There are few of the pony express
riders living today. Frey, the first
rider out of st. Joseph, weighed only
125 pounds, but he was one of the
bravest men who ever sat on q horse.
After the Civil war broke out he en-
listed as a scout aud was killed in 1863
in a fight with a company of Arkansas
rangers. He killed five men in a hand
to-hand encounter before he was shot
and mortally wounded.
Buffalo Bill was the most famous
of the riders in later years. His
route embraced a ride of 70 miles
on the north fork of the Platte through
a region infested with road agents and
hostile Indians. The route was a long
and extremely dangerous one. Once,
after his T5-mile ride. he found the
next rider dead and scalped by Indians.
and he continued on the trail for SIS
miles farther on schedule time. He
then turned back and rode the en-
tire distance again, making a contin-
nous ride of 230 miles without rest
at an average speed of Is miles an
hour. This is one of the most extra
ordinary rides in history. Another
that was even more unusual, however.
was made by Robert Haslam. known
as Pony Bob, who covered $50 miles
without resting when a station had
been burned and another rider killed
by the Indians.

Thorndyke, who knows bees from stem

census takers have to do Is count the
hives.
Even if they did have to number
each bee, IL wouldn't be so bad" he
said. Some men could count them
one by one and never have to use q

on whether the bees were a~ristocratfc

discretion is the better part Of valor.s
Girls with perfume and men who
use hair oil, smelly pomades or scented
talcum better get out of the way when
ever they see a bee coming, Mr..
T~horndyke says. He has a theory that
the little honey-makers just naturally
dislike certain odors. When a bee likes
an odor it noses right in TO gather
raw material for its manufacturinx
plant, but it turns it's back on dis
agreeable smells. And when a bee
turns its back, somebody is liable to

Bees have domestic troubles, too.

Foul brood is something like sum-

but more devastating. 1t comes from
impure food given during the period Of
incubation.
The adult bees are not bothered by
the disease, as they thrive whether the
larder contains good food or bad. But
when the queen bee gets sick. then the
physical strain of weakness ultimately
affects the whole hive.

n NE of the most sensational
" developments of frontier
days in the far west was the
establishment in 1859 of the
fast pony express line between
the Missouri river and Califor-
mia, by which it was possible to
send dispatches from any city
in the union to San Francisco
in eight days. The idea was
not a new one, for history re-
lates that General Khan, of
Tartary and China, originated
the pony express centuries be-
fore the American Indians had
come into possession of horses
from the Spaniards. Marco
Polo wrote that he had stations
every Is miles, and that his
riders occasionally covered as
much as 300 miles in q day.
The same system was in use in
various parts of Europe at diff
ferent times before the rail-
roads came into being. In con-
nection with the conquest of
western America, few frontier
enterprises can be compared
with the pony express in the
matter of public Importance.
The enterprise was launched
and financed by William H.
Russell, the best known west
ern freighting man of that day
and a leading citizen of Leav-
enworth, Kansas, which in the sos
and early COS was the most important
Missouri river town in Kansas. Rus
sell was an organizer of great abll-
ity. and as soon as he had determined
to carry out his ambitious project he
began quietly buying in California,
Iowa and Missouri hundreds of horses
of the type best suited to the work.
Horse flesh in the SOS was valuable
and many of the animals he bought
cost as much as 5000. The utmost
secrecy was maintained, and when,
after only four months work, he pub
lisbed in the New York Herald and
the Missouri Republican of St. Louis
an advertisement announcing the es-
Establishment of the fast pony express,
the news created a sensation through
out the nation. The advertisement,
published March %, 1860, was as fol-
