FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.


1t is fact that people in purchasing
a bicycle should always get a high
grade wheel. They save money by so
doing and there is more satisfaction
in the use. 1t is a fact, that the Ster-
ling bicycle is built like a watch" is
of the highest grade, and is the wheel
least seen in the repair shop. 1t is a
fact that the wearing quality is OF su-
preme Importance in a wheel especial
ly as construction is now so nearly
perfect that there are but few oppor-
tunities for general material improve
ment. 1t is a fact that the Sterling
will last several seasons, with ordinary
care, and miles, running into the tens
of thousands, may be ridden before any
repairs are needed. 1t is a fact that
the factory price of the Sterling wheel
to dealers is higher than that Of any
other wheel and it is also fact that
the Pacific Cycle & Mfg. Co. sell the
Sterling wheel to customers at very
small margin of profit. 1t is fact
that honest repairers of bicycles Will
advise you to purchase Sterling. II
is a fact that purchasers of Sterling
wheels are always satisfied and un-
solicited testimonials will be shown on
request. 1t is a fact that the Sterling
bicycle was, at the great National Elk
position at Brussels, Belgium, the only
bicycle which was deemed worthy o.
the Grand PriX.

there were no mechanics to set up the

CHAPTER XvmI.-CoNrrNUED.

l saw n room of moderate size, and
well, but plainly furnished. In the
center was an oblong table covered
with a dark cloth and round about
IL were set number of chairs. The

and then the sound Of voices. Present
ly some one called out: I'VE had bet

other voice, this time Lafin's, said: mo,

and ears intent. There were three men
In the room-Lafin, de Gomeron and
another whom did not know, but
whom | judged to be ON Italian from
mis- manner of pronouncing our Ian
guage. They were all three seated round
the table, porting over number OF
documents and conyersiug in low tones.
After a time IL appeared TO me that
Lain was urging something on de
Gomeron, and the free lance, who was
short Of temper, brought his clenched
hand on the table In n manner TO make

Christmas Entertainment,

The Christmas entertainment in the M
E. Church South, at Gaithersburg, which
was held Monday evening, December Goth,
1898, was one of the best ever given by the
Sunday School of that church. There were
present about five hundred, and there never
was a more attentive audience, showing they
were Interested in the program, which WAS
rendered so delightfully."- by the pupils of the
school.
Mrs. Milllner had charge Of the program.
and the way the children had been trained
gives great credit TO her.
The church was beautifully decorated.
On each side of the pulpit were two lovely
Christmas trees, and at the rear of the pull,
pit was star to represent the "Star of Beth.
lehem." The music on this occasion, in
charge Of Mrs. Egar Briggs, was the best
ever rendered by the choir, and was highly
appreciated by all present. The ladies
quartette and solo song by Miss Nettie
English were also highly appreciated.
After the program came the most inter
esting part for the children, that Of present.
