HAS CARRIED U. S. MAIL FAR.
Vermont Carrier Has Ridden 125, 600
Miles in Sixteen Years.

Bennington, Vt.-ThOmas HallOran,
of this town, has just completed his
sixteenth year as carrier Of the gov
ernment mails, after making 5,OO6
trips, each % miles long. This makes
his total mileage a little over 125.O00.
HalloTan was appointed to the serv-
ice in December, 1889. Since January,
1890, he has covered his route in all
weathers every day but Sunday, and
the trip is no joke when the thermOm-
eter is 80 or 40 degrees below zero.
Halloran drives two horses on alter
nate days, and as he keeps Sunday
after the old-fashioned New England
idea, the man and beasts have always
been in the pink of condition. Only
twice has the carrier been i'll enough
to trust his mail pouch to a substitute,
and each of these sicknesses lasted
only one day. Thus out of 5,008 trips
he has lost but two. Halloran attrib-
utes his good health to his outside
work, and says he doesn't know what
it is to be bothered with a cold or
any of the petty ills that attack indoor
folk.
If Halloran had kept on in a straight
line instead of making the small circle
about the town he would have en-
