Sixteen Year Old Boy Travels
5000 Miles on Just Six Dollars

Chicago, July 4-Could you travel

weight, and return home the picture of

ion on Sc.
Alexander Schick the 16-year-old
son of Mrs. Jacob Schick, 300 Bernice
avenue, has just completed the feat.
In place of riding comfortable in YES
tibule cars and stopping at hotels en-
route, he rode on everything that
travels on two tracks, from a section
car to the top of a passenger coach,
and slept wherever men of the law
were not likely to interfere. The
largest sum expended for a meal dur
ing the trip was - cents, and that
sumptuous repast was secured in a
Cincinnati restaurant where the at
mosphere and Crockery were thick.

Young Schick is now an adept in
the jargon and methods of subsistence
of the hobo. Since his return the
Schick household has had considerable
difficulty in following his converse
ton. He has persisted in going into
the kitchen and cooking a dish called
"Mulligan.' which is hash made
from "pickups" or handouts" Mrs

mess one evening and since then they

the way of food.

LEARNING TO SWIM.
Tho Fat Man Who Was q Model 81
Patience and Perseverance,.

Persistence In undertaking Is a laud-
able virtue, but it can be a bit over
done sometimes. as in a case described
by Y. l.. Molloy in Our Autumn Holi-
day on French Rivers" MIR Molloy
and his friends. longing for good
dive, went to a swimming school ON an
island in the Seine. They donned their
rented costumes and were preparing
for the plunge when man with ropes
came along and insisted on tying them
about their waists. IL was according
to police regulations. and. although they
made an indignant protest. they were
obliged to submit

Then We saw that there had come

Lets see him 60 in," said we.
"What a splash he'll make"'
The swimming masters received the
new arrival at the middle OF the plat
form. There he balanced himself on
his stomach on a wooden stump two
feet high. The masters seized him by
his hands and feet and with slow and
deliberate movements made him strike
out with the action Of swimming. They
kept this up for quarter of an hour.

great drops.

But he did not 60 into the water Tho

SIGN OF A BEATEN MAN.
Runner VII, Looks Behind Almost
Sure to Lose the Race.

sure TO Lose the mace.
There are many more good distance
runners now than in my days" said an
old time champion after watching a
three mile scratch race at the New
York Athletic club games. But the
habits of the runners have not changed
any. for l noticed one little trick in
the race that bore the significance that
used to attach to it.
ITO the casual onlooker there was
nothing to choose between the two
leaders when they were beginning the
last quarter of a mile. Right from the
crack of the pistol they were running
almost stride for stride with the low.
graceful. easy action of the real long
distance runner.
Neither had called into use the re-
serve power which must be utilized in
the final sprint for victory when they
turned into the stretch for the final
lap. Then one of them slightly turned
his head to see where the third man
was
THAT man is BEATEN was the
thought which occurred to me at once.
and it proved true. as always, for when
the dash for the finish began he allow
ed his rival to get lead of five yards
before going after him in earnest pur-
suit
From that point to the finish there
was no perceptible difference in the
speed Of the men. but the man who
had turned his head to make sure that
he would get second place. instead of
bending every energy to win. of course
landed where his thoughts placed
him."-New York Sun.

Gray Can Have 1t.
Looking at it from another view
point. it is figured that if Judge Gray
will consent to be vice-presidential
nominee he can have it because he is
acceptable to Bryan and concededlv a
strong man. He has already declared
he does not want it. He asserts that
under no consideration would he be
"a vice-presidential candidate. That
undoubtedly eliminates him from that
phase of the situation. 1t leaves Nc
Neill, Kern and Lewis. Although it
is expected that Kern will make a
hard fight for the place it is believed
he will be unable TO face the Eastern
support OF MCNEIL. Lewis chances

A GHOST STORY.
The Spectral Horseman That visite
Wyoollar Hall.

