mercy, and before she would allow
the ceremony to proceed she made
Buckner sign a paper promising 70
marry her in ease Miss Reid should
die or be divorced from him.
Announcement of the immediate
marriage of M. Buckner and Miss
Reid was made several weeks ago.
The prospective groom and bis party
were in the church and all VS. in

for the bride, who came rot. they were
informed that she had decided not to
marry and had just boarded a train
for ST. Louis.
She remained there until she heard
that Mr.. Buckner was preparing TO
lead to the altar in her stead Miss Lit
ellie Johnston, a bitter rival. When
Miss Reid heard this she came 10 Co
lumbia on the first train and told Euck-
ncr she was eager TO marry him At
once. Miss Johnston was promptly
forsaken and the marriage q Buck

A traveller in Siberia tells Of a re-

frozen regions Of that country u tie
intensely cold nights the silence was
sometimes broken by loud report a.
IF a cannon. This was the bursting of
one of the ice bubbles on river. a
phenomenon | had neither heard nor
read of before. The streams coming
iown from the hills were frozen Oh ne
surface some six 70 nine inches tlick.
The water beneath flowed faster than
it could escape. and the pressure on
the principle OF an hydraulic press.
became irresistible. First, the elastic
ity Of the ice was seen by the rISin g
Of circular mounds some six ID eight
feet high. The bursting point came a.

The water escaped, but soon froze
again. Scores of these ice hlllOckS are

but II required the magic touch OF the
Nineteenth century inventor to make
the wheel a most useful vehicle, in
stead of a mere toy
Bail bearings did IT, 1t was case
where the improvement has proved
greater than the original invention
The principle that reduces friction TO a
minimum in bicycle is applicable 10
all machinery, and the cost is the only
obstacle in the way OF what will be
known in history as the Light Draft
Era" in mechanics. Millions of dollars
have been spent IN this direction The
DeeriDg Harvester Company, Of Chi
cago, solved the problem. as far as
grain binders and mowers are con-
corned. by eqpipping their machines
with roller and ball bearings In 1891.
Other manufacturers in this line
have since followed with several kinds
of experimental roller bearings. but the
Deering machines are still alone IN the
field with bah bearings of the bicycle

HOTELS GOOD POINTS.
These Are the Ideas of Man who
Knows, Too.


Il have a record of over 700 hotels
where l have stopped" volunteered
well-known and popular minstrel per-
former to Washington Star reporter,
which are scattered all over our glO-
riOus country. from Maine to the Rio
Grande, and it is to be presumed that
| know something of hotel life after
living in them and in hotels alone
nine months out of every year for the
past twenty-five years. Besides the
700 and over l have a record of,
have stopped at some hotels where I
did not make a record. At many of
the 700 | have stopped from ten to
twenty times, generally from one TO
six days each time. Now. what l am
getting at is that those who complain
most of hotel life in this country are
those who know the least about it,
During three months OF each year |
live at my own home. | come in con-
tact with wanderers. travelling people
ike myself. and associates, by the
thousand, and | hear what they have
to say about hotels and hotel life. The
professional traveller has no kick like
the amateur or occasional traveller;
he knows enough to know that be IS
as a rule better fed at even the second
Grade hotels than ia the ordinary pri-
vate house that is, he has more 10
eat if he desires and a larger selec-
ton to choose from. As far as the
room is concerned. the travelling maa
only has IL 90 sleep in ard, provided
The bed is good he does not care a
rap about the othef furniture, or
whether the room is papered or white
washed or not. 50 that il is clean. IN
The minstrel business n ballad singer
is cencrc is the hardest man to please,
and if we find that he likes a place.
IL suits all the rest of The company.
Ny opinion that ihe hotels feed wen
goes with them al, north. south east
and west. Nov and then some are
specially acod. The diniculty with the
so-called poor hotels is that the eaters
are bad--it is not the food A poor
sleencr likewise makes very poor
he'd. The hallaG singers soy this, and
what they say goas for all It is worth"
