Parsons, March 2-"Younger" Lewis,
who was lynched at Wichita Falls a few
nights since, hailed from Neosho, little
town in Missouri, southeast of here. He
probably inherited his wickedness.
In 1890 Jim Lewis, the boys father,
and Jim's brother, George Lewis, started
out to be highwaymen. They began by
holding up a man near Seneca at the
muzzles of two winchesters and robbed
him of $50.
The two men then fed toward Neosho
and secreted themselves in a cave on
Shoal creek. They fortified the entrance
to the cavern in such a way that the
officers found it impossible to dislodge
them. Governor Moorehouse offered
reward of 5000 for their capture.
By some secret means provisions were
carried to the Lewis boys in the cave and
they sraid there for several weeks. defy

Finally they surrendered and were
taken to jail, escaping and again being
recaptnred within a week. They were
found guilty aud sent to the penitentiary

Cycle Makers Are Worried Over
Their Heavy Orders.
That the Supply Will not Equal
the Demand is Apparent.
SUNDRIES SHORT, TOO.
Factories Taking Larger Orders
Than They Can Deliver.
Wheels Will Be of the Best of
Material.

NEW YORK, Mar Oh. 2.-The bicycle
trade for 1895 promises far to exceed the
hopes of the most sanguine as expressed
a few months ago. There has already
been an influx of inquiries thus early
that predict an enormous trade.
In spite of their being large number
of new factories on the market with their
goods this year, there will be a shortage
in some lines. The best-known. ma
chimes in high and medium grade ma
chimes will be constantly the move,
and it will be almost impossible for the
jobbers to keep stock on hand. The
manufacturers are anxious to sell every
wheel they can make and, with that end
in view, are taking orders which, in the
opinion of many, will be from two to
three times their possible output. A
dealer recently remarked that to his per-
sonal knowledge, a certain manufacturer
had taken orders for several times the
number of wheels it would be possible
for him to make.
The time is here when every make of
bicycle put on the market must stand
strictly on it's merits. Many wheels
will go into the country this year. Farm
ers are finding the wheel a valuable ma
chine for their use.
While the bicycle trade has been grow
ing to enormous proportions, the supple
mentary business of bicycle sundries has
been quite backward in its pace.
There are but few factories in this
country, and large importations must, of
necessity, be made There is no doubt
in the minds of those best posted in the
trade, that there will be large shortage
in bicycle sundrieS during the season.

TRENTON, March 2-The New Jersey

A bill which the wheelmen are particu-

the building of cycle paths throughout

build six foot cycle paths alongside of
highways, and provides for heavy penal
ties for vehicles other than bicycles who
use or cross them. There is also a bicy-

MIXED ON HIS DINNER ENGAGE.
MENTS

A good story is told Of how Sir WILL
lam Harcourt once got mixed up in his
engagements.
In the middle of a busy season Sir
William, in fulfillment of long-stand-
ing engagement marked in his pocket
book, went out to dinner on a Monday
night. He fancied he observed on maxi
ing his entrance to the drawing room
that his host and hostess looked at him
with some surprise and even embar-
rassment. He was then welcomed with
accustomed effusiveness, and had an ex-
cellent dinner in such agreeable compa-
ny that he felt indispossd to complain
that the table was perhaps a little
crowded.
On the following Wednesday he kept
another dinner engagement, which was
entered in his book. Again he noticed
with even less hope of understN ding, an
almost frightened look passing between
his host and hostess when his name was
announced. Again the embarrassment
proved transitory. and Sir William had
another thoroughly enjoyable evening.
On the Friday of the same week lie
went out to third tryst In the hall he
came across the butler-an old acpuain-
tance. The man, less masterful over his
emotions, started back and gazed at
him -mouthed. Whats the mat
ter?' asked Sir William. Didn't you
expect me to dinner?'
Yes, SIR" said the butler "but it
wasn't tonight, ii was next Friday"
Closer investigation of the engage
ment book explained the mystery. Each
page noted weeks engagements Sir
William, in his haste, had turned over
two pages, and was this week keeping
engagements which really fell due the
week after.-Woman at Home.
