Where Are the Walkers?

Excellent days for walking, the glory of the year, but where are the feet? Can Americans walk? Will they, do they walk? A few, perhaps, %

when no trolley or other wheeled transport can be had. Besides, if you walk in these days yon may be thought to be devil-wagonless; and what Is man, woman, life itself without that shoe of swiftness? Old men can remember when bicycling was about as common as taxes.' Do folks bicycle now? In less golden or snobbish regions, yes. In this United States workmen and old-fashioned folks and a few others; but here , again the people who can afford a bicycle mud have a motor car.—New York Bug,
