Cross country walking is the coming' fad. Already the ponderous heavyVelghts and the lightweights alike are blithely skipping around, the one In an
effort to put on flesh and the other to
Weston may or may not have started the fad, but If he did, he deserves Xnuch Credit for it. It Is well worth following. There Is no exercise to be compared with it none that gives as many benefits. Walking properly done will give good carriage, expand the lungs and "circulation, stimulate digestion. It will put roses in the pale cheeks and good tlood in the sluggish vein. "Where can you beat walking as an appetite creator? Incidentally walking gives you control over muscle and nerve alike. Lake county is full of jpretty walks. There is not a city or town where good roads do not lead out to the country. To get pleasure out of the fad, cut across fields, follow ravines ialong the banks of Calumet or other rivers, or along tho lake shore. Where is there a promenade that beats the lake shore from Hammond to Gary. The peach is as hard as a pavement and with the sniff of the sea breezes in your ungs, what is there to equal it. Did you ever walk in the country this time of the year when the violets jflot the fields and roadsides? ' ' Map out a route in advance, say four miles. Wear loose, . comfortable jelothing. Be heedless of style. Wear lowheeled, thick, solid shoes. Take the car line to the city limits. Then hike out at a brisk pace, swinging your arms freely, taking long strides. Walk alone or walk with a companion. Correct carriage is the secret of good walking. The, one secret of carriage is: Hold your bead up so that the back of the neck presses firmly against the 3ack of the collar.. This will open the lungs, pull in the abdomen and give you the right step, whether you think it or not. Don't forget to put the heel down first, the toe last, and to toe out Hum or whistle a tune. Keep step to it, but don't try to fceep step with your companion. Don't overdo It. You can't get too much fresh .ir. The Almighty made it free and made man originally so that he could live Sput In it all the time. And walk regularly.
RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS It Is not safe yet, however, to put fcyour ear tabs into cold storage. t One good thing about the political Campaign now on: The familiar yawp )bf the "beaten candidate la very faint this year. YOU CAN MOST ALWAYS TICKLE JSOMB WOMEN BY ROASTING THEIR NEIGHBORS AND PRAISING THEIR 'children. ' . The crop on the Gunness farm is a r fcrop that was never raised on any other farm before. Don't aay there isn't any good--ness in the world because people will say then that you aren't looking further than, the end of your own nose. Our friend Pat Rellley has begun to realize that he is not so very with a certain class of democrats, and lie can describe them quite picturesquely. All the world's a stage and the majority of us are up la the gallery crunching peanuts. Poor, comic fashion plate girl, and still poorer girl who tries to Imitate her. They both look like flies under a milk pan. Life la abort at best, so don't waste any. of It by worrying over the affairs of other people. Sometimes we wonder how the fedr era! constitution came to be considered each an antiquated document. It Is certainly Jammed in the-corner with the other good old-fashioned things.

His health is not as good as his friends would desire and the arduous duties of campaigning not for him this year. Judge W. W.

