Dangers of pany Express Riding.

Dangers of Pany Express Riding.
In The Century there is an article on
tThe Pony Express" between st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, and San Francisco, written
by W. T. Bailey. The author says:
Considering the danger encountered,
the percentage of fatalities was extraor-
dinarily small. Far more station en-
ployees than riders were killed by the
Indians, and even of the latter more
were killed of duty than on. This can
be explained by the fact that the horses
furnished the riders, selected as they
We're for speed and endurance, were far
superior to the mounts Of the Indians.
There is only one case on record
where rider was caught, and that was
owing to his having been surrounded.
This occurred in Nebraska, along the
Platte river. He was shot, and several
days later his body was found. His
pony, still bridled and saddled, was also
found with the mail intact. It was
transferred to another horse and soon
forwarded to it's destination. In laying
out the route through the Indian coun-
try pains were taken to avoid anything
that would afford cover for an ambush
ed foe.
One Of the greatest dangers encoun-
tered by the pony express riders was
from immigrants and others who mis-
took them for Indians. In those days it
was shoot first and investigate after
ward, provided the shooter survived to
make an investigation. Anumber Of the
riders met their death in this way, be-
ing mistaken for Indians, horse thieves
or road agents. It is strange but nota-
Bile fact that the Indians often stood and
saw the daring riders fly past without
offering to molest them. There was
mystery about it that made it chad
medicine" to interfere with them. Su.
perstitious as they were, they seldom
bothered with anything that they could
not understand.

Meaning of Protocol.

Like many other English words de-
rived from other Languages, "protocol"
has long since lost its original meaning.
It is derived from the Greek ''protos, :"
meaning first, and "kollan," meaning
glue, and meant originally a sheet glued
in front Of a manuscript, bearing the
writer's name and other particulars.
From this the meaning evolved into
that Of rough draft Of document and
was so used by the Romans, who called
it "protocolium. The definition Of the
word as used in modern diplomacy is
given as rough draft of any document
or document preliminary to some
transaction. It likewise is defined as ga
diplomatic document or minute Of pro-
ceeding signed by friendly powers in
order to secure certain diplomatic ends
by peaceful means. F"

OiyiSends Ont of Life.

The fools who give the "a hours to
business and boast of it may critlcise
the man who can expel business from
his mind and enjoy his books, his
friends, his club, the theater, the opera,
the dinner or the dance, but the cheer

the other gets trouble.-Chauncey NJ.

Rubber Bands.

Rubber Bands.
Rubber bands have supplanted twine
to great extent in the last few years, !"
observed salesman in drug store as
he slipped band around 5 cent pack
age Of sodium bicarbonate. cup to ten
years ago rubber bands were seldom
seen outside of a courthouse or law
yer's Office, and their use was confined
almost exclusively to the filing Of court
documents and papers. Now you find
them everywhere. Bands are used on
all small packages in drug stores, and
they have become an important factor
in the grocery business. They answer
the same purposes as twine, and are -ad-
justed much easier.
"It may not be generally known that
rubber band is the best tooth cleaner
known. It can be forced between the
teeth, no matter how close together,
and it removes accommodations that can
not be reached with a toothbrush. Yes,
the rubber band has come to stay. I
don't know to what extent it has hurt
the twine industry, but it must be con-
siderable. ."-Philadelphia Record.

To the Point.

A young foreigner had recently arriV-
ed in London from his native country,
and some friends of his family arranged
a dinner in mis- honor. The evening ar
rived, the guests invited to meet him
were assembled, but the young fellow
did not appear. A friend called on him
the next day and, reminding him that
he had accepted the invitation, inquired
why he had not been present. His reply
was ingenious.

Thoughts are certainly able to spread
themselves without the aid of looks or

The White House Design.

The White House is an exact copy of
the Duke Of Leinster's palace, Dublin.
In March, 1892, the commissioners
on building advertised for "a plan
for O presidents house to be erected IN
the city of Washington. :" The prize
offered was $500, and that Of James
Hoban, a young Irish mechanic, was
accepted. The design was supposed to
be original, but when the house was
completed it was learned that Hoban
had copied it from the dukes palace.

Seryian Justice.

A murderer in Servia must be execut-
ed on the very spot where he committed
his crime. There pit is dug, he stands
in it blindfold, and a firing party shoots
him. If he is then still alive, a revolver
is held to his head to finish him, and
finally the earth is shoveled in upon his
body. There seems certain poetic JUS
tice about this procedure.

Ancestors.

Ancestors.
A family tree is "a good thing to have,
and that the descendants Of the pilgrim
fathers, of the Puritan preachers, of
the Revolutionary sires, the colonial
danes, should come to the front every
little while and impress the fact Of
their lineage upon people is rather
pleasing than otherwise. It adds GER
tain repose to the rush Of everyday life.
It may, however, be carried too far.
Apparently it is carried too far in New
York, where in certain circles it
amounts almost to a monomania. Wo-
men to whom one is introduced cannot
chat for five minutes without leading
the subject to ancestors, and If the
stranger never happened to have had
any the result is most embarrassing,
even distressing; hence those persons
given over to conversing entirely on the
family tree, etc., should be cautioned to
become milder advocates of the neces-
sity of long line of ancestors, for they
are fast forming a class which is OBJ
noxious to intelligent, self respecting
human beings.-New York Times.

A QUESTION OF PROPERTY.
Father and Son in Litigation Over an
 Estate.

Benedict Mcsier, farmer living west of the city, yesterday made appli- cation in probate court for letters of administration on the estate of his deceased wife, Mary A. Mosier The application is also in contest of a pre- vious application by his son, A. s. Mosier. The estate is valued at from s15, 900 to s20,000. An interesting is sue has been raised. It is contended on the part of the son that the prop erty is community property aud that under the laws of this territory one-half of it shall go to the surviving husband, the rest to the heirs of the deceased wife.
 On the other side, it is claimed that the property had it's rise and growth in the state of Missouri, where the wife has only an inchoate interest in the husbands estate. It was then, ac- cording to this view, the husbands estate and whatever profits and rents have accrued to swell it to it's pres ent size have grown out of the or iginal estate. The ground is takeI that the fact that the mere circum- stance of a removal to Arizona could not convert property belonging solely to the husband into community prop erty.
