A LEAPING SWORD.
Large Open Lot Good Place to Practice
the Trick.

Large Open Lot Good Place to Practice
the Trick.
"Of all the cities | have visited in
Europe" said r. A. Stinson, of Boston,
recently to the New York Tribune man,
II found Madrid one of the most inter-
esting. 1t has a number Of out-of-the-
way features that appeal to one.
While was in Madrid tried to pur-
chase one Of the famous Toledo blades.
The old-fashioned two-handled sword
was what wanted to get. one of those
that were built to cut through armor
and which fulfilled their mission COM
pletely, as many bloody battlefield In
ye ancient days bore testimony.
/. Il had to give it up on account of the
expense. They cost from $3.50 up, but
while was looking for one a shopkeep-
er showed me most scientific trick.
His store was very lofty, running up
two or three stories. and he was deScant-
ing on the beauties of this particular
sword, when, in order to prove the per-
feet temper of the metal. he drove the
point into the floor and bent the blade
until nit ana point met. lie then sud-
denly released the hilt and that six feet
of cleaning sword sprang up into the
air like a thing alive. Up and up it
went, almost to the lofty ceiling itself,
when it lost its impetus and began irs
descent, hilt first. 1t returned almost
to the place whence it started, the shop
keeper catching it by the hilt with prac-
ticed ease and returning it to its case
II was crazy to try it myself, but the
owner refused to allow me, as he said
would probably not only wreck the
store, but perhaps injure myself as
well. He told me that If wanted to
learn the trick had better practice in
large open lot and that suit Of armor
wouldn't be bad thing to wear until l
got the hang Of It,"

Walking, as form of exercise, Is
growing in favor. OF all forms it
gives, perhaps, the best results with the
least interference with mental activity.
Exercise that builds up large lunches
of muscle, for which brain workers
have no use, is time largely wasted
And so the best and cheapest form of
exercise, walking, Is coming into favor
And no one can beg off from 1t on any
plea except physical laziness. With n
cheerful habit of mind, cultivated in
connection with walking, there is with
In everyone's reach the best sort Of ex-
ercise to keep the whole system in best
condition.

M'kINLEY AS A PEDESTRIAN.
President Takes Long Walks to Over

President Takes Long Walks to Over
come Tendency to Corpulency.
President Mckinley, who is now "a
years of age, has taken up pedes-
trianism. Every day for weeks he
has taken long walks as the best medi-
cine to overcome tendency to short
ness Of breath and corpulency.
1t Is interesting. says a correspon-
dent, to watch the President on these
walks. He goes at the pace of de-
termined man, not a stroller One of
his feet Is thrown well out ahead of
him to make sure of long stride, and
the other foot Is bent between the ball
and the heel, as Is the fashion with the
long gdistance walkers. The stiff-footed
man is the man who can walk only a
short distance, but the man with the
supple feet can keep a good pace for a
long time.
The President observes all the laws

May as Dewey Day by legislative

The Trayeler,s Plata

Connoisseurs of china are invited TO
sympathiZe with an Indianapolis wom-
an who, says the Sentinel, bought in
Dresden a plate that she would not
have parted with for several times its
price.
She dared not trust the plate in her
trunk, or even in her satchel, but had it
carefully wrapped and tied and carried
1t about in her hand. She guarded that
plate as If 1t were made Of diamonds.
She carried 1t all over Europe, down
the Rhine and through Germany,
through France, Italy and the British
Isles. She had 1t in her hand when she
landed in the Union Station at Indian
apolis, and kept hold of 1t, "just for
luck" till she reached her house.
There" she said, "thank goodness
I've brought that thing home unbrok.
env' And forthwith she set the pre-
cious plate down so hard on the marble
topped table that It broke into twenty
eight pieces.

She rushed to where her daughters,

respectively, were asleep and rousing

halls to the street. where they were
taken in charge by others. Then know
ing that her 3-year-oldb boy, Herbert. was
with his nurse on the third floor, Mrs.
Pulitzer fought her way through the
sitting smoke to the nurses room. She
arrived in the nick Of time; for the
nurse, crazed with fear, was about
jumping out Of the window with the
baby when Mrs. Pulitzer arrived. Mrs
Pulitzer eagerly seized the little one
and carrying him in her arms guided
the nurse through the binding smoke

Is no reason to anticipate an increase in
the demand. Therefore a much larger
output will pull down the price consid.
erably. The farmers are warned also
that while broomcorn Is a close relative
Of Indian corn, f1ourishes on the same
soil, and needs much the same kind Of
cultivation, the crop is a precarious
one, and the business requires a special
outfit of tools and sheds costing from
$500 to $1,000, which are of little value
for other purposes. The director says
also that the present high prices were
not realized by the grower, nor could
they be established until the crop was
practically out of his hands. Exper.
enced growers have often made fair
profits. Sometimes, however, they
have received only $50 ton for what
1t cost them $50 ton to produce.
Farmers will do we'll to heed the advice
given them, and not rush headlong into
the broomcorn industry because few
men did so well at it last year.
