REMARKABLE PEDESTRIAN.

One of the most remarkable
pedestrians ever known is probably
Edward Payson Weston, who walked
in one day from Philadelphia to
New York, a distance of 95 miles.
He left the city hall in Philadelphia
at five minutes after midnight, and
reached the city hall in New York
at 1875 A year later he walked
over the same route he had walked
40 years before, beating his own
previous time by many hours, and
going 800 miles in "a days and 20
hours. Of all the rivals an athlete
has to face, the most difficult to
overcome is his past self.

DEAR MISS FA1RFAX:
am writing for two girl friends
and myself. We are in distress and
thought perhaps you could help us
solve the problem that Is giving US
great trouble.
We have each been keeping
keeping steady company with boy
friends for about five years and
thought we loved them until one
evening we went down the river
with other men.
1t must have been love at first
sight, as the boys feel as we do
We know now that we never loved
our former friends even though our
parents are in favor Of them.
TWO IN ONE.
/ fail to see that you have any
particular problem. You have
found the two men you love and
you have discovered in time that
you don't love the two men you
were going to marry and ought to
feel very lucky about it all. Re-
member though, that q new broom
always sweeps clean. Make sure
that these new beaux would stand
up under the test of five years
friendship. Make certain that you
are not merely being attracted by
novelty and moonlight.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a girl eighteen years old,
and am turning to you for your ad-
vice in a matter that l can't seem
to manage. About a month ago I
met a boy a little older than myself,
and he seemed to like me real well.
/ liked him too, for about the first
week, and then my interest died
down. His did not. Outside of
treating him well / gave him no
encouragement. 1t was about that
time ] came pretty well acquainted
with the boy this young man goes
with, and I became interested in
him, and he seemed to find my COM
pany quite a lot to his liking. In
the meantime, the first one went
away for a few days, leaving the
other and myself to see much OF
each other. Everything was all
right until No. 1 came back, and
now No. 2 always givessNo. / first
place, and that doesn't suit me at
all. He seems to think that No. /
has all the rights of ownership,
and that is because OF their going
together all the time. j am quite
sure of the way these boys feel
toward me, but | don't seem to be
able to smooth the matter out, as
when we are all together, or in a
party, there is always some re-
straint. X. Y. ".
The loyalty that exists between
two decent boys or men is such
that you will have great difficulty
changing this situation. 1t is a
matter Of honor, and the second
boy would certainly feel it a viola
tion of principle if he were to "cut
out" his friend with you. l have
seen many cases where one mans
loyalty to another was greater
than any feeling they might have
for a girl or woman. You should
be very glad that this is so, since
II proves the fine caliber Of which
this second boy is made. Don't try
to rush matters or force them.
