feet under the chair or outside of It.
Many a man will back himself to
give another a start of fifty yards
in a race of 100, provided the malt
having the chart hops all tho wage
But 110 runner, however swift, can
give •that amoanit of start to an or-
dinary man. For the first five yards
they go at practically the same pace.
Therefore the runner, to go ninety-
five yards while the "hopper" goes
forty-five, would have to run more
that twice as fast, and It would be
a weak man who could not !top forty-
fivo yards at a pace equal to twenty
sceponds for 100 yards, and that
would mean that the runner, in or-
der to win` would have to beat all
previous reoorea
If a man boasts that his penknife
15 particularly sharp ask Isim to cut
with one stroke of the blade one of
those' yellow ribbons, mostly silk,
which are round bundles of cigars.
Int 900 cases out 'of 1,000 the knife
is rot sharp enough to do this. It wilt
out through all the ribbon except the
last strand, and that will pull out
.long, and tete more he tries to cut it
the longer it will pull.
No one except a blind man can
stand without support of any kind
for five Minutes at a stretch, if ]ho

moving his feet. If he dons not move
his feet ho is pretty sure to topple
