HE KNOWS BETTER NOW.
lie had a dimple in lier cheek,
A IJ. I 1 was lost in admiration.
The thine. I know, is not unique.
Ami in si nne people's estimation
A mere depression of the skin,
A sort of inverse of a pimple;
But, all the same. I can't begin
To tell you how 1 loved that dimple.
I loved to watch the lady smile;
It was supreme, tin - satisfaction
With which 1 looked upon her while
Her dimpled check got into action ;
I never knew what tilings she wore,
What frock or hat or hood or wimple,
I was contented to adore
Her fascinating little dimple.
Alas! in course of time I learned
That cozy restiing place for Cupid
Had been into the muscle (turned
Or cut —which 1 consider stupid.
It caught ine fairly, that 1 own,
But now I'm not so young or simple
And dermatologists have shown
Me liow a girl can get a dimple.
THE AMERICAN HEN. I
Importance of the Barnyard Bird as a Factor
in American Life.
Probably the principle interest felt
in the egg industry by the average
American citizen lies in the fact that
within the last six weeks eggs have
been working up front about 30 cents
a dozen for the best quality to close to
40 cents to the purchasing consumer.
This, however, is not paying the
American hen the respect that is her
due. She is not only an important
but a wonderfully potential factor of
the agricultural industry of the Unit
ed States. Yet even the average farm
er considers her almost beneath bis
notice. He leaves her to the women
and children, and begrudges her al
most everything that makes even the
slightest inroad upon his ordinary
crop products. To her is assigned the
" stunt" of providing her own living,
and she must do that by gleaning
every regular harvest. After he has
dug and garnered and threshed and
closed his account with each particu
lar item of production—provided lie
keeps such an account—the ben can
find her subsistence in what he has
overlooked.
In other words, the poultry yard, to
a great extent, is somewhat contempt
uously regarded as a mere incident of
his general business. Sometimes his
wife or one of his children will take
hold of that neglected branch and
put him to shame by making it the
most profitable feature of the whole
establishment. Yet a delver in cen
sus returns working for the Brooklyn
Eagle informs us that last year the
poultry and eggs produced and eaten
in the United States were worth more
than all the gold and silver mined
in the world during the same year.
Except for the year 1900, the egg pro
duct of this country has exceeded in
value that of its combined gold and
silver output for every year since 1855,
which takes in the entire bonanza
period of our history, That, with the
poultry product, also exceeds in value
the wheat crop of twenty-eight of the
most fruitful States and Territories.
Reduced to concrete terms, in 1889
the egg record of this country was
1,290,000,000 dozen. There are thirty
dozen to a crate, and 400 crates to a
car, so a train of cars sufficient to
accommodate the transportation of
all these crates would reach from Chi
cago to Washiugton, a distance of 868
miles, and then there would remain
several cars of eggs to spare. In 1900
lowa produced 99,000,000 dozen and
Ohio 91,000,000, having a value of
over $10,000,000 for each State. Of
course the incubator has considerable
to do with poultry production, but
incubators do not lay eggs. In a sin
gle year the value of the eggs and
poultry of the country has been as
high as $280,000,000.
Think what a hullabaloo has been
raised over threatened ruin to beet
sugar and wool. How much burning
breath has been expended by the
lobbyist and the political spellbinder
in appeals for higher tariffs and pro
, tests against reciprocity propositions.
Yet, in 1902 our whole sugar produc
tion amounted to only about $20,000,-
PQO, while the wool industry is only
about a third as important as the egg
and poultry industry. It is only in
quite recent years that we have
thought it worth while to impose a
duty on foreign eggs, and when it did
come it was rather to make the sched
ule symmetrical than because of any
agitation or any conviction that it was
necessary. There is no danger of glut
ting the market. Farmers are ne
glecting a great opportunity. In a
summary of recent reports to the
State Board of Agriculture they gen
erally confessed it, yet, acknowledging
the expedient, they still the inexpe
dient pursue.
"Aye, Eye, Sir."
