His wife had a severe headache,
and was sadly in need of quiet, so
husband said he would take their
small daughter to the movies, and for
her to retire early.

was one of the sex-problem plays, the
principal characters uncongenial and
seemingly with good grounds for d.

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-
parently violent outburst of temper on
the part of the feminine star, the little
girls voice again rent the air with

Great Waterspout.

Particulars are published in the Me-
neurological Magazine of a great wa
terspOut that correspondent OBJ
served south of Cape COmorin on a
day when the weather was fine and
the sea smooth. The waterspout
formed between russet-gray cloud
and the sea nearly five miles from the
ship. AT first the distance between
the base of the cloud and the surface
of the sea was 4,6OO feet. and the
width of the column tapered from 500
feet at its juncture with the cloud to
$50 feet at the sea. The vortex ap-
peared to be tube with tapering
sides and central column. The walls
seemed to consist of water moving
downward and the central column of
water ascending. The phenomenon
lasted for 13 minutes; then the walls
appeared to ascend into the cloud.

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

There recently died in Los Angeles,
William Gooding, reputed to be the last
Of the famous 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 a month to fifty days to
cross the continent prior to the estab-
lishment of the pony express, which
began its service April 16, 1859. 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, 1860,
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 as 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, on 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-
quently 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
subduing the wilderness and creating a
great nation.
