horses attached, and he makes speeches
and delivers tracts wherever a crowd can
be gathered. In answer to an interviewer
he recently gave this account:
1--WE went at very easy pace-not more
than two and a half miles an hour-and
when we came to a hamlet or village, or to
a group of men working in the fields, we
stopped and talked to them and distributed
our literature. We always had a good
stock of leaflets dealing with various sub
jects, which we assorted on the way. An
extra man whom we had occasionally to
help us with the distribution gave us some
amusement. One day on nearing a village
! called out, Now, Bill, where are those
packets for | had instructed him to ar
range them for us. They were not to be

on the coast of Northumberland. Her