During the bombardment of Alex
andria, in 1882, Lord Charles Seres
ford asked a gunner if he could hit a
man who was on the fort. The gun
ner replied:
" Aye,aye, sir!"
"Then hit him in the eye," said
Lord Seresford.
He was surprised when the gunner
inquired.
" Which eye, sir?"
"Hew to the Line, Let the Chips Fall "Where they May."
THE TONY EXPRESS
FIRST STEP SHORTENING DIS
TANCE ACROSS CONTINENT.
The Start Was Made April 3d, 1860, Over a
Route 1,<}50 Miles in Length Between St.
Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento. Cat Mail
Weight Limited to 20 Pounds—Letter Rate
Was $5 Per Hall-Ounce—Stations 25 Miles
Miles Apart—Route Covered in Eight Days
—4OO Station Keepers—Bo Riders and 500
Horses Employed -Supplanted by Telegraph
in About 26 Months, Having Cost $700,000
or $200,000 More Than the Revenue.
The Pony Express was one of the
incidental steps in the progress of ra
pid news communication and financial
exchanges between California and the
East. Gold was discovered in Califor"
ilia on January 11), 18-18, anil that
event caused a rapid inllux of popula
tion. It was the first State admitted
to the Union in the entire western
half of this country. But communi
cation was slow, both for mails and
freight. A Pacific railroad was merely
a dream of the future, as was a trans
continental telegraph line. In the
later fiO's, when the political skies were
darkening with the clouds of the com
ing civil war, there were three freight
ing and stage lines from tho then
western frontier to California. How
ever, the mails and the bulk of the
freight business was done across the
Isthmus of Panama—by steamer from
New York to Aspinwall, now re named
Colon; thence by tho Panama Rail
road, opened in 1855, to Panama, and
thence by Pacific steamers to San
Francisco. The best time by this
route for the mails was 22 days.
Of the overland freighting lines, the
main one followed what was then
known as the " Central Route," going
across the plains, through South Pass
and Salt Lake City, to Sacramento,
thence by boat to San Francisco.
From the time of the admission of
California as a State the demand for
more rapid mail transit grew with her
increasing business interests.
In 1855, a bill was introduced in
Congress by Senator Gwio, of Califor
nia, to pay a subsidy of not to exceed 1
$5,000 for a round trip for a weekly
mail over the Central Route between
St. Louis and San Francisco. The bill
went to the committee on Military
Affairs, and was never beard of after
wards. But in the latter part of 1859,
the freighting firm of Russell, Majors
& Waddell, who were running a line of
freight wagons overland from St. Jos
eph to Sacramento, were induced, by
the efforts of Senator Gwin, to under
take a letter express, the Senator's ar
gument being that, if they would dem
onstrate the feasibility of steady com
munication, summer and winter, on a
schedule shorter than the 22 days via
Panama, a contract could be obtained
from the government for handling
virtually all of the transcontinental
letter mail.
The above named firm could see no
money in the project as an independ
ent proposition, but went into it as a
speculation, in the hope of obtaining a
government contract which would re
coup the inevitable losses. They in
corporated the " Central Overland
California and Pike's Peak Express
company," taking in their General
Superintendent, B. F. Ficklin, and
three employes, to make up the statu
tory number of incorporators. This
new company took over the firm's
stage line from Atchison to Salt Lake
City, and purchased the Chorpenning
mail contract and stage outfit, which
was operating a monthly line between
Salt Lake City and Sacramento. The
new company also purchased the fran
chise and equipment of a company
operating a daily stage line between
Leavenworth and Denver. All this
was done to secure stations on the pro
jected express line. The new letter
express did not take the place of these
stage and mail lines, which were oper
ated independently of it.
The letter express plan, as it was
carried out, contemplated a mail line
on horseback between St. Joseph and
Sacramento, 1,950 miles. At the lat
ter city the mail was transferred to a
waiting steamer, and was taken as
speedily as possible to San Francisco,
which was the business terminus.
This service was called the " l'ony Ex
press," in popular parlance—for a horse
was called a " pony" anywhere west of
the Missouri in those days. To start
the service, GO wiry and fearless young
men were employed as riders, there
were 100 station keepers in addition
to those at the already established
stage stations, and 420 strong, wiry
horses were purchased.
