May Have Been Murdered

I. Risveth, bachelor, was burned
to death on his farm in Becker county.
eight miles east of Ulen. The circum-
stances indicate murder and robbery.
Risveth,was the oldest settler insthat
part Of the county, had marketed some
wheat Lake Park, and upon return-.
ing home paid his threshing bill The
next day he was at work blowing and
and in evening his house and barn were
destroyed by fire. When the neighbors
reached the scene they found Risveth's
charred body lying in the ashes OF q
hay stack that was near the barn. His
horses were still harnessed. and as
there was no reason for suicide, the
neighbors believed that he was robbed
and murdered and his body and build
ings burned to cover up the crime.

Every Rider should Learn to keei
His Bicycle in Order.
To the person who has not given the
matter due consideration the mechan-
Ssm of a wheel is regarded as exceeding
ly intricate; indeed, riders of seasons
experience are found who are in equal
ignorance. The non-rider thinks with

surely break Il wheel or twist the entire
machine out of shape, and puncture
would be lawful" if not worse. Now.
as matter of fact the construction OF
a modern. up-to-date bicycle is sim
plicity itself. and the modus operandi
Of taking it apart and putting it to-
Fether again can be mastered by anyone
with but little difficulty. This is usual
ly found out by the novice along in the
middle of the season after he has sever
al times paid card rates at repair shop
to have puncture fixed or the chain adj
justed. Cleaning the bearings will cost
the price of Sunday dinner at coun-
try inn, and could be done just as well
at home while resting.
One agent tells of a young man who
twisted his handlebar in the steering
head and then 1rundled the machine
three blocks to a shop and watched the
dealer repair the damage with his
hands in about five seconds and charge
the amazed owner IS cents for his work
Ordinary repairing, such as patching a
puncture, Strengthening a bent fork,
adjusting bearings, ETC.. can be made by
the average rider if he will only take the
pains to watch experienced persons
when opportunity occurs and be sensi-
BILE enough to profit by the watching.
After one has mastered the mechanism
of his machine there is great deal
more enjoyment to be had out of riding
than when the rider doesn't know
anything about it except thatitisa bicy
Gle. He who knows his steed will see to
1t that it is in perfect running order be-
fore he goes out. and will not be haunt
ed by the suspicion that possibly some
thing is the matter with the bearings
or the chain, or that his reach may not
be just right Nor will he be continual
~ annoyed by squeaking and grinding
noises like the rider who depends on the
repair man TO keep his wheel in shape.

A Brace on the wheel.

An arrangement made of strong elias
tic worn around and under the arms
in the manner of the horseline of
juvenile days has been placed on the
market for the benefit of cyclers. When
properly attached under the saddle it
gives him an extra force on the pedals
1t is said to give additional power in
riding up steep grades and is brake
as well. as it prevents the rider from
being pulled of the seat when back
pedaling. 1t can be worn with coat or
sweater and the hook can be bent to
fit any saddle. When the rider sits up
right the article is not in use, as the
hooks drop out of place.

THE MOONS INFLUENCE.
Ii Has Much to Do with the Earth's
Atmospheric Condition.

One OF the old ideas which recent sci
entific research has revived is that the
weather is influenced by the moon. The
moon being $50 times nearer
than the sun. exerts more
powerful influence upon the tides
than the latter. 1t is believed
that great tidal wave of air is swepy
around the outer atmosphere twice
every "a hours. which influences the
weather. The particles of air and wa
ter are free TO move among themselves
and may be easily heaped in these
wave forms, but the particles OF which
the portion Of the earth. which we are
accustomed TO call solid. is composed,
are not free TO change their relative
positions. When the moon is between
the earth and sun, or when the earth
is between the moon and sun. or, twice
q month. great force is brought to bear
upon the earth's crust. Where there
have been recent slight changes from
cooling and shrinking, the effect is felt
most. and earthquakes result. At least,
this is the theory just brought before
the Royal society of London. The same
investigation shows that there are none
earthquakes when the moon is in peri
gee at its nearest point TO our globe.
The earthquake predictions of Prof.
Falb. of Vienna which have so often
been fulfilled in startling manner. are
based on the influence of the moon.
The fact that some of his predictions
have also failed shows that other con-
ditions must also be favorable Deli
cate instruments invented within the
past few years show that slight tremors
are constantly passing ever the earth.

