WOMAN A coop WALKER,
Postnlstress In England Has Trsw
eIed 100000 Miles on Foot.

An extraordinary instance OF the
arduous work done at Some of the re.
mote branches Of the post Office
service is reported from Newnham,
near Baldock, Herts, where Mrs.
Clark. at the age of &c, still fulfills
the duties of postmistress and post
woman" says the London Tribune.
For 20 years she did most of the
outside work OF the office, while her
sister was postmistress, and during
the last 10 years she has walked 52,-
600 miles in delivering letters. In the
whole 80 years she has travelled about
100000 miles on foot. With a large
postbag strapped across her shoulders
and wearing little cloth cap and
heavy boots, she trudges regularly on
her rounds in spite OF rain or storm or
snow.
Mrs. Clark began her association
with the post Office at the age of IA
and has thus been in the service for
So years. Her ordinary daily round is
II miles, and her work often makes II
necessary for her to plod along lone
ly country roads by night. She knows
every inch OF the district, and she
even despises the use OF the lanterns
which many OF her nelghbors carry
when abroad In the darkness.
