inti* the large living room from the

dealers in sporting goods, indicate that
"Beat Walkers Make Best Citizens,"
Says Mayor of. New York.
New York.—One must walk nowa
days to be*!n the swim. Statistics

end Cumpilre <!irls’ organizations, I Aou don't look very much,amused,
from, the Y. M. A. branches and | Aunt Coorgle, ( onstnnce dared to
kindred bodies, from scores (*f amateur ' tia ^' u *ull.v look terrihlj an*
uoyetl. Yoj don't like it because I
went out with Tom. Please be hon
est and tell me.”
"I didn’t say 1 didn’t like it,” .said
Aunt tieorgie. “Please don't mis
quote me. But it is really funny—”
“You mean because of the feud be
tween our families'/”
“How you follow me up,” complained
(ieorgie^ "And how absurd to speak
of a TetnL’ 1 am sure 1 dear the Les
ters in*.animosity. We’ve lived across
the road from them for years—” ,
“But, Aunt (Jeorgie,” persisted Con
stance, “you never exchange calls.”
I Aunt tieorgie smiled loftily. She
: went <>n playing solitaire. But Con
stance was in a singularly trying mood.
"And I didn't ask Tom Lester to come
in Just now because 1 know you
wouldn’t like it.” *
| “Don’t say I wouldn’t like it,” sa’id
Aunt tieorgie aggrievediy. “Mr. l.es-
i ter probably wouldn't come in if
you asked him. 1 dare say he's a
perfectly proper sort of young man—
only you must admit it's amusing."
# 'You mean my going nut with
ToniV’ tlaivd Constance. "Personally
I don't see where the Julie comes in.
I know what you mean, Aunt tieorgie.
You mean that the neighbors who see
Tom and me together will have some
thing to smile about. It's a tradition
in this cotnmiiuity that you and Mrs.
Lester only bow tn each other. It's
understood at luncheons that you and
she should he seated as far apart as
possible. No- one ever asks you to
come fur a cup of lea together. Some
how I think. Aunt tieorgie, that you’ve
rather enjoyed it—not being fond of
the Lesters, Most people break their
necks to lie friends w it k) the* Lesters,
and you barely nod to them. That
makes you appear terribly superior—”
"Constance Maiming!” gasped
“How you talk!"
Tom said Ids mother *aid that when
we first came here she and mother
used to see a lot of fnieh other. He
said that his mother said that you
and she liv'd to pal around quite u
bit—” -
"Mr. Thomas Lester must have a
great ddal to talk about, if he tinils
, time to gossip about bis mother and
t your aunt." • v
“It's quite Important to us,” Con
stance explained. “We’re good friends
—Tom .and I. hur famiUes are not.
But so far as w,» can see we ought to
be very neighborly and congenial with
lots of tastes in common. So Tom
asked h^l mother why Ids family and
ours were on the outs and she thought
/iihI thought for a long time, and
tinally site said, ‘bless,aj if 1 know.’”
^Jeorgie ga\> a nnunenlary start.
Then she reeovereil her superior smile
hiii! laid the eanls out for solitaire
w ithotit seeing them. '
‘‘We won't talk any more about It,
<’onstance,’’ she said.
Constance had no intention ">f letting
the uiiiiter i^rop. Perhaps there was
some deoti rTVsiMi—for the feeling be
tween tlie families. Perhaps -
Constance was musing lints as she
tried to get to sleep in her little room
that-uiglit. It was not her fault fliat
sin
today there are n<* less than 8.000
hiking clulis In (ireater New York,
will, a total membership of more than
n quarter of a million men and wom
en, who are keeping themselves in the
pink of condition and experiencing the
..real Joy of living by getting regularly
out into the open country with no oth
er means of locomotion than thejr God-
given legs.
The city of New York has taken offi
cial notice of the movement. On three
oecnsions recently Mayor H.v Ian has
congratulated the hoys and girls of the
public schools upon their enthusiasm
In taking up the new sport of hiking.
In Ids dedication of the great new pub
lic playground in the Bronx the other
day Mayor Hylau extolled the athletic
tendencies of the hoys and girls and
impressed upon them' that there was ! Georgie
no better or more profitable way In
which they could pass their vacations
and utijizc th^ir holiday's than by the
excursions into field and forest of their
walking clubs. He gave the same
message to the Amateur Athletic Un
ion, of Brooklyn a few days later, aiyl
when a club of East Side boys and flrls
▼ Islfed him at city hall preparatory te
a hike to the tomb of Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay he assured them that the
best walkers among them would make
the best citizens.
Walk and Be Well
, No less enthusiastic a champion of
the walking game Is Hr. Royal S.
Hopeland. city health commissioner.
“The benefit to health and the safe
guard to morals fn be found in long
walks,” said Hr. Copeland in an in
terview, “are too apparent to speak
of them. If one takes long walks alone
•!t is well, for he walks the road of
health, hut if lie takes long walks In
company It is better for tie adds the
tonic of companionship to Ids exercise.
Walking is the omu form of exercise In
which there is the minimum risk of
overdoing it. In short; I consider
walking llie most henefiehi! of wlt'Vxer-
cises and it is never mil of season!”
“Never In my lifetime.” said Ed
ward R. Wilbur, manager of a nation-,
ally known sporting goods store, “have
I known such a demand as now for out
door garments and shoes and stock
ings and appliances ft*r, the tourist’s
luncheon box. The rapid spread and
tremendous popujarify of the vvalking-
club Idea has mi parallel in hill 1 t>X-

