 the Genuine Article.
 When Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo went down south on the Unitad States steamer Columbia laat year, he followed the example set by may new travellers and secured a memente Of cv- cry place visited. At Panama he GOA c1uded that the best thing he could buy to remember the country and at the same time secure useful result was to purchase 8 panama hat. Hats of the genuine quality are expensive, but he was in liberal mood and so, when the dealer showed him hat of such eKpen- sive texture as to permit it to bo folded and passed through napkin ring with out damaging and asked $40 for the same he took it without 8 murEur. The hat was beauty, and he plaoxd it carefully away in his trunk. Last Moa- day was hot weather, and he concluded to bring forth his $40 genuine panama hat. He did so and received several compliments on his way from his home to the navy department
 TheraAeyeral of his friends spoke sf the handsome headgear, and the assist ant secretary, considerably fiattered Qyer the universal apItoval of his selecson, held forth in eloquent manner on tho excellence of the purchase and desirs- bility of getting things right on tho ground to insure their being genuine. In the midst of one of his elanNent bursts newspaper man, who ha. ked up the hat, looked closely on the lining aud discovered there the brand of 2 l1ng, York hat manufacturer, revealing rrible truth that the $40 hat had been made in New York and sent down 1 to Panama for sale.

If so, they might get further | insight into what the assistant secretary | said after learning that his $40 hat might have been purchased in New York for $5 by closely punctuating hi' imagined utterances with exclamation points.

Of Interest to Bicycle Riders

LII interest to &SicyCIG lCi0GfS.
 There can be no question that one of the most important parts of bi- cycle is the tire. It has to bear the brunt of the work, is constantly coming in contact with destroying elements, and generally receives the least care from the rider. The im- portance of the work it has to do was early recognized by makers of bicycles, however, and they have given much attention to this inn portant adjunct of the wheel.
 There are today, perhaps, thirty different styles of bicycle tires on the market, all of which vary in detail. AS to their various merits, theories are of little value; actual experience is the only way to determine this vuestion. Un.ess an article gives satisfaction, demand for it soon ceases. After test of over six years, during which Nine double tube and single tube tires have been marketed, at least three-fourths of all the riders in this country today demand and ride double tubed tires.
 The leading firm in the United States, andin fact the entire world, in the manufacture of double-tube tires, is Morgan & Wright, Chicago. Their history is interesting. The first pneumatic tire--the rags-and- glue kind-was giving trouble, aud Morgan & Wright stepped in to fill great public want. They furnisb- ed tire that could be easily taken from the rim to be repaired. That was the principal requirement. in those days, besides the usual re- quirements of speed, durability aud comfort.
 That was several years ago. Single tube tires had been pushed in Europe, and were failing, and the same effort was being started ip this country. The Morgan & Wright double-tube tire quickly proved it's superiority-with the result stated above. The quick.repair inner tube which is this year standard feature of all of this firms tires, has made the position of double-tube tires practically invincible, by making il quick and easy for the riders to SC cure, at the roadside, permanek1 repair-a thing admittedly impos 1 sible in the majority of single-tub, l accidents.

YTURBIDE LOST.

Washington, Nov. AZ /
Judge Bradley of the district
supreme court to-day refused
TO grant Prince Yturbide OF /
Mexico a mandamus to compel i
the Metropolitan club OF this {
city to reinstate him in mem
bershlp. The case was a Sc
quel to the expulsion of Ytur-
bide for alleged circulation OF
scandalous charges against the
daughter of a member OF the
club, whom he had been en-
gagged to marry. The manda-
mus was refused after a two
days jury trial, at which the
facts in the case were revears
ed. The jury after being out
about forty minutes returned a
verdict for the club,
In the course of his argu
ment, Mr.. Berry, counsel for
Prince Iturbide, said that the
case involved not only his
clients membership in the Met
ropolitaa club, but the add
tional one as to whether he
was to be barred from every
club in the country and Europe,
as well as in his own native
land-as well as in Mexico.
In making his charge Judge
Bradley referred briefly to
Prince Yturbide's connection

1t was not incumbent upon t
