CYCLING NOTES.

A bicycle can do almost anything save
climb u tree.
A drop of oil in time may save many
gallon of perspir1tton.
In Vienna. Austria. no woman is permit
ted to ride with her hands Oft the bar.
Representative Babcock, of Wisconsin, is
the most indefatgahlc cyclist in the House
The Western railroads quite generally are
adopting the policy voluntarily of carrying
bicycles free as baggage
In France no woman can join the Tour
ing Club without signed declaration Of
her husbands permission.
The oil cup that goes too long uncovered
will become possessed of as much grit as
the rider Of the bicycle thereof
Vermont now Furnishes bicycle thieves by
two year sentence in State prison. This
is a more severe punishment than any other
State inilCts.
The ways of the trainers of cycle racing
men are mysterious. A mixture of arsenic
quininc and camphorated ether was admin
istcrcd to a racing man in England just be-
fore the start, and he won.
The Melbourne City Council has adopted
bylaw requiring every one riding hi
cycle in the city to have n brake fitted.
The authorities of other Australian cities
are also considering passing such a regula-
| ton.
To the list Of the many peculiar accidents
| which have happened to cyclists is added
| the case of II New Jersey rider who set him
self on fire by falling off his wheel. He had

| the conclusion gnited them.
The German military authorities have de-

up with the necessary machinery in the
course of few days.
Smoking lamps are about the most an
noying things cyclists have to deal with
and there are many things to blame for
| them. Those who have tried many ways
of preventing smoking without avail
should bore II hole in the bottom of the
lamp in order to allow more air to reach
the flame.
The word sprocket means properly a tooth
like projection on the periphery of wheel
or capstan for engaging with the links of a
chain or for some similar purpose.
Sprockets differ from cogs in that they are
further apart and are not shaped to engage
with other wheels. The word is commonly
used as an abbreviation of the term
sprocket wheel, but is more properly ap-
piled to the teeth Of the Wheel

Miss Jennie Timberlake, aged
twelve years, met with most peculiar
accident. She and several other
playmatcs were amusing themselves
on a vacant lot in the rear of their
homes. 1t SO happened that a COW
was anchored near by the playground
with nearly hundred feet of rope be-
tween the bovinc's neck and the post
in the ground which served to keep
her captive. The young girls were
playing near the COW when the leg of
Jennie became entangled in the rope.
The young girl cried out with fright
and this had the effect of frightening
the otherwise good-naturod COW, which
at once began to tug and pull at the
rope, the result being that the girls
limb was sawed off before she could
be rescued. -Lynchburg VA News.

now in circulation is the gold ingot or
"lool" of Anan, French colony in
Eastern Asia. 1t is flat, round gold
piece, and on it is written in India ink
its value, which is about $500. The
next size coin to this valuable but ex-
tremely awkward one is the "Obang
of Japan, which is worth about $55,
and next comes the "benda." The
heaviest silver coin in the world also
belongs to Anan, where the silver
ingot is worth about SIS; then comes
the Chinese ''tael," and then the Aus
trian double thaler.

Young fellow Just up from the country,

ants about the place have great deal
of amusement at his expense. Some
times they tell him that they can re-
member the time when Lake Michigan
used To overflow and put Michigan
avenue under a foot or so of water,
and at others when snakes used TO
crawl out Of the cable slots on State
street, and that they can recall one
time when 5000 dogs went mad in a

similar tales they have succeeded i'll

light out of his untutored ways.
A few weeks ago there was COM
plete renovation ofthe premises. Dur
ing the work the young fellow from
the country broke Il large mirror. He
seemed much disturbed over it. The
rest of the day he went about his work
gloomily. Finally the coachman at
tempted to comfort him. On being
invited to cheer up he said moodily:
Il don't know what the boss will do,
but it's a sign there's going to be a
death in the family.

Healthy, happy, children make bet
ter men and women Of us all. A lit
tie care and a little planning before
birth is ofteu more important than
anything that can be done after. On
the mothers health and strength de-
pend the life and the future of the
children. A weak and sickly woman
cannot bear strong and healthy chill
dren. Most of the weakness of
women is utterly inexcusable. Proper
care and proper medicine will cure
almost any disorder of the female or
ganism. DR.. Pierc's Favorite Pre-
scription has been tested in thirty
years of practice. 1t is healing, sooth-
ing, strengthening. 1t is perfectly
natural in its operation and effect.
BY its use thousands of weak women
have been made strong and healthy
have been made the mothers of
strong and healthy children. Taken
during CESSATION, it makes childbirth
easy and almost painless and insures
the well being Of both mother and
child. Send 81 cents in one.cent

WINCHESTER ITEMS.
1.-THE SUM-

Gov. Bradley has appointed Capt.
Lee Hathaway as delegate, from the
Tenth Congressional District to the
National Fish Congress, which meets
at Tampa, Florida, this winter. A
graceful compliment is thus paid a
most estimable gentleman.
The Presidents of the various turn
pike roads in the county have been
notified TO meet with the Fiscal Court
on the 10Th inst, when a conference
will be held concerning the purchase
of the roads by the county. 1t is
roughly estimated that the amount of
the bond issue will be about $4,000.
Hargis and Hendricks, aged IL and
9 years respectively, little sons of
Judge G. B. Hill, of Beattyville, were
thrown from pony while riding on
South Maple street few days ago
and painfully injured. Hargis' LETT
leg was severely wrenched at the
knee and he received an ugly cash in
the back Of the head. For a time his
case was considered quite serious, as
it was feared he also sustained inter-
nal injuries. Hendricks had his left
arm broken and was cut and bruised
about the face. Both BOYS are i'm
proving and will doubtless soon re-
cover.

THE APPRECIATIvE THANK YOU.
1t is the small Courtesies that
Make Life Worth Living.

"On every hand one hears of the
neglect to say thank you" won
der sometimes if some people really
know how little Of what comes to
them is their due and right, and how
much OF what comes to them is by ia
vor and courtesy. The vast majority
OF things which come to us, come by
pure favor, by courtesy. And we
should recognize this. No act of
kindness, however slight, should go
unnoticed. A thank YOU is a simple
thing to say it requires but a few
moments TO write it, but it often means
much; it means everything some
times to the person receiveing it. 1t
means a renewed faith in human ma
ture in some cases. A word of thanks
Is never lost, never wasted. If it
sometimes seems to be lost upon the
person TO whom it is dr,"red, its ex-
preston has hot been losl uDou some
one else who has heard it. is GER
tainly not lost upon ourselv,. The
most of us are quick enough to thank
someone who does US great service.
But the small courtesy, just as great
as the large service in reality we
overlook. 1t doesn't seem worth
while to give thanks for small things
And yet what would we be to-day,
and where would some of us be but
for the small courtesies of life? They
are what make life worth living.
1t is all very well to have the last
Thursday OF each November set apart
as day of Thanksgiving. But it
would be far better if a great many Of
us carried the spirit of the day into all
the other days. Perhaps, if we did
so we might have more mercies to be
thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.
DO not let the spirit of thanks stop
WIN nlghtlall on thanksgiving Day.
Let us extend it to all the other days
of the year, to the people whose lives
touch ours. When we receive IA
vor at the hands of any one, no matter
how small it may be, let us say the
words, thank you If they should
be written let us write them. Let us
not delay them, but take advantage of
the instant when our heart is touched.
Let there be more thank yous' said
by verybody-thousands of them
And the world will be better, bright
'r and happier place to live in because
If them. Edward w. Box in No
