BOUND TO'HAVE A WHEEL
INTERESTING STORY OF A BOYS
RUNAWAY TRIP TO THIS CITY.
Locates His Father at the POstoHice-
The Associated Cycling Clubs
Decide to Incorporate.

The Indiana Bicycle Company sold a
wheel yesterday connected with the sale
of which there is a story. Six weeks ago
James Griffiths left his home in Zanes-
vile, o., to make an extensive trip in the
interest OF a patent right which he con-
trolls. Three week ago he reached this
city and has been here ever since Last
Saturday night his thirteen-year-old son
Fred conceived the idea of comif..~ here to
see him. He had another object in view
besides seeing his parent. He had heard of
the Waverley bicycle, and knew that they
are made in this city. He thought that if
he should go 70 the factory where so many
thousand wheels are turned out annually he
might be able to get one by some hook or
crook, especially if he should find his
father and get him interested.
Saturday night he took French leave at
home and boarded a freight train for Co
lumbus and then took another train for
this city, reaching here Sunday night. He
had no money, and did not know where to
find his father A tailor gave him a dime,
and with this he bought his supper Sunday
evening. He spent the night walking about
the city, and early Monday morning sta
toned himself at the rostoftice. He was
smart enough to presume that his father
Woulu Cdll Ior mali the IrSJ InlnB MONDAY
morning, and he was not mistaken. Father
and son met and greeted each other Then
the boy explained how he happened to be
here. The father attempted to be serious
and scold a little, but made a failure of it
and compromised the matter by sending
telegram back to GAINESVILLE notifying the
home folks of the boys whereabouts.
Then they got breakfast and went to the
retail store of the Indiana Bicycle Com
pany. But the boy would not allow his
father to buy wheel until they had visited
the factory. He wanted to satisfy himself
that the factory was really the immense
place that it is advertised. Yesterday
afternoon the pair returned to the retail
store and the boy was fitted out with a
wheel. With it he returned home last
night this time riding on passenger train
in hrst-class style.

Farmer does not believe that they
complain more of hard times
than do any other people. It is
plain that there is not as much
suffering among farmers as
among some other callings. We
are persuaded that the farmer
with ordinary industry seldom
suffers for food OF clothing; that
he has all the necessaries of life
and many of the comforts. Of

If Solomon lived in these days

ridicule him numerically.
No one is absolutely free.
Every person has at least a few
strings to him.
Do not drop into the medicine
habit.
Mans works are merely sur

Vanity and jealousy always
travel together-two very selfish
creatures.
A straight line is the shortest,
in morals as well as in mathe-
mates.
Never run in debt unless you
see a way to get out again.
We all pray for a long life, but
few of US pray for good one.
Do not marry until you are
able to support wife.
Strong men have wills; weak
men have wishes.
Do not waste bait fishing for
compliments.
Life is called a river but there
is great deal of dust raised.
Some girls get married just to
let others know they can.
1t is hard for a man to support
a sealskin wife on a musket
salary.
When a woman flies into a
passion it's time for her to have
her wings clipped.
1t is less painful to learn in
youth than it is to be ignorant in
age.
Earn money before you
spend it.
Never borrow if you can pos
sibly avoid it.
