HQS Wheels IN His Held

A man who has wheels in
his head invariably wants to
get them in your head, also. 1t
is SO in this case. This man
has two different kind OF
wheels in his head, and wants
space in your head for them to
occupy. One is a Columbia. the
other a Hartford wheel. Will
lis is the name Of the man
John Willis, Jr.-and he owns
the Furniture Store where B.
A. johnson used TO keep, on
Church street, across from St.
Paul'S Church.
Willis says, and it seems
plausible, that when 4 man
wants a hundred dollar wheel
that he wants the Columbia
because, though there are
others which may be good,
there are none better, and
while one who buys al untried
thing may lose by experiments
ing, the one who buys The
Columbia cannot lose. He is
sure to have the best. or
course, if ColumbiaS cost more,
people might take chances and
buy the cheaper wheel, but
Columbus cost no more.

figured with white. The skirt Is full
round one, seven breadths wide and is
stiffly crinolined in the back. The bodice
is seamless one fashioned so that the

Around the foot Of the skirt is a pointed
band of brow n velvet and there is b crush
collar OF the same. The hat is a brown
felt with loops of velvet and lunches OF
