THE FEMALE HUSBAND.HOW TO RUN.An Athlete's Directions for Rapid Speed.[Peck’s Sun.]The State, and in fact the whole xumtry, has been much interested, for two weeks, over a queer case of marriage at YVaupuu. A vouugman, or an alleged young man, named Frank Dubois, wooed and won a girl, and they were married. All moved along happily, to all outward appearance, until two weeks ago, when a man named Hudson appeared upon the scene and claimed that the “man” Dubois was his wife, Mrs. Hudson, who had deserted him, and who was the mother of his two children.The story was believed, and Dubois aud the girl he had married went away from Waupun to Ilraudon, Fond dn Lac, and finally to Chilton, folloived by tireless newspaper reporters, until the couple were footsore, and wished they were dead. It is said that Dubois has confessed that he was a woman, and his wife has admitted as much. The wife was informed of the fact after they were married, and both agreed to keep it a secret, which they would have done, very likely, for all time, only for the appearance of II ml son. It i* a queer freak, and the deceived w ife has every reason to he offended'at the deception that hus been practiced upon her It is bad enough for a girl to marry a man, but to marry w uat is supposed to be a man, and then find that the huslmnd woman, must he heartrending.

Keep your head well up.breathe through the nose not the mouth, keep the chest out, shoulders thrown back, body bent forward slightly from the hips, and elbows in. The trouble with most people is that they breathe through the mouth and thus exhaust their wind. If a man, unaccustomed to running, keop6 his mouth shut, in a little While he will feel a pressure on his chest as though a w eight were placed upon it, but if he keeps going he will soqu breathe freer and get what is called ‘second wind,’ then he an run as long as his muscles hold out.”Having obtained this information, the reporter decided to observe bow people did nun, and selected the depots as the best place for observation.The first person who appeared in the field w as a short fat man, with his motfth wide open and his face very red from his exertions and his arms working iii every direction.Next came two men carrying a trunk and endeavoring to ruu, but as the trunk struck their knees every time they put on steam there was hardly a chance to putin any professional work.Hi! Catch on to the dude peram-bulatin’. Oh, why did its mother let it go out alone,” yelled a bootblack. And. sure enough, there w as a genuine specimen of a dude, w ith lioptR, pants, coat, collar and hat complete, poking the toes of his Iwiots into the cracks of the sidewalks and thus “perainbulatin’ ” along.Btill another specimen in the form of a big hearted, big fisted and last, but not least, big footed “down-Easter,” making tho very floor of the depot shake, but “gett ini’ tliar” all the same, and tumbling on to the platform of the last car just iu time.A school girl appeared next 011 the scene, with a hag of books as large as herself, which impeded her so much that an impartial judgment could not he formed, ami she seemed to care for her hairpins more than her style of locomotion.‘•Do people ever chase trains out hero and fall over?’’ was asked of the draw tender 011 the Fitchburg road.So. not very often. The people that fall in hero are mostly those that loaf round the depot during the day. get full, walk out here and tumble in. l*ve fished out about thirty of them; but if you want to see some running, go down to the ferricActing 011 his advice, the reporter made his way to the ferries. On the way he met two urchins playing tag, each with a piece of broad and molasses in ids hand. Wheu near the ferry landing, two women were seen performing some wonderful evolutions, which inn hardly he classed under the head of running, but were evidently made with that motive.Of the several people the reporter saw, not one had been running ae-ording to the rule laid down by thelieEiiathlete.
