SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

a3 ConviviaI Recollection.
There's a gentle "Reminiscences Of q
Summer far away.
When the elephants were out upor
parade;
And we slipped with satisfaction, un
derneath the torrid ray,
A little glass Of circus Lemonade.
We marveled at it's beauty. It wa.
splendorously pink.
A chunk Of ice serenely noated there
In epicurean memories, I find I can
not think
OF any toast that with 1t could com
pare.
So. take away the labels Of distilline
and Of brew,
Which leave me less delighted thar
dismayed.
There's just one fancy beverage I fair
would quar- anew:
A little glass of circus lemonade.
Safe Side.
Are you a wet or a dry?"
I'm a dry" answered Senate,
Sorghum. "Of course, I have friend.
among the vets. But 1t has been my
observation that they always find 6
way to take care Of their desires, re
CARELESS Of my opinion"

THIS AND THAT


Here is where our plan takes on
the aspects OF race course. Our
suggestion is that the pedestrian
confine himself to a certain number
of times around the block in which he
| lives.
! Surely he would be regarded as q
| mild sort OF lunatic If he walked four
! times around his home block in the
daytime. The old ladies' would get
to setting their clocks by his peram

Under the cloak of darkness how
ever, he may ramble around as many
times rs he wills with no more atten
ton th1n il he were a burglar or
something.
Four times around the block makes
total OF l6 blocks in straight line,
commonly said to constitute a mile
if the squares are OF average length
This ing-around-the-rosy sort of
walking makes an especial appeal to
the lazy person in that it seems tre
mendously easy to do--a no inconsid.

beginning because the thing looks
difficult.
Just walk around the block-whv
that's easy" 1t is easy, sure
enough, particularly at the start, as
pointed out. Yet by keeping on around
for even as few as four complete cir
cults the pedestrian will discover that
it is exactly the same good exercise
| as if he set out for the Monument or
the Capitol.
An advantage Of such walking is
that it solves the traffic problem. for
the pedestrian has no streets to cross

In this day of crowded streets this

This makes the evening walk

Alley crossings offer the only dan.
ger, and the traffic in the alleys is not
one-tenth as great as in the streets,
so that aside from glance to the side
one need not bother much with them.
Some may think that the loss of the
street crossings will cut the distance
down. But to settle this we recently
paced off 16 turns around our own
block. not a particularly large one,
and found 1t to come out to almost an
eighth of a mile more than a mile

hit it up" Do not dress too warmly,
even if the weather is cold. as one will
be warm enough by the second or

Eight times around means miles,

one might walk around the world

heartily dislikes walking.
