OpOlt tS.
 A s understand it, sport is hard A work for which you do not < . get paid. If, for hire. you should consent to go forth and spend eight hours a day slamming large and heavy hammer at mark, that would be manual toll, and you would belong to the union and carry a card and have political speeches made to you by persons out for the labor vote. But if you do this without pay and keep it up for more than eight hours at a stretch it then becomes sport of q very high order-and If you con tinue 1t for a considerable period of time, at more or less expense to yourself, you are eventually given neat German-silver badge, costing about $2, which you treasure de- votedly ever after. A man who walks twenty-five miles a day for month without getting anything for it-ex- cept two lines on the sporting page is a devotee of pedestrianisn1, and thereby acquires great merit among his fellow athletes. A man who walks twenty-five miles day for month and gets paid for it is letter carrier.
 Also sport is largely a point of view. A skinny youth who fits forth from gymnasium attired in the scenario of a union suit with de- sign of 8 winged Welsh rarebit on his chest and runs many miles at top speed through the crowded marts of trade is highly spoken of and has medals hung on him. If he fits forth from a hospital somewhat similarly attired and does the same thing the case is diagnosed as temporary in sanity-and we drape a strait-jacket on him and send for his folks. Such is the narrow margin that divides Marathon and mania, and it helps to prove that sport is mainly state of mind.
