PAINTERS SECRET VALUABLE
u the Man Who Painted Sign at
Harper's Ferry Is Alive, a For
tune Awaits Him.

The living worth of good work is
always recognized. even in small
things. Sign-painters do not usually
achieve wealth or fame, yet it is said
that a fortune awaits the man who
painted station sign at Harper's
Ferry, on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, shortly after the completion of
the line at that point. The Western
Society of Engineers has the sign on
exhibition at their rooms.
The engineers are trying to ascer-
tain who mixed the paint and applied
1t to the sign. which was placed in
position at the Harper's Ferry station
about thirty years ago. The summers
way dimmed the luster of the paint
used to make the words "Harper's
Ferry" They stand out as boldly
as the day they were formed by the
artists brush.
The wood around the letters has
been worn about one-sixteenth of an
inch by sand beaten against 1t by
fierce winds. but the letters have
withstood the elements.
1t is asserted that no paint manu-
featured nowadays is equal in dura-
bility to that which was applied to
the old sign. and If the person who
mixed it is living and will take ad-
vantage of the secret he possesses
as to its composition It is said he
can, by engaging in the paintomanu-
featuring business. soon accumulate
wealth.

BICYCLE INVENTED LONG AGO
Frenchman First Hit Upon II "a Of
Two-WheeIed Vehicle In f6fc-%
Known as Celerifere.

Mr.. Frank H. Vizetelly tells The
Story of the Wheel in the st. Nicho-
las. Mr. Vizetelly says:
In the year 1890, NJ de Sivrac. a
Frenchman, hit upon the notion of
making a vehicle upon two wheels,
while its rider sat astride a saddle on
wooden beam to which two cross
pieces were firmly fixed. At the end
of these cross pieces there were
wheels, kept In position by a lath-like
connecting rod. The frame repre-
sented some animal. This primitive
bicycle. known as the Celerifere. was
never fitted with hande bars. and was
steered only by the feet of the rider.
which also had to keep his balance.
In mounting, he had to run alongside
and vault into the saddle. Once the
machine had been set going by q push
upon the ground with tho feet, the
man upon it would draw them up.
bending his knees, and without further
effort could travel some distance.
When the pace slackened the rider
had to repeat the pushing. and SO
continue his journey. Much ground
was covered in this way on level
roads. and especially downhill. in q
short space of time; but it was hare
to go uphill.
1t has been claimed by some that
the Celerifere was the invention of an.
other Frenchman named Blancn9rd.
whom Louis XVI once commanded to
perform before him on this vehic1 n
July, 1873. Beyond the fact -tha<
q performance took place, on than
other occasions in public, there y 10
nothing to support this claim. In fact.
it was not until Blanchard had crossed
over to England that he excited inter-
est; once there, however, he was
favored by the duke Of York. and be-
gan TO attract attention. Under tho
fostering care of royalty the Celeri-
fere, then known as the Dandy
horse" became popular among the
English, who took to it with enthusi-
asm. but were soon laughed out OF
their fancy by jokers and cartoonists.

By CARL JENKINS


Mr.. James Skeen was a widower Of
fifty. He had the reputation Of be-
ing a persistent man. AS he had had
a lawsuit that lasted twenty-five years,
his persistency had been proved. 1t
was also known that he had courted
his wife for six years and then car
ried her OF by main force.
Mrs. Faber was widow. She was
pretty we'll fixed financially. and she
didn't care to marry again. She had
been put to the test and had refused.
She was buxom and good natured, and
Widower Skeen had no moral or legal
right TO come bothering. But he did.
He made UP his mind one day TO
ask her to be his wife. He expected
TO be refused. but that didn't worry
him.
The widower was hoeing corn in a
lot next TO the widows house. He
was barefooted and had on q torn
shirt. a pair Of overalls and an old
straw hat Five minutes after making
up his mind he dropped his hoe,
climbed the fence and appeared at
the widows back door. She was scour-

spot, and that club was meant for

1t so happened. however, that he
was called away for the next two
weeks on business, and the club was
not brought into use. One day, just
as the two weeks were up, the Widow
Faber started out to pay visit to

through the town. On the path she
took this creek was crossed by a foot
