MOSCOW, September 17.-Senator
14add of North Dakota was among
the spectators yesterday at q review
of several thousand cadets, mostly
sons Of worlzmen and peasants, who
are to become units in the regular
army and the territorial army which
Russia is building up.
The calets were graduated from
various military academies yester-
day. They now become junior Off
GERS in the army, which previously
has been dependent either on volun-
fcers from among the old cZarist Off
GERS or briefly trained junior officers
chosen from the ranks. The cadets
are known as red kursants The
artillery and engineers course in the
academies is four years and that of
the infantry and cavalry three years.
Senator William III. King of Utah

of n slight illness. He may not be
able to leave Moscow with the others
of his party, who have been in
vestigating conditions in Russia,

will always be one.
In that connection a story is told
that when Cal became Governor of

tell newspaper correspondents that
Cal always chose her hats for her.

In spite of a lifetime habit of
silence, which is so strong that he
finds il quite impossible TO make
impromptu speeches, Cal Coolidge
brought with him to the Presidency

The people of Northampton do not
worship Cal as so many communities
do their successful sons, but they re-
spect him and are fond of him in
somewhat the manner that parents
care for child they cannot wholly
understand. When you ask any one
in Northampton what he honestly
thinks of Cal he'll invariably answer:
And he's democratic. Always speaks

yes, he's a fine feller! But Mrs. Cool

The Pony Express riders did some
wonderful riding, but, as a matter of
fact the record performance in that
age and country of hard-riding horse
men-it is probably the record of all
history-was the ride of F. Y. Aubrey
in 1851 from the plaza of Santa Fe, n.
NJ, to the public square of %Independ-
ence, Mo-, a distance of about 800 miles
across a sandy desert infested by hos
tile Indians in five days and 10 hours.
Aubrey rode alone, killed several of his
best horses. was never off a fast gallop
during the whole ride, fell fainting
from his saddle, lay in a stupor for As
hours, and walked up none the worse,
with a wager of $1,000 won.
Some Record Rides.
Buffalo Bill was the boy Wonder"
of the Pony Express. He began in
April, 1860, at the age of fourteen. He
first rode 45 miles out of Julesburg.
with the stations Is miles apart and
three changes of horses. After two
months he was assigned to a 76-mile run
between Red Buttes IN the North Platte
to the Three Crossings of the Sweet
water-a bad Indian country. One day
he galloped into Three Crossings, his
home station, and found that his relief
had been killed. So he rode on to
Rocky Ridge, S5 miles away, and made
the round trip of 800 miles without a
mishap and on time-a record perform
nnce. Shortly afterward the Indians
killed so many riders and drove Off so
many ponies that the Pony Express
had to be discontinued while wild
Bill" Hickok (who once single-handed
killed ten desperadoes), young Cody
and forty men chased the Indians four
days ride into the hills and returned
with their own horses and 100 Indian
ponies-and several scalps.
Robert (Pony Bob) Haslam at the
time of the Piute war In Nevada mo
vember of 1900 made an
ride of $50 miles Of desert route, with
one rest of nine hours, within four
hours of schedule time. Then after n
rest of 90 minutes. he went on to cover
his own route.
James Moore had a run Of 40 miles
htlOtN MtEA1lh NNb VII Oilt run
he made the distance In II hours, and
without rest went back in the same
time-2s0 miles in 90 hours.
The Pony Express deserves immor-

daring. pluck, endurance and efficiency.

American Urge for Speed.
The Pony Express route was 1,966
miles. The first express u of st.
Joseph made the trip in ten days.
Later the time was reduced to an av-
erage Of nine days. The news of Fort
Sumter was carried in eight days and
Ia hours. Buchanan's last message
was rushed across in seven days and
10 hours. Lincoln's inaugural address
| placed the record at seven days and
| II hours.
The riders were young, light and
picked men of character under solemn
pledge of good behavior. Each carried
revolver and bowie knife. The letters
were on tissue paper. the two mail
pouches never weighed over 20 pounds,
and the postage was 50 a letter in ad-
vance. The riders were paid about
$125 a month. The horses were usual
ly half-breed California mustangs,
many of them unbroken.
The Pony Express riders rode ESQ.,
600 miles and lost n mail. The serv-
Ice terminated with the completion of
the tra%nscontinental telegraph line Oc-
tober "a, 1861.
The Pony Express lasted eighteen
months, took in 100000 and paid out
100000. What is more, it was never
expected TO pay. What, then, was its
why and wherefore? There is no room
here to explain in detail.
One factor, of course, vas the we'll
known American urge for speed. The
discovery of gold in 1S4S peopled Cali
fornia almost over night. BY 1850
there were two great bodies of Ameri-
cans separated by 1000 miles. Most of
the mail went by way of Panama,
twenty-five days from New York to
San Francisco. A railroad was "the
hunger, the prayer, the hope" Of every
settler west of the Missouri.
Breaking Trail for Rail.
The prewar struggle between the
North and South was the big factor.
The South, being the stronger In con-
gress, plgeon-holed in 1855 n bill for a
government subsidized Pony Express
over the Central route"-St. Joseph,
Fort Kearney, Fort Laramie, South
Pass, Salt Lake City and Sacramento.
In 1853 congress let a mail contract by
stage over the Southern Route"-Fort
Smith, FL Phso, Tucson-2,760 miles
on n 25-day schedule. Northerners.
with an eye to the coming transcon-
~tInental railroad. countered by estnb-
fishing the Pony Express 10 demon
strate that the Central Route was
open the year round. Then came the
Civil war, with the North in control Of
congress. The mail service was trans
ferred to the Central Route Then
came the railroad.
SO the why and wherefore Of the
Pony Express OF 1S60-61 was largely TO
break the trail owe the Central
Route" for the railroad of 1870.

An entirely new washing principle or
method distinguishes the ROTAREX from
all other clothes washers. The suds are
drawn into the self-reversing, new type,
rotating cylinder through the ends and from
beneath the scum-covered surface of the
water. The revolving surface or wall oyer
which the clothes drag has no holes for the
clothes to drag over; friction and wear of
the clothes are eliminated, while the action
of oscillating, vacuum and rotary washers
is combined in the agitation of clothes and
suds.
