If you have read any of Rudyard
Kipling's stories about Mowgli, tho
wild boy of India, you win see the point
of this true narrative, which is really
news, and is doubly interesting because
it is in our own country.
Mr.. Kipling's wolf-boy hero was
brought up By the wild animals Of the
jungle, and a very happy boy in his free,
fierce way he was, too. Willie CollIts,
about whom this story tells, was
brought up by a wicked mother. who.
in many respects, is worse than any
wild animal, for the latter nearly al
ways look out for the welfare Of its
young, and guards them tenderly.
Willie Collins, as the result of his
mothers cruelty and neglect, is more
like a wild boy than any lad ever
brought up in a large city. Willie's
home is in Oakland, Cal, and what .

How a Chicago Boy Put q Celevr Idea
Into Practical Shape.
Peter was such a bit of a lad that he
could scarcely reach the crossbar of the
handle of the baby carriage. On ordi-
nary occasions Peter cared little
whether he was tall or short, but he
always wished he was two feet taller
whenever his mother put Tom in the
baby carriage and told Peter to ''mind
him. The broad walk which extends
along the west side of Lincoln park is
half a mile long.
Until the policeman in gray uniform
put a stop to the fun the boys on the
north side of Chicago found a great
deal of sport in racing down the long
walk on their bicycles. To be sure, they
had to dodge scores of baby carriages
and nurses, but this only gave zest to the
pleasure.
those cheap machines without rubber
tires or springs and was timed all over
to give a good appearance. But Peters
sturdy little legs could make the triey-
Gle spin down the long walk, and al
though he never won he always raced
with the boys who rode bicycles.
Peters mother, whenever the day was
fine, would put Tom, the little brother,
in the baby carriage and push him to
the Ionk walk in Lincoln park. Then
she void tell Peter to push the ear
riage. He was so short that he could
not look over the top, so he was obliged
to peep ahead by looking around the
corner of the baby carriage.
One day he found a pair of wheels and
the axle of an old baby carriage. He
took them home, and was playing rail
road with them when he thought OF
something. He mounted his tricycle..

with his tricycle. made over into a baby
carriage.
The carpenter had fixed the axle and
wheels which Peter found to a board
and had fastened the board to the rear
axle of Peters bicycle. On the board
he had nailed a box large enough for
Tom, and there was Peters idea put

fating, as at every rise of the piston,
like a bicycle pump, it fills with air,
and the valve closes when it descends.
There are eleven cubic inches Of air,
and it is estimated that $50 pounds pres
sure is required to compress the col
umn to half an inch.
The arrangement can also be used as
a bicycle pump without d%etaching it
from the wheel. At the lower end of
the chamber is a screw, stopping a pas
sage. At this place there should be a
hole through the frame of the bicycle,
SO that the screw can be removed. Then
a tube long enough to reach from there
to either wheel is inserted, and by
pumping the saddle up and down the
tire is inflated. The chamber should
not be moved up and down in the frarre
when once adjusted, but all temporary
changes of the height of the saddle
should be made by the strap arrange
nsent on the piston. Then the hole in
the frame tube win always be in the
correct position for removing the screw
and -attaching the tube.
The same device, says the Chicago
Tribune, can also be applied to the
handle-bars. The bar is ATTACHED di-
rectly to the piston shaft in the same
way as the seat. In this way all vibra.
ton and EARRING are overcome.
