golf suit and cap that are looked upon
as indispensable adjuncts to a wheel.
mans outfit. He contents himself with
wearing light roundabout jacket and
a pair of clinchers to hold his trousers
in place. He enjoys the sport immense

but, like all others, the beginning was
rather tough sledding." When Mr.
Depew first started to ride a wheel, he
had the usual erratic gyrations aud
rough tumbles that fall to the lot of
beginner. After his first lesson be was
sitting on the porch of his house at
Newport caressingly rubbing various
bruises, when friend who had heard
of Mr.. Depew's new venture said in
quiringly:
"What make do you ride, Mr.. De-
pew?'
The genial orator gently felt of an
aching spot ON his shoulder and replied
musingly:
"A couple of years ago while running
through Ohio late at night the train
suddenly stopped. walked out on the
back platform of my car to see what

Bicycle Postpones Marriage

The marriage of a certain Tower Hill
young man that was to take place in
September has been put over to next
spring. He confided to friend that it
was all on account of bicycles He had
purchased one some weeks ago on the
installment plan, which was all right,
of course. But last week his prospective
bride, a clerk in dry goods establish
ment, also bought one on the install
ment plan.
And, you see," concluded the young
man, "if we married in September, Oi
course she would leave the store and
have both wheels to pay for, and it's AL
can do TO pay for one, so the wedding
has been postponed. She will get hers
just about paid for by Easter, and we
will probably be married then. LAW

FAIR PROSPECTS FOR WAR
GUATEMALA IN \ VERY BAD WAY
IN EVERY RESPECT.
People are Aroused by President Bar
rios Arrogance and Cruelties-De-
mand for Morales to Succeed Him.

News was received in San Francis
co just previous to the departure of
the gaelic to the effect that uuatema-
la is in bad way financially and po-
litically. During the last month the
following failures were reported:
FREDERICK Chacon, 100000; Lorenzo
Essen, $1,700,OO0; Enrique Mentzo,
81, 300, 900; Ascoli d Co., 81 100000; Ba-
ner Company, $sO0,O0O; Victor Mat
thous, 81, 100000 total, $1,000,000.
All of these houses have been ex-
tensively engaged in the expectation
of coffee and other South American
products and the importation of mer-
chandise. Besides a great number of
firms have gone under for less sums.
The total is nearly $S,000,000 but it is
trifie misleading, however, because
it represents Central American mon
ey, which is very MUCH deprecated in
value.
Reina Barrios, who was President,
and who declared himself dictator of
the reI ublic two months ago, is eXces
sively unpopular because of his recent
high handed action and cruelties.
There is demand that Prosper Mo-
rales, lawyer and former minister of
war, be chosen, to succeed Barrios. TO
prevent this Barrios intends calling a
session of the assembly very soon in
order to have himself confirmed as
dictator. If he is successful war Is
almost certain. because the country
will no longer submit to his oppres-
sion. If he is defeated war is just as
sure, because he cannot afford to be
driven out of office. EX-President Bar
illon. who made it possible for Bar
rios to succeed him, has declared he
will never again draw his sword eX-
cept to fight Morales. who has threat
ened to expose his financial opera
tons. Barrios is alleged to have kill
ed number of the more prominent
citizens fhis country because he be
lieved they were not in sympathy with
him. Besides these, 243 men of les
ser prominence are said to have been
slain by his order.

They Prefer Open Events.

Bald, Kiser and Cooper are through
with match racing for some time to
come, as all three men admit. They say
the hard work of riding races on the
best two in three plan does not pay at
all. and that more money may be made
in three open races on the national cir
cult, the equivalent of the best two in
three plan of match racing, than in the
match contests. Bearings

A Song OF the Wheel.

Oh, sing me a song of bolts and of sprockets,

Oh, chant me a lay of the pneumatic tire.

Where breezes blow softly and fora is green,
Where natures soft music will ravish your

AS sweet as Beethoven, op. b. or Mozart,
Where every true pleasure to you win appeal.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infa med condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inhamed
you have a rumbing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condi
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured bv Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
