ART COMMITTEES MEETS.

The members of the art committee
of the Hammond Woman's' club met
at the home of Mrs. Sarah Rothschfld
in South Holman street yesterday aft
ernoon for the first meeting of the
club year. The committee planned at
yesterdays meeting to hold study ses-
sions every two weeks on Monday, the
next one to be held Nov. 8. There was
not as good an attendance as had been
expected, due to the Indictment wealth
er and the illness of several of the
members, but an interesting study of
the Raphael was enjoyed. The mem
bers present enjoyed a general discus
sion of the work and the meeting
proved very informal one.

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 1t may be seen con-
veying the messenger boy upon his
leisurely way. There is an occasional
"cld-timer" who still wheels for health
and pleasure lonely figure upon q
highway made noisy IL not musical BY
the honk Of the motor car. The sta
tisticlans Of the census bureau tell a
melancholy tale Of the decline and fall
Of the bicycle as pleasure vehicle.
In 1900 the bicycle industry paid
$10,O0O,OO0 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 100000
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 today. Ten
years ago good bicycle cost 500. A
better one may be bought to-day for
$780,, 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 indisputable. 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 1t. But in the
main bicycling was wholesome,
healthful form Of recreation when 1t
was expensive and arduous. 1t is Just
as healthful since it has become mex
pensive and less wearing. Its revival
would be beneficial not only to manu-
facturers and wage earners but also to

They take little things where man
wouldn't take the chance, because he
knows the value isn't enough to risk
the chance Of being caught. Look at

it.
"But when the shoe wears out on the

man. He isn't man Of his word. Don't
extend any credit to him. because you're
liable not to get paid. He's liable to
be n pretty slippery customer In

"How about these shoes?" asked an
other listener as he held up his for in
spection.
II can't tell anything about the
soles, because you've just had them
mended. But can tell by the counter
that you're changeable in your nature.
You're not rs steadfast as you should

handed to him he said: Now If you'll

counter Is swung inward. The man
who breaks his counter down toward
the inside Of his foot Is changeable In
his nature. 1t isn't very marked in this

Every one does that. It doesn't
mean anything in 'slroeology.' But there
are men who wear their shoes out

Why it Is so, even to certain ex-

GREW TREE FOR HIS COFFIN.

Boards Cared for by Farmer Used
for the Box InclOsinx 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 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.

walnu. tree, particularly straight and
pretty, while he was clearing some
ground on his farm. He was a 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 IL
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
were placed in Mr.. Mason's barn an6
were carefully kept
Last night Mason died, after an Ill
ness that had lasted for several years
but tomorrow, by the decision Of tn,
family, these boards which he cut from
the walnut tree will be used, not FOL
the coffin, but for the box in which tn,
casket will be inclosed.
| A queer man was Ember Mason, wht
was 81 at the time of his death, ant
he took great delight In caring for hi

cut therefrom.
II reckon I'll take these boards t,

I might need that coffin most any time.
But "these boards" were never take
