LONG DISTANCE WALKING SECRET
Of 6OOO HEALTH AND LONG EVITy

Physical Culture: One of the most
remarkable instances of the "perse.
verance of youth in old age" on the
part of a pedestrian is furnished by
Clark All, of Greenwich, England An
enthusiastic walker from his early
youth on, ALL who is mechanical
engineer by trade, having amassed a
modest competency, retired from ac.
tive business life about twenty years
ago and devoted himself to his hobby
In August, 1900, he, then being sey-
.enty-two years of age, started from
Fleet street, London, to walk one hun
dred thousand miles in order to show
that, to use his own words "a walker
is always young" In 1905, while he
was still engaged in his stupendous
task, he dropped in at a newspaper
office in Liverpool in order to report
progress. He stated that he had COW
cred 69176 miles, at the. average rate
Of forty-fve miles per day. He expect
ed to complete his task in August Of
last year In spite Of the fact that
when he made the call in question he
was just eighty years of age, he look
ed sound, hale and hearty and express
ed himself as feeling like he looked

in twelve-mile walking match; the
former covering the distance in two
hours and thirty-eight minutes. Mr..
| Browning was seven minutes behind
! his rival. Both men have always been
! devotees of pedestriaism and both,
too, are remarkably well preserved.
In addition to being an indefatigable
| i'al skater and dancer. He uses the
gloves with facility and in general is
"one of the boys" Like all other con
sistent walkers, he attributes his
splendid health to his favorite exer.
else.
DR.. John P. Wood, of Coffeyville
Kansas, owns large practice, a big
farm and a love of walking that
prompts him to use his legs in prefer
ence to auto or horse. Also, the Doc
tor is just one hundred years of age

physical faculties and tramps many
miles a day, in the exercise of his
profession He and his friends attrib
ute his longevity and health in no
small part to his proclvities for
itramping.
Ex-Registrar Roger A. Tracy, of the
New York Department of Health
AYERS that the increasing longevity OF
the human race in civilized countries
is due to improved sanitary methods
and the growing regard for healthful
exercise manifested by the members

self-control and all around moral
stamina, and therefore is to be COM
mended to all young men who are not
untitled for it through physical Pc
culiarities or special weaknesses. But
the widespread practice of the exer-
else is influenced largely by the slim
ulation of the game through the meet
ing of champions and others well
known. The greater the public inter.
est in these contests, the greater the
number of young men and boys who
desire to develop their own bodies
and to learn to use their hands in
selt-defense. And if the boy learns
anything from such contest, it is
the lesson Of clean-liying, rigid self
restraint and thorough training. Pub
lie competition in boxing, therefore,
has definite value, and the legaliZ-
ing Of the game in New York state
will add greatly to the common inter-
est because Of the fact that all eyes
are upon the metropolis. The Fraw-
ley bill aims also to prevent taking
and to keep the sport clean in every
way.

Of our larger communities, especially
those that take people in the open air,
chief among which is walking Mr.
Tracy was a consistent pedestrian
himself and therefore knows of what
he is talking in this connection. He
adds that given such exercise and the
care of the body that ought to go with
it,, the limit of human life should GER
tainly be one hundred as a minimum
and one hundred and twenty as an
average.
At Hounslow, England there took
place not so long since, a long.dis-
lance walking match between a Mr.
Burton, who admits his seventy-four
years, and a Mr. Wright, who is
eighty-two years young Both the lads
may show some signs of advancing
years in the shape of wrinkles and
white hairs, but their hearts are as
young as when they played marbles
and truant from the village school.
The walk was warmly contested and
Burton won. one of the pictures that
go with this article shows him i'm his
stride, and another shaking hands
with his contestant when the walk
was over. Mr.. Wright was evidently
more handicapped by his short legs
than by the eight years of youth pos
sessed by the other. Anyhow, both
the men are good examples of the re.
lation that exists between pedestrian.
ism and hale old age.
Mr.. l.. Norwood, of the Sheffield
United Iarriers, is another English
man who proves the moral of this ar.
ticle. He is siXty-six years of age and
has been a member of the famous Har-
riers for a long time. Recently, he
walked one hundred and twenty miles
lin twenty-tour hours. How many
young men-judging them by their
birthdays follow his example?
But the list of those who are or
have been boys in fact while old men,
according to the usual standards, and
all through the viyifying influences
! of walking, might be extended indeh-
+ nitely. Charles Rowell, who was com

