Daddy wouldn't promise them, but said It would be settled when the calf got to be a little older. "There aren't many stories about calves, are there, daddy?" asked Evelyn. .';'ucu .'..

' I should say not," ejaculated Jack and Evelyn in the same breath. "Go on, daddy," said Jack. ' , . - . -: : - ' 1 "Well, while the little boy was on his rounds, telling every one what a fine calf he had to sell, hewas also thinking what he would do with the mon ey, he woulfl get. When he would get tired going from door to dtor, trying to get an offer, he would sit under the shade of a bis tree and make out lists of things that he would buy with the money.' lie first thought of buying a steamboat, for he was very fond of looking at the steamer that ran on the river wtilch flowed by the town where he lived. . One day he went to the rail road office and asked the agent the price of a ticket to London and Purls. : "A farmer bought the calf for 4 this was before meat was as high as it is now. The little boy felt very rich.' He wandered around town several days, and at last be had some pictures of himself taken and bought a cane. ' Then he bought his little sweetheart' a box of candy and a yard of pretty bluo rib-. bon. It made her very happy. ' And a long time after, after he was a man and his sweetheart was a woman, they married, and they had two children, a boy and girl, and the name of the boy was Jack.

Edward Taysou Weston, tho famous pedestrian who recently started to walk froui Los AngeleH. Cal.. to New York in less than ninety days, was happy at completing lils walk thirteen days ahead of schedule. In telling of some of his experiences Mr. Westou Bald; "People were good to me all along the way. ' I can't say where they were the most hospitable. ' But I enjoyed the hospitality the most down lu New York state. I suppose It whs because I felt that the triy ttits ctiMit brer ftud that I was back among my1 oiVfi jfco pie. They would meet me in the mid dle of the night nt some little old farm house out In the country with apple pie and baked chicken and plum Jam. L weakened only once. I got excited or lost my head or something up near Syracuse and weut on a regular clajn broth and asparagus debauch. You know If there Is anything-1 specially like it's clam broth and asparagus. I only eat one meal a day when I'm walkiug, and the rest of the time I driiik malted milk,, and wbeu they brought out this here clam broth and asparagus well, I Just forgot every thing, and, my, 1 was sick afterward! Tresldent Ripley of the Santa Fe was certainly nice to me. Everybody en that road was fine. I walked on that Santa Fe track all the way to Chicago, and, do you know, Ajey sched uled me and ran me over the road same as a special train. At every sta tion the agent woifld come out and give me a bunch of orders, and all the train conductors were given orders where they would pass me or side-' track for me. Some of those con ductors and engineers didn't know about me, and when they would get orders to sidetrack for me to go by they would think I was an engine and nine Pullmans. After they would wait awhile and finally nothing would go by but a little gray haired old rooster who was hoofing it all alone across the continent they'd pretty near have a fit But they never, swore. . No. sireel I walked over 2.500 miles on that rail road and I never heard a Cuss word. ", - "And all kinds of cranks waylaid me. One woman came out In . New York state, and she said, 'Brother, do you know every step is taking you nearer to eternity 7 . And I says, 'I don't care just so I get to that etarnal city ef Utica, And once a man grabbed me and said.' 'Brother, the way of the transgressor Is hard.' And It was rainy and cold,, and I was hungry and mod, and I said. 'You j?lt away or this old' transgressor g going to break; this lantern oa jour noodle J' And you Ought to see liiin rU. Yea. I'm glad my walk's over because I made good. I have shown the American people that about the finest exercise in the wo,r'd. is this thing of walking." !
