will be a bicycle year to make pessi-
mists sit up and take notice. There
were over half a million bicycles made
in the United States this year, and the
proportion intended for use in this
country was an agreeable surprise to
the manufacturers. Orders for De-
cember and january delivery are much
heavier than they were fer these months
a year ago, and there can be only one
answer TO the question the manufact-
urers are asking themselves today.
And, after all, why shouldn't We
ride? Or to put il the other way, why
did we ever stop The bicycle was all
that was ever claimed for it, and is
today. Perhaps the only reason is
that we simply overdid for a time
after the usual American fashion in
such cases.
But while we have been waiting for
the pendulum TO swing the other way,
two highly important factors in the
bicycle game have been developed.
The first is that wheels are much cheaper
than they were five or six years back.
And the second is that they are very
much better than the crop of the late
eos.
Bicycle makers will acknowledge
this with much f~rankness. Hammer
ing down the price has put each in
dividual maker on his mettle. He has
had to show cause, or his rivals would
Outstrip him in the markets. He has
therefore put his strongest arguments
into the wheel itself, and the a

MORE USES FOR DEERsKINs.
Prices Therefore Going Up In the Maine
in the Last Year or So.

BANGOR, Me-, Nov. 24.--One firm in Ban
gor mas agents all over northern Maine
buying deer hides, and thousands of the
hides are received here every season and
shipped to Boston TO be tanned,
IL is only within the last year or two that
the traffic in deer hides has reached large
proportions. A few years ago a deer hide
OF the best quality could be bought for
haH a dollar and the hides were thought OF
so little account that unless the man who
killed the deer had some Use for the skin
he threw it RVp-.
Inc deer hides are now used by the manu-
facturers OF gloves and other articles and
there is a steady demand for them. Tie
demand is shown by the fact that the hides
ave increased almost threefold in value
during the last two years.
The hide of the Maine deer has been
found 10 be excellent material for making
gloves, pocketboOks, bindings and MANY
sinai leather articles. There Ia a GOOD
profit in these articles for the manufactur-
ers because the deer hides can be bought
cheaper than almost any other kin1 OF
leather thaSwOuld answer the purpose
Those who are aware Of the large traffic
in deer hides in Maine fear it may mean
another danger to the big game which
roams the Maine woods. A dealer in hides
must have a license, which costs s.. Under
the protection of this license the dealer
can buy as many deer hides as he can get
hol1 Of. Therefore the question il asked
whether with the dealers offering good
prices for deer hides and having agents all
over the hunting regions buying UP the
hides an incentive will be furnished u
prompt men TO hunt deer for the monsg
there II in them.

money in his pocket, too, and most
pleasant of all, he il an independent
being, no longer compelled to deliver
from ten to twenty cents a day to "a pub
lie utility corporation, for the privilege
of hanging on a strap and looking at the
same old buildings along the same old

One >of the best known American
editors has recently said: "A bicycle
revival would at once pump into the
lungs of our pepole endless hundreds
of millions of cubic feet of oxygen
and the national blood needs it," He
is perfectly right; there is nc n in
denying it, and what is much more
to the point, the public seems to be
with him. People have been riding
wheels lately for pleasure actually
because they wanted to, and not SIM
ply because time and distance were
to be annihilated.
And so. when you come TO think OF
it, why shouldn't the pendulum swing
back, away back to the days when
wheeling was a comparatively new
thing, and We were all at it whenever
we had h spare moment? Did life e
seem brighter than il was in those days?
Did We ever sleep better or was the
national digestion ever so perfect be-
fore or since? No, the fact is, we are
growing loggy, and, many OF US, a trifie
too heavy. So the revival of the bicycle.
already well in sight, is going to be a
good thing for all of us.

One OF the notable signs Of the
times is the unquestioned return OF
the bicycle to popular favor. 1t is
true that riding clubs are not yet pa
rading the streets, and knickerbockers
and divided skirts are not the everyday
sort Of habiliments that they we're "a
decade ago, but at the anne time men,

certainly will not be as lonesome as
they have been this past half-dozen
years.

-In the good old days before we hid to
report from signal boxes, ;" said a Hoboken
policeman, I'VE were able TO get in out
of the wet and lay off in comfortable hunks
until il was time to sneak out to meet the
sergeant on his rounds. One rainy night
Mike, my side pa rtner, and | were stretched
on boards in a cCf III factory in the meadow
section having a quiet smoke when we
heard the tattoo Of a nightstick on the
sidewalk just outside the Office door.
Whist, it's the old mani Mike gasped.
He's onto us. We're in for ten days pay
unless we carcumvint him.
The thought struck me that circumvent
was a pretty big word for Mike to use on
such a ticklish occasion, but | didn't twit
him about his English. We buckled on
our belts in a hurry, grabbed our helmets
and escaped by the back way.
I'VE ran around a block and MikestopEed
