From the Sherman. Tex, werwhoop.
Globe trotting has become a popular
pastfme. but 1t remained for a citizen Of
Tampa, Fla, to institute globe trundling."
People have travelled across the continent
on bicycles: others have made the trip in
OK wagons, and, recently, according to the
newspapers, men have fitted through the
air in airships, but the Florida man has
smashed all records for novelty and orig
inality in transportation. The globe
trundler. with his vehicle, made his ap-
pearance last evening at the home of A.
b. Richardson, a market gardener. living
near Sherman. The stranger, who pro-
PEELED a wheelbarrow in the good old way,
was a Mr.. Harris. late of Tampa, Fla.
The wheelbarrow contained cooking uten-
sils, a change of raiment and other arti-
cles necessary to a small degree of COM
fort, besides two children, girl of eleven
and a girl of seven. Harris secured lodg-
ing for the night with Richardson and.
while there, he said he was On MS way to
Oregon and he had left Tampa late last win
ter. The children trudge along with their
father and. when their little legs grow
weary, they are given a lift in the bar
row. This queer company of emigrants
went their way this morning before pho
tographs could be obtained Of them and
their humble conveyance, but the man
who has the courage to cross the conti-
nent with mis- family in a wheelbarrow
will certainly become well known before he
reaches the end of his long journey.

From this broad. level way
You have seen them, doubt,
For you pass them each day
That lead to Somewhere,
Tint glorious place,
So distant, fair
Like q mirage In space!
But these pathways. you say.
Are stony and steep.
And the broad, level way
Is 80 easy to keep.
You have heard Of Somewhere,
And you'd like to go there

That was easy and wound
In smooth, broad course that led on around

Peopled by only immortals. and where
There ID honor for each that, at last, gets there!
All! there is no way that is level and broad

And no man yet who has only trod

Has ever succeeded In getting there!
