WESTON SPRY
AS A BOY

springy as the average youngster. that
grand old man of the tanbark track.
Major Edward Payson Weston, looked
fit as q two-year-old the other evening
as he dressed for dinner in his room in
the Fifth Avenue hotel at New ~ ork
and chatted of his hundred mile walk
from Philadelphia TO New York, fin

New York Press. II there was any
chirpier old man in the metropolis he
was under cover. Major Weston, in
stead of being as weary as even old
associates expected to find him. SEEM

a moments notice and certainly could
have outwalked any man among his
callers, though most ,of them were
younger than he by many years. He
Is sixty-eight years old and has been
pedestrian since 1867
Walking, he asserts. is a remedy for
most of the ills flesh gets by inherit
ance or otherwise, and If adopted gen
orally would be sure preventive of
suicide. He is a walker of the heel
and toe school and has u long record
of six day races and other endurance
tests The major walked 5000 miles
In 100 days twenty-five years ago In
England, and the Church Temperance
society paid him $4,000 for demon
strating by that feat what temper
ate man could do. He always has re-
fused to take stimulants to increase
his speed or staying power, and he
thinks he Is reaping the benefit of his
abstemiousness in the shape of a green
old age.
Major Weston had hard time for
seven miles of the 100 owing to the
intense heat, but thirty-five minutes
sleep in New Brunswick made him all
right again, and. as he says, he sim
ply frolicked the rest of the way"
Physicians accompanied him through
out the trip and weighed his food.
DIR. Osler was not one of them. They
were making a test of the effect OF
certain foods on human endurance, not

preparation, for the gallant veteran

Before publishing this, however, he
wrote a civil war story, Manassas"

the other two never have appeared.
Manassas" was a success in a small
way, the first real one the boy author

pose the trusts, and some OF the beef

Harvey went to Paris few years
ago. His fame had preceded him, and
he found many Americans there who
knew about his skill in making good
things to eat. His friends proclaimed
that Harvey could make u better salad
dressing than any cook France ever
saw. The Frenchmen disputed it. In
Jig time a salad dressing contest was
arranged between Harvey and two
Partisan epicures, each of whom
thought he had mastered all there was
TO know about salad dressing.
The contest came off In a restaurant.
The three competitors called for the
ingredients they wished and mixed
their salads and then made their dress
ings. There was q large number OF
spectators, and the excitement was in
tense. Just before the mixers passed
their salads over TO the judges Harvey
took a small leather case out OF his
pocket. picked out a little bottle un-
corked 1t and let a drop or two OF a
colorless liquid fall on the salad. Then
be put the bottle back In his pocket,
handed in his salad and waited for the
verdict
The judges tasted and tried and COM

mously decided that Harvey's salad
won the prize not because it was in
trinsically better than the salads OF the
Frenchman, but because the mysteri-

bottle added a strange, indefnable aro-

Miss Lucy z. Ernst of Philadelphia
Is officially a heroine. She has been
awarded a Carnegie medal for saving
the life of her companion. Harry L
Schoenhut, also of Philadelphia. at the
risk of her own by sucking the poison
from a rattlesnake's bite on his arm,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The ''hero commission in session the
other day in Pittsburg formally award
ed the medal to the pretty young wo-
man and prepared a formal acknowl-
edgment of her remarkable bravery.
When told that she had been honored
by the Carnegie commission Miss Ernst
said:
I'VE were walking in a grove near
the clubhouse at Porter's lake last sum-
mer searching for birch bark. Mr..
SchOenhut, who was a short distance
In front of me, staggered and fell. A
rattlesnake had bitten his right arm.
I cut away his sleeve. but the arm was
already black, and a large sac had
formed. I tried to suck the blood, but
it wouldn't flow, SO 1 cut his arm with
out. He wiggled so that 1 swallowed
mouthful myself. l succeeded in
getting him to the clubhouse, where l
gave him nearly a quart of whisky.
He was all right in a few days, but I
was Ill a week because of the poison
1 had swallowed. My lip was cut at
the time, and the doctors cannot un-
derstand why / was not poisoned.
1 did not see the snake myself, but
Mr. SchOenhut said 1t was a big one.
He heard the rattle. but thought it was
a locust. 1 am glad 1 did it, for the
doctors said he certainly would have
died.
Mr.. Schoenhut is the siXteen-year-old
son of Albert Scboenhut of Philadel-
phia. Miss Ernst is the only daughter
of Bernard Ernst. select councilman.

