AUTOMOBILE IMPROVES
RURAL MAIL SERVICE
Routes Are Covered in Half Time
Formerly Made by Horse
Delivery.

Washington, D. C.-The advent Of
the automobile has done much to i'm
prove the rural delivery service. In
the past a carrier with route twenty
four miles long has had to give the
better part of the day to his work, as
it took from six to seven hours to
make the rounds. In consequence, IT
he was a farmer, the crops must be
neglected, except for a few hours In
early morning or late in the evening.
But with an automobile or motorcycle
a twenty-four-mile route can be served
in half the time. Men who have here
tofore held aloof from accepting jobs
as rural carriers because of the long
hours are now more eager to enter
the service if they can do the work In
three or four hours or less, leaving the
rest of the day for other employment.
This feature of the extra work is
most important, for rural carrier
cannot grow rich on his years salary
of from 5000 to $1,100. Uncle Sam
does not furnish him with either horses
or vehicle. These he must supply him
self. In some cases it is necessary for
a carrier to have three or four horses.
so that they may be used in relays.
With the high price Of horse feed, the
wear and tear on the wagon. there Is
very little left for the carrier at the
close of the month.
The Postoffice Department grants
tho carriers nermission to use autos or
motorcycles provided they can be used
without interruption for six or eight
months in the year. Under such con-
ditions a new schedule is fixed and
this must be adhered to. Indeed, the
gasolene propelled vehicle is doing
much to lessen complaints of delayed
service from patrons of rural routes.
for it can under many conditions travel
over roads which would stall horse.

HE WAS A LITTLE SHY ON "PEP
Grabbed High Voltage Wire to Ge
Needed lnvigorator.

Martinez, Cal.-Some one whose
identity is not disclosed mentioned in
a casual way to John Lindemann, g.
year-old resident of this place, that
the 11,O00-volt high tension feeder OF
the Pacific Gas & Electric Company
was full of pep" This reminded Lind
emann that he needed some pepper for
a plaster for his chest, so he quietly
hiked out with an AK and chopped of
the wire where it entered the Pacheco
Flour Mills building.
BY some strange trick of fate he
wasn't killed when his ak touched the
wire, and he was about to pick up the
fire.spitting end of the copper strand
when he was pulled away by several
workmen.
Lindemann insisted vigorously that
he wanted to get handful of pep.
and his insistence resulted in his com.
mitment to Agnews Hospital.

HONEYMOON EXPRESS
IN THE PIONEER DAYS
Woman's Death Recalls Time When
Indians Harassed All Who
Crossed the Plains.

Denver, Col.-At her home in this
city there passed away, at the age of
70 years, noble woman who was iden-
tilted with this western country since
her girlhood days. The death Of this
fine pioneer woman is being mourned
by seven children and large circle
of friends. Mrs. Mary Louise House
Scherrer, the deceased, was born in
Utica, NJ Y, but left there with her
parents for Iowa City, Ia, when she
was ~ years old. It was only few
years later that she set out with her
family for Salt Lake City, making the
trip across the plains with an OK
freight train. They reached the city
on the day of the laying Of the corner
stone of the Mormon Temple.
In the fall of 1864 the House family
came to Denver from Salt Lake City.
and the daughter remained in this city
until the following year, when she was
married to Louis Scherrer. Her honey
moon was pent on the plains in trip
made in a covered wagon to Omaha,
Neb.
1t was an unusual honeymoon. The
Indians were on the warpath and the
Government required that companies
of not less than 100 men should be
formed before they were permitted to
pass the federal post at Fort Morgan.
The leader of the band, with which
the bride and her husband made their
trip told the federal authorities when
they reached the fort that their band
was 101 men strong, for he had found
out that Mrs. Scherrer was able to
load and shoot as accurately as any
of the men.
Before the company reached Jules
burg many evidences Of Indian depre-
dations were seen. Ranch houses had
been burned by the score, and near
each scene of battle dead white men
and their red foes were lying on the
ground. When they finally reached
Julesburg they found the Indians had
raided the post two days before and
burned it. The few soldiers who had
been stationed there had been killed
or taken prisoners by the Indians.
On arriving at Omaha they QUILTED
again and crossed the plains with
freight for the United States Govern
ment to old Fort Collins, which at that
time was a Government post occupied
by strong force of troops. In the
fall Mr.. and Mrs. Scherrer returned to
Iowa, locating on farm near Iowa
City. There they remained until 1875,
when they again crossed the plains,
this time with horse teams. They
bought a ranch near Bennett, Col, on
the Kiowa creek, and there Mr.. Scher.
rer died in 1891. His widow removed
to Denver two years later and has
since resided here.

YOUNG DOGS STRANGE FANCY
A Foe Of Cats in General, He Becomes
Friend of Black One


Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.-A lady
living near here tells of young dog
that is a fierce foe to cats. He will
chase them from the house and barn
and should he catch one will bite off
it's tail or inflict bad wounds on its
body. Several stray cats came to
the lady's home, and she took them in
temporarily. Among them was a black
one.
One day the black cat followed the
mistress to the pasture gate. When
the horses were coming pellmell for
their drink the dog stood right over
the cat until the last horse had passed
through the gate, and the dog was
never known to harm his black favor
lite, but seemed to enjoy her company.

healthiest and brainiest children that
are born.
In other words the law of man, as
set up by marriage, licenses and
church rituals happens to harmonic
with the mighty laws of nature, re-
sulting in the sweetest happiness to
the two mates and the greatest
health to their children-the purest
of eugenics. No lassies' nerves
racked to pieces waiting for her lad
die to propose and marry her; no lad
die is told to wait until he has a mil
lion dollars.
Parents as a rule do not interfere
with the natural mating of their chill
dren, and as result of all this there
is seldom divorce or aching heart or
broken home.
If perchance a Scottie has a mate
who becomes i'll, in fact an invalid,
he does not run and leave her, but
stoops down and gathers her up and
waits on her, while his soul is raised
to the heavens. The beast of pas
sion leaves him transplanted with a
higher spirit, sweeter, than all the
other animal instincts. AS his mate
suffers with pain by his side, finally
wastes away until she dies, he strug-
giles on, wishing he could trade
places with her, ready to give his
life's blood to save her. This is what
happens when mates are mated in
tune with nature, which is most true
of the Scotch.-Allen Steven, 1888
