Miss Nell Walker Is Making Trip
Around the World.

Nell Walker, of Boston, Mass,
called on Governor Henry J. Allen to-
day. Miss Walker is walking around
the world, for my health, altho you'll
laugh when you hear me say it," she
says. She is visiting as many of the
state capitols as possible on her way
to the Pacific coast, and came to Kan
sas from Oklahoma. She means to go
from Topeka to Lincoln. Nebr., and
then to start west from there.
Australia will be the next stop
after I leave the United States, and
hope to get a job on boat and work
my way across the Pacific"
Miss Walker carries with her
sleeping and cooking kit weighing but
fifteen pounds.
'I sleep where night overtakes me,
and carry a thirty-eig special on
my hip for the grizzlies she said.
Miss Walker has not been in the
Middle West before, and she looked
incredulous when told that she would
have considerable difficulty in finding
any grizzlies on the main roads be-
tween Topeka and the Pacific coast.
