By injecting M. A W. quick-repair cement through the puncture into this inner tube, and then pressing down

on the tire with the thumb, like this,

Very simple, but now every rider hould remember theae two "buts,"or he will fail : Before Injecting' cement, pump up the tire. If yon don't, the inner tube will be flabby, like this,

and the cement will not get inside of It, where the repair atrip lies. 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. It's a regular summ f day picnk to rvvel in the bargains and demolishing price offered by The Coi im u adv r ...en.

A SIMPLE TIRE REPAIR. Punctures in the well known Morgan A Wright tire are mended about aa easily as a man would close a hole in his finger with a bit of court plaster. Inside of the inner tube of the tire lies s long strip of patching rubber, like this:

neer " Him neck was in danger in the days of the San Francisco vigilance committee, and be ran some narrow chances with the law and lynchers afterward. He wan a brave, desperate man, bandy with weapons, axd would fight 'at the drop of the hat. 1 But he pulled through all tronble until the time came, which seems sooner or later to befall almost every desperado, when the strain

of i i aimer and the effect of constant drinking and excitement got the better of hii nerves and judgment. When a desperado gets that way, there are two courses that he may take quit the country, quit drinking and get to work at an honest calling or stay and get killed. The last was what Mulligan chose, but he kept the business in his own hands and forced the pace to the end. "It was st Carson City that the end came to Billy Mulligan. The curds had gone against him all night. The liquor be had drunk bad made him ugly as he walked out of the Esmeralda sidoon one morning. Next door was a laundry, und a Chinaman, ironing clothes, lifted his face to the window jnit as Mulligan was passing. Without a worA the de perado drew his pistol and fired through the glass, blowing the Chinaman's brains oat, then went on to the hotel

where he whs staying, and up stairs to his room in the top story. The door of his room opened near the bead of the stairway, and when the sheriff's officers came to arrest him for killing the Chinaman he stood them off with his revolvers. They knew it meant certain death to some of them to try to rush np the stairway, and they stopped at the

foot to consider. John Colemnn, a particular friend of Mulligan, who was with them, tried to persuade him to surrender. " 'No ose, John,' naid Mulligan. 'I shan't bo taken alive. This is my last day, and the game '11 end right here. Yon keep away and don't get mixed np iu the tronble. ' ' 'Coleman was working along up the stairway as he talked, with the object, perhsps, of gettiug near enough to the desperado to disarm him. " 'Stop where you are, John,' paid Mulligan. ' One step nearer and I'll kill you. ' ' 'Coleman made another step forward, and Mulligan shot him through the heart He permitted the others to tuke the body awsy, keeping them covered with his pMßU all the time. A crowd gathered in tbi botel and the public square which it faced, and plans were

discussed for capturing Mulligan, but

his character for deadly desperation was such that volunteers were scarce. At last it was decided to call out the militia company and take the desperado in his stronghold by seg-ular assault "The troops were mustered in double line iu the public square, facing the ho tel and waiting the order to advance. Through the window of his room in the third story Mulligan conld be seen now and then as be walked to and fro between the stairway and the window, keeping watch against a surprise in either direction. Then, as the face of the desperado appeared once more at the window, one of the soldiers fired with his rifle, killing him instantly. It waa an unexpected shot which undoubtedly saved several lives that would almost certainly have been sacrificed in carrying the room by storm. "Billy Mulligan was a New Yorker by birth and was a typical representative of the old time California 'tough' gambler a class which got its tone and manners from the New York of the volunteer firemen and 'Dead Rabbit' days. (Juick of motion some of them conld pick a fly from the wall with the thumb and finger four times out of five stem and short spoken except where it was part of their game to be snave, rough and tumble fighters, fashionably dressed, with more of ornaments than southern gamblers often wear and distinguished by heavy black mustaches, tbey ran their course in San Francisco, which was headquarters from which they went to the new mining communi ties, to stay while these flourished or until they were driven out They had their day most of them were shot or hanged, or they died in want Here and there, stranded iu some out of the way western community, some decrepit urvivor is found of the old gambler desperado clsss of which Billy Mulligan was a shining example," New York Sun.

Hut Arter tha Millionaire Had Itlrntlttsd HI mar If Ho (lot II U Car. Probably no town of its size hits aa many very rich men as 'olorado Springs. "They have millionaires to burn, " said a gcutlemau who recently visited there. "t 'olorado Springs is the home of W. 8. Stratton, the man who a few years ago was at work with a jackplauu, earn iug a scanty living, but who is now the ' possessor of anywhere from 116,000,000 to a0, 000, OoO. " said my friend. "Stratton does not have the appearance of a man Uirnetlown with a weighty pocket- , book. Much of the tune he goes ubout in clothes a tramp might object to. When he had, iu a couple of years. ! cleaned up the paltry esum of $4, J00, jOOO or $a.000,000 a year himself and family thought they would like a vacation. They concluded to make a I trip to California. "The next day Stratton wont to Denver ou business. His banker had notified

him that he had made a mistake of $'J50,000 in his bank account. He hud that much more in the bank than he thought he had. Upon Investigation bo discovered that he had sent the bank a check for that amount, Just taken from the sale of his mine, which he had not noted. That matter cleared up, Mr. Stratton thought he would see about getting tickets for the California trip As usual, he bad on a rather shabby suit. " 'Have you got a bargain in tickets

to California?' asked Stratton. "The clerk looked him over carefully j and concluded that a bubo had dropped j

I shall have to take along several people servants, yon know, truess you had better give me nine tickets. ' ' While the clerk was staring at him Stratton was struck with a uew idea. " "By tlie w.iy, how much will u special car cost? I like to go us comfortably as possible when 1 travel. Yes, I MM I'll have a special cur. How much will it cost?' "The man told him. It was a large sum.

When he had got orer the threshold, the suave clerk smiled a sort of pensive smile and suid: "You can't do anything with these fellows. It beats tht world how a man w ill h t hi prejudices drive him out into the night to seek inferior accommodations. And yet this man 1( k-d like he knew better too." "What was it dissatisfied him?" "Nothing in the world except that in the only room he'd have there was a folding bed. You see we are crowded now and there are but few vacant apartments. He is a crank on the subject of folding beds because in modern times two or three human beings have been caught iu them when they folded up inopportunely and had their lives crushed out. I pleaded with him that no suh disaster could happen here, for nowadays folding bedi are made with patent catches that absolutely prevent

them from manslaughter. No matter ! a J . . bow -on ly a bed .uch as w, h. Ana pay the Highest Market Price in Cash

ing victim those catches forbid. I told him all this, but it had no effect." "Are most people imbued with this prejudioe?" "Yea.
