Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 73, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 March 1912 — The Gentle Art of Walking. [ARTICLE]

The Gentle Art of Walking.

Walking, like angling, is an art; and whereas Edward Payson Weston will never ride on a street car, being a great pedestrian, a good average walker will take the trolley every time, provided it carries him from the city pavements, and enjoy his walk to the full in the park or in the fields and lanes of the country. _ And afc though he may take no heed of distances or time spent on the road, this qualified walker is no fair-weather saunterer. Today you may see him passing your gate In gum boots, tomorrow he may surprise you in a pair of tefinis shoes; the noticeablething about him is, he walks, and enjoys it He may be almost any manner of man, have almost any occupation, and yet be a high priest of the order.—Recreation. -
