CHAPTER aos.

An ACT 10 repeal section two hundred and
thirty stllrec of article twenty. neven Of the
Code Of Public General Laws, title
Crimes and Punsahmenle7 subtitle
Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-04

The rougher the road the better. The
stage would go humping and bouncing
over the stones and ruts, swaying from
side to side as if every moment about to
go over. Then all at once, in the mid
die of breakneck rush which the pas
sengers believed about to result in gen
eral destruction, he would lay back in his
seat, pull in his lines with that giant
strength of his, and in minute there
would be his six mustangs trotting along
as quiet and calm and as completely un-
der control as so many poodles. OF
course then the passengers thought it
great fun-after it was all over.
But now Foss is dead, and the railroad
has taken the place of the mustang.
Another old whip" who, however,
was alive at last reports, is David Batch
elder, of Amesbury, Mass. His first
coach driving was from Newburyport
to Hampton Falls, and the chief place
Of call on the route was the Wolfe hotel,
which is still known to history as the
"Old Stage tavern"
Well, the world whirls on the fierce
rush of SO called progress, and the world
itself will come to an end one of these
days, so the theologians assert. So in
the sum total of "back numbers" the
stagecoach may not count for much.
Yet the merry horn, the crack Of the
drivers whip and the prancing of the
half wild horses-these are inspiring
things not to be forgotten by one who
has seen and heard them, The iron
horse is swifter, but he has carried no
greater loads of love, hope, ambition
and avarfce than has the Concord"
with four furious mustangs champing
at the bits and a cool headed driver
handling the reins and telling his nerv-
Gus passengers to "Keep yer seats!'

No More HustIing.

1t occurred to the frail man with pre-
occupied air and round shoulders that his
wife had something to tell him the moment
he crossed the threshold Of his humble
home. There was an earnest look in her
face, betokening momentous thoughts.
The frail man was not mistaken.
"John," observed his wife solemnly.
"come here and sit down"
He did as she bade him, after the Gus
tom of men with preoccupied airs and
round shoulders.
"John'-
She was softly caressing his brown hair,
through which time with its ruthless
scythe had cut several swaths.
-"you need not struggle SO hard for q
living any more"
For the first time since the frail mans
marriage hope CLEANED in his eye.
Hannah" he gasped, do you mean
that some one has died and left us some
money!"
She beaned upon him brightly.

solved not to do my own cooking any
longer"
With an exclamation of gratitude to
heaven he clasped her to his bosom and
wept for joy.-Detroit Tribune.

II was about to add" continued the Wis
itor, ''that the poem has reference to new
kind of patent soap that my employer has
invented, and was going to ask you to
publish it as an advertisement at twenty

LAST COACH FROM KIMBERLEY.

They were accustomed to the ancient
style of transportation, for they were
pioneers and knew not the rush of this
fevered age. Still they recognize that
the change is a benefit. Hitherto the
people of Johannesburg have been forced
to obtain all their supplies by OK wag-
on, creeping monotonously fifteen or
twenty miles day from Kimberley, a
distance of 500 miles, or from Natal,
150 miles away. Everything in Johan-
nesburg-even the very wood and gal
vanized iron, of which so many of the
houses are built-has had to be brought
there by this slow and highly expensive
transport, while to reach the place
coach journey of two or three days,
costing from eight to twelve pounds,
had to be undertaken on leaving the
railway in Natal or the Cape Colony.
Now the journey to Cape Town. which
is about $50 miles away, is performed In
sixty hours, thus placing the Rand with
in nineteen days journey from London.
1t is expected that the population of
johannesburg, which is estimated by
its sanitary board at 49, 900, will be still
further augmented, and the influx of
labor, combined with cheaper living,
should have their effect in developing
the mines and contribute to the reawal-
ening prosperity of the place.
The last stagecoach!
There is a pathos about the phrase TO
the frontiersman who has kept moving
west to keep away from the "pesky rail-
road" He doesn't know the engineer
and conductor of the great train which
whirls through his little post village,
but he was ON the best of terms with
the driver of the coach, who always got
down at the door Of the postoffice and
general store, condescended to drink at
some one else's expense, and retailed the
latest news and the freshest jokes while
a new team was being hitched up.
The type is familiar both in the east
and the west, but it threatens to die out,
like the buffalo, for, as the old proverb
has it, "with other times come other
manners"
Perhaps one of the best posted men
on stagecoaching was James Haworth.
I do not know whether he is yet alive,
but he was prominent figure in the
west when l knew him several years
ago. Talking about his experiences he
once said:
''Staged it in California? Well, I
should say SO! All over the state, from
the days Of forty-nine and mule teams to
the day when the cowcatcher of the first
locomotive pushed US all off the road. I
was connected entirely with California
stages though. Butterfield g. Co. es-
tablished the first overland stage COM
pany to California. 1t came in through
Texas and the south, up by way Of Los
Angeles. AS the road didn't pay it was
abandoned and the stock brought up
north and put on the Carson, Salt Lake
and Missouri road. Ben Holiday then
took control. He afterward sold out 10
the Pioneer company, with Louis Nc
Lean, of Wells, Fargo 6 Co., at the head.
"In those days immigrants with their
'schooners' used to make the trip from
st. 10 in something like four months
that is, of course, if they were lucky.
The stage company succeeded in pulling
the time down to two weeks Besides
offering quicker passage the line af-

