him and 1t was necessary to acknowledge
them. In so doing, a little speech and per

STATED lots of fast walking when the trail was
again taken up.
Cow paths, big paved city Streets country
roads, bitches. rights of way belonging to rail-
roads, and often mere trails through the woods
furnished the line of travel for the great jour
ney of this aged athlete.
Intense enthusiasm manifested all
through the west. and true hospitality of the
plains was accorded him after he departed
from Chicago Only year previous he had
passed along the same New York Chicago
route, and he seemed an old friend to the
countrymen. Consequently, like every old
friend, his feat did not cause nearly so much

Weston wore out dozens Of pairs of shoes
during the journey. He had to have an espe-
caly pliable shoe. one which neither pinched
his feet nor was too loose. and one of the diff
hcuties of the trip was procuring just the
correct footwear.
It was 40 years ago and more that Weston
startled the country by one of his especially
long walks When passing through Illinois on
his last venture, he encountered an aged
farmer who was summing himself in front of
his farm home.
Hard work had told on the Illnoisan's
physique. He looked little like the young man
who had stopped his blowing one spring morn

reach Denver from New York,
leaving him 81 days for the trip
from the Colorado metropolis to
the Golden Gate.
Even when Weston had so near
ly completed his journey as to
safely traverse the Great Salt Lake
desert there were some people in
the great cities who were skeptical
as to the walkers ability to reach
his destination.
Cant reach Frisco eh?"
queried Weston with an arching OF
the eyebrows which seemed to echo
itself all over his wrinkled visage.

Rut at the same time the pedestrian is said
to be comparatively poor man. On his walk
in 1908 from Portland to Chicago he en-
tered the Windy City with the expectation of
lecturing. He did little speaking. but not to
any great extent.

refused the offer without seconds hesitation
For him Professionalism Is one great round Of
pleasure. He likes to walk and tho agreement
he made to traverse the continent in 100 days
simply furnished more than three months OF
enjoyment
That was Weston's idea The agreement was
in sense, secondary matter. His vigor vi
tally and recuperative powers are declared
wonderful by physicians who have studied him
He is probably the greatest athlete of the age
everything considered.
BY post roads the distance from New York
TO San Francisco is 1890 miles, but according
TO the estimate furnished by Mr. Weston and
his manager the distance is 1900 miles which
being accomplished in 100 days. excluding sun
days, necessitates a tramp averaging 46 miles
each day
Considering the many setbacks which are
bound to occur on such journey as this the
progress which Weston made was considered
remarkable.
1t was declared that the automobile which
was following Weston deserted him in the west
because that particular make OF car failed to
get the amount of publicity desired. This was
something of setback for the old man be-
cause the machine carried provisions, refresh.
ments and other necessities.

In these busy days, ana people
were getting up early In the morn
ing to tear off a journey OF from
Is to 20 miles before breakfast,
using the stride of their favorite
walker.
The O'Leary stride then, consist
ed of executing motions with the
hips, shoulders, as well as limbs.
along with a good deal of arm
swinging, while the New England
ers style consisted of straight.
swinging step. with the head.
shoulders and hips moving in har-
mony with the lower limbs.
What does he get out OF 1t!
What good does 1t do him?" the
practical matter-of-fact twentieth
century man will ask.
In answer, Weston's friends de
clare that in the first place every
man has some hobby or other
Weston's hobby is long distance
walking. In the second place It
may turn itself into financial ven-
ture some day. Weston is good
orator. and on his tours is always
in demand as a lecturer.
