The mighty rivers woke to sound-- Missouri, broad and brave; Bold Hudson, with his thronging keels; Ohio's crystal wave; Niagara, glorious and sublime, Lent thunder to the strain-- "We're brothers all — we're brothers all, From Mexico flood to Maine."

He also experimented with dumb- bells weighing 100 and 165 pounds.--Another competing gymnast, named Curtis, "pushed" first 130 pounds, and then 150 pounds in each hand with the pulley, an
