Happiness of Americans
Impressed on Visitors

The first characteristic Of the Amer
lean people Is their happiness. The
visitor feels himself In the presence
of a race with keen zest for life,
sure confidence in the future, and
much enjoyment of things as they are.
The American Is more highly strung
than the northern European, and In
most cases this does not seem to lead
to pessimism or a morbid condition.
The impression of happiness is COM
mon to all classes. The people in the
streets, in the shops, in the hotels, the
lift man, the bellhop, the telephone
operator--all are gay.
No doubt there Is material basis
for this. A double income for wage
Garner means more than twice the
amount Of amenities and enjoyment.
The old orthodox tenent of European
civilization, that "money does not
bring happiness" is probably only a
modern adaptation OF Aesop's fable
OF the fox and the grapes.
Vast wealth does not bring happl-
ess; but that small margin OF spare
money after necessities have been pro-
vlded for constitutes in America the
structure OF what is definitely a larger
life. In the United States this larger
llfe-or rather, larger share Of life In
Its natural and rlghtful balances en-
joyed by an lncomparably greater num-
Der than In any other country in the

him proved the undoing of one OF the
most desperate bandits and gunner in
the old Northwest.
Curry's stretch OF the road was
miles of sandy trail north of Baraboo.
lie drove coaches over this route from
1850 until the Ghieagod& North West
ern railroad extended Its line from
Kilbourn to Baraboo In 1871. During
the last nine years of this period he
owned the stage coach line, but con-
tinued'to drive through the bad Sec
tion.
In the late COS the entire country
side lived In fear of Pat Wildrick, one
OF the most noted bandits In the MS
tory of the American frontier. Pat
was leader of II band of lawless men
who stopped to any crime to do his
bidding. Ia Hsl6
BarnboO was already thriving COM
munity, and the railroad line ran to
Kilbourn.. Curry's stnge coach line
made Its chief revenue by carrying
money from the railhead at Kilbourn
to towns along the route, but princiT
pally to the bank at Baraboo. The
people trusted Curry so greatly that
they never thought of having their
packages of money insured, and many
a farmer or housewife would turn
money over to MN after stopping MS
coach along the road, ana nave MN
pay their bills. or buy things for them
at kilbourn or Baraboo.
Curry received 90 cents for each
$1,000 cash he transported across the
country. one night ne was handeu
$l2,OOO to be carried to the Terreil
Thomas bank at Baraboo. Just as he
was leaving two strangers crawied IN
to the stage coach, sat In the rear
seats ana conversed In whispers.
AS the stage crossed the river and
entered a section thick with pine
woods, the two strangers continued TO
talk In low tones.
Curry recalled that Pat Wildrick
and his gang some time before had at.
tackled s. 8. Gates and his wife near
the same spot, and while the nuthori
ties were hunting Pat, a pal of the
bandit chief had murdered Gntes at
this same spot on the road.
Curry whipped up his horses, fully
convinced that besides the $l2,OOO In
cash he was carrying two OF Pats
bandit gang. lie expected to be at.
Tackled ut any moment.
Arriving at Baraboo, Curry breathed
sigh Of relief. There he learned
that the two strangers were law-abid
ing persons, who talked low as n mat
ter of habit.
The entire countryside was uneasy
when Pat was at large, and Curry was
constantly on the lookout for the
bandit.
Pat once escaped from the BarabOo
jail. and posses searched the woods
for miles around for him. AS Curry
drove his stage coach peacefully along
the road near 0schner park, he spled
the bandit leader hiding In the woods.
