THE SMALLEST TRAVELLER.

The United States army can now
probably claim the worlds juvenile
travelling record by virtue of the globe
trotting of Miss Julia d. Kits, daugh-
ter of Lieutenant William p. Kits.
Twenty-first United States infantry.
Incidentally her record sheds a
strong light upon the mutations of the
army officer and the frequent recur-
renee of moving day says the Army
and Navy Journal.
The child was born at Fort Lincoln,
N. D., April 20, 1904, and was the first
baby porn at that post. Within there
weeks she had travelled 452 miles;
within two months, 1850 miles; within
six months, $3.50 miles, and within one
year, 10, 300 miles. In this short time
the baby had travelled from North Da-
.kota to Minnesota, to the Atlantic
coast, to San Francisco, and thence
across the Pacific to the Philippines.
1t took her only two years more to
add 1000 miles to her record, making
the total distance covered In three
years go, 200 miles, or an average more
than 1000 miles a year She has kept
on going, and at present has more
than $4,000 miles to her credit. This
youthful tourist, who could put to
shame Phineas Fogg, Jules Verne's
travelling hero, has nearly completed
her second tour of foreign service with
the regiment.
