WOODEN RIMS.
They Are Americas Most Valuable Con-
tribution TO the Bicycle.

They Are Americas Most Valuable Con-
tribution TO the Bicycle.
A bicycle without wood rim in this
country is a rarity, yet only few years
ago the wood rim was unheard Of i'm this
connection, and when it was introduced 10
was greeted with rdicue on all sides
The wood rim is strictly an American
idea, and TO Charles L. Harrington is due
the credit Of introducing it. Mr.. Harring-
toms early life was spent at the wood
working business in Vermont, and later,
when he engaged in the bicycle manufac.
turing business, it was natural for him
to think Of using wood for rim.
Hundreds of patents for special features
pertaining to bicycles are granted each
year by the United States patent office.
but the majority of them die q natural
death. Few pay any money to the invent
or. The wood rim Is undoubtedly the most
valuable contribution America has given
to the bicycle Nearly everything else shat
has stood the test of actual use has come
from "the other side France introduced
the bicycle but England improved il and
gave to riders the suspension wheel, ball
bearings, pneumatic tire, tubular frame
and the ordinary and safety types.
America has held her own in wood
WORKING. In lact, she leads the world,
and the light, strain resisting American
buggy always has been u marvel to for
eigners. Its wheels are so light that the
foreigner wonders how they hold together,
but the much talked of resistance Is the
secret of it. 1t is the com animation of wood
and steel that makes the American buggy
possible The wood .absorbs the shock of
yibration-is resilient. The same principle
applies to the steel rail and the wood ties
of the railway. Without the wood ties the
immense strain would tear something to
pieces. A steel trimmed wheel without a
tire is virtually solid, which feels jars
all through; the wood rim bears jars, as
10 is the nature of the wood TO bear them,
saving the wheel and the whole structure
and not suffering itself. 1t is lighter than
the steel rim, and it permits the frame
also to be made lighter. There are some
incidental advantages also and some not
so incidental. For instance, the wood
springs back and rights itself from strain,
while the steel stays sprung and buckled;
the wood does not rust and dent, and CO.
menting the tire is easier-Nsw York

uorse and Buggy Fall
Down a Steep En-
bankment.
Not Much Damage Bone
o,nius should Sc Done TO Pre-
vent future Accidents-other
Late News.

Water street, from Montezuma to
c,nrcb -treet, Hancock, is a dangerous
sIooe n drive or stand with a rig, as was
n,oved by an accident that occurred yes
,o,1sv morning, A horse standing in
',ont Of one OF the houses on that street
hocame frightened and backed off the
hank which is quite steep and about
.montv feet above the Mineral Range
t,ock The driver had just time to Jump
rom the buggy, but could not prevent
tbo outfit from going over and rolling
aown the bank. The freight train which
frightened the animal stopped, for it
looked as though the horse and buggy
would land on the track. A telegraph
noe however, stopped the rig at the
odoe Of the track. The damage was won
deriury slight, when the roll down a
steep twenty.foot embankment is con-
sidered. The road along there is narrow,
and the passing OF numerous trains adds
70 the danger. The placing OF a substan-
tisl railing along the top OF the bank
would prevent any such accident as that
OF Yesterday morning.

SIMPLE AT FIRST.
II Is Foolish TO Neglect Any Form Of piles
Cure Them at the Beg inning.

Piles are simple in the beginning
and easily cured. They can be cured
even in the worst stages, without pain
or loss of blood, quickly, surely and
completely. There is only one remedy
that will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the Inflammation immedi-
ately, heals the irrltlted surface and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling and puts the membranes into
good, sound healthy condition. The
cure is thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and un-
solicited testimonials we have lately
received.
Mrs, NJ. c. Hinlily, Col Mississippi
ST.. Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have
been a sufferer from the pain and
annoyance of Piles foe fifteen years,
the Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid
Pills gave Inc immediate relief and in
short time a complete cure.
Major Dean of Columbus, Ohio, says:
| wish to add to the number of certi-
hcates as to the benefits derived from
the Pyramid Pile Cure. l suffered from
piles for forty years and from itching
piles for twenty years and two boxes
OF the Pyramid Pile Cure have effectu-
ally cured me.
Most druggists sell Pyramid Pile
Cure or will get it for you if you ask
them to. 1t is one dollar per package
and is put up only by the Pyramid