The start was made on April 3,1860,
at the same hour eastward from Han
Francisco via Hacramento, and west
ward from St. Joseph, Mo. The route
was announced to pass, from tho latter
town " through Forts Kearney, Lara
mie and Bridger, Great Salt Lake
City, Camp Floyd, Carson City, the
Washoe silver mines, Placervillo aDd
Sacramento."
OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 11, 1904
The mail carried was limited to 20
pounds; but this weight was rarely
reached. It was carried in a peculiar
leather arrangement, which li tied
closely down o:t the saddle, with slits
made to lit over the horn and tree of
the saddles, which were all alike. On
this were four leather pockets, two on
each side, one in front and one behind
the rider's legs. All were locked. One
was for way-mail, to which eaclt sta
tion-keeper had a key, and in which
was a way-bill, on which the time of
arrival and departure were recorded.
The other three could be opened only
at military posts, and at Salt Lake
City. This ipiadruplcx saddle-bug was
transferred from horse to horse, and
from ridor to rider, along the entire
route, uutil it reached the other end
of the line.
Everybody knows Hint the present
rate of letter postage is two cents " for
each ounce, or fraction thereof." The
rate at first by the l'ouy Express was
#5 per half ounce. As a consequence
letters were written on thin, tough
paper, so as not to exceed the half
ounce limit. Large sums of money
were carried, but always in the form
of drafts or bank notes. Certain East
ern newspapers got out special issues
on tissue paper—but theso were more
to show enterprise than anything else,
for few people were able to pay sls to
S2O postage on a single newspaper
The rate was later reduced to $2.50
per half ounce.
The original plan was to have sta
tions, with fresh horses, every 25 miles.
The rider who started from St. Joseph
(or Sacramento; mounted his horse at
the appointed moment. Accuracy in
this was needful, because (so far as the
St. Joseph rider was concerned) the
time of departure wai widely adver
tised in the East, and be could not
start earlier than the minute which
had been reported to the business
world. For example, the first start
was made westward at 4 r. M., on Tues
day, April 3, ltsCO, immediately on the
arrival of the train and mail from the
Eaet over the Hannibal A St. Joe
railroad. A ferry boat was in waiting
—-to carry tha mail " saddlebags"
across the Missouri, whero the Pony
Express rider took charge and started
westward. The first express left St.
Joseph at 6:30 P.M., April 3. It ar
rived in San Francisco at 1 A. M. April
14.
The original plan was to have its
stations 25 miles apart. The rider
went these 25 miles on one horse.
When he reached the station, a second
horse,saddled and bridled, was waiting.
He lifted his mail saddlebags to the
second horse, and started off, not a
half minute being lost in the transfer.
A second transfer of the same kind
was made at the second station, 50
miles ont. At the third station—7s
miles—the rider transferred his mail
saddlebags, and so it went across the
continent, east and west.
At Placerville and Carson City were
the eastern termini of the telegraph
lines from San Francisco. There was
wild excitement in the latter city
when the telegraph flashed a summary
of general news, only nine days old,
instead of 22 days, the shortest possible
time by tbe Panama route, up to that
time the quickest. Tbe California
people, especially the business men,
went wild. At Sacramento the whole
city turned out with bands and cannon
to greet tbe rider. The only time lost
was enough to deliver the mail for
that city; then the carrier was hus
tled on board a waiting steamer, and
hurried to San Francisco, which was
reached at 1 A. M., April 14,1800. A
huge procession of citizens, with the
fire department, escorted the messen
ger from the wharf to the office of the
Alta Telegraph, the end of his journey.
The distance from St. Joseph, Mo.,
to Sacramento, Cal., by the Pony Ex
press route, is 1,950 miles, which was
covered in a schedule time of eight
days, as against 22 days by the Pan
ama route. Tbe shortest time ever
made by tbe Pony Express was in the
delivery of President Lincoln's inau
gural address, made on March 4,18(51.
