It Was Very Quiet.

Every gentleman should attend a
gymnasium and boxing school. The
exercises not only bring out the
muscle, but give one confidence in
himself in case Of trouble. an ex-
ample was noticed the other day in
an alley of Howard street. The
owner of a residence happened out in
the alley just as an ash gathereF was
stealing a barrel. He was read a
brief lecture and warned to move on,
but he didn't take kindly to the ad-
vice
What you need is a good pound

away.
And who'll giveit t4me?'' shouted
ashes.
The alley was deserted, and the
gentleman beckOned the man into
the barn. He was willing to 90.
Both pulled of their coats, signified
that they were ready, and then bust
ness began. The gent landed two
beautiful ones In rapid succession,
and then ashes changed his tactics.
He went in right and left, as if charg-
ing a cornfeld, knocked the gent into
a vacant stall, stepped all over him
for lew minutes, and then picked
him up and heaVed him INTO the oat

his annoyance known.
Twenty-Five years ago an American
doctor Of divinity, being about to
visit London and not knowing any
one there, directed his family to write
to him to the care of a distinguished
clergyman of the city.
Though the American was not per
sOnallY acquainted with the English
man, he thought he might take that
liberty with a brother clergyman
who belonged to the church Of which
he was a member. An interview sent

An American gentleman once gave

letter, upon calling, met the English
man on his own dOOr-steps. and

the remark: EEThis man has no RIGHT

he turned to the bearer and said
that he was glad to make his ac-

thereafter treated him with as much

What a champion walker Advises

Walking is one of the most severe
Of all the athletic exercises. Al the
muscles in the whole body are brought
into play in walking, and if there is a
weak spot anywhere twill befound in
the race. For a walking race of from
one to five miles speed is the chief
thing to obtain, and to do this is a
very severe course of training has to
be gone through. A man must be in
prime condition, and must be able to
move quickly for a short race. The
strain on the walker is very severe,
and in walking a short distance the
body, arms and legs are all used
TO help the pedestrian along. To
walk well the body should be kept In
an upright position and the head
thrown back. The arms should be
kept well to the sides, and by using
them with each stride they viii great
ly aid the walker. The stride should
be Of ordinary length, and should be
taken firmly and with the heel well
down.
To learn to walk fairly is the first
thing to learn and then speed can be
acquired afterward. For q long dis
tance race endurance is what is most
wanted. The manWhO can Jog round
the track hour after hour at an easy
gait will accomplish more than the
man who runs a few miles at a rapid
pace and then takes a long rest. A
long and careful training is necessary
to be able to compete successfully in
4 six days race. First of all, the con-
5estant should be ia good health.
Then he must get of unnecessary
flesh, and then good exercise must
be taken to develop all the muscles.
[ take exercise as much as possible in
the open air, but when the weather is
3OJl or wet the work should all be
dome under cover. For food I take
almost everything thatisnourishing,
carefully avoiding anything that [
ind is hard to digest. During the
race I live on such light things as
chicken, cUstard, jellies and beef tea.
[ do all n4y training early ia the
morning, rising with the sun
and retiring soon afterit has set.

position, however, got him into

a request for some one to inspect the
cavalry horses which were being

that purpose Here they were In

ment. He soon demonstrated his
ability to fill it, and his career in the
service Is too well known to repeat
