Probably, if Littleton the Champion
pedestrian, knew that he had a rival in
the form OF one of our most congenial
store clerks, a challenge would be in
evidence. A few days since. he having
spent the day in Philadelphia, and on
his return trip, being. comfortably and
pleasantly seated and with All air Of as
surance that all was well, imagine the
gentlemen's chagrin to hear ''Mickleton''
called out and to find he had simply tax
en- a wrong train. What to- do he didn't
know, but concluded that he couldn't
well foot the distance between that place
and home and cover it that night, so act
ing on the advice of the conductor he
hurridly decided to go on to Swedesboro;
and then took tile stage to Auburn; and
with two bundles as large as an ordin-
airy cook stove and two pounds of ordin-
airy sausage he set out to leg it home,
reaching there without further mishap
after a three mile walk in two hours. No
wonder the gentlemen i'll question COM
plains of corns.