Special arrangements were made for
this, because the whole Pacific coast
was interested in knowing what the
new President had to say on secession
and tbe preservation of the Union.
Extra ponies were at hand every ten
miles, and tbe 1,950 miles from St.
Joseph to Sacramento were covered in
7 days, 19 hours—the quickest time
the Pony Express every made.
The exigencies of the service soon
led to changes, due to the character
of the country. The distances be
tween stations were shortened, wher
ever it developed that the natural ob
stacles were too great to make the best
time. The original schedule provided
for an average rate of eighteen miles
an hour. Eventually this was cut to
ten miles per hour. Tbe improve
ment of tbe service, in the interests of
fast time, called for a better equip
ment wben tbe Pony Express got into
perfect working order when it had
front St. Joseph to Sacramento, I'JD
station, 20(1 station keepers, 200 assis
tant station-keepers, 80 riders, and 500
horses, to cover the 1,050 miles be
tween Sacramento ami St. Joseph, at
distances averaging 200 miles there
were division agents to provide for
emergencies.
The lifo of the Pony Express was
short. It began on April 3. LSfiO,
with a weekly service. From June 10,
of the same year, it was twice a week.
Virtually no aid was extended to the
line, except the issue of government
revolvers and cartridges to the riders.
When the first telegraph line across
the continent was completed—that of
the Pacific Telegraph company, Oct.
24. 1801—the Pony Express passed
on: of existence. In its Bixteen
months of existence, it cost, for equip
ment, $1,000,000; for maintenance,
$30,000 per month ; for expenses due
to the Nevada Indian war, $75,000;
other incidental expenses, $15,000.
This total is $700,000. The total re
ceipts were less than $500,000, leaving
a net loss of over $200,000.
This article is already too long to
describe tlio Indian lighting which
was incidental to the Pony Express
service. Many of the riders were
killed by Indians on tho war-path.
VV. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) was for a
short time in his early manhood, one
of the riders, and in his autobiography
he tells in succinct diction, his ex
periences. But, for the one man who
escaped the Indians, there were a
do/.en who fell before them. To them,
tho men who fell in doing their duty,
let us give honor.
ONE SECRET OF JAP SUCCESS.
Tht Health of the Soldier is a Matter of the
Greatest Importance.
Tho Japanese army engaged in shoot
ing the Russians is teaching the rest
of the world how to live. The great
lesson of this war is that death from
disease incident to campaigning can
be prevented. Major Louis Seamen, a
military medical man back from
Japan, read a paper before the Asso
ciation of Military Surgeons at St.
Louis lately that contained some
marvelous information. When Japan
began to prepare for fighting the
greatest attention was paid to the
medical department. A great Japan
ese medical authority said the Rus
sians may put 2,(100,000 in the field.
Many of them will die of army life dis
eases. Japan will put 500,000 men in
tho field. None will die from other
diseases than collisions in battle.
Up to July 1 there were no diseases
in the Japanese army. There were no
typhoid or other intestinal diseases
that marked the camps of Alger,
Chickamauga and Miami during the
Spanish-American war. During our
war with Spain seventy per cent, of
tbe'soldiera that perished died from
diseases. Two hundred and sixty men
were killed, and 3,862 died in camps.
Up to July 1 the proportion of Jap
anese soldiers dying from disease to
those killed was two per cent. The
Japanese have abolished sickness from
tbe army.
They did it, Dr. Seameu says, by
testing all water to be used for drink
ing. The soldiers were lectured on
the proper foods to eat. The smallest
squad has a portable bath. So thor
ough are the Japanese that the sol
diers are directed to keep their finger
nails closely pared and clean.
Of the thousand returned wounded
to Tokio before July 1 not one died.
There are no fever camps, as there
were in this country six years ago.
Thus, Japan saves all her troops for
the bullet. The " silent foe," says the
military observer, claims nono.
The peaceful nations can learn
from Japan that disease is a matter of
neglect.
Parson's Joke.
A well known Chicago clergyman
who is a widower and the father of
two charming grown daughters is also
something of a wag. During his va
cation this summer he sent the fol
lowing telegram to his daughter:
"Have just married a widow with
six children. Will be home to-nior
row."
