the hay crop of Texas, if put into the

cotton crop. And yet this hay crop is
now lost to the State, for the want of
enterprise to cut and bale it and send
it to market, the Texans only cutting

The cost of material is something, but when

An English Walker.

THE exploits of an English pedestrian,
Captain Barclay, appear to have been
far more wonderful than any yet at
tempted in this country. When only II
years of age, in 1896, be won a match Of
$500, walking six miles in an hour, fair
heel and toe. Two years afterwards he
walked 20 miles in IA consecutive hours,
beating Ferguson, the celebrated Pedes-
train clerk, by several miles. In the
year following he performed the distance
of $50 miles in two days, walking from
Fenchurch street, London, to Birming-
ham, round by Cambridge. While
training for a match of 90 miles in 213
hours, he walked 10 miles in 19 hours,
a performance that has no equal, 1t is
believed, in the annals Of pedestraian-
ism. In December. 1901, he made 100
miles in Is hours, over as poor a road
as any in the kingdom. He also walked
1 600 miles in 1000 consecutive hours,
a feat once accomplished, We believe, by
Mr.. Weston. Captain Barclay walked
with his dody bent forward, the weight
thrown on the knees. His step was
short, and his feet were lifted but few
inches from the ground. This method,
it is said, quicLens the pace, and en-
ables the pedestrian to better endure the
fatigue of long journey than by walk
ing perfectly erect, as in the latter case
the weight Of the body it thrown too
much on the ankle joints. The walking
dress worn by Captain Barclay was es-
sentially the same as that adopted by
Mr.. Weston.

Just So.

A CALM, blue-eyed, self-possessed
young lady, in q certain neighborhood,
received a long call the other day from a
prying old spinster, who, after prolong-
ing her stay beyond her own conception
of the main question that brought her
thither, said:
Give been asked a good many times
if you are engaged to Mr.. -. Now,
if folks inquire again whether you are
or not, what shall tell 'em I think pa
Tell them" answered the young
lady, fixing her calm blue eyes in un-
blishing steadiness upon the inquistive
features Of her interTogator, tell them
you are sure its none Of your business"
This was a sharp, but deserved re-
buke, for the inquisitive visitress. Well
wager a pretty that the young lady who
administered this rebuke will make q
good wife. 1893

Walker.

The Milwaukee News of the 18th
says pedestrianism is becoming all the
rage out west, and records the following
feat:
Some two weeks since a bet of S1O0
a side was made between Hesse Hassel
and Alfred Wilcox, both of Portage
City, Wisconsin, that the former would
walk from Portage City to Milwaukee in
twenty-four consecutive hours. We'd
nesday evening last, at o'clock in the
afternoon, Hassel started on the trip
His friend, Mr.. Gordon, and Wilcox,
with whom he had the wager, accom-
panied him in buggy. The route tax
en- was the ordinary wagon road which
runs parallel to the railroad. HasseI
ate supper at Fox Lake junction and ar
rived at Horizon a little after eleven
o'clock at night, where he rested an
hour. He then took up the line of
march for Milwaukee; breakfasted at
Woodland dined at Greenville, and ar
rived at Milwaukee twenty minutes past
three o'clock, in good condition, win
ming his wager easily and having forty
minutes to spare. The distance between
Portage City and Milwaukee is ninety
FIVE miles by railroad, and must exceed
one hundred by actual measurmenE of
the wagon road. 1t must be set down
as the most extraordinary day walk on
record in the west.

four hundred per cent.
Quite a number of townships more
than doubled their Democratic VOTE
Three townships gave a unanimous Dem
ooratic vote viz: Jackson township,
Auglaize County, Thurman, 4O7, Hayes
none; Monroe Tp., Mercer County,
Thurman, $40, Hayes none; Granville
Tp., Mercer County, Thurman 1S9,
Hayes none.
Three townships giving nine hundred
aud sixteen Democratic votes, and not
one single Radical or negro suffrage vote,
is an oasis in the desert for their unex-
ampled patriotism. We doubt if any
States where Radicalism has held rule
can produce three townships showing
equal unanimity.
