she is so warm.

FOUND HIS WIFE AFTER 47 YEARS.

A Tale That Proves Fiction is no Stranger
Than Truth. .

A romantic story developed recently
at lVilder’s, Ind, by the arrival of
William Easley, living near Elkton,
Ky, to claim his wife after an absence
of nearly forty eight years.

Easley left his wife, a bride of fif-
teen months, and a babe in the cradle
in 1849 to seek a fortune for his fam-
ily. He sold his property, and with
$1,000 started overland for the Pacific
coast to prospect in the mines. He
took up a claim, and letters to his wife
told of promised success. He was gone
a year when his letters stopped: The
wife did not despair, but months
lapsed into years, and still Easley was
not heard from. Mrs. Easley, after
ten years of waiting, concluded that
her husband was dead, and five years
later she again married and moved to
lndiana. Her second husband died in
1896, leaving the widow in indigent
circumstances. -

Easley having learned that his wife,
whom he believed dead, was living,
and the sequel was that he found the
bride of his youth in Wilder. Easley
said he received advices in California
that his wife was dead. He went
from California to Todd county, Ky,
where he is the owner of a large farm,
and where the aged couple will spend
their declining years.

1) id den Treasure.

It is asserted by the Industrielle,
Echo, a reputable German paper, that ,

thousands of five-franc pieces are split
into two halves by their French own-
ers every year, in the hope of “discov-
ering” an immense hidden treasure.
This treasure, according to the legend
firmly believed in France, is an order
to pay the holder 100,000 francs in sil-
ver five-franc coins. When Napoleon
Bonaparte first set the five-franc
pieces in circulation the conservative
mind of the French revolted against
the numiismaitic revolution, and it was
very difficult to induce a Frenchman
to receive or proffer the new coin.
Hence, according to the story, N -

poleon gave it to be understood that '

he had ordered a check for 100,000
francs, written upon asbestos paper, to
be concealed in one of the new silver
pieces. From that day to this nobody
has objected to the five-franc piece.

TIRES THAT LEAK.

The Morgan & Wright single-tum
quick-repair tire must be regarded as
a distinct improvement in bicycle tire
construction. It has the following ad«
vantages: '

paired with plugs, or‘ semi-liquid in‘

jections, as well as in any other.

strip inside'is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in out
No. 3. ‘
The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not
porous. This is on account of the way
in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a. sieve.” W
Many tires rot, because water gets
into the fabric between the two layers
of rubber. The Morgan & Wright
fabric is proof against moisture.
Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is
due to the fabric. ~
Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other tires last as long as Morgan &
Wright tires. Ask, also, what the
Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan & Wright tires are repaired
free of charge, at the factory in
Chicago or at any of the Morgan &
Wright free repair shops, located in
the principal cities. ‘Ki
N. B.-When you have a. puncture
get right off. Riding a tire flat, when
it has a tack or, nail in it, may
damage it considerably.
