REAL PONY RIDER
TELLS Of ROUTE


ers across the continent while it
establishes a number Of facts and
brings out a great deal of interest
among those who knew something
Of this work in the early history Of
the west, especially Nevada, it Is
essentially a Victory Highway move
ment, as the original trail is not fol
lowed and the riders did not take
the original course or ride that
was conducted by the boys more
than half a century ago. On the
contrary many towns enroute were
not on the map, sections that are
along the Victory highway were not
even heard of. The great sand flats
that the original riders trayersed are
entirely eliminated and cities and
towns that became famed in the
early day Of pony riders were left
entirely out of the mapping.
Not Through Reno
Take the trip from Wadsworth TO
Reno for instance. There was no
Reno at the time, in fact Washoe
City was the county seat of Washoe
county and Reno was known as
Truckee Meadows or a section of it.
The race goes through Reno and
then on to Carson in a Strengthened
out road. Just why they did not
send the riders via Auburn and
completely disguise the route is not
known, probably Placerville was too
well known in history, book lore and
routing to stand for such treatment
The ride has been a record breaker
and some excellent work has been
done, but to place the ride as that
of revival of the pony days is alb
out of tune.
Real Rider Here
William Edgon Vanblaricom, who
makes his home at Saltwater, this
county, was one of the boys who
piloted pony express and mail across
the state of Nevada and rode the
route. While he is rs years of age
he is still alert to all things and his
memory is just as keen as the day
he was riding across country to de-
liver precious messages and valu-
ables.
Started Young
Being born in Wisconsin he moved
with the family to Kansas during
1856 and there witnessed the first
pony express riding and at once be-
came enthused over the life. At ID
years of age he was given his first
pony and for a number of years, or
until the transcontinental railroad
put the riders out of business, he
continued in the game.
His first ride was on the Overland
route from Ash Hollow to Deer
Creek. From time to time he was
moved, riding into Rock City and
from there to Devil Gate, Wyoming.
The route extended into Utah, the
next station being Echo Canyon.
Fifty Mile Ride
Each pony rider was supposed to
cover about fifty miles and the
schedule was about eight hours. In
case of delay or sickness of the
other rider it was not unusual to
make 80 miles without rest. 1t was
a question of get there on time,
which every rider was expected to
DO.

Nerve

When we say some one has nerve"
or that it takes nerve" to do some
things we are speaking in figura-
tive and not a literal way. just as we
do when we say His heart is broken"
his blood boils." or his palm itches."
There is no such thing as working
or living or keeping up on ones
nerve" in the common figurative sense
of the term. that is, expending energy
which arises in some mysterious
manner from the nervous system,
produces energy.
There Is no such thing as nervous
tension" either. If there Is any ten
sion involved, II is quite as accurately
described as blood tension or arterial
tension or kidney or heart or pancre-
attic tension. Picking on the nerves
as the offending structure Is simply
playing on popular credulity.
There is no such thing as a nerve
builder in the shape of medicine or
food or any combination of medicine
and food. Notwithstanding the fact
that 3,000-or is 1t 30.000-physicians
have signed testimonials TO the effect
that well disguised cottage cheese
mixed with some inert mineral salt
is a nerve builder, this notion is pure
hokum.
The only good excuse for the use
of the term nervous breakdown" Is
as an alibi, and as an alibi it can't
be beaten. The judge himself believes

in 1t and seldom fails to approve it.
Speaking of judges. it is just about
nip and tuck whether the medical
profession as a whole is the more
gullible in matters of business, or the
legal profession in matters of medi-
cine and health. Some Of the inquiries

funny that i dare not print them in
this column lest / be accused of in
vention. A shrewd lawyer is agre-
giously gullible when a skillful char
latan takes him in hand. He makes
the doctor who, buys phony mine
stock look like a. a.piker.
Since no energy is produced by the
nervous system it is quite obvious
that the favorite idea of the tired

Work is the one thing which folks
who incline to nervous exha austion''
positively will not do. If they could
be persuaded to do a little honest
work every. day, just an hour or
two. II would prove a steadying in
fuence upon temperamental nerves"
Unused muscles are often miStak en-
for nerves" Flabbiness, laziness and
slack regularly masquerade as ten
sion.''
There are two great reasons for
nervousness" One is an attempt to
convince ones self there Is nothing
radically wrong with ones health or
habits. The other is desire to
avoid or evade life'S responsibilities
by hiding in funkhole.

minute. Then he nervously looked
this way and that way. He knew
what these things meant. He knew
that Mother Bear had bitten out that
piece from the trunk of the tree.
and, standing up, had made those
great claw marks. He knew that she
knew that he had been climbing that
tree. He knew that those marks were
message meant especially for him.
He understood that message. IT was
warning. 1t was a warning to keep
out of that tree. 1t was a warning
to keep away from that part of the
Green Forest. He knew that if he
failed to heed that warning, Mother
Bear would catch him sooner or later.
He didn't like to think of what would
happen if she did. He was big for
his age. He was strong. But Mother
Bear was bigger and stronger. and
love for those new babies would make
her very fierce and angry.
Boxer angrily dug his own claws
into the trunk of that tree, then
turned and shuffied away. And as he
shuftied along he kept turning his
head from side to side and looking
behind him. He didn't feel easy until
he had reached another part of the
Green Forest far from that big hem
lock tree and the old windfall.
I'll go back there!" he kept say
ing over and over. ''Ill go back there
whenever i please! She needn't think
Sho CdH VI I've IHc away L VIC SOI Just
as many rights in the Green Forest
as she has. I'll go back there if |
want to, and she cannot stop me-"
Now this was idle boasting. Down
in his heart Boxer knew it. He knew
that he wouldn't go back there. He
knew that he didn't dare go back
there. Anyway, he wouldn't dare go
back there until he was big enough to
make claw marks as high up on that
tree as Mother Bears. He was heed
less and headstrong, but he was wise
enough to know that it would be
the most foolish thing he could do not
to heed that message.
