Martha Wilkes, the big daughter of
Alcyone, has gone into winter quarters
ct the residence of her owner, E. D.
Virgins of Bellington, Mase. That gen.
tleman announces that his great mare
will not be in Budd Doble's hands next
year, but will be handled by Bard Pal
mer, who was brought up by James
Golden of Boston. The reason of this
was that Mr.. Wiggins wants to have a
shy at Nancy Hanks with Martha and,
for that reason, does not desire TO have
both mares in one mans hands. As to
her having been "got at" when defeated
by the stallion Greenleaf, Mr.. Virgins
does not believe word of it. He be.
iieves the mare had not quite recovered
from recent attack of sexual complaint
and was weak in the back and loins
when she. met the stout young Kentucky
stallion. He thinks that next year che
will win more races than che loses, even
IN the hottest company. HIDALGo.

rhe walkIng Iiaplt.

The sturdy Romans aud Normani
were especially noted for the muscular
limbs which they possessed, and the
average girth of the legs was severa
inches larger than those of Americana
whose occupations are such as 10 de
mand very little leg exercise. W.
are not walking nation by aiiy NEAR
although the modern revival of athlei'
ic exercise is directing more attention
toward the development of our legs
Our forefathers of colonial days dress
ed out in knickerbocker trousers
which were just long enough to eX-
pose well developed legs below the
knee, and Dutchman of those early
days who could not present a calf
several inches larger than the average
one met with to-day would be disgrace
ed in the eyes of his comrades. Wen
developed legs were then almost as
essential as u good mind il to-day.
The decadencc in the legs extended
all through our population, and only
our athletic and circus performers can
AS rule show limbs that cali forth
our admiration. This is all accounted
tor by the general neglect of walking
one of the most healthtul exercises
that we can follow. Walking instead
of riding should be made a daily hab-
ii, especially in cities where the temp
tation to jump on car is strong. liz
should not be neglected for a single
day. 1t is more important than most
of our other business. LII the end il
will make money for us, As by saving
doctors bills it will add money to our
income. Lack of this exercise is more
at the bottom of our consti- !
tutional troubles and diseases than il
is credited with. And walking is |
largely habit, which if once con-
tracted will seem almost essential to |
our happiness.-Yankee Blade.
