Rustjs an enemy of rubber, it will

ally the condition of. the rims on the
wheels, of hla cat, especially If tho j
outer surfaces of the envelopes near
the beads look rusty. This discolor
ation la rust caused by rusted rims.1
This rust If not arrested will gradual-'
ly eat, through the rubber, attacking
the canvas of the envelope. In time
the edges of the rusted rims will be
come more and more uneven, tearing
and eventually destroying the beads.
Furthermore, rust works In between
the beads and the rlma leaving space
for water which also damages the rub
ber.', v 7 ' .' 7
To remove rust from a rim, the tire
should be taken off and the rusty
, parts rubbed clean with coarse emery
paper.' Then smooth the surface with
finer emery paper and re-japan the
rim, applying one coat to the outside
and two to the inside, making sure
first that the surface Is smooth, and
free from rust. ,; Roughness may be
quickly detected by running the hand
along the edge of, the rim. ;,' When the
edge of the rim Is too uneven for the
use of emery paper, first use a file
after whkh emery paper may be used
for finishing. . '7'7'7.

to be one of the most amasinar rltln

competition with him. either In shoot-

". He is who has made such a reoord, and
" not for the purpose of revenue or ex

sport that he has followed from boy

with no stakes at all than forego the
fileasure of the competition. .Hla win
ngs since the 1st of January have
s been two quarters of beef, one beef
hide and one dollar in cash. .
What makes Wlneniller's perform-
ance all the more etxraordlnary is the
fact that he did not lose his right arm
until fifteen months ago. Hla, left
hand was caught In the cogs of a
traction engine and crushed into pulp
in 1893, ana an amputation above the
: wrist became necessary. Up to that
time he had been an enthusiastic
hunter, always scorning a shotgun
end employing a rifle exclusively, even
in tne snooting or amau game.
and with his old one-shot rifle and
black powder charges, instead of the
' metallic cartridge that he uses now,
he made some wonderful scores. His
' accuracy of aim continued even after
nil nana naa Deen crunneu ana re
moved. This accident did not Inter
fere with his love of his chosen sport
any longer than It took the stump to
heal and to enable him to devise a
" strap hold which he used In lieu of a
nana. ...

When Wlnemiller Is rcady to go in
to action he selects a stump or a
fallen log, wiggles out of his coat,
shakes the box oi cartridges out of a
specially prepared pocket, removes
the lid with his teeth and dumiia the
cartridges on the ground. Thenand
always to the amazement of a veteran
marksman he places his Remington
at rest, with the muzzle nolntlnar nn.

Those who sea thla exemplification
or necessity being the mother of Inven-
tlon are somewhat perplexed to know
how Wlnemiller will pull the trlger"
with his tteth an.l avoid deflecting or
raising the musxle of the rifle. He
has made provision for this by having
the breech mechanlxm so delicately
adjusted that the, trigger is what
might be termed a superlative hair -trigger,
By contracting his lips he is
able to draw the taut wire Just ' the
merest fraction of an Inch without tha
lightest movement of his head. . Th .
cartridge is exploded and the bullet
Is driven to Us target. "
The armless marksman has such a
steady nerve that lie can stand per.
fectly motionless for one minute and
hold his rifle In position without
howlne; a tremor.- -
Notwithstanding his great affliction
Wlnemiller is cheerful, courageous
and Is eager to enter the lists
against all comers as he was when
he had two arms. He has a clear
filerclng . eye, -a square jaw and a
aughlng, kindly expression. .
He can lepp ditches and climb
fences with his gun strapped to the
stump of his left arm with aa much
agility as any man of his age, and he.
can outrun most of them. He wants
to practice now for clay pigeon shoot
ing, so that he may enter contests at
county fairs.
Wlnemiller has a great horror of
being regarded as a freak, and under
no circumstances could he be Induced
to display his marksmanship for pay.
He Is one of the moat highly respect
ed citizens tn the community, and Is
proud of the fact, that he has had the
patience and perseverance to bring his
shooting up to the present state of
perfection by the Invention of the
strap and using; his teeth to pull the
hair trigger.