RAISING GOATS FOR POOR.

Milk at Lowest Cost.

Chicago woman's Pan of Furnishing e
Milk at Lowest Cost.
To develop an American milk goat
that will be to the poor and TO the
farmers what similar animals are to
the people of Switzerland and Spain is
the fad which Mrs. Edward ROby of
South Chicago is pursuing, says a spe-
ciaI dispatch from Chicago to the Gin
cinnati Commercial Tribune. So far
her work In this pioneer industry has
been recognized by the agricultural de-
partment of the United States, and
federal agents have visited her goat
farm.
She was prompted to embark in this
unusual work by a desire to see the in
fants of poor people we'll nourished.
1t is her idea to develop an American
goat that will give superior quality
of milk and then to sell 1t at the cost
of production.
Mrs. Roby's work goes even further.
She has experimental in caring for the
little animals, and she hopes to give di-
rections for sanitary housing that will
prevent contamination of the milk. 1t
is held by some authorities that goats
are immune from tuberculosis. and
there is no evidence in the hands of the
agricultural department to combat
this theory. This, in Mrs. Roby's opin-
ion. makes it more important than ever
that the goat be developed here as it is
abroad and become the poor mans
COW.
She hopes in time to see the goat as
common in America as 1t is in some
foreign lands, where 10 per cent Of the
families are said to use goats milk.
Goats never have been bred in the
United States as milk producers, the
extent of pasture lands encouraging
the ownership of cows and the goat
having become joke. With the
growth of population and the limita-
ton Of pastures the goat is receiving
more attention

THE CAUSE OF CANCER.
Theory That the Disease Is Due to
Eject of SUNLIGHT.

Scientists are discussing the new
Hyde of Chicago that cancer is due to
the injurious effect of sunlight on the
human body. In New York, where
cancer is on the increase, experts are
at work on tests to verify the state
ments of Professor Hyde.
Professor Hyde declares that in q
certain proportion of individuals the
skin is supersensitive to the action of
the actinic rays of the spectrum-in
other words, to the ultra violet rays of
sunshine, to Y rays, to Roentgen rays
and to n rays.
These persons under the influence of
strong sunlight develop upon their
skin a variety of spots of different col
ors, varying from freckles to malignant
and degenerative processes known as
cancers. Even children may be thus
affected.
Blonds, Professor Hyde says. are
more susceptible than brunettes to
skin the less the liability to cancer.
The negro races of the tropics. accord
ing to Professor Hyde and other inves-
ttgators, are absolutely immune.
Formerly it was believed that ma
laria gave immunity from cancer and
that that was the reason why tropical
races were free from the disease. Pro-
fessOr Hyde says that the true reason
hes in the dark, self protecting skin of
the negroes.
Cancers Of the internal organs also
are comparatively rare in the tropics,
which is taken to indicate that the

Made the Tenth Hole In 1s5 Yard

Walton L. Crocker recently accom-
plished a feat that has been unparal-
leled In ten years of golf at the Coun-
try club, Brookline, Mass, says a Boston
special dispatch to the New York
World. Driving from the ninth tee he
sent his ball not only the fine distance
of 1S5 yards, but directly into the tenth
hole
But Mr.. Crocker's joy was short
lived. 1t is rule of golf generally
observed that player making a hole
in one stroke in a tournament has to
treat all the other competitors. There
were just 139 others in the tournament
the biggest field ever starting out at
Clyde park-and when Mr.. Crocker got
through paying for refreshments it was
dark, though the marvellous shot was
made In the forenoon.
