.Oriainal GaIoshes.

The. fashionable galoshes that are
now Tapping about the ankles of
pretty girls were first introduced in
America about 1880 in Boston. Tie
galoshes or boots were as ugly and
clumsy as they are today, but were
even more popular. They required
peculiar care, as the manufacturers
had little knowledge of the use, OF
rubber gum. In winter they freze
hard and stiff, and had to be thawed
out before they could be worn, and
care had to be taken not to thaw
them too we'll. or they would run into

Overheard at the Movies.

His wife had a severe headache,
and was sadly in need of quiet, so

small daughter to the movies, and for
her to retire early.
It was all one to him, as he had not
consulted any program. and they en-

was one Of the seN-problem plays, the
principal characters uncongenial and
seemingly with good grounds for di-

The little maiden, after time,
caused a litter of laughter among the
audience near her by saying in shrill
little treble: "She doesn't seem to like
married life, does she, papa?'
The play proceeded and after an ap-

the part Of the feminine star, the little

PLAYiNG-CARDS FRENCH IDEA
! lr-.ented to Amuse Melancholy Mon.
arch-What the Suits were
Intended to Represent.

Playing-cards were invented about
the year 1890, in order to amuse
Charles VI, then king Of France, who
was subject to fits Of melancholy.
The inventor proposed to represent
the four classes Of men in the king
dom. The clergy were represented by
hearts, for which reason the Spaniards
used, instead Of neart, copa Or
chalice.
The nobility and military were rep
resented by the points Of spears, and
the Anglo-Saxon ignorance of the
meaning of the figure led to them be-
ing called spades"
Diamonds stood for citizens, mer-
chants and tradespeople, not because
of their connection with the precious
stones, but because the carreauX, the
red marks that appear uten the
cards, were intended to represent the
square stone tiles Of which the houses
of the middle class were built.
The figure we call a "club' was
originally a clover-leaf, and alluded to
peasants and farmers. Spanish cards
bear a stave or basto in liebof the
French clover-leaf. and it is probably
because of this that we refar to the
suit as "clubs."

FREEDOM MUST BE BOUGHT

Freedom is not a gift, but an at-

HELPED TO CREATE NATION
Men Of the Pony Express and ths Over
land Stage Deserve Place on
History's Page.

There recently died in Los .nge,es,
William Gooding, reputed TO be the last
of the famoSs pony express riders.
The present generation knows lit
tie about those pioneer times and the
wonderful way news was carried
across the continent during the ten
years Immediately prior to the build
ing of the Union and Southern Pacific
lines. which met at PromontOry Point,
Utah, in 1868. Mail and newspapers
took from month to fifty days TO
cross the continent prior to the estab-
lishnlent Of the pony express, when
began its service April l6, lS39, re-
ducing the time to ten days. Relay
stations with change of mounts were
established at short distances, depend
ing upon the topography Of the coun-
try, and each rider would ride at top
speed from one to the other, change
horses in trice and go on. Human
endurance was pressed to the limit.
AS an Illustration Of the speed made,
the last message Of President Bu-
chanan to congress, in December, lS6o,
was carried to San Francisco in eight
DAYS and two hours. In 1853 the trans
continental telegraph line was com
pleted and all news thereafter went by
wire except such rs the papers on the
coast clipped from eastern papers
which arrived by mail. When the rail
roads were completed both the pony
express and the later overland stage
went into the discard, remaining, how
ever, Oh short tributary routes for a
number of years, some for many
years. There are many tales told OF
the daring and nerve of those hardy
and courageous drivers of the stages,
passing. as they did, fearlessly through
hostile Indian country and not infre-'
auently suffering death at the hands
of war parties, in spite of the efforts
made by the government to give them
military protection. These are Of the
same character of tales which mark
the progress Of American civilization,
from Plymouth Rock to Seal Rocks, in
sabduing the wilderness and creating
great nation.
