WORLD WALK
FOR 4 WAGER
Goodbye; viii See You in Ten
Years." Words of Globe
Tretter.

In the face of a northeast wind a
man started last month from Trafai-
gar Square, London. The adventurer
undertook the task for wager OF
0.0oo, the details of which he gave
in an interview.
This wager he said was laid by
a friend of mine, a weil-known Amer
lean millionaire, as the outcome Of an
argument that took place at club in
Pail Mall. He declared that no Eng
lishman could walk around the world
and push a perambuiator. After hear
ing the conditions I at once made UP
my mind to accept the wager myself.
Upon telling him the decision I had
come to he ar once made arrange
ments with another welI-known Amer
lean gentleman to accompany me. He
is only doing it for sport"
When asked how he was going TO
subsist, he replied:
Il am starting penniless and shall
sell photographs and pamphlets while
on the journey. I am allowed TO ex-
pend any sum not exceeding S. for
photographs and pamphlets for sale
at the start. That is how I shall sub
sist.'
A very difficult task is before the
walker In order to win the wager he
has to touch every county in England.
To visit Scotland. ireland and Wales
and to call al twenty countries He is
to buy a postage stamp at every town
passed through on his journey. Ameng
the other conditions Of this most re-
markabIe wager are that he is to find
a wife on the road. to forward an &C
count of the miles walked and the
towns visited and to obtain signed
document from the mayor or some
other responsible person in each town.
He is to be allowed TO ''go as you
please
Goodbye" the wayfarer called out
n1errily, as he disappeared. See you
in ten years

QUITE DIFFERENT
DON'T YOU KNOW

Archie Gum, who, besides being an
artist of international fame, is a IA
nous cricketer was commenting on
the relative merits of cricket and base
ball.
When a batsman knocks out long
fly in our cricket matches" said
Archie, rand the fielder runs after II,
misjudges it and finally doesn't get
near it, our British fans clap their
hands and cry:
wen tried. old chap! Blooming
well tried!'
When a fielder in a baseball game
almost breaks his neck to get under
a fly that isn't within half a mile Of
him, and eventually gets near enough
TO have il break one of his fingers. but
he can't hold it--your rooters yell and
scream:
,. XIII the bum! He's a piece of
cheese! He couldn't pick an apple out
of a barrett
IT'S astounding. isn't It? I can't
for the life of it see what in the world
cheese has to do with it. And let me
tell you. it's a very different matter
TO catch a long fly and to pick an
apple out OF a barrel. know, for I've
done both
The one bet that Archie has over
looked is that the attitude Of the
American fan toward his national
game is the reason for the difference
between baseball and cricket.
In. the lexicon Of the baseball fielder
there is no such thing as well tried. =
It's yet there. and get there sure" L

GEORGE r. CARTER

The fiag-raising ceremony at the
Country Club on Saturday was carried
out with the additional eclat lent by
the fact that it was Washington's

The flag was hoisted by Ex-Governor
Carter and unfurled by G. P. Wilder.
II was a great day at Honolulu $

A Lost Compliment.

An eminent singer of foreign birth
whose appetite is such that II almost
rivals the fame Of his voice dined at a
table where all the women were rea-
sonably mature, with the exception of
the nneteen-year-old daughter of his
host, who sat ut the great mans left.
The artist paid avid attention TO his
plate until the latter stages Of the re-
past, when the dishes began to come
slowly enough for him to engage in
conversation with the young person, to
whom I'm the Latin manner he paid a
Latin compliment, assuring her In her
private ear that to him she seemed
like n flower among vegetables"
Then can scarcely hope to occupy
first place in your thoughts at dinner"
she responded demurely.
And the eminent singer could not
think OF an answer-Harper's Weekly.

One would naturally think that
the awful loss of life attendant upon
the fire in the lroquois Theatre at
Chicago, several years ago, would
have called the attention OF the pub

possible of all public buildings; but
such evidently was not the case
Theatres, concert, halls and churches
were looked after, in way, but
school buildings were to some extent

like that at CollingwoQi, Ohio, was

1t begins to look very much like a
Taft convention at Chicago. OF the
delegates already selected, a very
large majority are pledged to Ohio's
favorite son. The opposition in his
own state led by the iraycd out
Foraker has been eliminated, and it
would seem at this time that little
stands in his way. The opposition
he is likely to encounter from the
Hughes candidacy will be Of pas
sive sort. Governor Hughes is too
great a man to go cunning tor the
presidency. If it ever goes to him,
it will go in the form of a strong call
from the people. Mr. Taft also is a
candidate OF the highest order and
his efforts to secure the nomination
will not be marked by political tricks
or underhand methods. Truly the
Republican party is fortunate in the
character of its leading candidates.
