SURVIVAL OF THE BICYCLE.
Thousands Of the Wheels Are Still
In Use ALI Over the
Country.

Boston held q bicycle reunion the
other day, which added q picturesque
page to sporting history. Five thousand
men and women tailed in the line which
pedaled over Chestnut hill, with delega-
tons from every town OF considerable
size In the bay state. What made this
parade Of unusual interest, says the II
Illustrated Sporting News, was the sight
OF archaic bicycles of vintages unknown
In this generation, portraying the evolu-
ton OF the wheel of to-day, all the way
from the bone shaker of our GRANDPA
theirs.
The modern pneumatic-tired wheel in
this parade typified the rise and decline
OF "craze" of colossal proportions. At
its zenith the whole world seemed to be
riding wheels or seeking the where
withal to own them. How the automo-
bile has invaded this field among the
classes which could afford to choose its
pastimes, without close watch on the
cost, is shown in an interesting fashion,
by the advertising pages of a high-class
monthly magazine. In March OF 1900
there were 16 di1erent advertisements
OF bicycles, from one-haf page to full
page each. and in the same number only
two displays of automobiles, by two
manufacturers, covering two pages OF
the magazine. For March of this year
the same magazine contained IL pages OF
automobile advertising, representing 20
different manufacturers, and one page OF
bicycle advertising. While the CONSOLE
dation of bicycle interests has decreased
the competition in advertising, yet these
figures give fair estimate Of the reversal
of popularity worked out In four years
among the people who could AFFORD TO
shift their form of pastime.
Eight years ago $4,000 bicycles were
ridden in Philadelphia and $4,000 OF
these were owned by men and women
who used them between their homes and
their places of employment. To-day it
is probable that in that city Is. 900 wheels
are used for practical convenience and
this class may have increased. But the
shrinkage of interest has been among
the 35, 600 who used them wholly for
pastime, and the same process has been
going on, in greater or less degree, all
over the country Yet the "craze" In It's
height did great things in pushing the
good roads movement and in rejuyenat-
ing the country hotels, whose dement's
were reaped by the automobile when it
became popular. The bicycle is by no
means a back number, but it has ceased
to be an epidemic.

FIFTIETH ADVERSARY

Tomorrow is the fiftieth anniversary
of the Republican party. 1t is quite
common for the people of Ripon to
claim their city as the birthplace of
the Republican party, and it is true
that it's organization were held there.
But half century ago the Republic
can party was founded in Jackson.
Michigan. Born of Necessity this
child of Destiny was Graded under
the "Oaks," July 6, 1854. Wise men
all over the country were awaiting
it's advent. These extended to it a
hearty welcome and support. Before
the month Of July had closed, Wiscon-
sin, Massachusetts,, Vermont, Ohio
and Indiana had effected similar
organizations. Many other states
soon followed. The Western states
generally combined under the name Of
Republican, but in the East various
names were given to the movement.
All state organizations, regardless Of
name, were supporters of the Jackson
platform, and in 1856, at Philadelphia,
they united in national Republican
party.

magician looked around, be was
evidently not very comfortable, but
replied calmly: "My friend. do not
wish to beat you out of your money
for the five of diamonds is under that
hat. Don't bet on another mans
game" FL. Luther. however, insisted.
The audience grew restless. There
was good chance for a fight. Finally
someone suggested the drinks. They
compromised to bet the drinks for the
house. The hat was removed, the five
Of diamonds was not there, but the
duce OF spades. The magician was
somewhat surprised; the audience
yelled and howled and dragged him
with them off to the Black Grocery.

APLEASANT AND PROFIT.
ABLE ENTERTAINMENT

The juvenile class of Miss Harriette
Williams gave a musical entertain
ment at the M. e. church Friday
afternoon. That was one OF the
pleasantest entertainments that was
ever given by juvenile class in this
city. 1t showed what can be &C
complished through patience and
perseverance. 1t was treat to the
many who attended it. and an educa-
tor to the children who furnish it.
1t was just such an entertainment as
makes US realize that the coming
generation are improving the splendid
opportunities that they enjoy for
becoming better citizens than their
fore-fathers. 1t is not only pleasure,
but rare treat to see so large a body
OF children so we'll trained in their
several parts.
The public school teacher is deServ-
ing OF much praise and credit for the
advanced condition Of our young people
but the music teacher has an entire
different and special work to accom-
plish and it was clearly shown by this
entertainment that Miss Williams
was equal to the emergency and
qualified in every respect to develop
the musical talent in these children
and young people. The time was
when the musical education OF a child
was considered luxury, now it is
necessity. The church was filed and
the audience spoke in highest terms
OF praise OF the entire entertainment,

