tanned when bicycles came into general
use few years since, and it has proved
correct to a great degree, since eques-
trianism and drives for pleasure have
never regained the popularity which
was theirs previous to the introduction
of the fascinating safety"
The utilitarian range of the bicycle,
however, is not wide. Personal eXertion
more or less severe is necessary to it's
propulsion, and as a burden bearer it
has been a success only in a very limit
ed degree. Therefore the horse has
continued to defile our streets, deafen
our ears with the clatter of his hoofs
and fill space on our crowded thorough
fares.
The automobile, however, is destined
to revolutionize all this. Practical
demonstration has proved it's worth,
and it is only question of a very brief
time before it will be freed from the
few faults which now initiate against
it's absolute perfection.
While France and England have
been for the past ten years experiment
ing with and for the past five years
utilizing the automobile. they have not
produced a machine of this kind which
is comparable for lightness, strength

attempted she is determined to accom-

comfort or possible accident and suf-

There is not a man or woman in the

husband well. They are working not
for themselves but for the progress of