Doesn't "look" as she oxqhs

Doesn't "l0ok" as she ought
the weak, nervous and ailing wo-
man. AS long as she suffers from
the aches, pains, and arrangements
peculiar to her sex, she can't ex-
pect to.
But there's only herself to blame.
With DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, she's a different woman.
And it's a change that can be seen
as well as felt. The system is in
vigorated, the blood enriched, di-
gestion improved, melancholy and
nervousness dispelled.
With the "Favorite Prescription" ("
all the proper functions are restored
to healthy action. Periodical pains,
weak back, bearing-down sensations,
nervous prostration, all "female
complaints are cured by it. It's
the only medicine for woman's
weaknesses and ailments that's
guaranteed to do what is claimed
for it. If it doesn't give satisfac-
ton, in every case for which it's rec
commended, the money is returned.
Can something else offered by
the dealer, though it may pay him
better, be "just as good"?

Probably the best known stage driver
in the world, unless it be Hank Monk,
who gave Horace Greeley his famous
ride, was Clark Foss-"colonel" they
used to call him. He was rugged, rude
in his speech sometimes, but kind heart
ed and true. He was splendid speci-
men of man physically too. Fully 6
feet 2 inches high and weighing 25O
pounds, he was a man one "looked up
to-" whether he wanted to or not. He
had magnificent constitution, and when
he died-it was only about five years
ago, and he was seventy-five years old
then-the doctor almost wept over him.
Foss had abused his own strength, and
the doctor could scarcely forgive him
for it. ''Only to think" he said, ''that
he should die now. Why, sir, it was
Gods intention that this man should
live hundred years. What pity, what
pityr'
Years and years ago Foss went to So
noma county, Cal, and established the
first stage line which was ever run be-
tween Healdsburg and the Geysers. The
road led over the Hogs Back and was a
nice one to travel.
After time Foss & Connolly built
the toll road now running from Calls
toga to the Geysers and drove their
stages over it. Foss bought out his part
ner afterward and became sole owner
of the line. His son Charley owns it
now, and with what other property his
father left him must be wealthy man.
The old man died in Calistoga.
Foss deserved all his fame. One time or
another during his life he met nearly
everybody of any distinction-tha is,
everybody who ever did any travelling.
He was an intimate friend OF w. G.
Ralston and knew any amount of fa-
nous people from the east and Europe.
Everybody who visits California goes to
the Geysers, and Foss always drove
them.
He was a sly old boy, and under his
rough outside hid away an immense ca
pacity for fun, some of which he'd work
off on his passengers, sometimes in q
way to make their hair stand on end.
He delighted to get stageload of stran-
gers on his hands, and the way they
would be walked up was a caution. He
would start away with his load as if the
foul fiend were after him, yelling and
slashing at his horses like mad, rafting
the lines loose over their backs and send
ing the team along at rate which would
make the pluckiest turn pale with terror.
