Bikes and Bicyclists.

Bikes and Bicyclists.
The cycler who looks after his own
veal is not likely to have woe.
Strangely enough wheel built on the
square runs best.
We are asked if bicycling will over
Come obesity. We have noticed that
Hiding ur hill will make any man lean
forward.
Everybody likes to see cycling well
done but not scorched.
A beautiful bicycle may be 'speach''
but a tandem is pair.
It's an ill wind that blows from pune
tu-ed tire.
Only the most wealthy communities
can afford to have poor roads, and they
don't.
A soft road turneth away travel.-All
from L. A. Bulletin.
The average bicycle girl tolls not, but
you ought to see her -Somerville

All that the pessimist can see in BIZ
cycling is a daily cleaning OF his wheel.
There was a lively time at the North
western depot Monday evening, when
the members of the Stautz troupe ar
rived here from Mankato. It seems that
Stautz sold out to man named Frank
sometime ago, but when it came to set
tie Frank told Stautz to go to regions
that are supposed to be- good deal
hotter than these. Stautz therefore came
in here ahead of the show and got Attor-
ney Somsen to prepare the necessary
papers for attaching the c.,.npany's
baggage. The baggage arrived on Mon
day evening. Deputy Sheriff Stolz and
Attorney Somsen repaired to tie depot
and proceeded to make the attachment.
Then followed.a scene that is difficult to
describe. The men resisted, the women
cried and entreated, and there was even
brief hand-to-hsnd struggle. The
hearts of the officers, however, were
cold and unrelenting, and the work went
on. When enough was secured to cover
Stautz's claim, the deputy sheriff retired
from the scene of conflict and the COM
pany concluded to move also. They
went from here to Sleepy Eye.
The Armenian is evidently as lacking
in popularity in the town of Cottonwood
as he is in Turkey. Last week one of
the race, George Kore by name, was de-
MED admission to a, house in our neigh
boring township. With much show of
disgust he left the place and continued
on his journey. One of the household
that had refused him admission found it
necessary to journey in the same direc-
ton, and upon overtaking the Armenian
peddler and his wife the peddler attacked
him with his knife, leaving scar on the
Cottonwood citizens forehead. The
latter thereupon offered resistance and
succeeded in causing Mr.. Armenian to
take to his heels. The citizen followed
him to neighboring house and pro-
ceeded to administer drubbing that in
no way added to the beauty of the Ar
menian's appearance. After this warm
treatment the Armenian came to town
and made complaint to the authorities,
alleging that he and his wife had been
attacked without provocatlon. The
county attorney issued the complaint
and the justice signified willingness
to issue the warrant, but the Armenian
talked the matter over with his wife in
their own language and concluded that
their spare knowledge Of English would
prevent them from properly represent
ing their case. Accordingly the matter
was dropped, with the threat upon their
past that they would soon show up with
relatives who knew enough of English
to put up a strong fight. The woman
