Walking.

Country life has taught US much,
but II has not yet made walkers of us.
Physicians testify that no exercise is
so generally beneficial as walking.
Every naturalist or nature lover, will
tell you that no other means is so
good for knowing the country; every
walker proclaims that no other pur-
suit gives so much pleasure. Still,
writes Ella NJ. Bault in the Independ-
ent, no one walks. Men walk no
more than women. We are so prone
to initiate our English cousins, why
does their love Of walking not arouse
us to emulation? Conscience, fashion
or inclination impel us to ride drive,
row. swim. fish, hunt, golf, play ten
mis-; we even chop trees and saw wood
for exercise II we are strenuous and
incline to the simple life, to say moth,
Ing of making gardens; we own and
drive airships, automobiles and motor
cars OF all descriptions, but We do not,
will not, and. in fact, cannot walk.

The story was told In the Youths
Companion some time ago Of a men,
Der Of school city" in Chicago who
defeated his teacher in debate on the
question OF war, which, the boy main
tanned, Is forbidden by the ten COM
mandments and Is always wrong. Now
comes from Philadelphia the story OF
a girl who was also admitted to citl.
xenship in such an organization, and
who upset promptly all the expecta-
tions OF the sohoolmistress. Every
teacher who had ever struggled over
her admitted that Marie Parola was
torment and a plague. There were 500
other girls In the same building with
her, but Marie held all records as
truant, slattern and mischief-maker.
This Is the way she appeared to her
teachers, but she must have had good
qualities which were apparent to her
fellow pupils, although not to the
teachers. With the girls of her class
Marie was almost universally a ia.
vorite. After time school city"
was organized among the pupils, and
to the disgust OF the teacher, Marie
was elected almost unanimously as
delegate to the common council from
her room What shall l do?" her
teacher asked of the other School
ma'ams." wait and see," they coun-
seled. Perhaps she will be afraid to
come any more" But the next morn
Ing Marie was on hand bright and
early, attired as for ball When the
teacher arrived Marie greeted her gra-
ciously. Soon there entered pupil
as tousled and dirty as Marie had
usually been. The new councilman"
led her aside and laid down the law
to her. 1--WE are citizens now," she
said. "You don't want to do this way
any more" Another girl who came
late was also taken In hand and dis
ciplined by the councilman" Two
years later the teacher who had been
so angry when Marie was elected to
the council admitted that there had
never been In the school another in

There are honest makers Of foods

Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be
of kind to understand 1t.

sorry class Of pretenders, but your
training does not taint the old fashion

of pretense and deceit.

OUR TOBACCO BILL.
More Money SpeUt Every Year For To.

(Exchange.)

(Exchange)
On "My Lady Nicotine" the
people Of the United States spend
twelve times as much cash as
they spend on the ministers of
the Gospel. Our tobacco bill,
annually, is double that of our
bill for public education or for all
the furniture in our houses.
We pay out more money for
the fragrant weed than for sugar.
Every time we spend 10 cents for
bread, we hand over A cents for
tobacco.
All the gold coined in this
country last year would fall short
Of covering our smoking account
by nearly S100,000,000, for we
spend yearly Tor cigars, cigar
cites, smoking and chewing to-.
bacco, and snuff more than $780,
100000.
The money paid by Americans
for smoking equals the amount
paid for shoes for our $4,000, 900
inhabitants. Smokers burn up