The SOUND OF LITTLE FEET.

For the sound OF the little feet
That patter'd along in the sunshine
Over the quiet street:
Tor the tones of the sweet voice singing
Some quaint lov'd strain of old,
As saw the wee hands full of flowers,
And the sunny head crown'd with gold
I watch'd when the noon was over,
And the clock In the tow'r struck four.
As the children came slowly homeward.
The hours of school time DER;
And heard mid the ripple of voices
The one that my heart lov'd best.
And saw a smile like a sunbeam
Stray'd out of the glowing west.

L watch and list again;
8ut the little feet come no longer,
No more do hear that strain;
EOr the how'rs and the tird little child

Are hush'd into slumber sweet.
Tho know that in Heaven the angels
Hear the sound of the little feet.

NEW ENGLISH TIRE.
Its Inventor Claims That II Readily
Initiates Itself.

Its Inventor Claims That IL Readily
Initiates Itself.
A self-infating tire has been invent
ed. so it is claimed. by an Englishman.
1t is self-infating, inasmuch as the air
comes in automatically, and also self
debating, because the air escapes al
most on the same plan in which it comes
in Strictly speaking. the invention is
an alternating initiating and Debating
tire, working automatically. Instead
OF the usual endless tube. which is com.
mon to all or most detachable tires,
q piece of tubing of about half the d.
ameter and twice the length is en-
ployed. This tube is cooled twice
around the wheel in direction opposite
to that of its rotation, and each of the
two ends taper. where it is sealed.
These ends overlap one another to the
extent of the tapering, and so fill up
the space. A valve of the ordinary kind
is fitted near one end of the inner tube.
and the first coil occupies a position
in the hollow of the rim. This part
of the tube is thinner and of smaller d.
ameter than the other half. which is
coiled outside of it, and is situated in.
mediately beneath the tread of the tire.
An outer cover of ordinary character
and attachment is used.
The automatic initiating IS performed
as follows: If the tire is empty or has
little air in it, the weight of the rider
and the machine congresses the tube.

the valve. This operation goes ON until
the tire is fully inflated, being renewed
at every revolution of the wheel. The
ingress of air follows the tattening OF
the tire, making the imitation of the
tire an automatic process. The tire
works, whether there is a puncture or
not, and the claim can also be made
that it is non-puncturable.

WHY LADIES LIKE COFFEE
THOUGH MANY ADMIT TT HURTS
THEM

Many ladies have so great a liking for
coffee for eakfast that the meal seems
fiat and unsavory without it; but the
muddy complexion, which is almost
sure accompaniment is a great trial. and
the question is seriously discussed many
and many times over in ones mind,
whether it Is possible to give over the
ceffee and gradually get back the lost
complexion, or keep on with the cofft g
and get on with the bad skin and make
the hest of It.
The disordered stomach and liver
sometimes bring on more serious
troubles. To quit the use of coffee is the
only true relief. 1t contains the same
poisonous alkaloids as tobacco, strych-
nine and morphine, although less in vol
ume. One can use the delicious hot
Food Coffee, Postum Cereal, at meals,
and never miss the coffee. 1t brews the
deep seal brown of Mocha. and takes on
the rich golden brown of old Java when
cream is added. 1t is made by the Post
um Cereal Co. Lim., of Battle Creek,
Mich, purely and wholly of the rourish-
ing grains intended by the Creator for
mans subsistence. The pungent taste
so we'll liked in strong coffee is retained
in Postum.
Nature quickly recovers when coffe Q
is left off and the natural health coffee
is used in its place. Healthful sleep is
again enjoyed. and nerves. stomach, liv-
er, bowels and heart cease their COM
planning when the disturbing cause is

These are great big live facts, worthy
the attention of any one who cares for
the exquisite fun of being perfectly well.
