Long Distance Running.
al6 e. PASo ST.


1t is true that the Greek soldier who
ran all the way from Marathon to
Athens to bear the news of victory and
dropped dead when he had delivered
the message had covered only twenty
six miles, yet he may have been worn
with lighting when he started, says q
writer in May Lippincott's.
On the other hand, Deerfoot, the In
dian runner of the Csttaraugus reser-
vatlon, who once held the record in
England and America, ran twelve
miles in tfty-siX minutes in London in
1861, and extraordinary stories of his
long distance running are told. Capt
ain Barclay, of England, walked q
thousand miles in q thousand hours,
and w. s. George, the worlds great
est amateur distance runner, followed
the hounds on foot. Henry Schmel, in
June, 1894, walked from Sp Ingfivld,
Ill, to Chicago, 1888 miles, in sixLy-nine
hours and fifty minutes. In 1892
Schneldeit, an Austrian printer, find

walked all the way home from his ma

lor two years across India, Afghapis-
tan, Persia, Turkey, Southern r ssia,
bulgaria, Roumania and Hungary, and
thence into Austria.
But these instances, which might be
multiplied, are for the most part feats
accomplished under special conditions
or stress of circumstances or by picked
men. In Apache land every Indian is
a runner, asking no odds of earth or
weather; and whether it be the peace

A new bed is needed in the city
