Austrian Pedestrian Passing Through
Vermont on Long Journey

Austrian Pedestrian Passing Through
Vermont on Long Journey
Joseph Mikulec, an Austrian VINO
claims to be the champion long dis
lance walker of the world. passed
through Burlington on Friday from

Milkulec is walking $4,000 miles
around the world on a $4,000 wager
with an Australian publishing house.
He is now 900 miles ahead of his sche-
dule and still has 10 months to walk.
The young Austro-Hungarian pedes-
trian is 81 years of age and was born
in the town of Agram, province of
Croati. Hungary. He started from
his home town February 5, 1906, and
has been walking ever since. From
mis- home he crossed over into Italy,
thence to France, down into Spain
and Portugal and thence to Africa,
where he worked his way on a steam
er as cooks assistant. After taking
few hundred mile jaunts about
South Africa he took ship for South
America.
He had the most thrilling experien-
ces of his journey while in Brazil be-
ing lost eight days in the forest and
only succeeding in working his way
out of the jungle with the aid of his
pocket compass whicn he carries with
him when he was bitten by a rattle
snake which laid him up several days
longer. He worked his way up the
east coast of South America to Mex
leo and then into this country which
he has now crossed and plans to
cross again.
Mikulec started out on ais journey
without cent in his pocket and has
earned his way when travelling on
land by selling postcards of himself
He has worked his passage across the
ocean but the postcards are his only
means of obtaining money while walk
ing. He carries a knapsack which
weighs about Is pounds and since
leaving Sacramento January 10, 1903.
he nas carried with him a handsome
silk flag the gift of Governor Gillette
of California. He has travelled in all
kinds of weather. crossing the Ten
nessee pass in the Rocky mountains
December 2, 1908 at an elevation of
II 900 feet when the mercury regis
tered Is below zero. The greater
part of his baggage he ships ahead
from place to place and frequently
finds himself caught in a rain storm
with ais rubber coat in another town
40 or so miles beyond.
He has worn out 40 pairs of shoes
and stockings without number but
seems to show no signs of fatigue and
the muscles of his arms and legs are
as hard as iron. He weighed us lbs.
when he started on his journey and
now weighs 1876 but he is in excellent
condition and mucn Drowned as the
result of exposure.
He sends letters To his home paper
twice a week that being a part of his
contract He carries with him sever
al books in when are the signatures
OF many noted men and the seals of
the different states which he has Wis
tied He has In one of the books the
signatures of President Taft and Vice
President Sherman. he speaks Eng
fish lluently and says that during his
trip he had learned three or four diff
ferent languages quite thoroughly and
can make himself understood in sew
eral more.

his kidney disease. He had it in such
serious form that he wanted the
best. He also went to DIR. G. Drew,
the leading physician OF Jacksonville,
Fla All efforts failed and the dropsi-
cal stage began.
He then sent to California for the
Fulton treatment.
The seventh month thereafter he
wrote as follows:
Il am doing finely the swelling is
all out and 81 am 100 per cent better.
