to order this morning a group OF women teachers
appeared and took seats just outside the Assembly
railing. There they patiently sat until their Dill
was passed As the time for the vote approached

the bill in line frequently holding consultations
with members So frequent did these calls become
that the business Of the House was interrupted ana
Speaker Wadsworfh forced on several occa-
sons 10 insist that the members keep their seats.
The climax came after the final vote on the bill.
Gallant assemblymen hocked 10 the group Of teach

through sheer inability to feel fatigue.
Those who witnessed the start OF
the great race on April 10 we're amazed
to see how Longboat began HIS long
journey. He ran fiat-footed.. He twist
ed his body. He carried his arms like
a Splinter going for hundred-yard
record.
Got Down to Work.
So 1t went for eight miles, and the
Indian was well up in the lead. Then
those who followed him in motor cars
and on bicycles saw a change take
place. The Indian appeared to be
awakening to an enjoyment of the
run. He got off his heels and came
up on his toes, running lightly. Yet
he stayed with the rank and file for
nearly 16 miles. Then he turned to
his manager. who. was beside him in
car. -
How far?" he grunted.
About ten miles more. Hit 'er up
and shake EN-" said the manager
So Tom left the crowd. Such run.

seconds. not so far off the worlds

made.
"Fast?' he queried in gutteral
tones.
Very fast. Were you running hard,

shook his head.

been known to tire and always fins

began the run.
Give Longboat clear course for
Is miles. good weather conditions and
something to spur him to his utmost,
and what could he do the. distance
in?" his manager was asked.
The latter shook his head. It would
be impossible to say. But he would
make all existing records look sick"
and would probably establish figures
that would never be. beaten.
In all races In which he has engag-
ed, Longboat has never been Tex
tended" He will insist on turning his
head from side to side and watching
things along the course with the live
Hest personal interest. If lady
waves at him, he understands, grins
and waves hand In acknowledgment.
1t is estimated that he usually loses
several minutes by taking notice Of
things beside the route in his long
races.
To BE Given Education.
The Canadian people are raising a
fund to educate Longboat In acknowl-
edgment OF his Marathon win. lit may
be that In educating him, they will
spoil the running machine.
"Longboat Is none. like machine
than man." said sportsman who
has watched him in many races. ut

just SO far ahead Of the others, and he
will do 1t to the letter"

come upstairs after the race two steps
at time.
Longboat seemed surprised at the
question, as though he did not know
the meaning of the word.
Hungry" he grunted, deep In his
throat. So they sat him down at a
table and passed him menu. Tom
took 1t In both hands, eyed 1t curious
ly one way then another, and finally
gave 1t over to his manager.
What do you want to eat, TOMB"
asked his manager.
Meat" said the Indian.
What kind of meat?"
Meat" was the stolid reply.

To all questions put to him by
would-be interviewers, the great In.
dian runner grunted monosyllabic re-
plies, Jerking out. YES" and, mo-" or
sshaking his head. Whether he under
stood the purport of these questions
is doubtful. for his manager finally
said that 1t would be useless to talk
to him and he himself would give
whatever information was desired.
One thing was certain-that the In
dian knew obedience.
He is never allowed to run with
out a manager being near In some
sort Of vehicle. For, the story goes,
that in one race In which he engaged.
and in which he ran alone, Longboat's
manager, summoned hurriedly, found
the runner engaged in conversation
with some lady spectators. The In-
dian had to make up over mile to
win, but he did 1t in one of his mar.
velous bursts OF speed.
Marvel of Endurance.
There are not few who claim that
Longboat does not particularly realize
what distance he is running, and thar
1t is all the same to him whether he
runs ten miles or so miles. Lean, rath.

velopment of leg muscles and of chest,