EARLY ENTERTAINMENT

In the winter OF 1858 strolling
magician wandered into Chippewa
Falls announced that he would give
an exhibition of the magic art. The
Falls House had recently been built
and was about opposite the Chippewa
bridge. The second floor of the hall
was used for public entertainments
when not used as sleeping apart
ment. SO as was customary, on this
occasion the beds were removed and
chairs, benches, boxes and sawhorses
were improvised for seats. All the in
habltants from the aristocratic battle
row to the plebeians in the company's
boarding house attended this first
performance. The audience was no
exception to the audience usually
found In rough frontier village. It
was most cosmopolitan, consisting of
Americans, French, Irish, Germans.
Scotch, Italians, Indians and half
breeds. Every seat was taken and
net few sat on the floor. The magi-
clan performed simple slight-of-hand
tricks and was cheered with many
whoOpS. One OF his tricks caused
considerable excitement. 1t took very
little in those days to excite the
people. The magician borrowed swo
hats from the audience and placed
them on the floor, there was no stage.
Then holding up a pack OF cards he
asked someone to draw two cards from
the pack and after announcing what
they were he had one placed under
each hat. He was then to change
them from one hat to the other with
out touching the hats. The FIVE OF
diamonds was under one, the nine of
spades under the other, and one of the
hats was directly in front of Harve
Luther, the Frenchtown merchant.
Now, Harve was very partial to
game OF draw, which was the prin-
cipal amusement of the day, and he
always carried the documents with
him. The performer turned his back
on the audience for moment. Harye
slipped a card from his pocket and
replaced the one under the hat,
Almost at the same instant the mapi-
clan turned to the audience and said:
81 will command those cards to change
places under the hats, presto change!
You will now find the five of diamonds
under this hat" He stopped to pick
it up, but HarSe was up in second,
his foot on the hat and cried outs sI'I
bet you Ave, I'll bet you hundred
dollars" and he drew roll Of bills
from his pocket, "that the FIVE of

ALMsHOUSE FOR HORSES
Generosity of Pennsylvania Woman
Provides Comfort for Worn
Out Animals.

Horses that have outlived their USE
fulness have a better fate in store for
them now than the boneyard. Through
the generosity OF Mrs. Ryerss, of Fox
Chase, Pa, $4,000 was willed for the
founding of home for equine heroes
who have had their day, and to this
unique establishment owners Of horses
no longer fit for duty may send their
favorites, assured that they will receive
the best of treatment and be permitted
to end their lives in restful contentment
1t costs nothing to keep a horse at the
Ryerss infirmary, as the almshouse for
horses is called. The horse must be
brought to the gate of the institution;
after that all expenses are borne by the
executors of the Ryerss will
About twoscore animals are at pres
ent enjoying the placid seclusion of the
home. Among them are old fire horses,
heroes of the police patrol, family pets,
veterans of the shafts from the CONNER
cial world, bony old carriage horses, and
one ancient Shetland pony, the prettlest
of the lot, even in his ragged age.
A certain allowance of hay and oats
is made the horses night and morning.
They are not expected to do anything
but eat, drink and sleep. They are at
tended by veterinary surgeon when
they have any ailment, are watched and
cared for with the utmost solicitude by
the superintendent and his assistants,
and live lives of quiet ease. with nothing
to do and all day in which to do it. When
they die they are given over to the
"knacker." The Ryerss will made no
provision for the burial Of the horses,
as some think it should.
At first the Ryerss inflrmary was a
home for aged dogs as well as horses,
but the dogs so harried the lives of the
poor old steeds and proved such q bur-
den on the management because OF their
unfortunate tendency to go mad on the
slightest provocation, that it was de-
creed by the executors of the will that
they must be banished from the scheme
Of things at the Ryerss infrmary. Moth
Ing now disturbs the peaceful serenity
Of life at the almshouse for horses. Far
removed frob the beaten track Of travel
for Bustleton, despite its formidable
name, is one of the quietest and most
humdrum Of little villages-the aged
animals live In contentment until the
time comes for them to die.
