Hay, two sturdy Scotchmen, walked every mile of the way from Seattle to Chicago, Just arriving within a few hours of the time limit, thereby winning a purse of Fifteen Hundred Dollars given by the Seattle Athletic Club, for accomplishing this feat within the prescribed time. Jackson and Hay left Seattle with but Five Dollars In money, were obliged to earn their way as they went and leave no unpaid bills, and complete the journey In ninety days. An Interesting Incident In connection with the walk, was that each of the contestants wore a pair of the Mayer shoes, that neither ripped nor lost a stitch during the entire trip of 2450 miles the hardest test any shoes could bo put to speaking volumes for the extraordinary wearing qualities of the shoes manufactured by the F.

She was a sweet little creature, not really pretty, but gentle and dainty and all, that sort of thing. Well, sir, she went down on her knees and crossed her hands on the floor and bowed her head down to touch the matting. I felt like a grinning Idol.

To tell the truth, I really had supposed I knew how to make a suitable curtsey, but my friend, Eileen Fanning, who gave me various points beforehand, made me practice over and over while she criticised. It all seemed too absurd for anything, but really I assure you those rehearsals were all that saved me from dying of mortification on the floor of Buckingham palace. If you fancy It's easy to make a very, very low, sweeping curtsey, almost to the very floor, again and again and again, gracefully retiring during the process and not getting tripped up by the longest tratn you ever had a chance to wear well, just try It yourself!" At least, you did know what was expected of you, and had time to prepare for it," said the traveler.

Well, the one with the beard fell upon the pretty girl as If he'd never seen anything so good before 1 guessed he was Uncle Klklovitch or something of that sort And when he had kissed Olga on both pink cheeks, didn't he just grab the stiff, shy Yankee fellow and kiss him, too!

Well, Mrs. Smith and her husband were both In the cast, but Mrs. Smith's best scene was with the hero, her lover. The play was a great success, but poor Mrs. Smith found a queer chill in the air when the affair was talked over afterwards with some of the women on the board of directors at the hospital. It was only later still and In a roundabout way that she found they thought her beautiful kiss was far too real to be proper. And wasn't her husband mad when he heard of the gossip!
