By means Of the pony express the
distance between st. Joseph and Sac

usual run for each man was eighty-nVe
miles AT first a horse was used Tor
every twenty miles, but later double
the number of animals were put into
service. The equipment was a light
riding saddle and bride, with specially
made pouches of 'mOchilas' made OF
heavy leather which hung over the
saddle much as common saddle bags
are hung. There were four pockets,
two in front and two behind each leg

The greatest feat of the pony express
was the delivery of President Lincoln s
message in 1861. Intense interest was
felt in it. as bearing on the policy or

in 1855 hours, in which were covered
$50 miles, or an average Of lO.l miles
an hour for the entire distance. The
Sos miles from Denver to st. Joseph
was covered in two days and twenty
one hours.

OLD MAIDS AND RACE PROBLEM

ton. If anybody on earth Is competent
to discuss that subject the old maid is
competent more competent than an
the rest of the people except perhaps,
the old bachelor. In convention assem-
bled recently the New York maidens
gave expression TO their views. AT
least their president did, and we pre-
sumo the opinion of the president is the
| opinion of the convention. SO hers IS
the final word. She said;

suicide from the mothers of America
