The public may be pleased to know
that George Downey's leg is nearly
well after his little experience of some
days age" SO said one of his friends in
the Knutsford last evering.
Why. what about George?" asked
! everyone.
Didn't you hear? 1 thought every
one knew.
Now, don't look amused; it's not
funny story, but quite a serious affair
that I'm going to tell you about From
the look on some of your faces, L know
that your inner thoughts are Did
George have his leg pulled?' but such
was not tho case.
You know Downey is quite cyclist,
and. as he spins home to luncheon ev-
cry day he goes at rather a livery pace.
Well, the other day when near home
he was squirting on the south side of
Brigham, and his dog was running
alongside of him. In a moment he felt
tWitch and heard a cry from the dog
whose tail had been caught in the rear
wheel of the bike. 1t was all tangled
in the spokes. and the poor setter was
suffering terribly. George began to
separate the tail from the wheel, but
the poor animal bit at him desperately
Finally Walter Shoup came to Down
ey's help, and after great deal of
work the dog was set free.
In the course of the proceedings,
however, the animal had bitten George
in the leg six times, and after limping
home his wounds had to be cauterized.
He's all right now, though, and rides
the bike at the same old gait
Grant Hampton told a funny bicycle
story in the Knutsford a few evenings
ago. 1t ran about as follows:
After some work a week or two ago
| sold verdant country lad a bicycle.
With the wheel 1 gave him the usual
some oil, some LIQUID cement, etc. In
about five days the boy came back
dragging his wheel with him and de-
manded a new one, saying that the
one l sold him wouldn't run at ALL l
hooked all over the wheel and found the
wheels to be impeded so that they
would no. run. I tried to whirl one
and the kid drawled: I don't believe
this here oil is very good Let me see
can 1 pressed some of the supposed
oil out and gave him one despairing
look
He had filed the oil can with ce-
ment, poured it into the oil boxes, and
as soon as the LIQUID dried it held the
wheels firmly so that they could hard
ly be turned.
Yes, wheel agent has his trials for
farmers will be farmers
