OLD-TIMER RECALLS |Type of Home Building That Will STAGE COACH DAYS Appeal to Family of Small Means Sayg 72 Miles 8 Hour* Wat Hard Work Olncler Park, Mont.—Jack nrown, veteran Glacier park guide, used to “ drive" on a western stagecoach line In the days o f horse drawn vehicles and be gives some Interesting Infer- matte about life In the West lu those days. He saya: “ When I come to Montuna It was a territory and travel, of course, was all either by horseback or by the old horse stagecoach. All those coaches were Concords, drawn by six horses. We lived on the ol<l Holiday Hue. The couches ran night nnd duy from Helena to Corrlne, Utah. As a boy I used to mingle with the drivers a goo«! deal and when I was twelve years old I could pull the ribbons on a six better’n a green hnnd. Changed Horse* Often. “ My flrst Job at stage driving was on the old Allard line In 18U1. We used to mnke the round trip, Ravalli to Poison landing, which was seven ty-two miles. In eight and one-hulf hours. We changed horses four Ilmen. That may look slow to automobile drivers today, but when you've sat perched up on one o f thoae high coaches that distance and handled six horses that are nearly all bronchos, you'll find that the motorist a* a wheel has a pretty easy time of It “ I never wns held up while driving stage, but I've had m.v piano players up several times In my life In tht West and I know how It goes. I know that It's an occasion whstt oven s woman wouldn't argue much. “ One time when driving stage I hud a lady riding up on top with me. nnd •he said: 'Mister Driver, how Is It you've got such a ruddy complexion T I Just kicked a bottle o f Old Crow from under a mall sack at my feet and said: There's the paint I use, lady.' It was rather a chilly day and I found that I bad to paint her fare several times before we got In. It Just showed that all good drinking people In the West In those days weren't stage drivers. However, all good stnge drivers were good drinking men. Seemed like It was the quali fications to drink, hold yer head nnd the hossea, as they used to say face tiously. Horses Still Have Place. “ Of course, the horse Is out of date now In most place«, but I still find lots' o f places In the old West where a good saddle horse Is the best means o f travel. Rad roads and trails bnve no terrors for the old cow pony. We had some good ones in the old cattle days In Montana. I rode one horwe elghty-two miles In one day once. I guess even Tedily Roosevelt would've admitted thnt was too much for one horse, but when the sheriff don't like a fellow It makes It necessary to leave lots of country behind you. I made that ride In nine hours. I sup pose the motorist o f toduy would laugh at that as slow, driving, but I swear I thought I got along at a live ly clip. “ In the earlier frontier days of freer personal liberties the cnwpnnrhera didn't think anything of riding forty miles across country to s dance. And we took the girls along with us. Guess they must’ ve b«*en tough girls, because I know now. when guiding tourists through Glacier Park In the summer time, after some of 'em have ridden nine miles they’ re ready to eat their supper ofTn the mantel. But, then, these are automobile riding days and not mnny people are used to hors* back riding.“ This attractive colonial home Is distinctive without being extreme; II bears the test of good taste, right principles.
