claims to be the original promoter OF
the rural free delivery. Born in
Maine and spending his boyhood days
around Boothby way. his first incur
sion into business life was as a mail
carrier between two villages Natur-
ally his appointment to this somewhat
dignified position considerably elated
him. and desiring to increase his popu-
larity with the villagers. he found
himself the dispenser of news as well
as mail through the entire district,
and his appearance at the termini of
his routes was most enliyening occa-
sion. as all the patriarchs of the
neighborhood were on hand daily to
get the news
But the Yankee is an essentially
frugal being, and Dick" as he was
then known, was continually requested
to carry messages from one village to
the other without the necessary post
age tariff. Naturally the Postof1ce
Department began 10 investigate the
decrease in the business, and the re-
suit proved that young Golden was in
deed conducting truly free rural de-
livery. 1t Is needless to add that he
was removed from Office and this
marks the first and only position under
the Government ever held by the come
dian. Shortly afterward he Joined the
circus and there began to apply bust
ness principles which were entirely
in opposition to his methods as a mail