That much the writer heard, and he listened to this further arraignment of the absent subject: "I tell yon, he is the stingiest man in town. He Insists on the last red cent that Is coming to him. He is as close as the bark on a tree, and it is well known he gives nothing away In a worthy cause." Severe, but As the writer happened to know in this case, it was only half the tfuth. True, the man referred to is close in his dealings, but this is also true: If he insists upon what is due hkn he is also ready to pay to the last cent what he owes. IIi3 bills are promptly met He is recognized as an honest man. Hi3 credit Is good. And this cannot al ways be said of some other men with a reputation for generosity. He de mands no more than he is willing to concede. If he is insistent upon full payment, he is also ready with his own check book. But There is another side to his charac ter hidden from the public view. Let us turn the shield around. This individual who is called stingy and close fisted has a large family. He Is fairly prosperous, but he needs all his money. He slaves and saves not for himself, but for his family. He would perhaps like to be generous and charitable in giving, but for the sake of the dear ones he must drive hard bargains and insist upon full payment of his due. He even stints himself for their sakes. More yetOne of this man's children is a life cripple. Another is Incapable of making its way in the world. And he is educating an orphan niece. The person who called him a tightwad didn't know that Stingy? No. Hard hearted? No. He lavishes all his strength and all his money and all his tenderness on those who need his first and greatest care. He does this deliberated and without regret and without self pity. He Is not a demonstrative man. He is not built that way. And yet his Intimate friends know how his big heart yearns over those helpless ones. Stern and cold? , , Maybe. He doesn't wear his heart on his. sleeve. And for many years he has buffeted the waves of . crushing trouble and daily sorrow. He may have a false view of things, but he no doubt feels that he must fight a world that knows and cares little for him or his. So men call him hard and unfeeling, whereas in reality he is as tender as a child. You see, exteriors are deceptive. You do not know what a man's thorn in the flesh may be by looking at him from the outside. Therefore ; "Judge not lest ye be judged." legislation of whatsoever kind was en acted by republican legislatures, and the party is still going forward. Petersburg Press. Washington, D. C, May 12. The Crumpacker bill authorizing a Judicial review of the law and facts in all fraud order cases, has been reported by the subcommittee of the Judiciary of the house to the full committee, and it is said by members of the committee that the bill will soon be reported to the house for action. It is the sec ond bill of the kind introduced by Mr. Crumpacker this session, he having withdrawn the first one introduced. The last bill is precisely the same as the one introduced by him and passed by the house last session. The bill last year died in the senate. The deputy postmasters of Indiana have held a convention at Indianapolis to consider means for having their sal aries raised. A mighty wave of public sympathy goes out to them in this laudable and patriotic endeavor. Draft ed as each one of them was from more congenial and profitable employment to the service of the federal government, it seems only right and proper that they should have all that they ask. And then some. It is a well known fact that many of the deputy postmasters literally had to be dragged, kicking and protesting, to the service in which they are now engaged, and it assuredly be hooves the government to better their condition, thinks the Fort Wayne News. If nothing is done some of our deputy postmasters may make a rush for liberty and escape. And then who will read the postal cards while the postmasters are out looking after the fences of the congressmen? GEORGIA PEACH GROWERS. Atlanta, Ga May 13. Georgia peach growers, assembled here today for the annual convention of their state asso elation, pronounced the outlook for the season's crop as very promising. The meeting was largely attended. Local co-operative associations, general dis tribution, the use of small markets transportation facilities, canning and packing were among the matters dis yjjussefl.

Washington, D. C, May 13. (Special) When President Roosevelt called to ( order the opening session of the great White House conference at 10 o'clock this morning there was gathered in the east room of the executive mansion the most notable assemblage of men In the public eye that has ever met in the history of the United States. The governors of practically all of the states of the Union were present; and each was accompanied by three advisers, carefully chosen from among the learned of his state. Besides the governors and their advisers, representatives of all the important national organizations, the welfare of which depends in greater or less degree upon natural resources, were in attendance, and, further, there were present many members of congress and the official heads of various departments of the government. The opening address of President Roosevelt and of other leading participants occupied the greater part of the initial session.- No set program lias been prepared for the subsequent sessions of the conference, which will continue over Thursday and Friday. It is to be a conference in the truest sense of the word, wlththe single purpose of getting down to a practical basis at once. To that end there will be an absence of set papers, though in order to open the discussions, a few recognized authorities will present brief descriptions of exlslting facts and conditions. It is hoped that plans may be so formulated that there will be immediate and concerted action on the part of the different states towards the conservation of natural resources, the fundamentally vital problem, according to the president, before the people of the United States today. The conference will deal with problems upon which the continued prosperity of the nation vitaLly depends. For this reason its deliberations are more fundamentally important and far-reaching than any since the birth of the republic. Never before hve the chief executives of all the states met in one body presided over by the chief executive of the nation, and never before has there been a subject bigger or broader to cause such a meeting. The range of subjects to be discussed covers the entire program of national conservation. Preservation of exlslting forests and reforestration of lands at present producing nothing, storage of surplus waters, inland waterways, irrigation, conservation of minerals and the prevention of waste in mining, relation of waterways to transportation and the relation of railways to water lines of carriage, prevention of floods and their consequent destruction of life and property, care of the range lands of the west their re-grassing and proper
Ui""ttLlun ies are a iew or the grand divisions of the questions to be exhaustively discussed by the conference.
The keynote of the conference will
conserving the country's natural resources. It will first face the " transoor-
tauon question. After a paper by James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, the delegates will discuss the relation between rail and water transportation. A particularly Important part of this discussion will relate to terminals. The railroads have at many points gained coptrol of shore line, which is of strategic importance in the development of inland wa-
lerways. Facts wlll.be presented among the

The latter had it rebuilt In it3 original condition under the direction of the Berlin architect Bodo Ebhardt. Today's ceremonies reproduced the formalities used at one of the changes of possession when the three sons of a knight of SIckingen were invested with the estate. The chief feature of the pageant was a procession up the winding road leading to the fortress, with the three knights In full panoply riding at its head and a splendid retinue of equerries, banner bearers, men at arms, archers and varlets in the costume of the time following them.
