FORCED TO WAIT FOR NEWS
People Got Information Slowly Before
the Invention of the Telegraph
and the wireless"

Today when the latest news OF the
day is flashed all over the world by
wire and wireless, we are apt to
forget the difficulties of gathering
news before telegraphs were in gen.
eral operation. The earliest fast news
courier service of record was reported
by Marco Polo, who relates that Geng-
his Khan, ruler of Chinese Tartary in
the thirteenth century, sent relays of
couriers across the country. covering
about 300 miles each day.
David Hale, manager of the New
York Journal of Commerce from 1927
until some time in the 30's, found his
paper shut out of a gathering
combination, so he organized an indie
pendent service. He first created a
private news boat service, which en-
abled him to scoop all his competitors
in bringing the first news of the French
revolution to this country. During the
exciting period of Jackson's admins
| tration he established horseback eX-
press service from Philadelphia to
New York, which resulted in the insti-
tuition of the celebrated Halifax ex-
press"
Richard Haughton, founder of the
Boston Atlas, used relays of horses to
| gather election news in Massachu-
setts, and he was able to print the
returns of the election of 1880 at 9
o'clock on the morning after election.

DID NOT INVENT TELESCOPE
But GaIileo Was the First to Perceive
Its Possibilities in the Study of
Astronomy.

The name of the man who first
framed and used a telescope for the
observation of the heavenly bodies is
Galileo Galilei, though little known in
that form. 1t was this scientist, who
died January s, 1642, who, 1t may be
said, first gave stability and force to
the theory which places the sun in the
center of the planetary system. In

For a few weeks Mrs Hardin found
the mess tent diverting. Before the
Delta had expanded the capacity of
the camp her soft nook had been over
taxed, her hospitality strained. The
men of the reclamation service, thrown
into temporary inactivity, were eager
TO accept the opportunity created for
another. Failing that other, her zeal
had tagged. Events were moving
quickly at the break; Rickard was abb
sorbed. Mrs. Hardin told herself that
it was the heat she wished to escape !:
not to her own ear did she whisper
that she was following Richard. nor
that the percolator and chafing dish,
her shelves and toy kitchen were a
wasted effort. She kept on good terms
with herself by ignoring self-confi-
dences.
Rickard, the discovery unfolded
slowly, took his meals irregularly. His
breakfast was guIped down before the
women appeared; his dinners where
he found them.

Watch the kidneys. They filter and

Estrada marched on.
Outside the ramada, the two women
met. Gerty's step carried her past
like high-bred horse. Her high heels
cut into the hard sand. There was a
suggestion of prance in her mien. She
waved her hand gayly at the two,
cried, "How hot it is !" and passed on.
Innes saw Richard at his long pine
table used for desk.

JUDGED BY SKILL AT POKER
Qualifications by His Actions
at the Card Table.

After all, there is something to be
learned from cards, even if the aver
age gambler, who plays for the pas
sion of the game and for the money he
expects, does not always learn it. A
Los Angeles business man recently
asked an acquaintance, "What do you
think about Smith? Do you think he
would be good man to take into our
firm?" His friend looked him straight
in the eye and replied, Eyes, think
he'd be a f1rst-class man to tie to and
I'll tell you why. I played poker with
him last night and I discovered that he
plays safe. He is what religious
minded people call good; what eau
tious, conservative people call wise
and What the world in general, espe
cially the bold ones. call a coward
but a man whom nearly every one Sc
cretly respects, envies and almost
fears. He never takes a chance. He
doesn't gamble. When he bets on
hand he's got the cards. When he
doesn't get the cards he lays his hand
down with a smile and waits until
they come to him. and then he plays
'em to the limit. Yes, 1 think he's
safe, all right. He could play with my
money at a card table or in the field
of business. Los Angeles Times.

'tSit down, senora." said Richard to
the brown woman, Maldonado's wife,
"Don't be frightened. We wont let

his Castilian to the reach of her rude
dialect. Familiar as was Rickard with
the poems speech in their own eoun-

story. Lurid words ran past his ears.
Out of the tumble of abuse, of shame
and misery he caught a new note.
"You say Maldonado himself sells

"Ssh, senor!" Someone might hear

The Attraction

1 have a friend in East Africa who
writes from a remote village that he

marked interest in himself shown by
the natives, says the Clubman in Pail
Mall Gazette. First the mayor" in a
much-worn dresscoat and Il fancy red
waistcoat (worn outside the coat) ar
rived and walked round and round the
Englishman at a spot where he was
experimenting the erection of a wire

quested that in the afternoon he
might bring his friends, which he did
to the number of a dozen; and they
like he proceeded to walk round the
soldier, peering curiously into his face
In the evening they returned with
food offerings. And the reason of this
hattering attention turned out to be
a gold tooth, which they imagined

"The story starts well and it sounds
as though we were going to hear some
thing quite new"
Go on, Mr. Gray Fox" said one of
the foxes, ''for we are really becoming
quite inpatient"
81 am so glad you want to hear my
story" said Mr.. Gray Fox, and the
other foxes chuckled and said: "We've
told you many times we wanted to
hear it and we have shown you all
along we did. Pray do not. be so
modest, Mr.. Gray Fox, but tell US the
story of your adventure or narrow es-
cape"
81 will go right ahead with my
story" said Mr.. Gray Fox. Then he
cleared his throat and began:
"Some men who were very fond of
flying and who"
But the foxes had all interrupted.
''A1r. Gray Fox, you said that men
correctly? Didn't you mean to say
birds? Of course we know you said you
were going to tell US something new,
but that does sound a little strange"
"No," said Mr.. Gray Fox, sit is not
strange any more for men to fly. They
are called aviators, these men, and
they fly In the air in machines, just as
people ride in automobiles when they
come to the zoo to call on US.
"These men thought they would like

animal which brings them good luck,
that is, if they decide to have an ami
NAL as a mascot.
''They took me up in the airplane
with them. Oh, did have such a good
time. 1 thought the air was wonder
full and I used to love my trips far up
in the clouds"
All the foxes were looking at Mr..
Gray Fox with their mouths wide
open and their eyes almost popping out
of their heads.
You've had the most wonderful ad-
ventures and experiences ever a fox
did have" they said.
"And when these men had to go to
another country they gave me to the
zoo, though they'll come back for me
again some day. They promised me
that. Yes, I've been up in an airplane
and I loved my trips. too"

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
IN their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infalible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
1avoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of favorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
favorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu.
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
