When Weston was Il youth of TWEEN

was possible for a human being to

with he walked from Philadelphia to

total abstinence, Walkist Weston teach
es, breaches and practices. He is him
self shining example of his theories,
which are much more than theories in
his case, he having put them to the
severest of tests through fifty years OF
practice.
Mr.. Weston, then, is no crank. He
enjoys walking moderately - half a
hundred miles q day for him-but he
does not particularly enjoy walking
hundred miles n day, as he has done
several times. He has made his hun
dred miles from time 10 time Just to
prove to the world what plenty of leg
exercise and temperate living can do
for man. and he does these terrific
pedestrian stunts as a matter of duty.
Thus by his system of natural phys
ical culture he teaches morality and
temperance.
Now. in his SEVENTEEN year, Mr..
Weston has set out to duplicate and
even Guido his walking performance

BY ROBERTuS LOVE.

Wv TALK ten miles etery day and
NM live Il hundred years, At the
w end of the hundred years be
able TO beat the walking rec
ord you made at the age of twenty
five. which was a world beater itself!
And be healthy. happy and hearty all
these hundred years of your life!
Such is the preachment of Edward
Payson Weston-"Weston, the walk
ist"-who is now somewhere between
Portland, Me. and Chicago. trudging
over the same distance and route that
he walked just forty years ago. Mr..
Weston is not walking 1885 miles in
thirty days, less Sundays. just for a
freak. He is not doing it for his
health either. He is footing it from
Portland to Chicago to prove his theo-
ry of health and longevity. He pro-
poses TO show forth to this canting and
critical world. this doubling and dys-
peptic race, this pampered and puerile
civilization. that drugs and dumbbells
are denominations unto the Lord; that
feet should take the place of physic
and legs should eliminate athletics.
In other words, Mr. Weston believes
that if folks would walk few miles
every day, anywhere from five to
twenty. they would keep in good health
and hang on to life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness like the old one
boss shay, which ran hundred years
to a day. or words to that effect.
Practices What He breaches.
Another thing Mr.. Weston believes
we do not require alcoholic and nico-
tine stimulants to keep up our strength
On the contrary, these things sap

A Cherished Trophy.

One of the trophies most highly
priced by Mr.. Weston is the belt of
fered by Sir John Ashley, which the
American walker won in 1879 by win
ming a six day match, He made $50
miles in al hours Sc minutes of heel
and toe exercise. Blower Brown. the
great British champion, whom he beat
easily, ceased to blow from that date.
Weston's fastest miles were made in
that match. He walked the five hun
dredth mile in { minutes 81 seconds.
cutting Il second off on the next mile.
The records of 0G and 100 miles on
the Philadelpha-New York tramps
sound pretty big. but they are by no
means WestOn's best performances for
one day. He has made 10 miles Il day
in match and 127 miles in practice.
And yet this is man we are talking
about, not steam engine nor an air
ship.
More wonders of the Weston waIka-
bility might he told here. But what's
/ the use? Out of respect to Mr.. Wes-
tons years let us desist. Have we
not proved already that the seven
/ leagued boots which used to belong to
fairy tale are in reality the proper
! ty Of Edward Payson Weston?
But word as to Mr.. Weston's walk
| ing theories from his own mouth Is
not out of place.
walk out of your troubles he
| says. ''or walk your troubles out of
you. There is no malady of mind or
body that you can't walk away from.
Not one person in ten has exercise
enough. Inaction gives one the blues
: and poor, weak stomach. The two
together make bad nerves. bad tenn
/ pers and bad characters. Walking
| will cure all of these. You don't get
| consumption or Influenza or pneumo-
mia or any of the epidemics that are
flying around if you do ten miles a
day and every day or as near that dis.
lance as you can find time for. It's
| wise thing to make time for it.
MY ability at sixty-eight to beat
my record at twenty-five didn't lust
happen. l was fit or I wouldn't have
tried it. l am well and strong in
spite Of my being far beyond the age
when DR.. OSler would chloroform us
all.
people who drink and smoke are
bad subjects for the doctors. Medi-
cine has little effect upon them. Walk,
:: never drink social glass never treat
or be treated, eat regularly and mod
erately-I get along on two light meals
a day-sleep six to eight hours regu-
larry and don't smoke Then you'll
live long. be healthy and happy.
Don't try to walk too fast. Find a
natural, easy gait and keep it going.
Carry stick. It's help in more
ways than one. Swing it as you 60
Up comes your chin, and your lungs
