engagement. The successful Wooer is
the eloquent boy orator of the Wa

'In the foot races Of the ancient
Greeks" says writer, 1.-The shape of
the stadium caused a great difference,
since it was not circular, but long and
narrow, with one or both ends semicir-
cular. Consequently the runners had
to take sharp turn at the end of each
lap, while except at the turn they were
running straight course. Evidently
this turn needed much practice, for the
pictures on the old vases show athletes
practicing this one part Of the race as
kind of drill, taking each movement
separately.
I'm early times, when all the runners
turned round the same post, the turn
gave opportunities for foul play, and
there are stories of one competitor trip.
ping another at the post or selling him
by the hair to prevent his winning.
But later, in the shorter distances at
least, each runner had his own track
and post to turn round. and probably
the separate courses were roped off in
mucn the same way as they are now
in sprint races. For the start elaborate
arrangements were made and at Olym
pia the stone slabs are still to be seen,
with the grooves at regular intervals
that had to be toed at starting.
'Greek long distance men ran in the
most approved style of the present
day. But the sprinters apparently EN-.

action and took very long steps, rising
well on to the toes. Then there was the

wanted. She inquired the price and
was told $4,000. She gave her check
for $1,000, saying she would send her

jeweler was to tell him they cost only
5000. The storekeeper was familiar
with that sort of game and agreed.
The husband came to see the pearls,
and that evening told his wife he had
bought them. His wife delightedly
asked If he had brought home the COL
