battle was not always the man who
held the field, for he dared not larry.
Greene had lost but 230 men and by
the evening of the 18th of March he
found still around him 1850 Continental
soldiers, 1.500 militia and 600 riilemen.
On the British side $40 were killed
and wounded. CORVALLIS made a hur-
ried flight through the country, leaving
dying and bleeding soldiers behind
him, and only found safety under his
guns at Wilmington. The proud hearts
of the North State were never to be
humbled before the British Throne.
The fatal wound to royal authority
from which 1t fingered. and lingering
died on the 18th Of October, 1881, was
given at Guilford Court House on the
18th day OF March. 1881. On the 9Th
Of May. 1887, a number Of the patriotic
citizens OF North Carolina, headed by
the Hon. David Schenk. Of Greensboro,
organized what is known as the Gull

They purchased the ground, about
eighty acres, on which the battle was
fought. and have spent a great deal Of
money In retaining 1t. They have re-
stored roads, planted trees. erected

Care We'll Repaid.

The rider who takes good care OF his
wheel is well repaid for his trouble.
At the end OF the season he has n wheel
that is really in better condition than
when he started with 1t new in the
spring. Barring n few scratches in the
enamel, it is far superior In every re-
spect to the new wheel.
All that, OF course, applies to the
high-grade wheel made of tirst-class
material. If one has a cheap wheel 1t
doesn't make so much difference. be-
cause a cheap wheel is Of no service at
the end Of the season. no matter how
much care is taken of It. That, as we'll
as anything else, illustrates the differ
ence between a high-priced wheel and a
cheap one. When the riding season is
over the h%igh-grade wheel Is worth at
least half of what was originally paid
for IL; the cheap wheel Is worth moth
ing. because nobody wants 1t. and the
machinery is played u completely.
In caring for a wheel one rule must
be constantly observed and above all
others. The machine must be kept
clean and in a place where dampness
cannot reach 1t. Not only does a clean
wheel look better, but when clean there
Is little or no friction in any Of the
parts. Keeping 1t out Of the dampness
also prevents the formation of rust, and
all the parts work easier and more .ree-
ly when the wheel is kept dry. Take
two wheels exactly alike, and keep one
In a dry place and the other where it
Is damp-in a cellar, for instance. The
difference In the running and appear
Ice OF them will be marked in a very
short time. I have tried both and
know.
Cleaning the wheel.
In cleaning the wheel, every bit Of
dust ought to be removed. Only soft
cloths should be used. because anything
else will scratch the enamel. The
cloths should be oily-that Is, lust
enough oil in them t make its presence
apparent and SO little OF 1t that none
can be detected on the parts that have
been cleaned. For cleaning the nickel
the rider may suit his or her fancy.
There are dozens OF preparations made
for the purpose, all Of which are good.
Particular attention should be given
to the chain and sprockets. We are
not using gear cases here yet, and dirt
accumulates In the chain very quickly;
The Red Cloud chief., 1896-08-14

II causes considerable friction, and the
friction ia what we must avoid, 80 far
as possible.
The quickest way to clean the chain
thoroughly Is to soak 1t in kerosene oil.
Dirt. grease and all other accumula-
lions will be removed almost immedi-
ately. Put the chain In a vessel and
use enough oil to cover It. When 1t
has soaked for awhile, take the chain
out and complete the task by rinsing
II through clean kerosene. Wipe dry
and the chain Is ready for use again,
as good as when II was new.
OIL the Hest Lubricant.
Some riders. after cleaning the chain,
warm 1t up and then apply vaseline or
tallow. ! do not believe that to be the
better plan. have made II a practice
to lubricate the chain with regular b.
cycle oil. placing one drop of oil on
each link, and working It In between
the links. Don't use soap as a lubri-
cant. 1t has been advocated by some.
who ought to know better, as a good
temporary lubricant. Experience has
taught US, however, that 1t Is far from
satisfactory for the purpose.
When using oil or grease in any form
about the wheel be careful to get none
Of It on the tires. OIL affects the rub
Der seriously. 1t will be well to remem-
Der also that tires work best when
cool. and that the sun has almost as
bad effect on them as oil. When riding
n cannot help having the tires
warmed up some, but when the wheel
is not in use 1t should be kept In a
cool place.

Moliere objected to the printing Of his
plays on the ground that they were
meant to be acted on the stage, with the
costumes, scenery and illusions per-
tanning thereto, and not to be read in
the closet. 1t was also inferred that
Shakespeare entertained the same notion
as Molierc, seeing how Indifferent he
was as to the fate of his plays so long as
they were popular on the stage. There
is also the explicit declaration of Hey
wood i'll the following terms:
"It hath been no custom in me of all
other men courteous readers) to COM

a manuscript copy Of it to his married
sister, Mrs. Lefanu, at Dublin, to be
disposed of for her own advantage to the

brought her 100 guineas and free admis-
sions to the theater, and it was from the

believe our expenses should be re-
duced to the lowest possible limit that is
compatible with good government in state
and county, and that every unnecessary
expenditure of whatever kind should be
stopped.
To this end invite the taxpayers and

EFFECT OF TEA CIGARETTES.
They Give Ono IL Sensation OF Thicltenin:
In the .toah.

They Give Ono IL Sonsatina of Thiclienin:
In the ..aaa.
One Of the most injurious and danger
Gus of now fashions is the tea cigarette.
That this is 10 empty, baselos, story Of
n new craze IS shown by the application
made last week to the commissioner Of
internal revenue at Washington for per-
mission to manufaturc tea cigarettes in
Michigan. The applicant was told that
to engage in such manufacture he must
comply with the law governing tho
manufacturing of tobacco cigarettes, tea
being substitute for tobacco; that no
must register, give bond and SO on, and
that the cigarettes, when made, must be
packed, stamped, branded and labeled,
exactly as the tobacco cigarettes, before
the government would sanction their re-
mov;L from the factory for sale.
Several descriptions Of the tea ciga-
rettc have been printed, but these have
erred in the presumption that the tea
was taken as sold, rolled up in d paper
and smoked. This would be practically
impossible, as the sharp edges of the tea
would cut the paper in all directions,
spoil the draft and render the cigarettes
unavoidable.
To make the tea cigarette one takes q
grade of green Tea which has but little
dust, being composed of unbroken leaf,
and dampens it carefully, just enough to
permit the leaves to be unrolled with
out being broken, and so as to be left
pliable and capable Of being stuffed in
the paper cylinder, while the dampness
is not sufficient to stain the paper. Tho
cigarettes are laid aside for q few days
and are then ready to be smoked.
The feeling Of tea cigarette in tho
mouth is peculiar. The taste is not SO
disagreeable as might be supposed but
the effect on the tyro is II sense of thick.
ening in the head and "a disposition to
take hold Of something or sit down. II

he will not try tea cigarettes again. If,
however, the smoker sits down and tries

house, with apparent Indifference. When
he had unloaded his cart, he coolly

and shouted, "Wake up dar, you Ras-
