In traversing long distances they leap and bound like deer.
"Deerfoot," the famous Indian long-distance runner, died on the Cattaraugus Reservation in January, 1896.

His proper name was Louis Bennett, the name "Deerfoot" having been given to him for his prowess in running.

He was born on the reservation in 1828.

In 1861 he went to England, where he defeated the English champion runners.

In April, 1863, he ran 11 miles in London in fifty-six minutes fifty-two seconds, and 12 miles in one hour two minutes and two and one-half seconds, both of which have stood as world's records ever since.
In Japan, at the present day, the popular method of conveyance, both in cities and in rural districts, is the two-wheeled vehicle, looking like a baby-carriage, known to foreigners as the jinrickisha, and to the natives as the kuruma.
