PIucky Family Who Walk Twenty-Five
ffrtf amHGat Miles.

The Kansas City Times has the following:
Last night about seven O clock, we were shown
| man and his family, consisting of his wife and
| six children, who had walked the entire lis
lance from Lone Jack to Kansas City, some
thing over twenty fve miles, They all appear
ed greatly fatigued, in fact, nearly worn out
| from their long and wearisome tramp, the chill
dren particularly. Quite a number of curious
~ inclined people we're busily engaged watch
ing the primitive manner in which they pre-
night and some more liberal hearted than the
rest proposed that if they had not sufficient
means to go to the hotel for the" night they
would take up u collection for them, when the
man suddenly interrupted them by asking,
What day of the month it wasp He was
told by some one standing by, and he then re-
marked, Gentlemen, I'm bleeged to We, but
nigh on to forty years ago me and my old wOm-
an here lived in the State of 1nganny.
That was fore we was hitched together for
life when one nice summers day Teller cum
along mounted on mighty fine looking hos,
and he says to me. Young man, here is a show
bill for you to read and pass around among
your family, and if you want to have fun come
to that show We'll, you see, l did go, and l
took Mandy, too and afore we got back home
we got married, and that showman's name was
Old John Robinson, and Mandy and me took a
pledge if ever Old John came within forty miles
of us, we was goin' sure. No, gentlemen, keep
your money and buy tickets for John Robin
sons show, as / intend doing with mine"
Watch out for the grand street parade of Old
John Robinson in Knoxville Saturday, Septem-
Der 3d.
