A GrucIling Ride.

When. some time ago, forme
presidentF Roosevelt succeeded in
making 4 military ride of ninety-six
miles IN a single day he WAS justly
regarded as having performed no or
binary feat. President Roosevelt is
still comparatively young man, and
it was hardly TO be expected that any
but a young man would be able TO
equal or surpass him in long-distance
riding. However, sikty-iiye-year-
old gentleman, DR.. J. A. Throckmor-
ton. of Sidney, o.. has far outdone
our famous and strenuous retired Ex-
ecutiye. DR.. Throckmorton In one
day rode three horses in relays from
Sidney. through Piqua, to Troy, O.,
twenty-one miles and return. three
times. or 1876 miles in all. The actual
time In the saddle was twelve hours
and thirty-six minutes. On the day
of his long ride, DR.. Throckmorton
weighed l3o pounds. Before start
ing on it. he prayed for protection
and guidance, and to this he attri-
butes his success. The doctor was
born with the instinct to be soldier,
and takes much interest in cavalry
affairs. When a mere boy he served
as a scout for the Union Army In the
Civil Wars-Leslie's Weekly.

source from which lice often come.
because the heat from the hens body

for the propagation Of lice. The nests
are not cleaned as often as they
