S. T. RANNABARGER.

the Rocky mountains, he found that the
Mormons had destroyed nine trains, con-
fscated part of the goods and burned the
| remainder. Rannabarger suffered also
from the prosecutions, and was compelled
to give up his attempt. General Albert
Sidney Johnston, then in command of the
mountain division, sent him through on
horseback with dispatches for Brigham
Young. Arriving at Salt Lake he was
held a prisoner, and was only released
when Johnston retaliated on the Nor
mons.
Johnston then wished to send dispatches
to Washington, and upon Rannabarger' s
return deputed him to carry them to Leav-
enworth This he did, making the perilous
trip from Fort Bridger, 113 miles east of
Salt Lake, over mountain and plain, en-
tirely alone. His report of the trip to his
principals caused them TO conceive the idea
of pony express, and when they offered
Rannabarger the position of messenger. to
make regular trips between Fort Leaven-
worth and Salt Lake City, he accepted the
proposition.
The contractors who had undertaken to
deliver the United States mail added this
TO Rannabarger's duties, paying him So. 30
a month in addition TO the five dollars a
day received from the government, and de-
fraying all expenses. He rode a mule the
first trip. He had a large saddle, which
became a pillow by night. He carried two
blankets. pair Of pistols, a bowie knife
and small leather pouch in which were
the mail and express packages. When he
had gone as far in a day az lie and his mule
could stand he would turn the animal out
TO Craze, wrap himself in his blanket, pill
low his head on his saddle and 90 TO sleep
Sometimes it was too cold 10 sleep on the
ground, in which case he rode all night and
caught nap in the sunlight OF the follow
ing morning.
After the first trip arrangements were
made for the exchange OF mules at Platte
City and Fort Laramie, and he was given
the privilege, in case his animal gave out,
of buying another at government expense
This he did but once Often he spent a
night in an Indian village, always keeping
OF friendly terms with the redskins He
made the first trip in twenty-five days, and
on the return trip met the second man sent
out by his employers He rode regularly
until July, 1855. seeing the successful estab-
lishment of the CREST pony express system
from his small beginning Of a year pre-
vious.
After some further years OF wandering
on the frontier he finally settled down on

Infants have spontaneous horror of
isolation. When they wake they look not
with inquiring eyes, but with searching
hands, seeking contact. 1t is a mistaken
kindness to surround them with soft,
smooth tissues only. They need variety,
and it is an important incident to baby
when his hands come in contact with a