Wyoollar Hall.
This ghost story is contributed by
correspondent of an English magazine:
''Wycollar Hall, near Colne, was long
the seat of the Cunliffes of Ellington.
They were noted persons in their time,
but evil days came, and their ancestral
estates passed out Of their hands. In
the days of the comm on wealth their
loyalty cost them dear. and ultimately
they retired to Wycollar with a rem
nant only of their once extensive prop
erty. About 1919 the last of the fami-
~ passed away, and the hall is now
mass of ruins. Little but the antique
fireplace remains entire, and even the
room alluded to in the following
legend cannot now be identified. Ira
diticu says that once every year a
specter horseman visits Wycollar Hall.
He is attired in the costume of the
early Stuart period, and the trappings
of his horse are of a most uncouth de-
scription.
ION the evening of his visit the
weather is always wild and tempestu-
Gus. There is no moon to light the
district do not venture out of their
cottages. When the wind bowls loud
est the horseman can be heard dash
ing up the road at full speed. and, aft
er crossing the narrow bridge. he sud-
denly stops at the door of the hall.
The rider then dismounts and makes
his way up the broad oaken stairs into
one Of the rooms Of the house. Dread
full screams, as from a woman, are
then heard. which soon subside into
groans. The horseman then makes his
appearance at the door. at once mounts
his steed and gallops of.
His body can be seen through by
those who may chance to be present;
his horse appears to be wild with rage,
and its nostrils stream with fire. The
tradition is that one Of the Cunliffes
murdered his wife in that room and
that the specter horseman is the ghost
of the murderer. who is doomed to pay
an annual visit to the home of his
victim. She is said to have predicted
the extinction of the family. which
according to the story, has been liter.
ally fulfilled"

days the following postal was receiv-
ed from him:
Dear Ma-Am in Lima o. The first
night l was on the road l slept in
box car. the second in a mission house
and the third in a Jail. That's going
some. YOU can never stave to death
on the road, because the people take
too much pity on you this time of the
year. Love to all. ALEX.
The boy went to New Orleans via
section car, freight train and the
blind of a baggage car. In Birming-
ham he was thrown into jail for trying
to establish sleeping quarters in a box
car 1t was ''rummy burg" he said,
and he beat" it for the west when he
was released, travelling night and day.
When he reached Arizona and began
to rub up against Cinnamon, Japanese
and Mexicans, his ideas about the pity
of people shown wanderers underwent
radical changes. He stalked the des-

Chased by Police.
Several times he met the same fate
that the Birmingham police handed to
him. He reached Los Angeles on the
top of a Pullman. He wrote his moth
er postal and told her that every
thing was fine on the coast and then
sought box car on a siding to spend
the night. When he woke up he found
the car sealed and attached to a train
speeding somewhere, which turned
out to be San Francisco. After spend
ing night in the car in the Golden
City, he was unloaded with the lum-
Der and placed in the care of a police
man. He saw enough of the earth
quake and San Fran" to satisfy him
and started for home at the first op-
portunity. The trip was made in ten
days with few meals.
Young Schick says that he is not
likely to yearn for the road" again
He has secured a position in the Stock
Exchange and intends to stay in Chi
cago. He has written his uncle for
the dollar.

Generous Mrs. Crewe.

A gambling story is told of Charles
James Fox that rather reflects on his
honor He was one of the ardent ad-
mirers of Mrs. Crewe. a noted beauty
of her day, and 1t is related that a gen.
tleman lost a considerable sum to this
lady at play and. being obliged to
leave town suddenly. gave Mr.. Fox the
money to pay her. begging him to apol-
ogize to her for his not having paid
the debt of honor in person. Fox lost
every shilling Of it before morning.
Mrs. Crewe often met the supposed
debtor afterward and. surprised that
he never noticed the circumstances, al
length delicately limited the matter to
him.
Bless mel" said he. II paid the
money to Mr. Fox three months ago"
"Oh. did you. sir?" said Mrs Crewe
good naturally. Then probably be
paid me- and / forgot it"