The next day he arrived alone and
found his daughters in tears.
" W-where is the w-widow?" they
.sobbed in unison.
" Oh," he replied, a merry twinkle
in his eye, " I married her to another
man."

Councilmen Gill and Benjamin of
Seattle, who enjoyed—perhaps—a fast
ride of ten miles down a mountain
road on a handcar, can now have some
idea as to the sensation caused to the
mau who is compelled to ride in a Se
attle patrol wagon, mayhap for the
first time.
A worthless cur was sentenced by
Judge Tallman, in Seattle, recently,
to imprisonment for five years, coupled

have received the same sentence.

Wenatchee's citizens that a reader of

Long may the Portland Oregonian

family did not take the weekly Oregon

poor, and they were in intellect, if not
financially. And where can you find
another paper in tbe United States or
Europe to surpass it.
It's a shame and a disgrace the way
everybody conspires to rob a rich man.
An (Jlympia man, who as the old say
ing goes, " has nion6y to throw at the
birds," gave a party at his house re
cently, and to amuse his guests ordered
a quartet. And would you believe it,
if four singers didn't crowd into the
room and sing, and the Olvmpia man
had to pay all four of them, and, mind
you, dear reader, he only ordered one
solitary quartet. That's the way the
rich are swindled every day of their
lives. Isn't this a shame?
There are places in this country
where a great deal of classic music is
played. To any one but a doctor of
music the performance is caviare. He
hears no tune, distinguishes 110 move
ment, he looks in vain for any theme
and he can see no connection and no
beauty. Yet the house is crowded
with the very people who, if they were
to devote a lifetime to it, could not
understand a note of it. We once
passed an evening with so called
classic music at a church concert,
three or four years ago. The profes
sor took his seat at the piano and he
pounded the instrument with a force
that would have done great credit to
the striking ability of James Jetl'ries.
All of the music down on the pro
gramme was " classical'" Several peo
ple seated near us applauded every
time tho professor finished. "O, it
was just grand," we heard a woman
say. Now these same persons had no
more idea of classical music than
Mead had of becoming Governor of
Washington. If you had asked them
about Beethoven, Wagner, List* or
Rubenstcin, they ooulJ not to have
saved their lives told you anything
about them; but instead, perhaps
asked you " What logging camp are
they working in?" The more the pro
fessor hammered away the louder was
the applause. Classical musical con
certs to us are " trashical" ones.
JUSTICE PROCEDURE
HOW That Court Maintains Its Dignity in Cook
County, 111.
The following amusing article re
ferring to the inviolability of proce
dure by which Cook county Justice of
the Peace administer their law is from
the Chicago Tribune. In the case
cited the attorney for the defendant
said right out that if the case were
continued he would appear again, and
continue to appear until the ca?e
should be tried. Now it is not usual
in Cook county for Justices of the
Peace to render judgments in which
defendants appear, either in person or
by counsel. If there is an appearance
for the defense the case is continued,
and if the defense puts in an appear
ance on the day stated, the case is
again continued. This process of con
tinuing the case is kept up until there
is no appearance, when the justice
proceeds to render judgment according
to the law and the facts as he alone
understands them, and as be only can
understand them, unhampered by con
tentious couusel or fractious defen
dant. It is evident that had our
worthy justice allowed counsel contu
maciously to carry out hia announced
purpose, the traditions of the court
would havo been upset, and the land
marks of justice court law have been
destroyed, bo the learned justice, de
termined that the established practice
of bis court should not be violated,
took up the docket, read the number
of the case in question and said:
"Case dismissed, as I will not try a
case in which opposing counsel ap
pears." Thus the time-honored pro
cedure ef justice courts in Cook coun
ty, Illinois, was vindicated! Comment
ing on this Late Notes says: The Chi
cago Tribune, for which we have hith
erto had a great deal of respect, does
not take kindly to this ruling, which
it criticises most captiously, and even
irreverently. It says that "it was
when the irou had entered into his
soul and had become eeceedingly hot"
that the justice " forged from it this
thunderbolt of law." But this only
goes to show how little mere news
paper men know about the law and
proper administration of the law. Es
pecially does it show how little the
justice court system and the justices
themselves are appreciated at their
true value by some. The Chicago Tri
bnne simply got beyond its depth.
