Backward
Weather-
BO
This isn't an age of prophets and no one can fore
tell what the weather will be, so when we purchased
our summer stock of clothing (a heavy stock as usual)
we little thought that the chill of winter and the
dampness of spring would be with us until June. Of
course we could't sell alpaca coats nor linen suits, nor
summer underwear, nor straw hats with the ther
mometer striking an attitude near the zero point and
the weather men predicting snows. As a consequence
—which is a loss to us though again to you—we find
more summer goods ou our counters than there should
be,
we've decided to mark down the price of every
thing -pertaining to summer wear.
It',,"
Don't Be
Backward-
About coming in and looking over the magnifi
cent stock and getting our "marked down" prices.
Everything—of course we mean summer clothing and
furnishing goods—has received a pencil mark which
will sell it. We'll make friends by this sale which
will insure us a rousing fall and winter trade and the
more friends we make the better we are pleased.
Though the weather was backward, don't you Mr.
Reader be backward but remember this mark down"
sale. Call and see us and we we'll not be backward
in showing you the nobbiest summer goods at a price
-—well the price will make you smile with satisfaction.

BICYCLING IN THE TYROL.
Btronf Mid' Heavy Wheels in Dm la tba
Xfoantnlnoua Iteflom.
i' We found that the bicycle fever
had reached even to our landlord,
who -was experimenting with an
iron rimmed wheel, over which the
saddle was supported by a pair of
elliptio springs. tried it and
said it went very well, though not
sosoft as the "pneu." I lifted it
and did not care to go farther. I told
him. it was too heavy. He said,
"Mawknix muss starker sein"
(That's nothing you must, be
stronger). Probably the extra
weight of this wheel would not be
considered in fixing the load that a
Tyroleee peasant would carry over
the hills from the fields and need
not be regarded as an obstruction to
•toportr The wheels here are nil much
hoayier than ours and much stron
ger. They can be sent up hill by the
tougher thews that grow in this
land, and for safety in going down
hill they have very effective brakes.
The best brake has two pieces of
rubber about 2)f inches long and
thre^-quarters of an inch square,
which are- held flat against the two
quarterb of the tire. It holds very
firmly, and its friotion does not
come on the part that is subject to
the greatest wear. It is used not
with a steady pressure, but with
successive light squeezes. When one
becomes accustomed to it, it gives
excellent control to any degree de
sired,' even to holding the machine
stock still under any load and on
any grade. Even the usual flat brake
has a rubber face, which holds bet
ter and lasts longer than metal. My
American. brakes were "not in it"
on these hills as compared with
those, of the local wheels I rode.
The use of the brake is exacted
law in all towns, and it is almost
versal on country roads. So is
furnishing of the wheel with a
11,.but the better riders in Inns
uqkdo not use this in the city
rests. ~They say they can make

dodging at a struct crossing lu X\e\.
York between m/belf and a l..dv
whom my bell had startled which
came near being annoying. Perhaps
the custom in Paris of hanging a
little sleighbell loosely from the
handle bar is safer. It jingles all the
time, somewhat to the annoyuncp
of the rider. But it has a faint horse
car suggestion which keeps the pub
lic on the lookout Nowhere in Eu
rope did I see the brutal quadrupe
dal scorching that? is suoh a nuisance
and such a .danger with us.
Another device I found to be in
very general use in Tyrol. This ia
a snap clip for holding the front
wheel in line with the machine, so
that it may be stood against a tree
or any other support without fall
ing. It is useful in pushing up hill
with the hand on the saddlo. The
direction is changed by lifting the
hind wheel to right or left. The clip
is set or released in a moment.
