GIRL GOT THE BICYCLE.
Drawn as a Prize But Her Escort
Claimed 1t.

An Atlanta dispatch says that the
famous bicycle suit that has attracted
so much attention in that city for sew
e1al weeks has been concluded.
Ray S. Stowe invited Miss Blanche
Kramer to attend theatrical perform
ance with him. The company had off
cred bicycle to the young woman who
should hold the lucky number, drawing
to be by lot. Miss Kramer held the
right number and carried off a hand
some wheel.
A few days afterWard young Stowe
called on her and borrowed the wheel.
He did not return it, and when she de-
handed it he replied that inasmuch as
it had been his money which drew the
machine he was entitled to it and pro-
posed to keep it. The young woman
began suit in the district court to re-
cover the bicycle. The trial developed
all the facts. 1t occupied day and a
half and was attended by large number
of people, The case went to the jury
Saturday afternoon.
The position of the attorneys for
Miss Kramer was that the management
specifically proposed to give the wheel
tc woman; that when the young man
invited Miss Kramer he did so with
the understanding that his invitation
included participation in the chance OF
drawing the prize, and that for the
young man to claim it would be to
violate the terms on which the tickets
were given out. The jury took this
view and gravely rendered a verdict in
favor OF the girl.

/ corner OF their cemetery. Suffer was
always a Wanderer. Born in Baden.
Germany, in 1903, he was graduated
from the military school at Berne at
the age of 20, and enlisted in the
Swiss guard of the French army, sue
cessOrs of that famous band of mer-
Cenarles who so faithfully stood to be
butchered on the stairs of Tuileries
thirty years before. After seven
years service he changed his colors and
| entered the army OF Switzerland, in
which he served until 1884. Then he
put off his uniform and came to
America. In 1888, with six compan-
ions, Suffer crossed the plains to Or
egOn, and made his way down the
| Columbian river to Vancouver, whence
| he sailed to the Sandwich islands.
There he got an interest in a trading
vessel, with which he sailed to Sitka
and the seal islands toward Behring' S
| Strait. Turning southwark, after
| some n Ufitable trading, he arrived in
| the bay of San Francisco July 2, 1889
! The appearance Of the country pleased
him, and he decided to remain there.
Suffer made q settlement some dis
! lance up the Sacramento river, built
q 9rist mill tannery and a fort,
founded a colony and called it New
Helvetia. His restless energy was
still unsatisfied. He took a commits
sion as captain in the Mexican service,
and afterward served as a magistrate
under the same government. He took

the incense-laden air. The unseen

l thought Of my last wedding-day,
when I had stood in this very place.
full Of hope, intoxicated with love and
joy, when Guido Ferrari had been by
my side, and had drunk in for the
first time the poisoned draught of
/ temptation from the loneliness of my
wife's face and form; when /, poor
fool! would as soon have thought that
| God could lie, as that either of these
whom I adored could play me false. I
drew the wedding-ring from my pocket
and looked at tit was sparklingly
| bright and appeared new Yet it was
| Old-it was the very same ring 1 had
drawn off my wife's finger the day be-
| fore; it had only been FURNISHED afresh
| by a skilled jeWeler, and showed no
more marks of wear than if it had
! been bought that morning.
| The great bell of the cathedral
| doomed out eleven, and as the last
stroke swung from the tower, the
chapel doors were flung more widely
open: then came the gentle rustic of
trailing robes, and turning, l beheld
my wife. She approached, leaning
| lightly on the arm of the old Cheva-
lier Mancini, who, true to his creeds of
gallantry, had accepted with alacrity
the post of paternal protector to the
bride on this OCCASION; and | could not
well wonder at the universal admira-
ton that broke in suppressed murmurs
from all assembled, as this most fair
masterpiece of the devils creation
paced slowly and gracefully up the
aisle. She wore a dress of clinging
white velvet made with the greatest
simplicity-a lace veil, priceless in
value and fine as gossamer, draped
her from head to foot-the jewels 1
had given her flashed about her like
little scintillating points of light, in
her hair, at her waist, on her breast
and uncovered arms.
Being, as she deemed herself, a
widow, she had no bridesmaid; her
train was held up by a handsome boy
clad in the purple and gold costume
Of sixteenth century page-he was
the youngest son Of the Duke di Mar
ina. Two tiny girls of five and six
years Of age went before, StreWing
white roses and lilies, and stepping
daintily backward as though in at
tendance on a queen: they looked like
two fairies who had slipped out of a
midnight dream, in their little loose
gowns of gOld-coICred plush, with
wreathS of meadow datiodils on their
tumbled curly hair. They had been
well trained by Nina herself, for on
arrival at the altar they stood demure-
ly, one on each side of her, the pretty
page occupying his place behind, and
still holding up the end of the velvet
train with a charming air OF hauteur
and self-cOmplacency.

BOUND IN HUMAN SKIN.

Pittsburg Dispatch:-In Camille
Flammarion's library is a volume OF
the famous astroT omer's works which
bears the unique title of Souvenir
u'Une Morte." 1t is unique because
the title is wholly incompatible with
the contents of the book, which is
mainly devoted to scientific matters
However, when one hears the story
that is told Of this little volume it
does not appear so strange after ALL
though interest in it grows all the
greater. 1t is said that Mr.. Flammart-
on, meeting a beautiful lady at a re-
ception one evening, openly expressed
his admiration for her really lovely
shoulders. So impressed was the lady
that when she died her will directed
that enough skin should be taken
from that part of her person to bind
the next work of the distinguished
scientist. This was done, and the
book referred to is the result

PACIFIC COAST SHINGLES

The single production of the Pa
cific coast is taking on important pro-
portions, the Northern Pacific rail-
road having brought east from Wash
ington in nine months of the present
year 1924 100000, an increase OF
about 100000 over last year.
larger gain is still predicted for the
year ensuing, under the stimulus OF
a. revival in the building trade which
is now felt generally throughout the
country.

No news in the century about tc
close swept over America so strongly
as the discovery Of gold at Suffers
mills by the eccentric millwright
James Marshall. Every state and ter
ritOry in the union sent a contingent
of gold seekers, just as every state is
now sending representatives to Alas
ka. 1t was a different prospect. Cal
ifornia offered the inducement of sa-
lubrious climate, and whatever reports
came filtering back east after the first
winter, there were none relating to the
amputation of frozen arms, legs an(
ears. The territory of Wisconsin sent
out some gold seekers after the report
was received, and many went to Cal
ifornia in the years that followed the
young states admission. Some of
Wisconsin's gold seekers gained a
competence there and came back to
Wisconsin to reside afterwards
Others were as unfortunate there as
their most sneering friend could wish,

ticipate in the procession are four
pioneers who witnessed the discovery
of gold by Marshall. Among these is
Henry Fowler, who crossed the plains
and went to Oregan in 1843, and the
following year came down the coast by
The old Oregon and Sacramento trail,
settling in the Napa valley Most of
the other living pioneers also came
overland to California, making a pro-
1onged and dangerous journey.
