a Feat That Has Few Parallels In Physi-
cal Endurance and Bravery.
"The greatest physical achievement
ever accomplished in this country, said
John f. Graham to.a Denver Netcs re-
from the plaza of Santa Fe, N. NJ, to
the public square at Independence, NO.,
a distance of nearly 800 Pliles through
a country inhabited by waflike Indians.

desert.
1t was about the year 1851 that Au-
brey gave his wonderful test of human
endurance before which all other at
tempts of the kind pale into insignifi-
canoe. He was short heavy set man,
88 years of age, in the prime of man
hood and strength. His business for ten
years as Santa Fe trader had made
him perfectly familiar with the trail and
all the stopping pl es. He was per-
feet horseman, and although there were
great riders in those days none of them
cared to dispute tn, palm with Aubrey.
On wager of 81, 10 he undertook to
ride alone from Santa Fe to Independ-
ence inside of six days 1t was 80 years
ago that he undertook the terrible feat.
1t was to be the supreme effort of his
life, and he sent half dozen of the
swiftest horses ahead to be stationed at
different points for use in the ride He
left Santa Fe in sweeping gallop, and
that was the pace he kept up during
nearly every hour of the time until he
Fell fainting from his foam covered horse
in the square at Independence. No man
could keep up with the rider, and he
would have killed every horse in the
West rather than to have failed in the
undertaking. 1t took him just five days
and nineteen hours to perform the feat,
and it cost the lives of several Of his best
horses. After Icing carried into room
at the old hotel in Independence Aubrey
lay for 48 hours in dead stupor befofA
he came to his senses. He would neses
have recovered from the shock had IL
aot been for his wonderful constitution.
The feat was unanimously regarded by
Western men as the greatest exhibition
Of strength and endurance ever known
IN the plains.

the hand of friend. One day n 1884
in an alteration with Major Richard H
Weightman, the great rider was stabbed
to the heart and dropped dead in Santa

supreme Court OF the United States.

The highest courtof the United States
holds a unique place in the various
forms of government in the world,
and one not found in any other govern
mental system. 1t wields a power greater
than is exercised by any other judicial
tribunal in the world. In no country of
Europe or the East has any court author
ity to make or unmake the supreme law
of the land, to limit the prerogatives OF
the sovereign, to control the powers of
the legislature, to shape the form of gov
ernment. These functions are exercised
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. It holds power above that OF
the chief magistrate of the nation, supe-
rior to that of Congress, higher than OF
any State. and equalled only by that
which made or can amend the Constitu-
ton. 1t can change the relations be.
tween the State and the nation. 1t can
extend or restrict either the central
power or State sovereignty. In short, il
can make or unmake the constitutional
law of the country. a-GSa-u.-4rszHHAzz

We, Too, Have an Empire on Which the
Sun Never Sets.
Websser's eloquent description of the
British Empire is very readable, but we
doubt whether it is generally realized
that we, too, have dominion on which
the sun never sets. twill hardly be be-
lieyed. perhaps, without an examination
of the maps, that San Francisco. instead
of being the west line of this dominion,
is only about midway between our east
ern and western limits; and yet it is a
fact that the furthest Aleutian isle ac-
quired in our purchase of Russian Amer
lea is as far to the west of that city as
Eastport, Me-, is to the east of it. Be
tween the northwest limit of the State
of Washington and the southern limit.of
Alaska there is break of few degrees,
but with the slightest reduction our ter
ritory extends through 1876 degrees of
longitude. or II degrees more than half
way round the globe.
Hence, when the sun is giving its good
night kiss to our westward isle, on the
confines of the Behring Sea, it is already
flooding the fields and forests of Maine
with its morning Light, and in the east
ern part of the State is more than an
hour high. AT the very moment when
the Aleutian fisherman, warned by the
approaching shades of night, is pulling
his canoe toward the shore, the wood
chopper of Maine is beginning to wake
the forest echoes with his stirring music
of the axe.

There is ivory and ivory, as learned
while talking with William Cooper, who
spent two years on the Congo River. The
so called live" ivory is the quality most
sought after, because it retains an elas-
ticity which is not common to the dead
ivory. The distinction between them is
that the latter is taken from skeletons of
elephants who have died natural death,
leaving their bones to bleach in the ele-
ments. Either is valuable enough, a
single tusk of ivory .on exhibition in
14th street, New York, being worth $500.
1t weighs something over 100 pounds.
For ornaments the dead ivory answers
as well as the other, SO that it is at dis
count of only 20or 25 per cent. For bill
lard balls the dead ivory will not answer
at all, because it lacks elastic qualities.
Mr.. Cooper says that Africa is full of
dead ivory, because up to the present
time traders have confined themselves to
buying live ivory, as it costs them no
more, and would bRiag a higher price;
but he predicts that as the supply of tusks
that have been taken from freshly killed
beasts becomes less dead ivory viii be-
come great and profitable African COM

with Mr.. Ransom. al Arant, Union county.
y. c., had an experience which be will be
likely 10 remember for some time. While
walking through an old field Mr. Hill Was
confronted by large snake of the coach
whip variety. The snake was within few
feet of Mr.. Hill, with head erect three or
four feet from the ground Giving vent to
a keen whistle it sprang at the young man,
aud before Mr.. Hill could resist il entwined
itself around his body and arms. Hill
could not get his knife, but managing to
get one hand partially loose he grasped the
snake AID began tugging away for dear
life. Fortunately, his dog was with him,
and seeing the peril Of his master came 10

dog. managed 20 free himself from the az
fectionRts embrace Of his snakeship. which
then ran up cedar tree short distance

Here's a Tough Woman.

A country woman of Tornin, in the bish-
opric of Warmic, met with an unpleasant
experience in 1920. She was trying to in
duce vomiting by irritating with the han
die of a knife the back of the tongue. BuI
she thrust it too far, and losing her hold Of
the blade it slipped down her throat. She
felt no inconvenience for three days Then
a pain came in her right side, and the
point Of the knife appeared at the tender
spot. But it was not till a week after that
she was put into the hands of an able sur
geon and Of HubIsr, the physician. These
practitioners successfully performed an
operation and extracted the knife, which
was seven inches long, from her side. The
wound was attended 10, and the woman
returned home. Three weeks later she was
visited by Hubner, who found her carry
ing two pals of water, sufficient evidence
that she had suffered no i'll effects.-Not-
