They Were the Moat Reckleaa and Daring Jehua Known In Any Age or the World-Noted Character Who Kecelred LnrKc Salaries. California has lind the greatest stage drivers the world has known.. Indeed Huge driving lu Its perfection developed there, says a correspondent. Tho pio neers of the profession enmo hither from Mexico during the gold excite ment. Mexico wus the birthplace of American staging of the wild order imt prevailed for u generation In California, No. add, Idaho, Oregon and Washing ton. For years the Mexican malls had been carried from Vera Cruz on tho gulf coast to the City of Mexico In great, ponderous, nuthiunted Spanish mall coaches, with nue mules In a team and postillion drivers riding the ani mals. There win not a man In all Mexico at the close of the Mexican war who could drive a six-horse team. Then Don Jose Sarntusa got the contract from the government to carry the malls between the City of Mexico and Vera Cruz, and he sent to Troy, N. Y., and; to Concord, N. II., for modern coaches nud to the mountain districts of Mew York and of the South for skillful stage drivers. The chosen Americans came gladly enough, for In those days stage driving was worth only about SIR n month In tho East and South, with short runs and the personnl care of the horses lu tho barn. Don Jose Sarntusa gave 100 a mouth and furnished each American with a native servant or "soto." Tho servant was really an apprentice 'put lu by the wily Mexican don to learn the business from the Americano. Don Jose would Hue his American drivers, but be dared not discharge any of them until tho "sotos" could learn tho trick of manipulating six lines nud managing the great brake with the foot. Iu those days the American drivers caught their llrst fever of recklessness, perhaps from a desire to frighten the trembling "gotos" kiid tho listless Mexican passengers. Nine mules would pull the big stage up oue side of the Itlo 1'rIJo Mountains, and at tho Bumtult the uilddlo four or wing would bt taken out, and down tho other side the smaller team would dash tho great back wheels rough locked with big steel shoes and leaving a streak of lire after them over the rocky road until the descent of the mountain by ulght time became n spec tacular but awful thing, so tcrrlllc was tho pucu which these venturesome American drivers thundered doyyrftuat Mexican mountain with tho flails, Then the gold fover sweptoveijfthe land nnd tho best of tho drivers lljrced into California nnd left tlic "nQtQOto get along as best they could. An American drivers from Mexico ca to the golden West and luaugu; such a staging as tho world has seen elsewhere. The example mk by these men from Mexico became tub cri terion of stage driving. ! Tho oUMImo stago drivers were not the common sort. They were tho poors ,of their fellows. They were tho best paid and best dressed men Ju tho coun try; they wore tho biggest diamonds nud created thp most envy In the mlu Ing camps. Three hundred dollars a month as a salary and perquisites amounting to several hundred more mado tho position oue of considerable Importance Many of them went men of educntlou nnd culture, not a few wero college-bred fellows from tho East. Even when In the later '60s tho salary was reduced to $100 a month the drivers made enough from delivering letters at stations for 25 cents each, at houses for si ench, getting commis sions on nil gold dust carried and per centage oq pnssengers and other things to make largo sums every month. HORSE RESCUED ITS MATE. Told It Master that an Accident Had licfulleu lta Companion. Harry llley, n young farmer living near Woodstown, pastures his horses In a field through which runs a muddy creek. The other day one of the horses came up In a gnllop to tho fence sur rouudlng the house and whinnied loud ly. Then It wheeled about and ran to ward the creek, but no especial atten tion was then paid to It by the family. Again the beast appeared, dashing up over the hllf, nud neighed frantically nt the fence. Farmer Itlley went to the horse and patted It soothingly on the nose, whereupon tho animal seized him by the coat s1eee nnd pulled hi m up against the fence, ns If to haul him over It. The horse soou released Riley nnd then ran a few feet toward the creek, wheeled about nud again came bnck, whlunlng excitedly. The strange actions of the horse final ly convinced Riley that something un usual was the matter, and wheu ho started to follow It the delight of the beast was manifest. The Intelligent animal led Itlley to the bank of the stream, at a spot nearly concealed by bushes, and there In the qulckmlre, with only half Its bead visible, was the other horse, burled and slowly winking out of sight, Itlley quickly summoned the help of neighboring farmers with shovels and ropes, and after several hours of hard work succeeded In extricating tio horse from what would certainly have been Its grave had It not beeu for the Intelli gence and faithfulness of Its mate, Philadelphia Itecord. SHE SOLD SOUVENIRS. Likewise the Man Who Iloug-ut the Lit tle lilt ot Wood. Thoy wero very busy when she en tered the ofllee In Chattanooga,' Tenn., but beauty Is far better