A Famous Runner.

Fifty years ago his rcnown spread all
over Europe. This was Ernest Mensen.
His exploits make the pedestrian feats
of the present day look insignificant. He
was a runner who first came into notice
by running from Paris to Moscow, dis
lance of 1850 miles, in thirteen days
and eighteen hours. In 1886 he ran
through Central Asia from Calcutta to
Constantinopc, bearing dispatches for
the East India company. The distance
is 5,G15 miles, and he accomplished it in
tifty-nine days, one third of the time
taken by the swiftcst caravan. A favor
lite employment for him was the mes
scnger extraordinary of sovereigns. lie
ran from country to country bearing let
tiers and dispatches of the highest i'm
port, and always beat mounted couriers
when matched against them. He never
walked, but always ran. Invariably he
took the direct route to his destination,
climbing mountains, swimming rivers,
and guiding himself through forests in
a way known only to himself. His food
was a small quantity of biscuit end rasp-
berry syrup. His rests he took twice in
twentyfour hours. when he usually
leaned against some support, covered
his face with handkerchief and slept.
If he was compelled to remain quio any
length of time he complained of giddi-
ness and rush of blood to the head. In
1912 he was employed to discover the
source of the Nile. Starting from Sill
esia in May, lS43, he ran to Jerusalem,
thence to Cairo, and up the banks of
the Nile into Egypt. Just outside the
village Of Lyang he was seen to stop and
rest, leaning against palm tree, his
face covered as was his wont. He rested
so long that some persons tried to wake
him. They tried in vain, for he was
dead.

The Hon. John Kelly the head and front
OF Tammany Hall, a man OF strict integrity,
an indefatgable worker, early at his office,
late to leave so burdened with business that
regular meals were seldom known by him,
with mind in constant tension and energies
steadily trained, finally broke down.
The wonder is that he did not sooner give
way. An honest man in all things else, lie
acted unfairly with his physical resources
He was ever dawing upon this bank without
ever depositing a collateral The account
overdI avn, the bank suspends and both are
now in tho hands Of medical receivers
1t is not work that kills men, 1t IS irregu
larity OF habits and mental worry. No man
in good health frets at his work. Bye and
bye when tho bank of vigor suspends, these
men will wonder how it all happened. and
they will keep wondering until their dying
day unless, perchance, some candid physician
or Interested friend will point out TO them
how by irregularity, by excessive mental
effort by constant worry and fret, by plung-
ing in deeper than they had right to 60,
they have produced that loss OF nerv GUS en-
ergy which almost invariably expresses itself
in deranged condition of the kidneys and
liver, for it is a well known fact that the
poison which the kidneys and liver should
remove from the blood, if left therein, soon
knocks the life out of the strongest and most
vigorous man or woman. Daily building up
of these vital organs by so wonderful and
highly reputed a specific as Warmers safe
cure, is the only guarantee that our business
men can have that their strength will be
equal TO the labors daily put upon them.
Mr.. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we learn,
indicating, as we have said break down OF
nerve force His case should be n warning to
others, who, pursuing like course, will GER
tainly reach a like result.-The Sunday Her.
