns Watch Making.
and Goes Into business.

and Goes Into business.
From the New York Herald.
Woman invaded a great majority of the
fields over which man once reigned alone
long ago. Now she has added one more 20
| the list, watch making, and the most shock
ing feature of alto man-is that she is
very clever at it, indeed.
OF course, there rave been women EN-
plcyed in watch factories for years. That
however. is very different from looking
after watches in the watch hospital. the
jewelry store. and making them as good
new.
There is a young woman in Dresden.
Ohio, Miss Nina Tingler, who knows all
about watches. What is more she has
just received certificate of membership In
the Philadelphia Theological Society. This
Is an honor of which no other woman can
boast. She tells her own story in these
words:
watch, not your well-regulated timepiece.
but one of those watches that has a char
acter of its own, and unless handled Alright
quickly gets out of order, and keeps dozen
different times in many hours?
Il got this odd idea when listening to a
lady customer to my father complain of .he
vagaries of her watch, which, subsequent
investigation proved, We're very much like
her own. Then j wondered IL watches did
have character, and the first thing 1 knew
L was seated at my fathers work bench
investigating. L became so interested that
1 proposed to my father that 1 would like
tc become a doctor of watches, although /
had never before thought of such thing.
He, seeing that / was persistent in my
efforts, at last gave me an old watch move
ment which had fallen in the water and
had every wheel in IL rusted. 1 was TO
clean the watch and take every particle of
rust off of it. i suppose my father thought
by the time i had finished that would
soon get over the idea of learning the jew
e1er's trade However. 1 cleaned the wstch
up nicely. and from that beginning have
gene on till now i have entire charge of the
store. buy all the jewelry and select all my
working materials take an invoice OF the
stock every year and keep my own books
II clean watches, but / consider that a
very easy task in comparison with other
parts Of watch repairing.
Il like the work for this reason I al
ways liked something that had life in it.
think the watch has IL, for IL will sooa tell
whether one has mastered IL or has been
mastered by 1t. The work is scientific, and
has required a great deal of thought ard
study by man to get the watch ip 20 the
standard II is today, and one cannot know
too much about the work. For that reason
Joined the Horological Society of Pnila-
delphia, in order to improve myself and
