THE BICYCLE HUsTLERs.-It Is
surely fact that the bicycle has
come to stay. More have been sold
this year than ever before, and the
season has only begun. Our own
city is certainly keeping pace with
the times and it is really amazing tc
see how many are being used here.
BARR Il LANTz can well be called
"The Bicycle Hustlers," from the
way they have been selling wheels.
A customer simply has TO see their
line to know that they can save them
money in the purchase Of good
wheel. Among the many wheels
that have been sold here, there is
one which certainly deserves special
mention, viz: "The United States. y
While it is not the only good wheel
made, it has certainly reached the
highest. pinnacle of bicycle perfec-
ticn, up-to,date, and any expert in
metal work, can readily see that it
costs more to manufacture it, than
any other on the market. The BIZ
cyclists of this place are blessed by
being close to the firm Of BARR &
LANTz.

THE OLD LOVE LETTERS.


She'd been up in the attic,
This little wife OF mine,
A-rummaging and tumbling,
For what, can't divine.
But suddenly noticed
A silence weird and strange,
And wondered what had happened
To cause this pensiye change.
For quite an hour l listened,
And then, alarmed, / stole
Up to the lonely chamber,
My conscience to console.
And, we'll, would you believe it?
found her reading low
Love letters that l wrote her
Some fourteen years ago!
Her face was wreathed in bushes,
Her dreamy eyes half closed;
Her heart was beating wildly
You'd thought I'd just proposed.
Strewn round her were those tokens
That spoke from heart to heart;
Good saints! what founts Of passion
A faded sheet will start.

edly a wise measure. but If it is to be as
sailed it should be on some other ground
than that it is formulated on the theory
of protection. The average of its duties
upon the bulk of the merchandise imported
may be higher than those of the Mckinley
law, but if this is the case it is due TO the
fact that there was no duty imposed by
the Mckinley law upon from $50. eO0. 600 to

ent tariff law imposes duty of 40 per cent
upon raw sugar, but the treasury does not

To obtain the best results in revenue, the
experience of the country shows that

overthrow of the Democratic party in the

The Descendant.

One can never be sure of the motive of
an author who publishes a novel anony-
mously. 1t may be one of many. The au-
thor may wish to conceal his or her sex;
may have inisgivings as TO the merit or
reception of the book, or may wish 10 con-
ceal his or her identity, for personal rea-
sens or for a limited time. The Descend
ant is published anonymously and belongs
to the new school of novels. The hero,
Michael Akershem. first appears in a farm
er's family, where he is constantly up
braided with his illegitimate birth. The
early chapters show him as a boy loving
study with the minister with a growing
mird. but unhappy. He finally runs away
and goes TO New York. only TO find IL i'm
possible to secure work. Finally, hearing
OF a new socialist paper. the IconoclaSt, he

discovered in restaurant in New York.
He sees here Rachael Gavin. an art stu

they agree upon a close friendship, which

In fact, the keynote OF the story Is the be-
lief Of the man, who is socially oStracised
by his birth that all social laws are wrong.
and his life proves not only his inability TO
keep TO this belief, but the inability of any
one to live contrary to the social laws of
his time. He leaves his first wife mis-

A Washington dispatch says that the
Southern Republican politicians are an
noying the administration. Some of them
are good men, but the most OF them are
Republicans simply to hold office. The
only campaign they make is to secure dele
cations to national conventions. If the
President would take into his confidence
the business men of the South who are for
sound money and protection and put the
men in Office whom they suggest. it would
be the best thing for the Republican party
and for the South.
