HOW TO BECOME A RUNNER.
One of the Most HeaIthfuI Exercises a
Boy Can Take IN


One of the Most Hea1thfuI Exercises a
Boy Can Take UD
Running is one of the best of exer-
cises for the whole body. 1t rounds out
q hollow chest, drives the oxygen into
the farthest air-cells of the lungs, won
derfully increases their capacity, and
develops the leg, thigh, stomach, and
waist muscles. But it must be learned
just as skating, swimming, and bicy-
cling have to be learned, and there are
two things that must be kept in mind
by the learner. The first is-whether
in sprinting, distance, or cross-country
running-to run entirely on the ball OF
the foot, or, as they say on the track.
Get up on your toesp' By striking on
the ball of the foot, which is sort OF
natural spring-board, the runner takes
a longer stride, and the spring that he
gets enables him to lift his foot more
rapidly and repeat the stride more
quickly than the runner who goes fiat
footed. AS length and rapidity Of
stride are what give speed in running,
it follows that a fiat-footed runner can
never be a fast one. Another reason
against pounding away fat-footed is
that the delicate mechanism of the an
kle, knee, and hip is Jared and may
in time be injured. The second point
for runner to observe is his method
of breathing. Breathe through both the
nose and mouth. Nearly every boy
when he first begins to run has the in
sane idea that all the breathing must
be done through the nose. There was
never a greater mistake. When boy
runs his heart beats much faster than
it does ordinarily, and pumps out just
so much more blood. All this must
be aerated or purified by air from the
lungs. The oppression that one feels
when beginning to run is due to the
lungs demanding more air for the ex-
ira quantity of blood which the heart is
sending out. Nature has looked out
for this and provided way by which
air can be furnished to the lungs very
rapidly. It is a very simple way, and
consists of merely opening the mouth.
Breathe, then, through the nose in or
binary life as much as possible, but
when you are running or exercising
violently open the mouth and take in
air in deep, rapid breaths, lot gulp1ng
it in through the mouth alone, but let
ting the mouth and nose have each
their share.
Take as long stride as possible, but
without overbalancing the body. Bend
the body slightly from the hips; for
if it be held too erect the stride will be
| shortened. Let the bent arms swing
easily and naturally little above the
level of the hips, swinging out and back
with every stride. This keeps the mus
cles loose, prevents them from becom-
ing tired so easily as they would if
held rigid, and balances the body bet
ter. Take especial pains to keep the
| body from being stiff; let it swing
as easily and lithely as possible. In
sprinting the stride is shorter and
more rapid than in long-distance run
ming, and sprinter usually runs with
body thrown farther back, in quite diff
ferent form from the long, easy lope
CO the distance runner.-St. Nicholas.

Gave His Fishes to the Lord.

A novel proceeding for the benefit
of the Methodist church took place re-
Gently on the farm of w. T. Kenyon,
on the Ohio side of the river. He is
the owner of a fine fish pond, which
he permitted to be drained and the fish
sold for the benefit of the church. The
small boy was in his glory wading in
mud and water after the fish, of which
there was about 400 pounds. The larg-
est weighed twenty pounds They were
mostly German carp. The church real
lied about $50.

An Awful Leap from a Railway Train

An Awful Leap from RanwaF Train.
One more unfortunate human being,
''rashly importunate," came to miser-
able and dreadful end on the Virginia
Central and Ohio Railroad by ;eaping
head foremost out of the window of
the car in which he was seated. while
the train was going at the rate of 80
miles an hour over viaduct OF stone
bridge across a precipitous mountain
gorge, at the foot of which rushes a
torrent of turbid water. The mans
body was dashed violently into the mid
die of the current, which swept him
rapidly out of sight, so that, when
those who witnessed the occurrence had
stopped the train, no vestige Of him
was to be seen.

This is the greatest show
ing the STATE JOURNAL has
ever been able to make for
a period of any six months
in it's history.
This is a greater figure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for
the year 1894. The Ameri-'
can Newspaper Directory,
issued in June, 1895, and
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-
ton of the Topeka Daily
Capital for the year 1894, as
only 8.744. These figures
were furnished by the pub
fishers OF the Capital, to the
Directory, and are guaran-
teed to be correct by a for
felt of 800, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.

stantiated by sworn state

BOUND TO MARRY.
A Seda1ia, Mo-. Couple Married by Judge
Wood Last Evening.


A very nice appearing young couple
appeared at the home of Probate Judge
Wood last night at $3.50 o'clock and
wanted to get married. Everything
seemed to be all light SO far as Judge
Wood was concerned, and they were &C
eommodated.
The young woman. Miss Luella Greer,
was pretty little brunette with a sweet
face. Her age was nineteen, she said,
and she was certainly a bright little
woman. She was smartly dressed, too.
The groom was q country bred young
man with an intelligent face and gave
his age as o.
They were from near Sedalia, Mo, they
said, and gave as their reason for COM
ing so far to get married, that their par
snts opposed the match and the marriage
laws of Missouri were too hard on them
in that instance.
They went back to Missouri last night
happy ia the possession of each other
and left good fee with Judge Wood.

As a matter Of fact, the solution is
impossible. Any two odd numbers
added together make an even number,
and six odd numbers are merely three
sets of twos In other words, one odd
number added to a second odd number
makes an even, a third odd added
makes an odd, fourth added makes
an even, a fifth odd added makes an
odd and a sixth odd added makes an
even. Therefore neither 81 nor any
other odd number can be obtained by
adding together six odd numbers.

Fifteen Men Are Arrested for

HENNEssEY, Ok, Aug. 9-Last night
the house of W. NJ. Brown near Column
bia WAS burned to the ground by "a
vigilantes who recently organized to ex-
terminate the band of horse thieves who
have successfully operated in that section
of the country.
They had suspected Brown of receiv-
ing stolen horses and keeping them for
the thieves until they could be safely
taken away and yesterday they
asked Mrs Brown how many
horses there were on the place.
She said none except the pony in the
barn. A search brought five animals to
light that were all identified as having
been stolen.
AS no direct evidence of Browns hav-
ing stolen them could be found they
cOntented themselves with burning his
house and warning him to leave the
country in twenty -four hours. He went
to Kingfsher and made complaint
claiming the horses were there without
his knowledge.
County Attorney Moffitt has ordered a
full investigation before ordering any
arrests. B. F. Falls, postmaster OF Co
lumbia, said this morning that the cap
ture of Yeager was only a beginning
termined to rid this section of Oklahoma
of all OF that class of people. Another
man named Hurd has been warned to
leave the country. He is also supposed
to be in sympathy with the bandits.
