SOME CYCLE CHAT.

According to a repair man pneumatic
tires suffer more from puncture at this
season than at any other time. The cause
for the increased number of punctures can
be ascribed to the quantity of leaves that
litter the streets. When the streets are
covered with the leaves it Is hard thing
to see the glass, and as a result the tires
are punctured more freely than ever.

Fortunes Made and Lost.

made and lost two fortunes Of moderate
SIZE 1t is known that when he entered the
Senate in 1871 his possessions were more
than ample for his needs. Two houses on
18th street oppc site the 'Shoreham Hotel be-
came his property, and he had interests in
other directions. But in. recent times he
lost practically all he had and a few years
ago his friends successfully appealed to
congress to give him a pension of SIS

pain were spent In quietude and peace.
But, stricken with paralysis, as he was
the indomitahle will remained which had
sustained him and made him a power in
the Wild vigilance days and in the tempes-
tGous times OF the Warmoth-Carter war.

Foolish Questions.

Cleveland Leader.
I saw sweet young mother with
Her frst-born at her breast;
"And what's the baby's name ?" 1 asked
OF her SO richly blessed.
She looked at me with pity, as
She proudly poised her head;
eve call him Dewey, sir, of course"
In tender tones she said.
I met dainty little girl
Who led kitten by string,
And as stroked her head 1 asked
"What do you call the pretty thlng?"
She looked at me with wide blue eyes,
And as she went her way,
81 call my kitten Dewey, SIR
1 heard her sweetly say.
I met a curly-headed boy
Who had brindle pup,
"And what's your doggy's name" I
asked,
As held the creature up.
He gazed at me Ill wonder, and
He proudly cooked his head
81 call him Dewey, sir, of course"
He pitingiy said,
l stopped beside rustic stile,
And heard mllkmaid sing a song !;
"And what's your bossy's name?" I
asked
The lassie as she came along.
She looked at me In mild surprise,
And as she strobe away,
"Why, Dewey is her name, of course"
heard the maiden saw.

Bookkeeping has been reduced to
such an exact science In the big metro
politan banks that the clerks ARE ex-
pected to strike correct balance at
the close of each days work, no mat
ter it the transactions have run in the
millions of dollars. When the books
tail to balance the whole force of the
bank Is put to work to discover the
error, and no clerk starts for home un-
til it is discovered, whether it amounts
to two cents or $4,000. Generally a
quarter Of an hour will bring the mis-
take to light, but sometimes the hunt
is kept until late into the night.
Such search was being conducted
in New York bank located in the vi
cinlty of Wall Street. Forty-five cents
were missing. At six o'clock not a
trace OF the Grant sum had been dis
covered. Dinner was sent in for the
whole force from an adjoining restau-
rant, and after half an hours rest the
search was again taken up. Midnight
came, but still no clew, so sandwiches
and coffee, were served.
"Hello?" said clerk. "The Blank
National people are working tonight
too" Sure enough, the windows of the
bank across the street we're brilliantly
lighted.
The incident was soon forgotten
when the wearying hunt after that
elusive forty-fve cents was resumed.
Shortly after one O'Clock in the morn
ing, as they were about to give up for
the night, loud rapping was heard at
the door of the bank.
"Hello Hello! What's the matter?1
called the cashier through the key
hole.
Matter, you chumps, Why we've
got your blamed old torty-five cents
Come along home to bed !"
Outside stood the. crowd of clerks
from the neighboring bank. 1t ap-
peared that, in making a cash trans
action, one OF the banks had paid the
other forty-ive cents too much. As a
result half hundred men had worked
for nine hours, and the search was only
ended then because bright clerk, no.
ticing the light in the bank opposite.
shrewdly guessed the cause, hunted up
the slip, and discovered the error.

CLOSE CALL FOR A CONDUCTOR.
Seized by the Leg as He Was Falling:
From Moving Train.

Valdosta, Ga, Jan. 26.-The conductor on
the westbound train on the Sparks Moul-
trie and Gulf Railroad, had thrilling ex-
perience Saturday, and his escape from
instant death was, in ali probability due
to the quickness and human strength of
a passenger on the train-a Valdosta man.
The conductor, whose name your cores
pondent could not learn, and Jim Jack
Parrish of this place, We're in the baggage
car talking. A big rooster with his legs
tier together was lying on the floor and
he suddenly made a break for freedom
With flap of his wings he jumped toward
the open door on the side of the car, and
the conductor made a leap to keep the
fowl from getting away. As he did so,
his foot slipped over the sill of the car
door and he darted forward unable to
stop himself. The cars were sWaying to
and fro and the tranman fell head fore
most toward the ground. Mr.. Parrish
saw that he had no control over himself
and sprang forward just in time to catch
him by the leg. For a few moments he
was held suspended from the door of the
rapidly moving car, but was finally pulled
in by Mr.. Parrish.
Valdosta is going to send substantial aid
to the sufferers on the Island of Cuba

place on Feb. 2. If the motion falls
through, Hodge will have to serve out his
sentence of five years in the chaln-gang.
unless his attorneys decide to take some
other steps in his behalf.
The Valdosta way of doing things was
very well illustrated at the Methodist
Church Sunday morning In building and
finishing the new structure It was found
necessary to borrow about $4,000 The
5000 or $4,000 which had been raised to
pay on the building, together with the in
creased conference assessments, made the
burden a heavy one. But the members
got a hustle on them Sunday and the
remaining debt was wiped out in a short
time. The church will probably be ded-
icated in the near future.

THROWN FROM A BUGGY.
W. j. Lane of Brooks County Has a
Leg Broken,


Valdosta Ga. Jan. 25.-Willie ]. Lane.
brother of J. L. MCGEE and nephew of
Col. w. S. West of this city. was thrown
from buggy Sunday afternoon in run
away at West Lake, Fla, and was seri-
ously injured. Mr.. Lane and Miss Fannie
Wilson of Brooks county were out drying,
when the horse ran away. The young
lady escaped without serious injury but
the young man had one of his legs broken
about the knee and his head badly mash
ed. The first intimatio of the accident
was given to those at the residence of
Eugene West by the horse galloping up
to the house with only the buggy shafts
hitched to him. Mr.. Lane has been in the
employ of West Bros. at West Lake, keep
ing books and attending to the commits
sary for them.
During the last term of the Superior
Court here, while the McRee boys were
in attendance upon the court, several of
the negro prisoners made their escape by
knocking down the guard and taking to
their heels. All of them were captured
except two, and one of the two was a ne
gro named Green Jackson. Jackson turn
ed up at Newberry, Fla, this week, and
about the same time @ posse went out on
search for a negro who had killed
conductor in that section some time since.
Inc posse ran up on JACKSON IN a niue
cabin, and thinking he was the man they
wanted, they at once surrounded the
house and commanded him to surrender
Jackson poked a pistol through a crack
in the house and dehed the posse. A
dozen rifle shots rang out, the pistol was
shot out of Jacksons hand, and two or
three bullets were put through his fin
gers. lie then yelled to the crowd that
he was one of "McRee's niggers," and
begged them not to kill him. This morn
ing he vas brought to this city for treat
ment, and it was found necessary to am
putate two of his fingers. He seemed
glad to set back to camp after the posse
had fired one volley of bullets toward
him.
