THIS IS MY GOTH BIRTHDAY.
AIhert A PING.

Albert A. Pope, the pioneer in the
development of the bicycle industry in
the United States. was born in Boston,
May 20, 1S43. and received his educa-
ton in the public schools. Family re-
verses compelled him to earn his liv-
ing at comparatively early age At
IS he was employed as a porter in the
public market in Boston. In 1862 he
went to the front as second lieutenant
Of a Massachusetts infantry regiment
and served until the close of the war
Returning to Boston he opened a small
establishment to deal in shoe manu-
facturers' supplies. He first saw BIZ
cycle at the Philadelphia exposition in
1876, and two years later he gave the
first order for bicycles to be manu-
featured in the United States. In a
few years his company became fore
most in the bicycle industry, with the
main plant at Hartford Conn, and
branch factories in a number of other
cities. Later, when the popularity of
the bicycle began to wane, Colonel
Pope embarked in the manufacture of
automobiles and soon became one of the
leaders in that industry in America.

Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: Look at our
nation as proof The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
