legs will "foot 1t" when they take a
notion to journey from New York to
a Francisco. Mr.. Weston has been
advocating walking as the best means
OF gaining and keeping health ever
since he was q boy. He was born in
providence, r. l., March Is, 1889, and
at threescore and ten is able to under
a k a tramp that few young men
would think themselves fit to finish.
But he was not a very vigorous youth.
He took up walking in order to benefit
bis health. 1t agreed with him SO well
that he made o or less Of a voca-
ton of 1t. At twenty-five he walked
from Boston to Washington to witness
the first Inauguration Of Abraham Lin
coin. That was quite a stunt for those
days. He made the 453 miles in POS
hours. It was in 1867 that he walked
from Portland Me-, to Chicago and by
this performance won international rep
utation as, a pedestrian. He made the
trip In 25 days and % hours, and when
In 1907, forty years later, he proposed
to repeat the performance there were
many who doubted whether he could
make good. He not only did as we'll
as when he was a comparative youth
OF t~wenty-nine, but he reached Chicago
ahead Of schedule time and beat his
former record by nearly twenty-eighe
hours.
1t was supposed that Weston would
be satisfied with the record he made on
his second walk from Portland to Chi
cage and retire on these ~laurels, but a
little while ago he announced that with
the arrival of his SEVENTEEN birthday,
on March Is, he would start out on n
walk to San Francisco. The old mans
grit has naturally Won him many adj
mirers, and the feat that he Is now I'M.
dertaking Is the occasion Of wide and
