ON LIFE'S JOURNEY.
Average Man walks Many Thousand
Miles Before HIS End.

Average Man walks Many Thousand
Miles Before HIS End.
How many miles a man walks in his
lifetime depends. naturally, upon how
much he walks day on the average;
hut the man who walks the least COW
ers q vast number OF miles before he
dies. Some men walk two miles a day,
some four or hve, and some as many
as ten. II man walks two miles \
day and lives to be thirty years old he
will cover 2l 300 miles. At the same
age a man who walks three miles a
day will have walked 80, $50 miles. AL
most every man walks between two
and three miles day just in going
about the house, the office, the shop,
and in going to and from the cars.
etc.
A man who walks Ave miles a day
finds that at the age OF 80 he has COW
cred 81, 750 miles and at the age of 80.
1925 From this should strictly
speaking be subtracted the few months
or year when he was a baby unable
to walk, but the result would not be
affected materially.
Now, the circumference of the earth
at the equator is only 24.S99 miles. 50
therefore a man who at the age OF 60
has averaged FIVE miles a day since he
was able TO walk has walked enough
miles to have enclrcled the earth four
times ana have a good many miles l,ft
over toward the fifth lap.-New Yo X

From the gusty nlckerlng gunroll with

When ye are ringsd as with Iron. when ys

A Geographical Novelty.

The point where Utah, Colorado. Ari'
zona and New Mexico touch each other
is called the four corners. This fact is
not a strange one, but when we come
to find that is the only place where
four states or territories point, we find
that this spot is in some ways unique
one. Not only is this the only place in
the United States where such a juno
tion occurs, but 1t is the only one of its
kind In the world. This statement
seems a broad one, but short study Of
the maps of an atlas will show that 1t
Is correct, and. more than that, that at
no other place in the United States do
more than two state corners touch each
other.

Republican, only the custom houses,
so that enough of the revenues may be
collected to satisfy the claims of the
revenues are the only resources of the
Venezuelan Government; and the
great English dramatist, centuries ago,
exactly defined the status of the case,
in the lines IN which he said
That which is of my house the prop

The same pretence was alleged by
England when, for the value of few
pieces of carpet, she assumed the pro-
tectorate of Greece against The Porte;
yet, few years later, she was arrayed
on the side of Mahomedan Turkey
against Christian Russia. Her posi-.
ton now, as then, is that of the bully
and hypocrite of the nations; but
though contest between her and
weak Venezuela would seem to be as
unequal as fight between a sparrow

shape that the alliance of the German
Kaiser will avail him nothing.-Ex.

Piece Of Paper Repre-
sented Great Sum.
Transfer Of Big Consolidated to
New Owners.

The Cleveland Electric syndicate
bought the Everett Moore holdings in
the Big Consolidated Street Railway,
the directors elected Horace u. An
drcws president of the company, and
Mr. Andrews took charge, all within
two hours Saturday forenoon.
Horace T.. Andrews. as manager of
The Cleveland Electric syndicate,

that was over written in the city of
cleveland, Saturday morning, 1t was
rog %5i5,00o. and represents the Ev-
crcu -More holdings in the Big Con
solidatcd street Railway property.
The payment Of this large sum of
money was the direct result Of the
agreement that was effected some
time ago between tho Andrews stan
mittec, having in charge the affairs Of
the Everett Moore syndicate, whereby
the committe is relieved of this respon-
sibility and the new duties are as
sumcd, very willingly, by the Clcve-
land Electric syndicate.
mittee turned over $4,000 shares of the
Big Consolidated stock. The stock
was sold ut $50 n share. The total
amount would therefore he S3,ii0,000.
The committc also sold 1000 shares of
Little Consolidated stock The Little
| Consolidated stock brought $l0o n
share. This amounted TO $lO5O0O.
This was included In the check and
made total of $3,5i5,O0O.
The actual transfer of the money
and the stock and the writing of the
receipts for the stock by Mr., Mutt con.
suned about five minutes time, but
was doubtless one of the very largest
financial transactions In not only the
history of Cleveland but the state of
Ohio.
At noon the directors of the Big
Consolidated held their meeting and
elected president and secretary
These two places were vacant owing
to the resignation of Henry Everett
as president, and Charles W. Wason
