WESTONS WALK
Veteran Pedestrian Who Hopes to Re
peat a Feat of His Youth
Edward Payson Weston who started
on Oct 29 to walk from Portland Me
to Chicago did the same feat forty
years ago and though he is now al
most threescore years and ten he
hopes to beat the record he made in
his younger days The distance he ex
pects to cover is 1200 miles On Oct
29 18G7 when twenty nine years old
he began the journey which won him
laurels as the great American pedes
trian At that time he did not travel
on Sunday He adheres to the same
plan now and is so hail and hearty
that he is confident of being able to
clip a little off his former record He
follows the post roads Walking match

forty years ago One of Westons old

Boys Use of Darometers
Every English schoolboy who can
afford it has a barometer that he
keeps hidden under his lied or in his
trunk for in all English schools ba
rometers are strictly forbidden to tho
pupils Why should they bo forbid
den Why should they be desired
Through the autumn and winter the
English schoolboy plays football every
afternoon weather permitting He
must play two hours each clear day
These two hours are taken off his rec
itations They make his school tasks
two hours lighter hence when he
knows beforehand that the next day
will he clear he may spare himself
two hours of useless study tho night
before His barometer pointing to
fine saves him a lot of toil But
when the instrument points to
change then the schoolboy knows
that there will be no football Thus
a boy with a barometer has a big ad
vantage He often sells weather pre
dictions at a penny apiece Philadel
