THE FIRST CONTINENT

An English captain who had heard that American troops were in France, but as yet had seen none in his sector, passed one night in an abandoned dugout. Hearing movements within it, he at once thought of German spies, drew his pistol and leveled it at the entrance. "Who's in there ?" he called. A flash of white teeth showed in the darkness and soft voice answered, "Dis am de American army, suh."

venient.

SIXTY YEARS From
PONIES TO PLANES
Used to Take Eight Days to
Send Mail From st.
Louis to Frisco

BAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 24-Just go
years ago the pony express which car
fied letters from 81 Louis to San
Trancisco In eight days was inaugu-
rated. Today plans are being made
to establish transcontinental air
plane mail service. and trail blazing
lights have been made as far west as
Omaha. ~
It was great achievement when
the pony express was started to carry
the mail TO the young but busting
state of California in 1860. Its in
angnration was preceded by the pub
location In a st. Louis paper IN March,
OF that year, of the following adver-
lisement.
ITO San Francisco in eight days.
The first carrier of the Pony Express
VIII leave the Missouri river on Tues
day. April and will run regularly
weekly thereafter, carryin9ietter mail
only. Telegraph mail eight days, let
ters ten days to San francisco.
The population of San Francisco
and other California towns eagerly
welcomed this service, bringing them
into touch as 1t did with the states
from which the gold hunters and other
fortune seekers had migrated.
Ten riders going each way, with
changed horses every twenty-five
miles, brought the pouches of mail
across the thousand mile wilderness.
The pony express, with its fast nd
ers, among them Buffalo Bill" (Col.
William r Cody, then a young man,
WIS one of the. most romantic fea-
lures of the great western country.
Many we're the adventures these dar-
ing riders had. They averaged sew
enty five miles day, but often COW
cred double that distance. Buffalo
Bill once made ride of 3S4 miles
when the messenger who was waiting
vas killed. Often chased by Indians
OF "snipedr by outlaws, the pony ex-
press riders were exposed to death at
all times, and they braved rain and
snow storm, as part OF an every day
duty.
= One OF the memorable achievements
OF the pony express was the delivery
OF .Lincoln's Inaugural address in 1861,
when all the western country was
waiting for the momentous news from
the Capital The address was hurried
TO St Joseph. Mo, the taking off
place of the pony express. Wrapped
m OIL skin and put in saddle bags tho
address was started on its way amid
wild cheers. Fresh horses waited at
every ten miles, and the final ten
miles before reaching San Francisco
was made in 81 minutes. The message
was carried by the riders a total of
1850 miles in 1s5 hours, an average
OF little more than ten miles an hour,
That was wonderful in those days.