indispensable to hiking thick walking

as tlie soldiers used In France.
The Cow in the Knapsack
“To get the ich! hewth and joy out
of hiking luncheon should be carried
and prepared ami eaten ■ in the open.
Bread anil cheese, a few slices of
hiicon, some coffee, a can of condensed

Observation Relieved
Monotony of Illness
It has often been my feeling that
pYrhaps the happiest man is the
healthy,hookworm who, by laying out
a quarter for a second-hand volume,
can get us much pleasure in a week
as the other fellow, more dependent
upon expensive entertainments and
indulgeneies that draw on his wad.
'I he former is among that hai*py class
that can say with the poet, “My mind
to me a kingdom is; such pleasant
joys therein I find.”
But 1 discovered his equal the other
day when visiting a sick friend.iiu
Outremont whose house adjoins a va-
eanf lot, says the Montreal Herald. I
found him sitting comfortably on the
veranda overlooking that lot and
studying It through a pair of* field
glasses.
He asked me: “How many kinds
of plants would you suppose there Is
in that field?”
“About half a dozen.” I replied.
“1 have already found 77,” he as
sured me. and went on to name them.
Confinement to a veranda did not
worry him much.
Man’s Feathered Friends
Birds are closely allied to the Brit
ish farmer, shepherd and sportsman
and those who are wise in bird lore,
rely on their feathered friends for in
formation and warning. The wryneck
i* tlie woodman’s bird, its hawklike
cry in April giving the signal for the
stripping of oak trees’ bark. The yel
low wagtail Is a farmer’s bird, usher
ing In the time of spring sowings. As
the sandpiper Is the angler’s enmpan-
h>n, the wheatear keeps the shepherd
company on lonely downs. Even the
miller has his bird In the redwing,
called “windmill thrush," since tlie
working of its wings suggests the re
volving of a windmill’s sails, while It
is supposed to seek shelter h.v wind
mills in hard weather. Redwings now
arrive in force; the pity is that few
windmills are left to keep up the
traditional association.—London Mull.

Expert Shingle Weavers
Tn spite of the multiplication of effi
cient machines to lighten and simplify
labor, shingles are still woven (or
packed) by hand. No machinery has
yet been invented capable of eliminat
ing the expert shingle weaver. Lx-
amine a hunch of shingles as tlie car
penter takes them apart for shingling
tlie roof, and you will see the unique
process by whioia the compact hunch
has been woven. Now a wide shingle,
now a narovv one, makes the hunch the
exact width, and all day long the
weaver stands and seizes shingle after
shingle thrown out from the sawing
machine, and without any false moves
weaves them into compact hunches.
The term shingle-weaver has been ex
tended by custom, .till It now ^applies
to anyone who jivorks in any depart
ment of a shingle mill.
