where one who rows as he does must

legs. For ne does not kick his stretch
er or shove his feet against 1t with
ANYTHING like . jerk, but he sets them
against IL and pushes with the heaviest
and mightiest force be can possibly APP
ply, as a man pushes with his legs aud
feet upon the floor when he bestrides
half ton and tries TO lift IL II he can.
This supr, N push, far more forceful
than any sudden kick could De, throws
every ounce of pressure against that
fulcrum that he can possibly impose.
Harding Is a man OF symmetrical build,
muscular without being clumsy; his
wind is coed, he has wonderful stamina
and his constitution is excellent. De is

and al the other paraphernalia must

that the case had been removed to the

After the syndicate was formed the
