Released from cares and duties,
And speed through meadow, copse and glen,
Admiring Nature beauties.

And glide between the hedges;
Through hamlets now, and then a town
And dart across the bridges

How many wheels are there in Lin
coln?" is a question frequently pro-
pounded to me by strangers and by
home people who do not ride. As yet /
have found out no way Of acertaining
the number with any accuracy. But
wait until next year or the year after.
1t will then be an easy matter. All yod
will have to do will be to count the
people who do not ride, and subtract
them from the total population. 1t will
be an easy problem.

article. the caption OF which is really
becoming a serious question with many
who have their money invested in horses
and buggies and conducting what is
known as livery stable. And in an
other year or two it will have become a
still more serious one. The tandem is
going to prove a very popular means Of
an outing and there is going to be more
money in renting wheels than in rent
ing horses and buggies in a compare
lively short space OF time.

WHAT WILL THE LIVERY MEN DO?

1t has long been recognized fact
that the extensive use of the bicycle
has cut into the business of men who
keep horses to let.
How extensive has been the effect of
this readjustment in methods of trans
portation is shown by the frequent al
lusions which have been made to the
subject in papers devoted to the horse
and his vehicles.
As the world progresses such changes
as this must necessarily come about.
People as whole know what they
want, and the livery stable keeper who
watches the growing tendencies. will.
ere this. have discovered that horses
are to limited extent, being super
ceeded.
People who cannot afford to keep
horses are expected to become more or
less familiar with this wonderful new
vehicle which doesn't require horses.
Many of those who cannot afford
new bicycle take a second hand one
from some more fastidious or better
fixed friend Tor enemy, as it sometimes
happens).
This constant wearing out Of machines
is fortunate thing, for it enables PEG
pie to ride bicycle who could not have
a new one Of even the cheapest make.
Second hand machines may be had
at all prices, so that any person who is
not reduced to absolute beggary can
usually find one at an appropriate
figure.
In many instances the tandem has
superseded the horse and buggy and
the livery man has been obliged to ad-
just his business to suit the new order
Of things.
A recent number of the Livery Stable
contains the following. 1t is the best
and most comprehensive article that
has come to us.
THE most sensible and apparently the
only thing for them to do is to place
themselves in position where they can
retain the business that is now fast
leaving them. That position is TO keep
bicycles for hire and be prepared to

And yer make less noise than the rabbits tread

meet the demand for both bicycles and
other vehicles There is good de-
mand for bicycles, they cost less than
horses, harnesses and buggies, they
don't get the heaves or the collie. and
don't require any feed.
From what has been said il is self
evident that the competition Of the bi.
cycle must be met in business like
way. There will be no additional ex-
pense on the livery man for rent or
labor and the only outlay will be the
original investment for bicycles. which
will be no more than it would cost to
restock the stable with buggies In
that way only can the livery trade meet
the condition now presenting itself. 1t
is bad business policy to allow man TO
settle himself next door to your stable
and by keeping few bicycles take
away your trade. Your business is to
keep conveyances for hire and to be
governed as to the conveyances by the
public demand. Surely no sensible
livery man would lay in one style of
carriages il he know that the style is
not wanted and cannot be let. He would
certainly buy the vehicle he could let
and to Tire best advantage. OF course
the wiser plan is to keep enough horses
and such vehicles as can be let, and, to
add to these. bicycles. 1t is no argu-
ment to say that it was never done be-
fore the same conditions never existed
before.
Adapt yourself to the circumstances
which confront you; these are a heavy
demand for bicycles. BE prepared to
furnish them. and as they are little
trouble and less expense than light
vehicles with a proportionately greater
profit. reap the benefit of your enter
prise which the riding public will APP
reciate. A considerable number of
livery men have already sensed the sit
uation, bought bicycles. and are salts
fed with their venture
This is the season for bicycles and
there can be no doubt that those who
are first in the field will have the adj
vantage. Before the summer is over
this new departure can be made to pay
for itself and leave handsome promise
for the summers work. Having bicy.
cles to let will certainly not interfere
with your letting horses so that it can
not injure the business you already
have; it will, however, prevent your trade
leaving you and going to others who
are more enterprising. A business man
should not only strike when the iron is
hot, but keep on striking until the iron
gets hot. The sooner livery men will
consider bicycles as proper livery vehi,
Giles the better it will be for the trade

President Ed. NJ. Allen, of the C's
has been riding around town for several
days with an air so important, dignity
so weinspiring and withal smile so
pleasant as to cause his friends, one
and all, TO wonder what has come over
Ed anyhow? II is all owing to the re-
ceipt Of letter from Memphis, Mo-,
