Advice for Amatucr BicycIistS.

Dan Knapp, Of Oswcgo, when in
town this week and won Il handsome
bicycle that was ratified of at the
Coleman house. Not being given to
the hump back developing exercise
he presented the machine to Sheriff
kylc who, by the way, sits his wheel
as gracefully as 4 kcntuclian horse.
The sheriff can never hope to become
IL scOrchcr and a century wheeler II
he continues to prefer grace to the
grotcsquc. What he wants to do II
he desires to be strictly in it with
the pcdalling boobies is to raise his
seat to the top notch, drop his handle
bars down to the axle, curve his back
like Il Mexican mustang and work
every muscle in his body like Il hired
man humping himself to dance.

ui1u', Stalnmcr all the Time.

Ben Smith has for years been
afflicted with an impcdimcnt in his
speech, which at times handicapped
him if he attempted to doany scorch-
ING in conversation, says the Miles
City SIockgrowcrs Journal. Some
time since Il doctor who claimed to
be a specialist in this line, informed
Mr.. Smith that he could cure him.
The first question put by the doctor
was: ''Do you stammer all the
timc?" 10 which Mr.. Smith replied
in his own peculiar style Of speaking:
';N-n-n-no, sir, o-o-o-only w-w-hen l
t-t-t-talk." 1t is said that the spec
ialist gave up right there and told
him his case was hopeless. @
