WESTON At END
OF LONG WALK
Arrives at Minneapolis After
Hiking 1900 Miles.

When Edward Peyton Weston, the
aged pedestrian, ended his long jour
ney on foot from New York to Mime
apolis he was accompanied by an es-
cort in which Governor Eberhart and
Mayor w. S. Nye of Minneapolis were
two notable figures.
Both the governor and Mayor Nye
set out briskly from st. Paul, keeping
pace with the noted old hiker. They
kept the pace until they reached the
city limits. Here they entered auto
mobiles.
The enthusiasm of the St. Paulites
who were in the party with Weston
held firm until the mixers were we'll in
the Midway district. Here a few
began to drop out, but others took
their places at every block.
Minneapolis downtown streets were
damned when Weston strobe up Nico[
let avenue and ended his 1,600.mile
walk. Weston Immediately laid the
mortar on the corner stone of the
new Minneapolis Athletic clubs build
ing.
Weston started the morning of June
2 from the steps of the College of
the City of New York and has walked
in the sixty days an average of thir-
ty-three miles day and as much as
forty-five miles some days.

lncendiaries and Robbers Busy at
Virginia.
Incendiaries and robbers made trip
across the city of Virginia and set fire
to Mesburg & Lavick's furniture store,
with fats above; to the State bank,
to the Duluth, Missabe and Northern
depot and to Andrew Grande's ware
house.
The Mesburg block was Quilted and
occupants of three apartments had
narrow escapes, having to grope their
way out through smoke in their night
clothes.
The fires are all known to be of in
cendiary origin and were reported at
intervals of about twenty minutes. At
all the places there were oil saturated
clothes and paper and attempts we're
made in every case to break into
drawers and open safes.
Entrance was effected in each case
through a window. At the bank a
small amount in cash and stamps was
obtained. The robbers by mistake
locked the safe at Mesburg's store
not knowing it was open.
The police received a fake call to q
distant part of the city when the gane
was ready to operate. One man was
seen to be lighting the oiled clothing
at the Grande warehouse.

FATAL CAVElN AT ANOKA
Victims Caught in Trench Wher
Walls Collapse.

Walls Collapse.
One man was killed, five were in.
jured, one so seriously he may die,
and twenty or more narrowly escaped
when the walls of an excavation being
made to install a new boiler in the
state asylum for the insane at Anoka
caved in.
Scores of workmen dug frantically
in the ruins in the hope that the one
man, caught beneath more than a ton
of cement and mortar that fell into
the excavation, might be taken out
alive. His body was found crushed.
More than twenty men had been
employed digging a deep trench to
the boiler room of the asylum.
Those in it were working near the
building when suddenly one wall
caved in. John Johnson, who was
killed, was directly beneath the ava.
lanche. Albin Rydquist, who was prob.
ably fatally injured, was caught and
almost buried. The others were struck
With pieces of falling cement, but
managed to extricate themselves and
then rescue Rydquist.

Able to Keep His Feet Whore . Man
Would Be Blown Away.
A gale that blows a man OF his feet
does not bother dog at all. He will
run about unconcernedly while his
master walks with the greatest diff
Guilty. This Is for the same reason
that high building is more affected
than low one by gale. 1t is also
because the dog has four legs to sup
port his body. while a man has only
two.
With topsai,s set yacht would
capsize in gale which it would ride
out with safety If only its lower sails
were set. for the leverage e~erted by
the wind increases In proportion to the
height at which the sails are set. A
man by reason of his height receives
far more force from the wind than
does a dog.
Then. again. a dogs center of grav-
ity is much lower In proportion to his
height than is mans; consequently
he is not nearly so tippy. And it is
obvious that any object supported on
four legs is more stable than If sup
ported on two.-St Louis Post-Dis-

Exercise and Health.

He saw them growing yellow and fab

attract him. He decided that success
had better come late or even not at
all rather than at theSprice of ruined
body. Health became to him the
choicest of the mercies. the best OF

III health is a chain that ties to the

THE MAN IN THE ORIENT.
Hs Walks Ahead Of His Wife to Guard
Her From DANGER,

He Walks Ahead of His Wife to Guard
Her From Danger.
When husband and wife go travelling
together in the orient the man walks
in front, careless and free. and the
woman walks behind. carrying the
bundle. Therefore you say: 1.-THE
oriental cares not for his women. He
despises his wife and uses her as
beast Of burden" Most occidentals
never get further than that. But If
you are observant you 60 out In the
jungle yourself, and you discover
things. When you walk abroad there
are difficulties and dangers. The paths
are overgrown and thorny, creepers
must be driven off, and buffaloes are
ugly creatures.
In the villages are village dogs which
snarl and snap. You are a man. yet
you will be glad Of some one to so in
front Of you with Ratchet to clear
your way No woman would walk in
front. and the man must be free Now
you see the reason why the man walks
in front. If you want to confirm 1t
you inquire and find that this is true.
Thus the Japanese, the Burman, goes
in front of his wife for the same rea-
son that the occidental goes behind
from courtesy. If he continues to do
SO when 1t is unnecessary, as in towns
where there are roads. it is because a
convention once formed Is hard to
break, east or west-H. Fielding Hall
