A Healthy Ramble.

Two boys, probably about 17 years old, passed through this city Tuesday on their way to Chicago. They bad walked from Waterbury, Connecticut,, on a wager of SIOO, and the terms were that they should get to Chicago in 35 days. They had five days in which to reach Chicago and were in good condition and sure of winning their •bet. They carried a blanket slung on their shoulders so that they ceuld lie down and rest comfortably, and wept along on their big walk in a cheerful frame of mind. —LaPorte Argus.