In previous existence Richard Padden invented the shell game, the over-and- under seven device, the three-card monte pastime and all kindred diversions calculated to get the other fellows gold and goat His known record makes the foregoing statement certainty and takes away any lingering element of doubt. As a baseball strategist Richard fig ures as the One Dependable Wager.
 In the histories of these United States a certain interest attaches to the two ferries. Martins and Har- per's. One is associated with the name of John Brown. sometimes as- sociated with the sour-appIe tree reference The other-Martin's ferry, got on the map because it was the birth place of Dick Padden Padden was heard of in the early portion of his career as a reliable and amaz- ing member of the Pittsburg out fit.

Also they preferred him on base when runs were needed, and the reason of it is summed up succinctly in the nick name they gave the estimable gent. which was Brains"
 Paddens gray matter was so abundant the interior of his frontis- piece looked like a cloudy day. He played the game of ball with his rare old head.

A creased pole was a sandpaper surface compared to our gentleman, and the conse- quence was that the other fellows scored few put-outs when Dick was in action.
 Coupled with this admirable dis position was a natural bent for lead ership. and this brought Padden in time to the managership of the Chicago White SOx. and again to the captaincy of the St. Louis Browns.

HOUSE RENTING IN
 THE CAPITAL CITY
It Has Come to Be Like Wall Street, A Game That Calls For
 Quick Action.

In years gone by it has been GUS tomary for people who wanted to rent houses in Phoenix, to spend about six weeks making up their minds. then spend couple of weeks properties, and a week or so more dickering for terms.
 It's different now. The supply of houses is limited and when one gets his eye on what he wants he must do business on the spot or take a long chance, for the other fellow coming up the street is most likely on similar errand. There are still some houses in town for rent; probably always will be for people are going and coming all the time and new ones are being built, but never before was there such lively de- mand, even though building is going on today at a greater rate than ever before in the history of the city
 Yesterday C. J. McElroy rented two houses by wire. The order was for houses and Mac filled it. He thought he knew what his clients wanted and happened to have some thing on hand. but he makes no promises for today or tomorrow. Incidentally he placed Dr. F.. P. Palmer yesterday. up in Evergreen addition, and he says the doctor landed only by q whisker. (and he has no whiskers either) for there was another man waiting. And the doctor took it for q year just to get it, though he expects to build for himself long before that time.
 This is not only McElroy's talk, but most of the other rental agencies have practically the same experience. There are and always will be a few houses available. but the supply is scarce and bids fair to be for long time to come. Many people who are in the habit of giving up their homes in the summer season to save rent, had the foresight not to do so this year. but paid rent all summer just to be safe Some others did not and are sorry. And some. of course. had good luck. just as some people always seem to do. But the point is. Phoenix is growing clear out of her clothes,

HING ARRESTED
 IN BAKERSFIELD Willy Chinaman After Several Months Liberty, Is Again m the
 Tolls of the Law.

Tuck Hing. for several years one of the best known and apparently most prosperous Chinese in this city, who was indicted last spring for all legged violation of the Edmunds act, has been arrested in Bakersfield, Cal. and will be brought back here for trial as soon as the necessary ar engagements shall have been made.
 Hing left Phoenix at a rather interesting time. The indictment against him had just been returned and he was at liberty under bond in the sum of 5000. Immediately following the report of the grand jury. probably the following night, he disappeared. and nothing has been known positively of his where abouts until a telegram was re ceived yesterday by the sheriffs of flee that he had been arrested at Bakersfield
 The sherifrs office some time ago got tip that Hing was in Bakers field and since that time there has been no let up in the search. IL seems that the redoubtable Tuck had established himself there in the res taurant business. It was a day and night concern and Tuck looked after the business at night. It is said he never went to the street in the day time except to visit the post office.
 Despite all these precautions, how ever. q former acquaintance of the Chinaman saw and recognized him and gave the facts to the officers here. It was not long until the ar raSt was made.

A movement has been started in Globe for the establishment or another telephone system. The new organization. if it becomes a reality, will be financed by local capital. As vet little has been done in the mat ter but it is said enough capital can be raised to build an exchange capable of handling all local work, with connections with the outlying districts. Several business men have signified their willingness to invest in stock of an independent company, should one be organized, and 1t IS quite probable that meeting or the business men will be called m the near future to discuss the matter and consider the advisability of the project,