The fact is that a justice of the peace
has such profound knowledge of the
law that he had uo need of the assist
ance of counsel. What if Chief Jus
tice Marshall never decided a case
until he had heard it argued by coun
sel on both sides, believing that law
yers who had thoroughly studied and
prepared a case about which he knew
very little, could aid him in deciding
it justly and correctly? Chief Justice
Marshall was not a justice of the
peace. As a justice of the peace has
no need of instruction in the law,
so neither has he need of information
as to the facts of a case. He usually
knows the facts too. His is an all
comprehending mind. His is not the
dullness which Juvenal satirized, of
"clodpate judges" before whom plead
ers "must their vitals strain." Our
own particular J. P. whom the C/ii
cago Tribune does such scant justice,
seems even to be superior to the aver
age. Some justices, most likely
through complaisance, will take testi
mony on both sides, and listen to
counsel. But our justice is wiser than
these. His presumedly vast learning
no doubt embraced a knowledge of the
plight of the old man whom Ennius
represents as saying after he had con
sulted three lawyers concerning the
validity of his son's marriage. " Now
I ant more uncertain than ever." Our
justice was too wise to take any un
necessary chances. We wonder if our
learned justice follows the precedent
set by Pantagruel, who, when called
upon to decide the case of Kissbreech
r. buckfist, first destroyed all the
papers on the ground that they were
" truth-entangling." We respectfully
suggest the plan for his consideration.
It is with very great diffidence that
we offer —presume to offer—sugges
tions to this exemplar of jnstices, but
if the boldness may bo lorgiven, or at
ileast overlooked, we should twggest
that he abolish the service upon de
fendants of process—original process.
What is the use of serving as sum
mons anyway? A plaintiff states his
case, the justice kuows all about the
facts and the law, he enters judgment,
and there is an end to the matter, ex
cept, of course, the execution. There
is no use in bothering the defendant
until then—in harassing a poor debtor
unnecessarily. But we know that a
justice of the peace, particularly our
'justice, is wiser than we, and this is
I merely suggested for what it is worth.

THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL.
Much ha* been written about "the Amer
ican girl" and her reasons for being ]>re-
eminently the nio-t
attractive girl iti
the world. In
bringing up git la
mothers can't be
too careful to let
their daughters de
velop all their nat
ural charms to the
utmost.
The crucial epoch
of a woman's life
is the change from
maidenhood to
womanhood. It
involves the whole
body and manifests
itself in the nerv
ous disposition at this time.
Nervous or sick women are afforded the
opportunity of a lifetime, for the makers
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
ofTer jffrw reward for women who cannot
be cured. Backed up by over a third of a
century of remarkable and uniform cures,
a record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in offering to pay *SOO in legal money
of the United States for any case of f,ett
corrliea. Female Weakness Prolapsus, or
Falling of the Womb, which they cannot
cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable
trial of their means of cure.
"I cannot prai«e your medicine highlv
enough," writes Mrs. Jennie Hippenhamer, of
Huntertown. Indiana. "I began taking I)r.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and took it stead
ily for six months. I was not <utce sick at stom
ach. never vomited once. Took the 'Favorite
Prescription' three times a day and when in
severe pain took an extra teaspoonful of medi
cine which checked the pain. I felt pleasant all
the time and did not get nervous as I used to.
When my baby girl came last August she was
healthy. She is now eleven months old. Am
thirty-eight years old and never got through so
easily in all my life. Why should women suffer
when they can get through so easily? I am
able to do quite a washing and ironing which I
could not do for eight years before."
As a tonic for women who are nervous,
sleepless, worn-out and run-down, "Fa
vorite Prescription " is unequaled.
For constipation, the true, scientific cure
is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Mild,
harmless, yet sure. No other pill can
compare with them.
