There passed through Grafton last
Friday man sixty.eight years old who
was footing 1t from Cumberland, Md
to Weston. The man was grey Of hair
and beard, a venerable man, yet rudy
Of face and apparently sound of body
Appearances were deceptive however,
for the man was afflicted with muscu'
lar rheumatism to such an extent that
he has been confined for some time in
hospital at Cumberland undergoing
trea tment for that very painful malady,
After he had improved under the treat
ment there sufficiently to have gained
partial use Of his lower limbs he
started out afoot for Weston, led on
and sustained by the hope Of seeing
his daughter who lives there. The
prospects of such journey would have
appalled, many men Of fewer years and
stronger bodies but the old man EN-.
barked upon his journey with an I'm.
daunted, unconquerable spirit which
was rewarded within few days by a
return of strength and sound health tc

done him more good than all Of the
medicine he had ever taken and he
strongly recommends walking as a
cure for those who were afflicted as
he was.

to latest reports is living and on the
road to rapid recovery. The girl, not
yet three years old, was leaning out of
the window watching for her father
who was expected back from Atlantic
City and 1t is supposed she lost her bal.

received internal injuries, but about
an hour later she regained conscious
ness and began to rally.
Complaint mas been made to Gov.
ernor Cornwell and the state road com.
mission in regard to the practice engag-
ed in by merchants and others of put,
tingup signs resembling railroad cross
ing warning posts for advertising pur.
poses, The signs are said to be a
source of annoyance and danger to
travellers through their inability to de.
tect readily the real nature Of the signs
and their consequent confusion with
the signs used by the railroad compa.
MES. An investigation OF the laws of
the state failed to reveal any provi.
sion for dealing with this practice and
the merchants care being appealed to
to Voluntarily abandon this method OF
advertising until additional legisla.

afternoon.
This form of exercise will be most
beneficial to our young people, espe-

needed.
