Ryland'S Gift.

The Teller: Mr.. Ryland's gift to
the city of Lancaster is such that it
may be called a $4,000 gift. Any
owner of the site, the block of ground
bequeathed, would value it at $25, 700
if able to keep it. Then he gives $4,000
for the statue, $1,000 for the arched
entrance, $1,000 for a fountain, $4,000
for walks and fence, and $4,000 towards
the building. These amount to $49, 900.
Some of these sums are to be invested.
The interest when they come to be used
would amount to much more than
another thousand.

ham, state of Washington. A newspa-
per of that city in announcing his death
said:
"Mr. Graham was born in New York

he moved with his family westward to
Wisconsin. When he was % years old,
in 1850, ,he crossed the plains with an
OK team to California. That was dur.
ing the first memorable gold rush to
that state.
After remaining in California for
some years he returned to Wisconsin
and lived ON his farm located in that
state, until 1858, when he again made
long trip to the State of California.
For two years he remained in California
and made side trip during this time
to Mexico. He continued to live in the
western part of the country thereafter
until seven years ago when he. came to
Bellingham to make his home with his
daughter. 49, 4 tss

The thumb which bends back easily
personifies great adaptability, extrava-
gance, brilliancy, and versatility.
The owner of such a thumb is at
home in changing circumstances-in
fact. is home anywhere-is generous,
sympathetic, sentimental, and, as a
rule, improvident.
They are easily reached through their
hearts, and it is difficult for them TO
pass a beggar on the street without
contributing a mite.
The owner of a stiff thumb is prac-
ticaI. matter Of fact, economical, ex-
acting, and weighs everything care
fully.
He is the possessors Of a strong WILL
and is stubbornly determined.
He is cautious, reserved, and seldom
impressionable, or cares to invite conf
dence.
Such a person has a great power to
accumulate by plodding.
The owner of a stiff thumb cannot
make his money as easily, nor has he
the power Of making as much as the
more limber-thumbed individual, but
what no makes he is generally able to
hold.
He is no extremist, and enjoys a
quiet life. seldom cares TO fiaunt. is not
erratic, and prefers to stick to one

atmosphere indoors, due TO imperfect

to keep them warm, there would be
less occasion for cough medicine than
is now the case.
OF ell the so-called minor Ills Of the

irritates the mucous membrane OF the

leaving them sore and inviting attack
from the countless germs of dread tu-

A simple inexpensive cough medi-
cine can be made by mixing two

eight ounces Of pure Whisky. Shake

BOOM in THE
BICYCLE TRADE
Tire Requirements Show
Many Wheels in Daily
Use

The steadily growing interest i'm the
bicycle which is being shown all over
the country has brought TO light SOME
figures which are intensely interesting
to nearly every one. inasmuch as prac-
tically every man. woman and young
ster in the United States has at one
time or another during the bicycle days
been seated on a wheel.
During the past season il was osti-
mated that there were between l.500.
900 and 100000 pairs of bicycle tires
made by the different manufacturers
in the United States. Looking back
for the past twenty years II is a safe
prediction to say that this number of
tires were made in each Of these years
at the very lowest estimate. This
would make an average total of 35.000
900 pair or 7O.0O0,OOO single tires which
have been manufactured during that
time.
Each Of these tires contains one and a
half yards of fabric, and figuring this
fabric at an average cost Of 90 cents
per yard brings the cost Of the fabric
alone to s21, 900. OO0 It also can be
safely asserted that at least seven
ounces Of rubber on an average Of S1.20
per pound. would bring the value of
the rubber to Ss6,75OOO0 In addition
every tire contains about twelve ounces
of other ingredients which average
about 81 cents per pound. making
cost of $4,000, 900. These two items to-
gether with the cost Of the fabric S21,-
O0o. .000 making grand total of S91 ,350.

Competent authority furnish the in
formation that S15O.OO0.OOO would he a
low estimate OF the cost Of the other

Of bicycles during the last twenty
