The snow to make two visits. The first
was to blind Marjorie, who was Free
Kirk, but to whom he had shown much
kindness al her life. His talk with her
was usually of past days and country
affairs, seasoned with wholesome humor
to cheer her heart, but today he fell into
another vein, to her great delight, and
they spoke of the dlspensation of
Providence.
"'Whom the Lord loveth, He ckasten-

to whom she has been a most devoted
wife. She always accompanies him on
his stamping" tours, acts as his
amanuensis and has rendered him in
valuable assistance in the preparation
of his autobiography, on which he has
been engaged for several years. She is
petite and brunette, is cordial, viva
cious and unassuming. She has never
cared for the frivolties of society, and
her life has been an active and useful
one. For ten or twelve years prior to
her marriage to Gen. Palmer she was
city librarian, and as such enjoyed a
fine opportunity to crafty her taste for
reading. Since her marriage she has
found plenty to do in assisting her dis
tinguished husband. She was reared in
the Presbyterian church, and was for
years teacher in the Sabbath school.
After her marriage she united with the
Baptist church, in which her husband
held membership. Her character is a
lovely one, and it may truthfully be said
of her that none know her but to love
her; none name her but to praise"
Mrs. Palmer was with her husband at
the state convention at Chicago, and at
indianapolis. She accompanies him on
all of his political missions.

BICYCLE WITH WINGS.

Flying Attachment Enables wheelmen
to Mount In the Air.
If the wheel isn't fast enough for you,
why, fly.
Itseems as though the old fairy legend
of the seven league boots would come
true before this century ends.
The bicycle has multiplied many fold
the speed possible in personal looomo-
ton. Distance has been divided by 100.
But that isn't enough. Noweek passes
but there appears some new device, in
tended to tighten the labor and sccel-
crate the speed Of the wheel.
The latest of these is a bicycle flying
machine. Experiment has Just been
made with this wonderful machine, and
the results, the inventor says, make
ordinary cycling seem as ancient and
clumsy as q jolting journey in the
wagons of our grandfathers.
The man who has devised this won
derful machine, says the New York
Journal, is Charles Sigors, a young ma
chinist. There Is no joke about it. lie
considers the bicycle flying machine an
altogether practical proposition and has
fled application for patents to protect
it.
The flying machine attachment is to
be fastened to the handle bar of the
bicycle. The wings will be of canvas,

mended that any one desiring to pur-
chase a mule or forty acres of land

PLUNGING INTO FLAMES.
An Inveterate Life Saver Speaks
of His Experience.
How Policeman Bedell, 81 Brooklyn, N.
Y, Scorched His Heels Saving
Life-Other Interesting Bio
graphical Facts.

What are mans sensations as he
plunges, regardless of consequences,
into seething sea of flame and smoke
Does the heroic rescuer of some child
or invalid from the horrors of death
by fire or suffocation count the chances
against him, or does he cast thought and
consideration to the winds and simply
go where duty calls?
To the average man these questions
would be difficult to answer, but there
is one man who is as well qualified as
any living person to tell how it feels to
face one of the most horrible deaths
known. And that, too, for the sake of
others. The public are always intense
ly interested in the motions of hero.
That man is Officer Robert Bedell, of
the Brooklyn police force. He is hero
in every sense of the word. From out
of the very jaws of death he has
snatched human lives, and as the fire
fiend reached out its hot, encircling
arms, he has borne the rescued one to
safety.
Policeman Bedell has had many ter
rible experiences; decidedly more than
falls to the common lot of even po-
liceman.
While the Brooklyn force, like that of
many cities, numbers among its blue
coats brave men, occasionally one, by
some signal act of bravery, leaps at a
bound to the front. True heroes do not
sing their own praises, and it was with
great difficulty that Mr.. Bedell was in
duced to describe his emotions when he
plunges without moments hesitation
into fiery furnace, holding his own life
cheap that others may be saved. Fire
men are valorous, but as they are paid
and trained to fight the flames, their
bravery does not merit the attention
that befalls man who of his own voi.
ton makes a rescue. Mr.. Bedell's
greatest peril came not long ago, when
he ran through fire and smoke to Sec
ond story room, across the blistering
floor, and rescued tiny child, forgot
ten by her fear-distracted mother in the
horror of midnight confagration.

will be eight feet long and about four
feet In width. They will be rectangular
in shape and one will be fastened on
either side Of the air cylinder, which
will be in the center.
In the cylinder lies the secret of the
success of the device. It will be four
feet in length, with diameter of IS
inches. 1t will be constructed of alum
inium and some alloy of sufficient re-
sistance to allow 100 pounds pressure
of compressed air to the square inch.
Before the wheelman starts out the
air will be pumped in, and the inventor
declares that when the cylinder is filed
the buoyancywill counteract the weight
of the apparatus, and render the pro-
