Best to -day, and Good for Years, MODEL 13 --LADY'S LIGHT ROADSTER.
THE 97 RED BIRD is a bicycle that Canadians generally may well be proud of. Built of the best material -
that money can buy, every detail of its manufacture looked after with the greatest care, and nothing left undone
to make it a perfect bicycle, it is destined to be immensely popular during the coming season. Every improve-
ment that Canadian skill and ingenuity can suggest will be found in the '97 models. They will be superbly fin
ished, and so constructed that time and wear will prove them to be not only best to -day, but good for years.
RED BIRDS IN AUSTRALIA.
'97 HED BIRO STRONG POINTS.
The follniug are some of the special features of the '97 Red Bird :
Narrow tread and wide hubs, the greater width of hub giv•
hag additional strength.
Large tubing ali round, which, while adding nothing to the
weight, increases the strength and rigidity.
It is absolutely dust -proof, the bearing being protected by
four different protectors.
The new patent ball -oiler, with which this wheel is fitted, is
the best oiling device ever put on a bicycle.
The finger washer, with which it is adjusted, are most sensitive
to the touch, and make a model means of adjustment.
Solid steel center pedals with corrugated ends and side plates
that add 200 per cent, to their strength. The dust -proof oilers
of these pedals are located in the side screws, and are invisible
to the casual observer.
The axle being feathered prevents its turning in adjusting.
Staight bottom fork tubes give greater strength.
Large balls in crank hanger add to the ease in running.
Additional strength is gained by using new fork sides taper-
ing from end to end.
The new crown plates are lighter in weight, but the greater
distance between them adds considerable to their strength.
Red Birci Bicycles are fitted with Electric Pebble Tread Tires,
most easily adjusted, most durable and highest priced tires in the
world, They cost more than other tires, but first cost is last cost.

Accident at a Barn Raising.
Port Llgin, Ont., July- 20.—A serious
accident occurred last evening at a
barn raising on the farm of Mr, Angus
McGillivray, about two miles from this
place. As the last bent was being put
up, one of the men, named Jackson

Di Fogg and Short-sighted
Merchants.
-The manufacturers of Diamond Dyes
'receive letter orders every day from
e,ountry places for Diamond Dyes
Tesdies say their village store -keeper
has been talked into buying one of the
very inferior makes pat up to outward
1y imitate the world -famed Diamond
Dyes. They have tried these dyes,
and the result was failure and loss of
goods.
These country storekeepers (many
of them) will not put in a stock of
Diamond Dyes until they get rid of
their poor goods, This means loss of
.trade to the short-sighted dealer. Dia
mond Dyes are certainly the fa vorites
in country, town and city, and live
merchants sell them.
Any lady in the country who cannot
• obtain Diamond Dyes from her dealer
can write to Wells & Richardson Co.,
Montreal, foe the color required, stating
whether it is to be dye wool, cotton or
.411k, and the dyes will be sent by mail.

