a time when l cut some ice with the
ladies because they never mistrusted

TABER THEORY is RIGHT.

TABER THEORY is RIGHT.
CHARLES F. TABER, that ac-
tive, cheerful young athlete who
walked through Wayne county the
other day on his way from a York
state city to his home in Philadel-
phia. has the right idea of this
tramping business. He is capable,
he says, of hitting the pike at a
good stiff jog of five miles an hour,
and when he comes to a particularly
accommodating stretch of road that
runs through commonplace land
scape, unprovided with friendly
farmers and other persons congenial
to stop and talk with, the young man
from the City of Brotherly Love
puts on steam and whoops her up
with real EDWARD PAYSON IVES
TON vigor for a couple of hours;
but, ordinarily speaking, he is con-
tented with nominal gait of three
miles an hour, seven or eight hours
seldom more-to the walking day.
He rarely hurries, not even when
hostile dogs pursue his well-season-
ed heels. He knows better than to
lose half the benefit of his overland
hike by pushing against a stopwatch
for any given distance.
I'm walking for health, for
pleasure, and to learn things" he
said to the ubiquitous newspaperman
when, on the piazza of a Honesdale
hotel, the fellow who writes as well
as walks for his bread butted In and
commenced to ask questions. "I
can gain nothing by getting up
speed. l am not out for time or
a wager. There is no money at
stake on my performance. The
money is all on the other side of the
fence, for l tell you truthfully it
costs me 50 a day, sometimes SO,
to go through the country on foot.
When l pick out a route l general
ly pick it through an interesting
country, where / can learn some
thing about the rocks and the birds
and the best kind of crops to grow;
and l stop a great many times to
ask questions of the farmers and
to take notes that | may some day
need for reference.
Il take all the time want.
There are days when / get in 80
miles. There are others when /
may not make 10. But l see things,
and l try to remember what / see.
And aim to make as many friends
as l can along the road, for some
day l may take 1t into my head to
walk that way again"
The head of Mp. TABER, like his
legs, is all to the practical. He
picks up splendid fund of infor-
nation as well as a vigorous stock
of health and an infinite quantity
of pleasure on these shoeleather
rambles that have taken him up and
down the coentry East and South
and Middle West. He could make
swift records between cities and get
a large slice of newspaper notoriety,
with dime museum and concert hall
and lecture platform offers on the
side, but he does not want that. He
could earn money, probably, by
wagers on his pedestrinal journeys
about the country, but the financial
side of this walking game makes no
appeal to him.
The TABER argument in advo-
cacy of long distance walking is the
logical argument He is not out
for notoriety or cash. He is tramp
ing for physical and intellectual
betterment-and when you see
TABER and talk with him you real
ize he is gaining both. Mentally
he is a much more improving citi-
zen to know than the irascible and
choleric WESTON. who has walked,

a local paper to fill its columns full
with lot of stuff that everybody in

paper went to press? The mission
of newspaper, as l understand it,,
is to print things people might not
