PONY EXPRESS
Historical Reproduction Of the Means
OF Travel in the Early Days Of Civ
iiization.

One Of the interesting historical repro
auctions with the Pawnee Bill show is
that OF the Western Pony Express. Dur
ing the latter part OF President Bucllan-
ans term of Office the growing demand
for important news. business letters and
eXpressage between the Pacific coast and
the East made It necessary to supplant
the old oxen teams, which it took long
months to make overland stage coach
trips, which, by hard driving and ire
quent and fresh relays if horses brought
the time down to less than thirty days.
This still did not meet the demands of
progress and civilization, and in 1880
the stage coach was succeeded by the
Pony Express. which was only intend
ed Tor light express matter and mail
and by the exhibition Of pure courage
and nerve and the endurance of more
hardslips than any other class of from
tlersmcn, the pony express still further
reduced the time for making this Won
ierflll trip to ten days With the Paw
nee Bill show are some of the men who
rode the pony express and by them is
given true imitation of how it was &C
complished. The rapid change from the
backs Of the horses so as not to lose a
minutes time is an exhilarating and in
teresting sight Relay stations are es-
tabllShed around the arena and the re-
production is true and graphic. Pawnee

Dresden Tex Letter in Memphis Commercial
a good story Of lover that captured

comes from the Twentieth district of this
county II appears that Ed Grief has
been much in love with Miss Ella Francis
for some time. The courtship, however,
was carried on much against the wishes
Of the young lady's parents. For some
six months they had kept their eyes right
upon her at church at school, and at
home. If they were not watching them
selves they had some person always near
whose intention was to keep down the
match.
In that mysterious way known only to
lovers. however. they kept up a CORE
spondcnce with each other, she assuring
him upon every occasion possible that her
heart was still true. Last Sunday morn
ing she conveyed the intelligence to her
loyer that she was going to visit her uncle
in the Hyndsver community and would
likely only be accompanied by her two
brothers. aged fifteen and seventeen
years. This news was sufficient for the
young man and he made preparations ac-
cordingly.
He came t. Dresden and procured the
necessary license. He then secured the
services Of ". ". House, a bosom friend
of his. and posted him near the roadside
where the wagon was TO pass. At the
hour of 10 the wagon came rolling along
and. sure enough, the young lady was in
it, sitting on the trent seat between her
two brothers. As it passed a certain point
he came out Of the bushes, halted it, and
reached for his sweetheart.
The brothers, seeing what was about to
happen. whipped up the mules to make
them pull out of the way, but the young
American had taken the precaution to
build a rail fence just across the road
in front and swung onto the wagon with
an his strength and the team SOON came

SCALING MOUNT M'KINLEY.
How DIR. Cook Planted the Flag on
Top Of That Peak.

From the Narrative u Br. FTt4eIlcd L. 1ook.
In three days after leaving the boat we
explored the glacier up the mountain and
came upon the northeastern ridge of
Mount Mckinley. This was the most
favorable position we had foUQd in three
months for reaching the top, and we had
discovered it after three days work
Here. although snow fell all day. We met
/ the most agreea BILE part of our trip. Be
tween the lurries Of snow we got a view
Of clear sky. During the summer it had
rained necessarily. Under this advantage
OF clear weather we decided to push on.
/ On the fourth day after leaving the boat
We reached the top of the ridge There
we were confronted with a granite cliff
which rose 4,OO0 feet into the air on top
/ Of the ridge. which was 1900 feet high
I We found it difficult to pitch tent, so
/ built a snow house, and slept in that
/ The house was much more satisfactory
/ than the tent, being much warmer.
] on the fifth day we found a way around
/ the cliff by cutting steps in cornices OF
/ ice. We managed to climb 1900 feet this
/ day. Again We had difficulty in finding a
place TO sleep. 1t was too far to return to
/ our lcenOuSet so We cut out places IN TIE
/ ice. wrapped our bags about US and sat
down to sleep. Thus We tried to be happy
! for the night.
on the morning Of the sixth day ]
climbed eco feet That night was the last
comfortable one we spent. From then on
until we reached the top we suffered from
difficult breathing. strong heartbeatS
bleeding from the nose. and slight attacks
| Of snow blindness. but we did not suffer
/ from indigestion. On the seventh day We
made 1900 feet more. We were now very
near the top.
Very early in the morning of the eighth
day we made dash for the top. In our
climb We encountered two peaks. We
chose the southwestern. We reached the
top at 10 o'clock. We intended % stay
there two hours, but actually stayed only
twenty minutes, so great was our SUI
/ fering.
About 200 or 300 feet below the peak We
left a record Of our visit-made gu; of a
pile of stones and an American flag. With
this we left the names of our party
the line of march. the date. and the tenn
peratuTe.
