TT WAS A GREAT SCHEME,

"Great scheme!' he exclaimed enthu.
siastically. There's mint of money
in it, of we can only get it started with
the proper backing. And it's something
entirely new, too"
What are you talking about?" asked
the man who always likes to throw cod
water on everything.
"a bicycle insurance scheme replied
the enthusiast.
Chestnut" exclaimed the other Not
only chestnut, but the worst kind Of
one" '4t
"Oh, guess you don't grasp the idea"
returned the enthusiast My plan isn't
to insure bicycles or bicycle riders but to
insure pedestrians against both. They're
the ones who stand most in need of in-
surance at present"
"Quite right" admitted the other, "but
you'd have to make the rates SO high as
to be almost prohibitive or else you'd lose
money on the scheme"
And the enthusiast sighed, for be rea-
lized that it was even so.-ChicaSo Post.

Eliott's singing of "Batti, BATH" they
scarcely heard it, yet it was like the flow
of strong, calm river down which the fine
soprano voice floated with steady ease like
a fullsailed ship.
But the solitary man below the gallery,
absorbed though he was in the sunny
splendor of the melody. involuntarily made

His many friends are telling everybc dy

who mixes drinks in a famous drinking re-
sort on the avenue. Ii happened not very
long ago, on warm afternoon. The blonde
young man sauntered into the saloon with
the air of a man VINO wants something.
The man who mixes drinks asked him his
wish. The state department man
hesitated. He didn't want any
plain drinks. he said. In fact.
his heart was set on delicious mixture he
had imbibed in a rival establishment He
didn't know the name of it, nor its exact
ingredients. but he described it as minute

he could mix it. He threw a little of this
and little of that into glass with minced.

Yes, that was something like it, only 1t

result was 30 nearly right that he was led
to believe another trial would bring per-

any drinkmixer in town. The fourth drink

thing he was looking for. He drank 1t as
he had the other three. He paid for 1t,
moreover, and it was the only drink he did
pay for And the barkeeper was SO proud
OF this success that he don't see the game
till next day.-Washington Post.

II COINS that about the year 1855 old
Col. James MoClanahan made q will, in
which he devised certain real estate to
bis children, which now embraces the
land upon which the West End furnace

downe Land Company and others. One
portion Of this land he gave to e. Il.

In che county oours Of Roanoke county
to have she lands psrtitioned.
After she lsnos had been par
tisioned he seked to bs allowed
to sell the portion assigned 10 the wife
and children of James McClanahsn. Jr.,
which WAS accordingly done, and the
land %purohaseA by D. Q. Yates.
Now the widow and children of James
McClsnehan. Jr., who 10 dead, have
brought suit to recover this land ON
the ground that they never authorized
the county court suis to be Brought, nor
aAu sne oounby court OF that time have
Jurisdiction to sell infants lands. The
defendants are the Roanoke Iron Com
pany and D. @. Yates. who, on the
hand, alleged shat the county

lies. The defendants furthermore
claim that should the land be taken

THE MAGIC WuEEL
fs the Name of n Bicycle Manufacture
in Roanoke.

liz the Name of n Bicycle Manufactured
in
a TIMES reporter, in with
several other gentlemen, visited the
chops OF r. K. Beeton yesterday, where
oRey inspected q high grade bicycle
which whs manufactured out and out in
thAs city. K. e.. Beeton, Jr., and Josiah
F'rfsEd arc toe men who did the work.
The wheel is known as the "Magic,'
anA weighs 25 pounds, Is fitted up with
~ q j. ciincher tires, narrow tread,
lsrge hub and large tubing, 10 we'll
quilt, nicely finished and the adjustment
perfect. OF course there may be some
made over the fret wheel,
but good judges pronounced 1t a first
class bicycle in every respect.
The oven prepared for baking the
enamel on the tubing was constructed
by Mr.. Beeton, and is heated by means
OF gasoline. Two burners will heat the
oven to over 800 degrees, while one
burner will keep 1t standing at 2lo de-
grees.
There is some talk Of forming q Joint
stock company for the purpose of manu-
fRcsuring the wheels in this city, which
would evidently be a paying investment.
Mr.. Beeton says the wheels can be man.
nfac sured here just as cheaply as any
where In the United States.
The wheel Is on exhibition at tho
office Of Joeiah Friend on Henry street
8. W., and Can be seen and inspected by
thoee who SO desire,
