I, the CYCLE EXPERT have
told you every week, what a
good Bicycle consists of, and
in spite o f it, this Man put
his confidence in nice Pictures, sent his money to a Mail
Order House and paid the Freight for Something that looked like the
Bicycle in the Catalogue. Now I am not a Knocker, but I warn you
against sending out o f town for anything and especially for Bicycles.
They may be cheap—but they are only cheap Frames, cheap Tires and
cheap Fittings, and the repairs will cost you more than they are worth.
When you buy from G. C. D an ielson , Pacific A ve., Forest Grove, you
see what you get, and he is right here at home to make good or replace
any defective part, for every Bicycle that comes out o f this store is
backed by the quality endorsement. Watch for me next week.

the "History of Greece,” long the stand
ard on that subject, was a man of
great simplicity nnd was wholly un
conscious o f ills own celebrity. Several
anecdotes Illustrative o f this fact are
given In “ Some Famous Women of
W it and Beauty,” one of whom is Mrs.
Grote.
While Mr. Grote was walking In the
park he would perhaps notice that one
or two persons looked at him with
some attention. He would at once turn
to his w ife In alarm.
“ Have I got any dirt on my face.
Harriet? Is there anything the matter
with my hat?" and he would clutch his
headgear with both hands. "W h y arc
those people looking at me?"
Mrs Grote’s proud answer was, "B e
cause you are George Grote, that's all!”
Once when he was on a visit to Cam
bridge Grote wished to see the profes
sor o f natural history, but was told
that tlie professor was so busy dissect
ing something that he could not be in
terrupted, “ strong magnifying power,
powerful light, shirt sleeves up, cannot
be bothered with nnybody.” The mod
est historian would have retired," but
his w ife persisted that it was Mr. Grote
who wished to see the professor.
"W h at?" he cried. “ Mr. Grote? Give
me my coat I must wash my hands."
In a minute he had transformed him
self nnd would not let them go for two
hours.
Animals Don't Need Eyst.
Animals do not depend upon their
eyesight In the same way ns human
beings. Cats nnd dogs could get along
very well without eyes. A cat can
find her way with the aid o f her
whiskers. These are the same width
as her body and connected with nerves
which cause her to feel the slightest
touch.
Dogs enn be entirely guided by their
sense o f smell. Blind dogs hnve been
known to scent and find their way to
the most Inaccessible places. Their
hearing is also preternaturally sharp.
Buts can see very little and depend
chiefly upon their noses, muscles,
touch and hearing.
In the case of
most animals the senses o f smell and
touch are more highly developed than
that o f sight, and they do not require
to depend upon their sight nearly ns
much ns do human beings in regard to
safety.—London Globe.