Killed While Cutting Hay.
Pickering, Ont„ July 20th.—Peter
tleDermid, a farmer, living a mile
from here, was killed this morning
while cutting hay. His team took
fright, ran away, throwing him under
the machine, and he was dragged some
distance before the horses stopped
When taken out he was unconscious,
and died in about an hour. He was 60
years of age and leaves a widow and
two sons.
Attempted Suicide in a Box Car.
Walkerville, July 19.—About noon
to -day the Grand Trunk switchman
discovered in a box car about a quart
er of a mile above here a man appar-
entle, dying. He called to Conductor
Noble of the L E. & D. Railway, and
together they tried to arouse him, but
failed. An envelope was found in his
pocket marked morphine. He was re-
moved to the police station and Dr.
Hoare summoned, who applied a stow
ach pump, and after working on him
for nearly an hour he showed signs of
life. Among other things found in his
pockets was a note written on the mar-
gin of a newspaper, which read as fol-
lows :—" If I die, 1 am Nathan J. Pierce
of Ann Arbor, Mich." It is quite evi-
dent he took morphine with intention
of committing suicide. He was taken
to the Hotel Dieu, Windsor, but his re-
covery is doubtful.
Mowing Machine Accident.
Alexander Robinson, a well known
Nornington township farmer residing
on lot 1, concession 11, met with a ser-
ious accident ou Wednesday last while
cutting hay with a mower drawn by a
span of horses. He was cutting the
timothy on a rough piece of ground
when he was thrown backward off the
machine. The lines were tied to the
back of the seat and he fell on them.
This sudden action caused the horses
to back the mower upon him one wheel
passing over his body from the left
shoulder over the chest and abdomen
injuring his lungs and causing other
severe internal injuries. The horses
theta ran away and smashed the ma-
chine considerably before caught. Mr,
Robinson wbo was working alone, got
up and walked to the house with diffi-
culty and much pain. Inflammation
is feared but should this not set fn, his
recovery will be more certain.
THE SUCCESS OF THE RED BIRD in Australia in competition with the best
wheels of Great Britain and the United States has beenphenomenal, their superior-
ity on both road and race course having been proven time and again. In this con-
nection the Australian Wheelman says:
" C. 13, Kellow, the winner of the Australian wheel race, has ridden a Bed Bird for the
past two weeks, and during that time has won over ,45oo and covered himself with glory, and
made his name famous throughout the cycling world. The Bt.'Kilda wheel race, Melbourne
Plate and the Australian Competition Record for the half -mile and mile at Golbourn, in which
Iie defeated all Australian cracks, are among his Red Bird successes (luring the past few days,
As Bellow only required about 15 minutes to win £soo, it is not bad bnsiness' and goes to
prove that though the Red Bird costs more, it pays to ride the best."
In a more recent number the paper says:
" The success With which the Brantford Red Bird bicy.
eles are meeting in Australia is phenomenal. No other
machine which ever came into the market has been taken
up so enthusiastically by the public, and no other wheel
has had such a succession of marvelously brilliant wins.
One would have thought that the securing of a double win
and two competion records at Golbourn and then the St.
Kilda wheel race at 45o, and later the great Austral
double, would have been about a fair share of the season's
wins for one machine, but the Red Bir 1 goes right on
carving its victorious way, and now has added the scalp
of Parsons in another great challenge match, and two new
Australian records. to its brilliant list. The records are
the five and ten miles, and Bill Martin has put them down
where they will be difficult to get at, On Saturday Mar-
tin rode a light Red Bird geareto 14. This is an enor-
mous strain to which to subject a wheel, and that the
little Red Bird came triumphantly throught is a tribute to
the splendid quality of the workmanship in the machines,"

Grant as a Boy.
The late Colonel Jesse E. Peyton in
his book of reminiscences thus described
his first meeting with General: Grant:
"In the year 1838 I was working as a
boy in a country store at Flat Rook,
Bourbon county, Ky. *Ulysses S. Grant
was then a boy, living at Georgetown,
0., not many miles distant. One day
Grant drove over to Flat Rock with the
niece of my employer. Grant was then
16 years old, awkward, ungainly, de-
termined, industrious and very poorly
dressed. He drove a vicious horse. The
night after his arrival at Flat Rock be
slept with me in the store. It was a cold
night, and we boys kept close to the
lee of the counter.
"In the morning Grant asked me if be
could assist me. I said 'Yes.' He help-
ed me take down the abutters and sweep
out the store and put stock in plaoe.
After breakfast he drove off. 1 heard
from him afterward of his drive home.
Before be had gone far from Flat Rock
his horse ran away, and finally brought
up with a crash in a fence corner. Noth-
ing broke. Grant jumped out, seized
the trembling horse by the bridle and
tied his handkerchief over the beast's
eyes. He droye the horse blindfolded
411 the way to Georgetown, 0."
John Barber, of Komoka, committed
suicide by swallowing a dose of Paris
green Thursday. He belonged to a
very respectable family but had led a
very dissipated life of late especially
since bis return eight months ago from
South Africa where he has been a par-
ticipant in the war. His father dying
a few years ago left him between $3000
and 5i000 which has all been spent. It
is supposed he committed the deed in a
fit of remorse.
