SHEPPARD NEVER TRAINS

No athlete In America made better

Melvin sheppard the peerless half-mile
runner in the country. True, Shopp-
ard lost race or two at his favorite
distance, but 1t was not speed that
beat him. The two races the half-mle
champion lost at Philadelphia were run

The only man that showed the least bit

ment armory one evening on the irish
American A. c. one-mile team started
eighteen yards behind X. Koch. the
crack New York A. G.. double furlon-
ger. and yet flashed his emblem even
with the Mercury Foot at the finish.
TO cut down such a gap on runner
like Koch means fifty second going

The most interesting part OF Shep-
pards phenomenal season is the fact
that he has not trained a bit for his
races 1t is reported that he will not be
able to go TO the Olympic games on
account of business engagements.

A woman traveller can go about

American gowns. boots, hats, etc, are
apt to look very smart, and the fact
that she Is travelling excuses her for the
omnipresence of her shirt waist and
her absence of frills.

Travelling of any sort even in a motor,

The great economy of travelling In
Europe comes from the fact that the

IL trip abroad Is question ask
ed frequently at this time OF
year. when people are thinking
OF summer vacations. Like that other
popular question as to how much Is
enough to marry on. 1t admits OF many
answers.
Steamship rates are suited to all
pockets. It Il possible to cross the

while one line sailing from Philadelphia
offers accommodations for even less.

rates are much lower Many hardy
voyagers anxious 10 see Europe go on

on the other side.
Dlsposing OF the question of steam
ship fares, then. the question narrows
to the cost OF board and lodging, travel
Ing and fees. the last item impossible to
omit when travelling in the old world.
Everything depends on the manner in
which the tourist lives and travels
abroad If instead Of first class. he
buys third class railroad tickets. which
