For Exercise why Not Wa

For Exercise why Not Wallxf
The best exercise In the world Is
walking.
A person who knows how to walk in
teligently can get along without a
gymnasium. No other form of exercise
brings so many muscles into play and
develops them SO normally. The most
popular games are those In which
walking forms prominent part. Golf,
croquet and In sense cricket and even
bicycling merely give an excuse for
walking.
Every one knows how to walk prop
erly. 1t Is because of carelessness that
so many walk badly. The body should
be carried erect. the chest well out, the
head back, while the arms should
swing freely at the sides. The pace
should be regulated to ones strength
Every one should walk fast enough
and far enough to get the body in a
comfortable glow. To get the best re-
suits from walking one should give his
undivided attention to 1t. In other
words, he should walk for the pleasure
of 1t and not carry worries with him.
Excessive walking is Injurious. New
er walk just after n heavy meal or aft
ter violent exercise. And after walk
1t Is well to rest for 10 or Is minutes
before taking up severe mental work.

Ing. Then came the public spasm OF
virtue which caused the John Oak
bursts and the '.outcasts OF Poker Flat"
to DEPART from thence and die of cold
and starvation ON the snow bound road
to Sandy Bar. There are no oak
bursts" nor Uncle Billys" in Poker
Flat today. and when the stranger
makes the slow descent and suddenly
by a sharp turn In the trail comes upon
the famous camp he finds in that hud-
die of cabins little to remind him OF the
Poker Flat of 1852.
The famous slope presents almost q
picture of utter ruin. There are but
eight persons living In the old town,
while a hundred dead ones sleep in the
cemetery. Some of the graves are
marked with wooden headboards, some
with stakes. but many have nothing
above them. Nearly all of them were
laid to rest without religious rites save
a Bible reading by old Charlie Pond,
who, though professional gambler,
was selected for the religious office
owing to bis excellent voice and ora
torical ability.
In 1853 and 1854 there were 1000
souls In Poker Flat and 10 stores, 5 no.
tells, 8 dance halls and gambling
houses. There Is but one man left to-
day Of that original company. He is an
old and grizzled veteran, who delights
to tell how In 1856 a circus came to
town and sold 1900 tickets of admis-
sion at $50 each.-W. NJ. Clemens In

Where the One-Legged Buy Shoes.
When they do not patronize custom
shoemaker. the one-legged man or
woman buys his or her shoes precisely
like the two-legged person, at the
ready-made shoe store. the proprietor
of which, with an eye to business, Is
usually willing to break pair to sell
the single right or left shoe that the
one-legged customer requires. The
single shoe remaining Is sent back to
the factory to be matched up, and this
Is done with perfect accuracy. Every
pair of shoes Is numbered, and 1t could
easily, IL 1t were desired, be traced
back to the stock from which 1t Is
made. There is no guesswork about 1t.
The shoe required to mate the shoe re-
naming may not be made on the iden-
teal last upon which the original shoe
was made, but 1t is made upon last
of mathematically the same proper
lions, and the pair thus restored is as
perfectly mated as the original pair.

THE PIANO AT IT'S BEST.
Four Times IA Year None Too Often

Four Times Year None Too OFTEN

piano tuner, "who let their pianos so

and in some cases pianos thus neglect

but piano should be tuned every three

to get out of tune again at once after
1t has been tuned. How could 1t be

difference would at first be so slight as
scarcely to be perceptible to any but
the practced and sensitive ear of an
expert tuner. but it is there. Doesn't a
clock begin to run down as soon as 1t Is
wound up? -Four times year piano
ought to be tuned. but only compara-
lively small percentage of people give
their pianos that attention which is
needed to keep them In their most per-
feet loneliness of tone. Piano makers
and dealers of course are looking after
the tuning of their pianos In stock
scrupulously aud carefully all the time.
You don't hear pianos out of tune In q
piano waferoom. They never let them
get out of tune there. They aim. In
fact. at keeping them as near perfec.
ton as they can.
I'VE are pretty sure to find In every
new niano something pleasing and at

pleasing quality comes from its being
