WALKED 5000 MILES IN YEAR.
Businessman Who Performed the Fes
NaaiIv

Businessman Who Performed the Feat
Easily.
On Jan. /, 1908, conceived the idea
of walking 5000 miles before the ex-
piration Of the year, says writer in
Outing. The object was not to achieve
any unusual feat nor to accomplish any
conspicuous performance. The under
lying motive was, rather, to insure a
plan by which regular and systematic
exercise could be obtained.
To travel this distance it was neces-
sary to cover an average of II miles
a day. Now, IA miles for days walk
Is we'll within the compass of the ordi-
nary man. But an occasional walk Of
this length is one thing, the sustained
effort, day after day. through the year,
Ii another.
Let ME answer the question by say
ing that at the end Of the year I had
completed a distance on foot Of 6,2OS
miles, a daily average of IAN miles,
The stipulated 5000 miles were I'M
iehed on Dec. 16, but an additional zoe
miles were covered in order that each
of the 81 weeks Of the year might
claim an average distance traversed Of
100 miles.
l set out upon my enterprise with the
knowledge that it was incumbent upor
me to maintain a daily average OF Il
miles, and made 1t rule, when prac
ticable. of keeping about the average
70 an to have something In hand K
meet the emergencies which were al
most certain to arise. That they dix
arise was shown by the fact that To-
is days in the year, owing to sick
ness, lameness and railway travelling
no walking whatever could be indulget
in. The inability to utilize these Il
days was equal to loss Of over 2O'
miles. It will, therefore, be seen that
under the circumstances named, 1t wa
imperative on many occasions, to ex
coed the distance of a miles a da.
in order to preserve the average.
At the beginning Of my walk m,
weight was 1872 pounds in stree
clothes, while at the end Of 1t m
weight was 178 pounds. This loss o
IA pounds was in every way accepta
BILE. The avoirdupois lost was only re
dundant weight, and felt as result
more active, stronger and harder. L
the matter of health, felt decided
better than l had done for Severa
years.

commissioned first lieutenant in the
Fourth Illinois Regiment, which he ac-
companied to Mexico. He was pres
emit at the siege of Cerro Gordo and
that of the City of Mexico, disting-
gushing himself upon both of these
occasions.
In 1850 Oglesby was elected to the
State Senate, but resigned to enter &C
tive service in the Union army. He
commanded a brigade at the capture IF
Fort Henry and Of Fort Donelson, and
was promoted to brigadier general for
valiant action on these occasions. AT
Corinth he was severely wounded in
battle.
In 1884 he was elected governor of
Illinois. 1t was during his term Of of.
fee that the close Of the war threw
the State into the most disorganized
condition. Thousands Of duties de
volved upon the governor that were
outside the regular routine, but Ogles
by met all Of them ably. He served as
governor until 1872 and was United
States Senator from 1873 till 1870, de
cltning a denomination.

4 SPLENDID PERFORMANCE
The Warde-Kidder Co. in Its Presen-
 tatiOn of SalammbO.

SaIammbo. seen at the Hardwlck theater last night for the first time in Phoenix. was a dramatic feast for those who were familiar with the play and was even more than that for those who witnessed the production for the first time. To them it was both a feast and revelation.
 IL was not the first visit to Phoc- nix of Mir Warde and Miss kidder and it is sincerely to be hoped that it will not be the last, for productions of such a high order of merit are all too few in any country and deplOrably infrequent in the southwest. Their for mer visits to Phoenix have been all most exclusively in Shakespeareau roles until their names have become associated entirely with the works of the worlds greatest playwright But in. Salammbo there is a field for their talents that equals the opportunities of Shakespeare's greatest plays and in no instance do these stellar lights fail to make the best of them. The story is one of the ruling passion and it's ebb and flow could not be more strongly depicted by the conjured scenes of the most gifted imagination. than in this fiction into which is woven just enough of the historical to leave the impress sion of realism and to carry the sen timents of an enraptured audience through all the vicissituGes of it's chief actors. Hanging upon the delicate thread of a savage chieftan's love. was the fate of a city and the jeopardy of the honor of it's foremost woman, made necessary by the blind faith of a semi civilized people in it's idoIatrous wor- ship that demanded the lives of iunO- cent children in sacrifice to the wrath of it's deviI-gods, Arraycd against the dictates of that passion that swayed Matho, a physical giant, like nutter- ing leaves in a tempest, were all the political wrongs of his people the con spiracies to thwart his enterprise for vengeance and the fate that made his chief desire a central figure in the cOunci of the enemy. Such Is the setting in which is woven a love story in itself intensely interesting and TO- mantle. multiplied a thousand fold by the feeling that the material fate of thousands depended upon the action of the principals in the little heart dra- ma.
 For love of SaIammbo, Matho, the

TevOlutionist. stole the sacred veil from the temple of Noloch. the Carthagen- ian god. Its restoration was possible alone to SalammbO, who, true to her people, jeopardized her honor but res Cucd one and saved the other, only through the real manhood of Matho, which was eventually demonstrated and viadicated, however. at the cost of both their lives. And therein lies the real interest of the story. for un- like the silly novel the chief chGrac- ter5 did not Hive happy ever after" but gave their lives as forfeit for their love and their devotion to their peo- ples.
 Though the chief interest centers around the two characters named, there are several who appear in i'm portant roles and numerous minor parts. all of which are well cast in the company. making it a dramatic or ganizatiOn Of great strength and the play one in which there is interesting dialogue, even when the leading figures are absent from the stage. About the only comedy that appears is an occa- siOnal sally by Master Walter BUrris, who plays the part Of the boy Hanni- bal, brother of SalammbO. and who, though small. ofttimes shows himself to be wise for his years in divining the undernow of the current of hu- man thought. In consequence thereof he sometimes tipped the hand in the love making.
 Mir. Wardc is said by those who have seen him before in the same uroduc- ton, to have appeared better last night than usual, especially after the first act, and in nearly all of the five acts | l1g mi climax. Miss Kidder found ample room for all her resources as an emo uonal actress. when forced to the is sue between duty and honor. up on her resolution to rescue the veil again in the tent scene and finally in the closing climax where both were seen to the best advantage

MUSIC AS 4 PROFESSION.

Unless a man is rich he ought to be regarded as a criminal if he permits his sons or daughters to become musicians. In the musical profession there are a few prizes not of the largest, but for the largest number of interpretative artists the life is one of drudgery-the drudgery of learning, the drudgery of pushing ones self into notice, and after all the continued drudgery of playing and singing just the music the public wants. I recommend no one to enter such a profession unless he or she loves music to such a degree that the drudgery is a pIeasure.-Saturday Review.
