The proposed walk of four and a,
quarter miles was caught up by other
cheerful and aged ones, until eleven
starters had volunteered, says Septem-
bre Outing Magazine. 1t is to be said
of them that DR.: Osler's needless re-
mark about chloroform had something
to do with the fire. of enthusiasm
which swept these. pedestrians into
their project.
The ladies had cup Of tea by way
of preliminary ceremony, and were
then persuaded to stand in column to
be photographed The man with the
camera was lad of IS, years, fifty
chosen for the task, Jeremiah Merritt
Greene, who has been making pictures
in the Middle West. for fifty years.
Then the signal was given for the
start and the eleven :entries tripped
away at a lively gait. Many of those
who followed them gave it up and
went home after few blocks because
their legs ached. Early in the pilgrim
age several of the venerable walkers
had to be held in check. It was hoped
that all of them would finish, and,
therefore, the amazing energy, of the
leaders threatened to tire out the
others. Two miles were covered as:
cheerfully as if this were: picnic
party, and there were no laggards.

She had an able partner in Mrs.

the ardor of competition famed SO
high that they started off together on
lively little trot for the nnish. It
was dead heat between the pair,
and first honors were thus divided. The
others trailed in after them in the best
of spirits, all vowing that they were by
no means exhausted. -
The actual walking time for the
party averaged one hour and forty-five
minutes for four and a quarter miles.
Every one of these old ladies is the
mother of large and sturdy family.
Their consensus of opinion concerning
their vigor in old age was. that they
had worked hard in their homes all
their lives, had never bothered their
heads about dieting," and early in life
had adopted the rule of ''early to bed
and early to rise" The average age Of
