THE MAIL MAN: COURIER

Did 1t ever occur to you that your
city letter carrier. your village post
master or your rural route carrier has
a past?
He Is the agent by which the long
arm of Uncle Sam taps your shoulder
one. two. maybe three times day. yet
he is so unobtrusive that you probably
do not know him half so well as most
other agents OF your government. the
school teacher or the policeman, for
example.
But he not only is an essential. but
a historic figure. The history of the

road where the relay of one runner by
another was effected; thus they named
our system long before it was born.
The first letter post seems to have
existed in the Hanse towns in the
thirteenth century in order to facili-
tate relations between the merchants
of the various members of the Han
seattle League.
The British post office had its he
ginning In the sixteenth century. and
our own colonial methods of handling
mail were inherited from our British
forefathers. Long before the people
had any means of exchanging either
personal or official letters, the king had
established system of conveying his
personal messages and official docu-
ments by royal messengers. In the
reign of King John that petulant mon
arch paid out large. sum for postal
service and charged it to the house
hold and wardrobe accounts. Messen-
gers who were thus entrusted with
matters of state had to be above sus-
picion. TREY went the whole dis
lance and were paid according to the
length, and danger of their journeys.
In 1898 New England proposed 10
the British sovereign that postofiice
system be established in the colonies

necessary" His majesty paid no at-
tention to the plea, but Richard Fair

ADRIANOPLE: A WEATHER
VANE OF EMPIRES

Entry of Greek troops into Adrlano-
pie is an event In secular history fairly
comparable to the investiture of
Jerusalem by Allenby's army. for this
Turkish city has for nearly 1000 years
been a weatheivane of world poll
tics.
The rebuilding of the ancient Thra-
clan town of Hadrinn, who gave 1t
his name, signalized high point in
the power of the Roman empire. The
decline of Rome was foreshadowed
some two centuries later when the
Goths defeated valens there and made
their first break through the Roman
frontier.
Next Adrianople was the setting for
the Turks advent into Europe. There
Murud |. established himself, planned
the capture of Constantinople. and
sent out expeditions to subdue various
Christian peoples. For time the
European capital of the sultans, Adri-
anople was relegated 10 he the chief
bulwark of Constantinople. There
Turk first met Say, and there the
Russians finally forced their way to

loosened the Turkish hold on the
Caucasus and compelled recognition of
the Independence of Greece.
Adrianople is on tile Martha
Hebrus of Grecian legend. where Or
pheus was dismembered by the Thra-
clan women; also celebrated. under its
later name, In Bulgarian song and
story. 1t is 137 miles by rail north
west of Constantinople.
Today the city wears Its past glory
with IA sort of shabby gentility, with
no pretension of prosperity but less
squalor than the usual Turkish city.
1t possesses the grave of the first
Murad, or Amurath, who was assassi-
mated In his tent after he had van
qulshed an army of Christian allies on
the field of KOssovo.
A mosque bearing the name Of Sui
tan Baiezid recalls that monarch,
whose first official act was to order the
execution of his brother, who was first
ottoman ruler to call himself sultan
and whose conquests finally were
checked when lie was taken prisoner
by Tamerlane.
But the architectural masterpiece of
Adrianople is the Selimieh, product
of Greek tribute-bOy's genius. and
relic of the reign of SeIim II, the Louis
Nv of Turkey.
Yearly the Turks would seize GER
tain number of sons of their Christian
subjects. and In Sinan they found
they had acquired a skilled bridge
builder. They allowed him to follow
his bent, and the Shahzadeh at Con
stantinople, the Suleiman at Stambou;
and the third famed mosque at Adri-
anople were given to posterity. The
Selmieh stands upon the highest hill
in Adranople and four lofty minarets
tower far above a massive dome.

the wiry, twenty-year-old Johnnie Frey,
as he dashed away on his Jet black
steed for the first lap of the race of
flesh, blood and determination against
the desolate spaces Of an unpeopled
country.
These riders were clad in buckskin
shirts, ordinary trousers, high boots
and soft slouch hats, and were armed
with sheath knives, Colts revolvers
and Spencer carbines. The best time
they made across the trackless waste
was In carrying President Lincoln's
inaugural speech to San Francisco

TACNA AND AFRICA: SIA-

Tacna and africa The words are

ample reason why these two South

The trouble over this region arose
originally from the fact that. IN the
days of the early Spanish settlers, the
country was so vast that few hun
dred square miles more or less made
no difference In the affairs Of the col
ony. and when the co.onies organized
themselves into republics they still
were TOO busy with their internal prob

boundaries began and where they end

as indicated by the numerous bound
AIRY questions which have been in dis

So matters drifted until the middle

formerly ignored region. The guano

nitrate. What friends could he ex-

Since that time the Peru-Chlle-Bolivia
