thought of becoming racing men and beating
horses.
To be exact, Charlie is four years and five
months old. He weighs thirty-fve pounds,
less than the record for Thanksgiving tur-
keys.
In the picture Charlie doesn't look SO small,
for the machine which he strides is made in
proportion to his diminutiveness. 1t was
built to order and the extreme length Of his
little bicycle is not much more than the
diameter of one of the ordinary bicycle
wheels. 1t weighs only eleven pounds, and a
man OF not uncommon strength could hold
Charlie and his wheel out at arms length.
His machine cost 5000, but his father, Charles
r. McAdams, Of Fort Worth, Tex, is so
proud Of his midget that he willingly paid
the price.
Charlie can ride pretty FAST too. He was
visiting at Evansville, Ind, last fall, and
his father and some friends went 20 the
bicycle track to see what the liliputian eye
list could do in the way of speed. He made
nying start, and covered one-quarter of
mile IN just ifty-seven seconds, which is the
record for midgets.
one OF his friends proposed driving the
morse against Charlie for a quarter of a mile,
just to see how good his horse was. 1t
wasn't race-horse, nor a very fast trotter
but try as he might the horse couldn't beat
Charlie, though he was good roadster
When Charlie is dressed after the fashion
OF the brownies his diminutiveness is even
more pronounced, and as his little legs spin
around he is an odd sight.

Trick West must lead q trump and Sc

irregular lead, but not apt to do any harm.
North thinks he wants to stop the trump

have played low.

Tricks 4-5-West's trump lead is prema-
ture; the best club is against, and North
probably has at least four trumps. East
makes the high card echo to show four
trumps by playing queen and returning jack.
We do not think much Of this play.
Trick 6-South has shown spades to be his

of spades, abandoning his diamond suit.
Tricks 7-8-West leads his king of trumps

diamond, retaining two spades North places
jack of clubs with South, but would not

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physician and Patient Alike,

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study and
treatment of Piles and rectal diseases. re-
Gently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure the
new discovery for the cure of piles, was the
most remarkable remedy he had ever seen
or tried in one respect; and that was. the
instant relief experienced in all cases. no
matter how severe, from the moment the
remedy was applied; this was the more sur
prising to him, because he had carefully
analyzed the preparation, and no trace of
opium, cocaine or similar poison could be
detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon the
Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rapidly TAX
ing the place of surgical operations, and be-
cause 1T is so simple, so easily applied and
contains no mineral or other poisons so COM
monty used in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms
of piles, but never fails to give immediate re-
lief on the first application, no matter how
severe the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astonished at the instant re-
lief experienced from the first application.
Another important advantage is the fact that
any one can use the remedy without deten-
ton from business or interference with daily
occupation.
Mr.. ]. w. Rollins, of Sweet Springs, Mo-,
writes: / consider the Pyramid Pile Cure
without an equal; it cured me in less than 80
days. I waited Is days more to be sure
1 was fully cured before writing you; 1 can
now say I am cured, and I shall recommend
the Pyramid Pile Cure at every possible op-
portunity, because 1t deserves it.
Although a comparatively new remedy, it's
popularity is such, that all druggists now sell
it. If your druggist hasn't it in stock, he
will get 1t for you if you ask him, as all
wholesale druggists have it on sale.

four clubs at present constitute the Minne-

Minneapolis have heretofore co-operated with
the other organizations. Last year, however,
the Lurlines were temporarily disorganized.F
They did not take part in any regattas what-
ever, and thus dropped from the association.
But the Minneapolis oarsmen are once more
in position to contest vigorously for tha
prize of 1896. 1t is therefore expected THAI
the Lurllnes will soon be welcomed back into
the International association. General row!
ing interests were informally discussed Fri-
day night. The delegates decided to send T.

of one to confer with Capt. Holcombe, of the
eat Northern railway, in regard to the sea-

on Lake Minnetonka, near the Hotel Lafay-

Southern Kansas. A few days before the
running they are made familiar with the
escapes provided for their safety. They are
let out Of pen at the quarter pole, and
when eighty yards away the dogs are slipped
and are in hot pursuit of their natural prey.
In their efforts to make the kill the grey
hounds are showing their superiority >, one
over the other, and to prove this, the Judge,
on horseback. follows them closely, and
counts the points they make, as for instance,
the dog that gets to the rabbit first scores
two points for superior speed. If one is
length behind the other and runs by and gets
length ahead, 1t is called go-by, and
scores two or three points, etc. When the
course is ended by the hare making his
escape, or by kill, the greyhound making
the most points wins the course.
There will be two separate stakes, one an
open stake and the other for dogs owned in
Minnesota that have never coursed in public.
These last will include pets owned In the city
that have never seen rabbit of any kind.
The best greyhounds In the West will COM

Trick East plays low second hand though
holding king, queen and two small. His
strength in trumps justifies his play, we
think.
Trick S-Why should East return the club
and invite a force when it is the last thing
he wants? East reasons that South will win
the club and will not lead again for fear of
the suits being trumped; that he will perhaps
make lead Of trumps up to East's double
tenace, or return the heart and establish
the suit for East; East does not wish to lead
trump, as 1t will be more advantageous to
have the lead come from the adversaries
or his partner he does not care to lead king
Of hearts, as he hopes to make two tricks In
the suit If it is led by the adversaries and a
diamond lead would not be justifable
Trick 5-North leads trump for his part
ner's club suit; he cannot tell that South is
out Of hearts, but we are inclined to think
that another lead of hearts would be more
conservative play. East plays his lowest
trump second hand, preserving his strength
Tricks 6-9-South returns the trump and
East gets what he has been playing for; East
tales one more round of trumps to draw
South's last one and then makes his two
good hearts.
Trick 10-East does not draw the losing
trump; he knows that If he does, and either
North or South has ace of diamonds neither
he nor his partner will make a diamond
trick whereas If ace of diamonds is against, he
can trump the first lead of clubs and make a
diamond trick If West has king; of course if
Eost's queen of diamonds wins he will draw
the trump. and continue the suit. West sees
that South has played his last diamond, for
he is marked with three clubs left, and
plays ace on queen, as king must be with
North; this play would have been necessary
II East had drawn the trump as is illus
trated by the play at Table 2 at this point,
but with another trump in East's hand, West
could lose nothing by passing.
Table p
Trick 2-East has no good lead but trumps
after winning with queen of hearts; this is
one reason for the play of low card second
hand.
Tricks 6-3-East draws all the trumps and
then forgets why he did 1t, for he refuses
TO make his king OF hearts, leading instead
queen Of diamonds to his partners discard.
West loses a trick by passing the queen. for
North wins with his king, leads club and
South takes four club tricks the king of
hearts and ace of diamonds being used for
ditcarding purposes.

TOLEDO, April A.-Scarcely a day passes
but that some new invention in the cycling
world comes to light. The latest is an idea
OF L. q. Phillips, of $50 Summit street, this
city. 1t is a unicycle that the inventor de-
clares is bound to be success. The accom-

gear is shown, for the reason that in the large

machine is shown The cog wheel is made of
brass and works in gear made of rawhide.
The long, hooklike arrangement in front is
the ballast and serves in the place of the for
ward wheel as balance for the rider. The
seat may be adjusted to suit the rider, as in
the old ordinary or on the present pneumatic
safety. The handle bars are adjusted in a
similar manner to those on the regulation BIZ
cycle, and may be of any pattern desired.
There is no danger of the wheel tipping for
ward to any great extent, as the ballast piece
