A GREAT PEDESTRIAN.
1t Is not an easy matter to Judge good
pedestrian by seeing him strO,LalOng the
! streets There are few people Interested in
| sporting matters who would pick out Pro
| fessor" Nick Long IN a crowd as being a
! wonderful pedestrian; yet, Nicholas is a
| wonder. He has become manager of
| pugs, and whenever he hears Of a new Won
| der he loses no time in making himself ac-
| quantcd.
| A few days ago a report reached this city
| that a Dolly Warden" slOgger had made
! his appearance in WalsOnyille and was
| looking for engagements.
| Nick did not jump on board a train as the
! common everyday manager would do. Not
much Instead of railrOading it to the
| southern town, he hastily twisted a few
! yards Of bale-rOpe around his ankles and
| started off at brisk pace in quest of the
new aspirant to fiStic hOnOrs. When he ar
| rived at San Bruno he stopped at q house
| close to the railroad track.
| Good morning, madam" he said pleas
| antly to the woman in the front var /. Can
! you tell me how far it is from here to Wat
! sunyille? ?"
| 1t almost took her off her feet.
Three thousand four hundred and fifty
| five miles" she gasped.
THANK you kindly" he said, and walked
on with an air that was bracing enough to
kill the grip microbe in the strongest pugi-
list or pedestrian that ever donned a train
ing shoe.
Nick has got great head for business. 1t
is not long, either; on the contrary, it Is as
round as an inflated goats bladder and
contains about the same amount of brain
pulp.
