How far will a mans feet carry

rather an interesting question:" said
the man who dabbles in figures, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. AT
the ordinary speed Of walking, suppos
ing one could keep it up for that length
of time, a man would cover probably
seventy miles.
my attention being called to the
fact that some of the natives of the
Far East make as much as tifty-seven
miles in day drawing vehicles behind
them, it was commented on that thiA
seemed to be an extraordinary feat
If one will take into consideration,
however the fact that these men are,
as rule, Injured to this sort of thing
trained to the very pitch, as it were
it will not seem so remarkable. In the
Boer war there were some of Lord
Roberts men who marched nearly for
ty miles, and they were novlces, com
paratively speaking, at the game.
This was over a rough, rugged
country with which they were barely
familiar and at gait with all running
eliminated. They carried arms. am
munition and a blanket in addition to
rations. Make comparison-a soldier
in uniform with a lightly clad native;
the wild veldt with a track or road

jinricksha and its contents; the soldier

CURRENCY Is INSURED
Sender Now Protected Against Los
When He Ships Money.

Sender Now Protected Against LosA
When He Ships Money.
Money Is now sent everywhere in
single packages containing $4,000 or
less, under policies of insurance pro-
tecting the owners against every pos
sible hazard, at rates varying from 10
to 80 cents per $1,000 of currency in
sured. Most Of the notes are S., $40
and 500 denominations, besides sup
plies Of 81 and So for use as "hand-to-
hand money" for crop movement pur-
poses.
These transfers go to all sections Of
the United States. Canada, Great Brit
ain and to continental points, says the
New York Post. The business has now
grown to large proportions and is writ,
ten by some of the strongest Insurance
companies in Europe and America.
One very interesting claim paid few
days ago was for the loss of parcel
containing $2,7OO in bank notes ship
ped through the mails by a Canadian
institution. The destination was a
small postoff1ce, where the business
was so light that the postmaster, not
having the use of a safe in which to
store valuables, was forced to take
home every night unde.ivered register
ed mail that arrived during the day.
The package of bank notes was taken
| out of the office in this way, and just
before the postmaster reached home he
was attacked by footpads and relieved
Of the money. The loss was immedi-
ately reported and the insurance COM
pany at once reimbursed the institu-
ton, at the same time Offering $500 re-
| ward for the detection Of the thief.
The case has not been cleared up yet
Packages containing $4,000 Of in
| sured bank notes were on the train
that went through bridge in South
ern State last winter. New York I'M
| derwriters were much concerned over
the incident until they discovered that
the car in which the insured packages
were stored remained safe on the
! rails. The largest single risk ever writ
ten was taken in England some time
ago, when one package containing $780,
100000 was insured.

line, regarding his clerical white tie
in the mantel glass complacently for
moment, land have no doubt but she
will"
Then Mr.. Starline put on his best hat
and his best gloves, took in his hand
the gold-headed cane presented to him
by his congregation, and set out in the
direction of Miss Witherly's cottage,
having quite resolved to waste no more
time about it, but to propose at once.
All! could Cansaida have known 1t,
nothing would have delighted her
more. For two years she had made
the capture of Mr.. Starline, his big
parsonage, his snug little income, and
the honor of the title Of minister's
wife the object Of her soul. With this
hope she had devoted herself to church
work, to the aged poor In the Home,
to the little orphans and to the poor
generally. She had given flowers at
Easter, and twined evergreens at
Christmas, till her hands were full Of
briars, and oh! how she had listened
to the sermons Mr.. Starline preached,
and borrowed them for private perusal,
and wept over the affecting parts, and
had striven not to smile, oh, so very
hard. because 1t was in church you
know, when he grew witty.
Just at the time he took his evening
walk it had often happened that she
was hurrying up the road with a jar
of Jelly for sick person or tract for
wicked one. No one could guess
how hard she had worked to gain her
point. and now-just as Mr.. Starline
had made up his mind-poor Miss
Witherly began to despair. She had
wasted two years upon clergyman
which she might have spent more
nrofitably, for she had driven from her
a very respectable farmer with serious
intensions, and he had married some
one else.
This morning a false report that Mr..
starline was counting Rosa Rhuparo'
the doctors daughter, had reacf ed her.
and she was very cross. Moreover, her
dear crony, the Widow Lane, had come
IN stay all day. Every woman has one
crony in the world before whom she
plays no part. Over late lunch, Miss
Witherly was talking to Mrs. Lane as
che talked to no one else, whe~ the
clergyman arrived, and new servant,
who was not acquainted with the gen.
t,eman, thus announced him:
"a man wants you, Miss Witherly'
"Old Hopper, suppose" said Miss
vitherly, 81 promised to send his wife
some clothes; put him anywhere Jane
ont of the way until can eat my
lunch. for l don't disturb myself for
any ore to-day"
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-08-27

And Jane, returning to Mr.. Starline,
escorted him to the parlor, where every
word that was spoken in the dining
room was plainly audible.
The clergyman seated himself In the
largest armchair, which was near the
communicating door, and folded his
hands and waited. He was composing
an ornate proposition. He had got as
far as: MY dear and respected Miss
Witherly, you may have remarked"
when suddenly a sharp voice smote his
ear with these words, "Old Starline."
Old Starline! He could scarcely be-
lieve hissears. Involuntarily he leaned
a little nearer the door and heard the
words repeated.
ut must be some one else Of the
same name. I'm not DID," said Mr..
Starline.
Its nobody's business, I'm sure"
Said Miss Witherly.
But they said So" replied Mrs.
Lane.
Il wonder what they said?" asked
Mr.. Starline of nobody.
"And you've been SO active in
church," said Mrs. Lane.
I'm sick of the church," said Miss
Witherly. Il never will again If 1 get

The clergyman groaned softly.
