working for Bryan, when he was
down on his knees to Rome as we'll
as Taft, and their reply, which is
short I enclose same), is a comment
on you, and, by the way, my paper
used to come in wrapper, but now
it doesn't, which is an indication
that there are more than one getting
the paper in Columbia. Some time
ago I had forty copies mailed to diff
ferent persons in Columbia and no
doubt some others are taking the pa
per. IF so, I claim the credit Of get
ting some one interested. Mr.. Ezra
J. Weaver, Of Lancaster, got me to
subscribe for the Jeffersonian.
Yours respectfully,
A. K. BRUBAKER.
(The letter he enclosed:)
10 fremont St., Boston, Sep. 80, '08.
Mr.. A. K. Brubaker:
Dear Sir: Your favor received and
papers sent. Tom Watson is a good
fellow and the Prohibition candidate
is a good man. But we want to de-
feat Rome and Roosevelt, and there
is no hope for defeating Teddy ex-
cept through Bryan-though we do
not care much for him. Yours,
r. J. LONG, Editor.
(Note: The Boston editor is in a
fix. He likes Watson, but will not
vote for him. He likes Chaplin, but
will not support him. He doesn't
think much Of Bryan, but is for him.
The reason given is the funniest thing
of all. The Boston editor wants to
deal a blow at the Roman Catholics,
and believes that the best way to do
it is to elect Bryan! Norman Mack,
Tom Taggart, Charles Murphy, Pat
McCarren and the Tammany push
generally will be amused when they
hear of this.
Why, Bryan wouldn't let his Den
yer Convention begin its work until
after Catholic bishop had "led us
in prayer" and his managing men
are Catholics. Would Bourke Cock
ran, rigid Catholic, be making
speeches for Bryan if the Boston ed
itor's view of the campaign were cor
rect9
Would Tammany-which represents
the Catholic Church in New York pol
itics-be ardently for Bryan if his
election would mean the "defeat of
Rome"q
Really one Of the anamolies of this
queerly mixed campaign is that the
Methodist preachers of the Middle
West should be taking such an active
part for Bryan when his campaign is
so largely controlled by Roman Cath
olics.

here today, dealing with the attitude or
the government in securing equality of
treatment for American citizens visit"
ing Russia, and also explaining the gov
ernmcnt's position in the case Of Jan
Jauoff Pourcn, the Russian refugee
now detained in New York city by the

treaty OF 1882. which provides for
reciprocal rights of residence aud travel

GREW TREE FOR HIS COFFIN.
Boards Cared for by Farmer Used
for the Box IncIOsimG Casket.

The wish of Ember Mason, farmer,
made fifty years ago and carefully fos-
tered through the long years following,
that he be buried in a coffin made from
walnut tree which he had grown
himself, is only TO be partly granted.
Mason died last night at his home near
Leeds. says the Kansas City Star.
Fifty years ago Mason found a young
walnut tree, particularly straight and
pretty, while he was clearing some
ground on his farm. He was man
of queer ideas and he decided to let
that tree grow for the particular pur-
pose of providing wood for his coffin
The tree grew in the center of a mead
ow from which all the other trees had
been cleared. Fearing however, that it
might be struck by lightning and de-
stroyed, and it was already grown large
enough for the purpose for which he in
tended it. Mr.. Mason about three years
ago had it cut down and sawed up into
lumber The "butt cut" from which
he took the lumber for his coffin,
SQUARED fourteen inches. The boards
we're placed in Mr.. Mason's barn and
were carefully kept.
Last night Mason died. after an i'll
ness that had lasted for several years,
but tomorrow, by the decision of the
family, these boards which he cut from
the walnut tree will be used. not for
the coffin. but for the box in which the
casket will be incloSed.
A queer man was Ember Mason, who
was 81 at the time of his death, and
he took great delight in caring for his
coffin tree and later from the boards
cut therefrom.
Il reckon I'll take these boards to
town an have 'em made up pretty
soon," he said to a visitor several years
ago.
I'm givin' out putty fast O. late an
7 might need that coffin most any time"
But those boards were never taken
to town The old man became weaker
every day and never found the oppor-
tunity. For fifty-six years, with the
exception of four years in the Civil
War. Mr. Mason lived in his home, a
quaint. old-styled structure on a hill
overlooking the valley of the Blue Riy-
er. He was born in Tennessee and
used to remark often that he was a

save those who are forced by hard
taskmasters to be upon their way to
work, the bicycle is seen threading its
way to mill and factory. Throughout
the day and night it may be seen con-
veying the messenger boy upon his
leisurely way. There is an occasional
''old- timer who still wheels for health
and pleasure-a lonely figure upon a
highway made noisy if not musical by
the honk of she motor car. The sta
tisticians of the census bureau tell a
melancholy tale of the decline and fall
of the bicycle as a pleasure vehicle.
In 1900 the bicycle industry paid
$10,0O0,O0O in wages and salaries,
bought $17,OOO,OO0 worth of materials
and employed 10000 Americans. Since
then the business has slumped until
about 100000 machines a year are
manufactured now, as against 10000
in 1900 The 100000 persons who
bought bicycles in 1900 are not motor
ing. Most Of them are walking or rid
ing upon street cars. From the stand
point Of the consumer nothing has fill
ed the gap caused by the death of the
bicycle craze. And yet bicyclists were
never offered such opportunities for
good sport as they are to-day.
Where there was one mile Of good
roadway in and about the parks and
approaching the country roads ten
years ago there are ten to-day. Ten
years ago good bicycle cost 500. A
better one may be bought to-day for
$50. Both bicycling and the ownership
Of bicycle present simpler problems
than were presented to the cyclist in
the days when Everybody" rode.
That the bicycle craze was a craze
is indisputabe. Many persons rode to
excess. Many of the physically unfit,
SO physicians assert, rode despite their
unfitness. More time and money and
nerve force were wasted upon the
sport than, in strict economy, should
have been devoted to it. But in the
main bicycling was wholesome,
healthful form of recreation when it
was expensive and arduous. 1t is just
as healthful since it has become mex
pensive and less wearing. It's revival
would be beneficial not only to manu-
facturers and wage earners but also to
