Readers have you ever considered the
number of miles in day, week, a month
or yearP Mr. Gilpin Robinson, we'll
known to nearly every person in city, keeps
an account by the means of n chronometor
which hangs in the inside of one of his
vest pockets. He is just as particular with
his chronometer as he is of his watch, that
keeps the time of day. On being asked by
n representative Of tho REPUBLICAN, how
many miles he had walked during last
year, Mr.. r replied that "twenty-one
hundred miles was the extent of his pedal

be able to run the number Of milea up to
twenty-five hundred. He has already
walked nineteen hundred miles. This is a
pretty good distance when Mr.. Rs age is
taken into consideration.
