A Variable Chain.

1t is often the case that a chain be-
comes tight and slack rs it runs around
the sprocket wheels. If the alteration
takes place with each revolution Of the
pedals and if there is no dirt on the
periphery Of the front sprocllot wheel,
very probably the crank axle is not fixed
centrally in the rear smocllot, i'll which
case IA competent ropairor may perhaps
put matters right. But there is no need
to trouble about it unless the defect is
considerable On the other hand, if the
alteration is observed TO have some rela-
ton to the position Of the chain or with
each half revolution the cause probably
depends partly ON whether the chain is
new or not. If it is new, there may be
stiff link which does not properly
straightcn out after leaving the sprocket,
but may work loose in time. Boston

Josh Messenger, II deputy sheriff of
Grayson county, has brand new device
for bringing in prisoners whom he has
arrested. lie is probably the first peace
officer in the United States to adopt it.
The device is nothing more nor less than
that Of bringing them on the rear step
of his bicycle.
Mr. Messenger weighs 175 pounds
himself, and as his prisoner on recent
occasion weighed about as much it will
be seen that the total weight on the
wheel was considerable. 1t is a regular
800 wheel of a well known make,
weighs 20 pounds and has no special
features except that it has IA step on each
side in the rear instead of only on one
side. This slight variation was made for
the special accommodation of the pris-
oner, who has to stand behind. Mes
serger is contemplating buying tan
dem, on which he expects to be able to
bring in two prisoners at a time instead
of one.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

they expect to visit among their west

friendly tribe to sell them a body of

Some of the red men were afoot, some
on ponies and others ON bicycles A
novel feature of the bicycle brigade
was two old squaws, one in the latest
cut boomers and the other wearing on
ly breechcloth. Each carried little
black eyed papoose, strapped strongly
to its mothers back, and, although the
thermometer was hoverng between the
freezing and zero mark, it had no APP
parent effect upon their good nature, for
all the while the little fellows were
busy jabbering at each other i'll their

Have Your Wheel overhauIed.

If one intends to ride the same bicy-
Gle this year that was used last, one
should have it oyerhauled before the
fine riding weather comes, Look partic-
ularly at the tires. Rubber wears out
more quickly when not in use than one
may imagine, and it may be found that
the tires are not in "A desirable condi-
ton. If i'll bad shape it will be the
best policy to have "a new pair fitted at
once and thus start the season in COM
fort and without fear of a breakdown
from this source. Should any repairs be
necessary to the wheel, this will be
found to be the best time to have them
made, as later the shops will be busy

bicycle is rugged up in the window, and
upon it sits skeleton scOrchcr. The
bony fingers clutch the handle bars, and
the fleshless feet are firmly fixed to the
pedals. The slall is fitted with pow