for the eyes dfcl mf?i fWd lienr than figures and thty nil dropped their pens arid looked up. "What can I do for you, miss?" said tho confidential clerk, glancing at her stunning gown and picture lint. "I am afraid I am Intruding on your time," she snld sweetly. "Rest assured that you are not." She opened n dainty Utile satchel and brought forth several blocks of wood. "Gentlemen," she snld, "I am selling these souvenirs of Lookout mountain and Chlcknmnuga battlefields for -'." cents ench, the proceeds, after expenses arc deducted, to go to n deserving char ity. These little blocks of wood of course, possess no Intrinsic value, but tho memories they call tipl If you nre Southern gentlemen, and, of course, I know by your nppenrnuco that you are Southern gentlemen, you will think .of tho valor displayed on these Holds by the noble sons of our dear Southland every tlmo you gaze upon these little blocks, nud a feeling of pride In your ancestry and your native land will swell your hearts with pride." How much more she would have said can only bo guessed at, but, of course, they would. The staff of clerks passed up their quarters like small boys before the circus wagon. "Thank you, gentlemen," she snld, bowing herself out. "You have Indeed assisted lu n noblo work." Then ennio Jimmy, tho office boy. "Say, where did you fellows get them little blocks?" he Inquired. "Bought them from n lady." respond ed one. "They nre souvenirs from the battlefields of Lookout Mountain nud Chlcknmnuga." "Did she havo on a pink dress?" "Yes." "Carry n little satchel?" "Yes. Whero did you see her, Jim my?" "Down In Loomls & Hart's furniture factory asking the forcmnn for little blocks. Told htm she wanted them for n child to piny with. Say, you fellows don't know Lookout Mountain sou venirs when you see them. Them blocks come outeu saw logs." As late as tho year 1830 Cleveland had n population of only 1,070. Tho population of Cincinnati lu that year was JM.831. Iu tho days of Louis XII. French princes were considered so precious that they were uot bathed until they were 7 yonrs old. Six years ago there were only five clubs In tho United States Golf Asso ciation. Now there nre twenty-live as sociate and liliO allied clubs. English printers hold n summer pic .nlc wjilch they call n "was goose." Tho word Is four centuries old nud means green goose, or stubble goose. It is generally known to most peoplo that the karri tree, which Is now used so largely lu paving the Loudon sttct'ts, Is the giant tree of western Australia. Publishers havo their grievance by" reason of the war In tho Orient. Mis sionaries In China have canceled orders for 100,000 religious books "- 'ib trouble began. , , "For a penny ouo cnLpKun twenty times us much nourishment lu the shape of'oatmcnl ns cnu bo had lu tho form of beef." Tills has tho tlavor of an oatmeal advertisement. Tho West has been taught somewhat by the Orientals. The Chinese taught us the use of tea and gunpowder. This Inst the early Arab traders used to call Chinese "suow" nud Chinese "suit." The old question of "Where do tho pins go?" bus been nuswered to somu extent. It requires an average of more than 20,000,000 pins per day to sustulu dislocated shirtwaists, replacing miss Ing suspender buttons, and meet the other needs of the American people. Along tho great Trans-Siberian Hall way Line there aro sixteen medical stations, with hospitals for the accom modation of U8-1 persons. There are summer quarters with accommodations for 8,r00 pcrsous and winter quarter for the accommodation of 4,f80 iiernous. The total cost of these buildings umounts to $100,000. Authors still think there Is much lu n name, tiurton, in tus "Atiuiomy or .Mil nuclioly.u snld many years ago: "It Is a kind of policy In these days to prellx a sort of fantastical title to u book which Is to be sold; for, as larks come down to a day-net, tunny vain readers will tnrry and stand gazing like silly pussengers at nu antic picture," Iu one of her letters, now made pub lic, Charlotte Itroute writes: "I have read tho 'Caxtous,' I have looked nl 'Funny Hervey; I think I will uot write what I think of either; should I see you I will speak It. Take a hundred, take a thousand of such works, nud weigh them lu the balance against a page of Thackeray." An automobile that was being driven in Yorkshire, Kuglnud, managed to en gage the attention of two restive hors es. The driver deemed It necessary to put the brake on hard to avoid entan glement with the prancing animals, The result was that the machine es caped oue danger only to meet oue more formidable. The wheels skidded, the motor swerved Into a ditch, and the petroleum vessel set fire to the car, lu a few minutes It was almost unrecog nizable. The owner took the situation philosophically. Ills machine had cost him $3,000. He atked a party of men wo had witnessed the disaster to make a bid for the motor "ns It stood." The respouse was $2, and tho transaction was completed. It Is now said that the purchaser made a good bargain, as the machinery was not much damaged, and could be fitted to another car. tifgap mi Omnibus Transfer COMPANY. Offloe B. W. Cor.
