The Decline of Walking.

The very interesting letter from

walking jaunt Of 500 miles from his

annual outing. 1t was most inter-
esting experience. Mr.. WEIGH states,
and he puts it mildly when he says
that Large numbers of men and wo-
men Of professional life would as
believe, be greatly benefited by a
similar experience. and with slight
practice and study they would find it
easy to do His usual days journey
was 25 miles, but on occasions he hit
this up to 40 miles-a most creditable
achievement.

Capt john Smith, one of the chief
founders of the we'll known and highly
fertile Smith aristocracy, which now
pays taxes in every state in the Union,
was born in England before he was

the nine ply London fog. He grew to
be a stalwart lad, with neatly curved
legs and restless. roaming nature
which finally led him to the United
States. This was In 1906.
When John Smith landed on our
shores the United States were gov

and nobody had thought OF those

About the first thing Captain
Smith did after becoming natural

Captain Smith long, owing to the lat

Powhatan was an unfeeling savage

it would be wise now.
Let it be passed if there is time to
pass it. If there is not time extend

A senate and a house Of repre-
sentatives are intended for the drudg-

record for the United States and to
trust to luck for being generously al

TRIALS AND NEWS.

II is to be hoped that the "embolism'
case wherein a young man is accused
Of numbering girl thru the usual
motive, will not be given the publicity
attained by the Orpet case. At the
outset it bids fair to eclipse in morbid
interest the cyanide murder or suicide
of Marion Lambert.
There is a public interest and de-
mand in those cases and for their pub
LEGATION. But it approxinlates the Curl
osity and morbid search for horrors
that induces people to visit morgues,
that brings the crowd skurrying to see
a man bleed to death and that Graves
adrnittance to postmortems. II isn't

it may be based on the desire to see
crime punished and justice done but
its strongest mpellng force is NOR
ment, sensation, shock and seek it.
The newspaper ought not to be en-
annex to the morgue for the moroidly
curious; but it is forced many times
to carry details that it dislkes. 1t un
derstands public demand, knows pub
lie fickleness better than even the poll
tician, realizes that the demand for
the curious in criminal cases is prac-
tically universal. Pruriency a good
newspaper will not tolerate in the
treatment OF its news. But it finds it
self in the world to give a service and

LAND sCAPlNG The HUMAN FORM. I,

In the government printing plant at

A printer needs all his right thumb

surgeons gave him the twice over and
concluded that they'd take some of the
material from his abdomen-where it
could probably be spared-and make
him a new thumb. Just use the ma

grated the place where his thumb
ought to be to his protuberant abdo-
men and he is waiting while he grows
