PONY EXPRESS REDIvIvUs.
Famous Old-Time Cross Coun-
try Riding.

Forty years ago the great plains of
the west were crossed by set of dar>
ing riders who were known as TIE pony
express" History, romance and ira
dition are filled with stories of the do
ings of this band of daring men. But
that was al time when it was danger
Gus to stroll beyond the parade ground
at Fort Leavenworth unless one had
a friendly standing or wholesale con-
forth might fall victims TO war medi-
cine.
With the passing of the Indian as
predatory warrior and Ills adaptation TO
he arts of peace as an actor in an
open-air drama the reason for The pony
express passed also. But out in Ne
braska. says the Chicago Chronicle, the
and of sand dunes, they have recently
witnessed revival of this pony express.
Not that lack of railroads has caused
the revival or that Indians abound, but
that the express company at Hebron
has come 10 the conclusion nhat
municipal tax is unwarranted.
Hebron needs money, and has taxed
all companies which do business in the
corporate limits. The express COM
pany declined TO pay the license and
moved out. So a pony express service
has been established between Hebron
and Belvidere. The latter town is bit
more liberal. so the story goes, and the
company is attempting to hold,its own
with few outriders.

to the New York Sun, had got out of
Chicago with only the loss Of one of
his shoe heels. "Weu, l was greatly
taken with it at the time, and when
set out to visit my old home in Michi-
gan I bought dozen bells to take
along. Nobody in the town had heard
of them, but hadn't worn one over a
day when the people caught on and
was fairly besieged. When Sunday

dutiful son, and at the proper time

Der, but the minister had scarcely an
nounced it when six of my chestnut
bells sounded among the congrega-
ton. The good man didn't mind them
in the least, but went ahead With his
work. He was rung up on his hymn,
and he was rung up every minute or
two on his sermon, and though there
was something amusing about it
was also half scared out of my boots.
As ] had brought the bells to town |
didn't know but what he'd hold me
responsible, and open out on me.
About the middle of his sermon he
said something about Jonah, and II
of those bells went 't-i-n-g!' on him in
succession. He stopped and looked
around, and then calmly said;
"'Will those people who are juggling
keys kindly jingle little softer?
II was thankful to get out of that
church without a calamity" continued
the bell man, "and I didn't do any
laughing till the next day. Then it
was because | learned that every
blessed man who had RING up the
minister was seriously in earnest
about it and felt)it q sort of duty, and
because that minister himself called
at the house and accepted my own
bell and rung it up on mother within

many thrilling adventures on the trip.
The novel means adopted in a New
Jersey town to pay for church organ
might be tried in less enterprising dis
tricts with good results. The Women's
Missionary guild invented the scheme
by which every young man calling
upon them must pay fine of 10 cents
visit.
Miss Mary Weber of Edna, NO., won
a beautiful gold medal in a spelling
contest. She passed unscathed through
the 1000 word fusillade.
After a severe struggle in which
Miss Clara Bett Martin enlisted the
sympathies Of the International Coun-
ell of Women, Miss Martin finally sue
ceeded in gaining admission to the Ca
madam bar Her recent success in win
ming two important cases opposed by
two of the ablest lawyers in Canada is
another proof of the ability of women
in that profession.
Comparatively few of us can claim
the distinction of being direct descend
ants of the Mayf1ower heroes. Miss
Ethel May Hebard of Chicago not only
claims that distinction, but traces her
descent in direct line back through
ten generations to the STRIPPING said to
have been the first to leap ashore on
Plymouth Rock, the handsome matri-
monial emissary of Captain Miles Stan
dish, John Alden aI&2 Priscilla Mullins.
Drawing room entertainments are on
the highroad to popularity. Mrs. Hen
ry Gielow has been making hit in
Philadelphia by her clever sketches in
NANNY" dialect. Some of her sketches
she does from the memories of the
tales told her by her own "mammy."
English people have received her with
much favor, and they made great de-
mands on Mrs. Gielow's time during
the past season, which was spent in
England
Mrs. May Wright Sewall of Indianap-
oils has made wonderful record for
herself as clubwoman, educator and
housewife. Her name is almost as
widely known as that of Miss Frances
Willard, who said that every public
woman needs a wife," 1t may seem
remarkable that woman who is in the
midst OF important social functions of
the International Council of Women at
London could take time to choose tints

One of the many precautions wom-
an should bear in mind. if she proposes
to visit Paris during the coming expo
sition, is to load capacious medicine
case before she leaves her native shore.
While many things are much less ex-
pensive in Paris than at home here,
drugs are difficult to find and expen-
sive, as compared to our prices, and,
moreover, it is not possible in that gay
French city, as in our little towns and
villages, to shop for powders and po-
tons all night long. If necessary. 1t is
only by the aid of policeman that a
clerk can be reused and the purchase
of a precious commodity made after 8

There is hardly a well-settled part
of our country where the aid of the fed

Sun, has been of great value and it is

with fish to the value of many millions
of dollars. But while our home progress
in fish culture is pretty well under
stood it will probably surprise good
many persons TO hear that number
of European rivers that were once all
most destitute of fish have in recent
years been well stocked with species
propagated from fry obtained from this
country.
About ten years ago young fry of
American landlocked salmon were
shipped to Scotland, and British fish
ermen say they have multiplied rapid
ly, to the detriment of Scotch fish. The
French streams since the introduction
of the American bass have doubled in
their productive value. Other varieties
of fish have been shipped to France
and elsewhere for experiments. The
American rock bass has been intro
duced into several English streams, and
he brook trout is to-day in a flourish
ing condition in the clear cold streams
of Russia and other northern countries
of Europe. The waters of Switzerland
abound with many American common
river and brook fish. which make the
angling there superior to anything in
the past.

ed charming production both by the
distinguished audience and the critics
that were present.
Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden in an
address before the convention of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs at
Rochester made the sweeping asser-
ton that women lack conscience and
bases her statement upon her belief
that women are not able to share the
responsibilities of men. Her words
have aroused storm of comment
throughout the states.
An Ingenious woman who was thrown
upon her own resources very early in
life found remunerative employment in

This new library woman has been well
received. Her work is very remunera-
tive, SIS and $50 being the price for
one or two days labor.
