AUTHORS AS LONG WALKERS
Dickens, Wadsworth, southey, Faw-
cett and Others Were CIassed AZ
Pedestrians of Prominence.

1t Is calculated that Wordsworth, I'M
his many years of sauntering, must
have Travelled distance of 10000
miles. What sights he saw during such
prolonged and delightful wanderings
only those who have the poets mind
and eye can even guess, observes Lon
don Tlt-Bits. :
Charles Dickens was confirmed
tramp, and no doubt acquired his ex-
perience of life ON the road" from ac-
tual acquaintance with all sorts Of
vagabonds and odd characters. (,
One of the most remarkable of I'M
professional walkers was Professor
Wil-on, the christopher North" of lit
erature. His fine physique and great
endurance prompted him to the per-
Torrance of wonderful feats, which
seemed to him entirely n matter OF
course. He once walked 40 miles In
eight hours, and at another time
walked distance of so miles In "a
hours.
Henry Fawcett, also, WAS tireless
walker, and one who, when deprived
of sight, did not think OF relinquishing
this among many forms OF exercise. His
was familiar figure on the roads
about Cambridge. and there is no ex-
aggeration in saying that few men
blessed with all his senses could enjoy
nature more thoroughly than he.
Southey. worn and preyed upon by
mental application and the practical
anxieties of everyday life, found his
greatest relief in tramping about the
country.
John Stuart Mil delighted In pedes
trian tours, and Charles Lamb, though
he loved town better than country, wal
one who believed In sweeping cobweb
from the brain by brisk and continuous
walking.

TIME most delightful part of my
life was that age when boys and
girls freely mingle with each
other as friends. half boy and
girl, half man and woman.
There was one Thanksgiving when
the head of our large family invited
every member that could be reached
to spend a week in his large country
house, including Thanksgiving day.
Those of US of my generation went
in for a good time together. The girls
were of that age when taste for mis-
chief predominates. One night when
1 was getting ready for bed 1 found
the legs of my pajamas sewed up.
When l had ripped the sewing, got
them on and tumbled into bed l found
the sheets scratched. 1 had turned off
the light so, springlng out of bed, 1
tiptoed hastily to the door, opened it
and was in time to grab the last of a

darkness.

Slipping back into my room, 1 turned
on a light, and there, sticking onto
the breast of my pajamas, was an
elongated pin of chased gold set in
The center with a single sapphire.
The problem was to identify the girl
1 had kissed by discovering the owner
of the pin. 1 consulted with my mer
cousins, and it was decided that

Star, at Gayety This Week.

Dave Lewis. the famous comedian.
now starring at The Gayety with AL
Reeves show. is appearing for the first
time in burlesque. having formerly
been vaudeville headliner with
Webber & Fields and the Schuberts.
Another new star with AL Reeves Is
Miss Maybelle Gibson, a talented
soprano. also a vaudeville star to
enter the burlecque world.
The chorus which includes more than
a score Of beautiful girls, is one of the
highest priced aggregations appearing
on the burleque stage today.
One OF the special attractions at the
Gayety Is the closing act of living
models of classic figures. which sur
passes even the splendid efforts Of
past years.
The scenery effects. all hand paint
ed, represent the highest of stage art
and help much in making successful
the frolicsome show. There is nothing
lacking in the line of ''pep"-yet never

permit themselves to indulge in the
fascinating amusements Of vivisecting
the characters and appearance of the
partners OF their bosoms.
The minute Mr.. Smith begins to
question In his own mind whether his
Maria's nose h really straight or a
little lopsided. and to wonder II her
artless conversation 10 the naivete Of
extreme youth or merely the lack of
brains. that minute Mr.. Smith begins
to come out from under the trance Of
love into which he has put himself,
and his salvation lies in his making
another pass or two before his eyes
and sinking back again into a state
Of romantic dreams.
And IL this Is true of men Il is
doubly true Of women. A woman's
happiness depends upon her reciting
over and over the iitany Of her hus-
bands perfections. as Hindus do the
name OF q god, until she becomes SELF
hypnotised by the process. Let a
woman once begin canvassing her
husbands weaknesses with her dear
est friend and Cupid beats II. He

nary woman an angel, or of a woman
to esteem some commonplace man q
Sir Gallahad. 1t follows that It Ia moth
ing short Of q crime to wake lovers
up and open their eyes to what their
beloveds really are. This Is q form
Of cruelty which is the favorite in
door sport Of most families, and when
one hears mothers criticizing their
daughters-in-law to their sons, and
their sons-in-law to their daughters.
one wonders that they never realize
that they are running their children's
happiness by breaking the spell that
binds them and making them see
those to whom they are tied for Life
stripped OF all the pink chiffon Of ro-
nance which had made them beauti-
full and desirable.
And still more curious is it that
married people do not walk softly in
the domestic life for fear of waking
up their husbands and wives. For
well they know that all marital hap
piness depends upon a man or woman
being mesmerized. None of US have
enough admirable qualities to, inspire
deathless devotion on our account.
1t Is only our husbands or wives abil-
ity to hypnotlze themselves that en-
ables us to get away with 1t.
