whatever its nature, itn powerful hold upon
the man could not he shaken. Only a few
ays ago he told the story of the beginning
and growth of hts sflliotion, as he staggered
along in the de> ply worn path about his
old tafehioned log cabin.
He said that in the suirner of 1881,
while at work in the harvest field, he was
attacked with a crampirp sensation in his
anna. The pain was intense, and after
vainly endeavoring in vanouH ways to ob
tain relief he began to exercise his arms,
and found tha v , the feeling disappeared. He
resorted to moro vigorous exeroise, and
found in it absolute relief from the paiD,
when bis exertions ceased tho sensation re-
urned. He would chop or bit wood iot
hours wi'hout intermission.
Daring th s attack, which lastod at first
only a few hoars, the entire strength of his
body seemed to center in the m ■ soles of his
ar i. s, and be would cut a cord of wood out
of tho hardest timber in two honra. When
night oamo he would continue Lil exrrcise
with a sorabbing brush at the bouse, until,
s he expressed it, he wore the pain ont.
For tnree months t ? suffered in this way,
but at last the sensation disappeared, and
for a few days he was a well man again. In
a short time, however, the feeling develop
ed in hia feet and lcga. Then he wa»
seized with an nucontrrhblo desire to
wi-lk, and, finding that constant exeroise
wan his only mians of relief, ho kept on his
tramping, which in three years lime
lengthened into a jonrney of 20,000 miles.
Paring thA first two years ho walked abont
tonr milt a an hour, bnt recontiy he hr t tot
tered along at the rate of little mere f an a
ro*le an hoar. He greatly prefer ed i .
open uir, «uu, except ilU?£g th*> most in
clement weather, wslfced in a path about
bis humble bouse that had been worn down
to a depth of nearly eight inches. In tho
house he walked in a circle, and his conrso
around the s’.ovo in h*s oabin is visible by
tba*furrow bo bps worn in the floor. ■
During the tbreo years of Lin
tramp he did not lake a mral
with his family. He ate from
a large pan strapped in front of him. Upon
this p?n wp8 also plso^d hia shading o p
and frequently he shaved himself while
waRiog. no would f »!l stltcp while walk
ing about 11 o’clock at r*ght, sod upon
being directed to a obair, would r’eep in an
upright portion for three or fonr hoars,
lie frequently arose while still rsieep.’ond,
leach g agahst one of his sons, who attend
ed him at sit times, contlnned hia weary
tramp. When changing his clothing be dii
not cease walking, hat his garments were
plac'd within reaob, and he seized one after
another as ho passed around.
The first summer after his walking mania
developed he attempted to turn it to acoonnt
by ploughing. He went to a field whoro his
son wpu ongpgcd in breaking tho ground,
and after following behind inafm/ov tor
some time, rsktd permission to hold tho
plough. The son stepped aside. AM vent

came fastened iu the roots of a tough hiok-

lines, sud continued his tramp across the
field, whilo bis bod, who had waUod iu ex
