Here is a story told by Professor Ba
rett Wendell about Dr. William Ever
ett: The latter was going out
Brockton one night to deliver an ad
dress and ran across Mr. Wendell
the Old Park square station. ’‘Conn
along, Wendell,” he said. “1 am goin
out to Brockton to speak, and I waul
some one respectable to sit on the plat
form with me.” So the professor wen
along.
When Everett arose to speak, thf
ball, which was a large one, was onl
passably well filled, and even the com
paratively small number present began
to grow smaller as one by one people
slipped away. Mr. Wendell began
think that Brockton must be a sin
larly cold hearted place when sudden
ly he noticed people coming in by two
and threes and sileufiy taking seat
wherever they could find them. Soon
the hall was full, with standing room
only, but still they came till the aisle:
and walls were liued with interested
listeners.
The supposed deserters had siraplv
gone out and told the people of Brock
ton that here was the greatest man
they’d ever heard and gathered their
in by the score.—Boston Herald.

A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to
rich living to a lucky pun. lie wa.i
tutor to the son of a nobleman and
had not long taken orders when h-
attended the funeral of the rector o
the parish in which the nobleman’!
seat was situated.
The father of his pupil was patron o
the living and was also present at tin
funeral of the deceased rector. There
was a young clergyman present alsc
whose grief was so demonstrative thai
the noble patron was much affected b,
the sight and asked if the young mar
was a son of the deceased gentleman.
‘‘Oh, dear, no. my lord—no relation ai
all,” said the tutor.
“No relation!” exclaimed the noble
man in a surprised tone.
“None, my lord; he is the curate, and
I think he is not weeping for the dead
but for the living.”
His lordship, who was something o!
a wit and a cynic himself, was so do
lighted, with the bonmot that he con
ferred the living upon the ready pun
ster.

TWO FAMOUS EIDERS
STRIKING FEATS OF ENDURANCE IN
THE PIONEER DAYS OF THE WEST.

Aubrey's Ride Was llie Greatest
Physical Achievement Ever Accom
plished In This Country—Frontiers
man Jim Moore's Hard Ride.
The greatest physical achievement
ever accomplished in this country was
the ride of F. X. Aubrey from the
plaza of Santa Fe, N. M., to the Pub
lic square at Independence, Mo., a dis
tance of nearly S00 miles, through a
country inhabited by warlike Indians,
a large part of which was then a san
dy desert. It was about the year
1851 that Aubrey gave his wonderful
test of human endurance, before which
all other attempts of the kind pale
into insignificance. He was a short,
heavy set man. 38 years of age, in the
prime of manhood and strength. His
business for ten years as a Santa Fe
trader had made him perfectly fa
miliar with the trail and all tlie stop
ping places. He was a perfect horse
man, and, although there were great
riders in those days, none of them
cared to dispute the palm with Au
brey.
On a wager of $1,000 he undertook
to ride alone from Santa Fe to Inde
pendence inside of six days. It was
without a thought of fear that he un
dertcok the terrible feat. It was to be
the supreme effort of his life, and he
sent half a dozen of the swiftest horses
ahead, to be stationed at different
points for use in the ride. He left
Santa Fe in a sweeping gallop, and
that was the pace kept up during near
ly every hour of the time until he fell
fainting fiGiu his foam covered horse
in the square at Independence. No
man could keep up with the rider, and
he would have killed every horse in
the west rather than have failed in the
undertaking. It took him just 5 days
and 19 hours to perform the feat, and
it cost the lives of several of his best
horses.
After being carried into a room in the
old hotel at Independence Aubrey lay
for 48 hours in a dead stupor before he
came lo his senses. lie would never
have recovered from the shock had it
not been for his wonderful constitu
tion. The feat was unanimously re
garded by western men as the greatest
exhibition of strength and • endurance
ever known on the plains. ~~
The ride of Jim Moore, a noted fron
tiersman of the pioneer days, is also
worthy of mention. Moore was a man
of almost perfect physique. In fact, by
military standards he was a model.
He weighed 160 pounds, stood 5 feet 10
inches, straight as an arrow, with good
neck well set on his shoulders, small
waist, but good loins, and bad the limbs
of a thoroughbred. No finer looking
man physically ever rode a broncho
than Jim Moore, ne could run like an
Indian, was as active as a panther, the
best natured man in the world, but as
courageous as a lion.
In the early sixties Moore was a pony
express rider. His route was from
Midway station, half way between
Fort Kearney and Cottonwood Springs,
to Julesburg, a distance of 140 miles.
Moore rode the round trip of 2S0 miles
once a week. The stations were from
10 to 14 miles apart, and a fresh horse
of Spanish blood was obtained at each
station. There was litlle delay in these
changes of horses, as the rider gave the
‘coyote yell” half a mile away, and,
day or night, the station men had the
pony ready, so that the rider bad only
to dismount from one horse and mount
the other, and with a dig of the spurs
he was on a run again. This ride of
140 miles usually was made in 12 hours.
On each route there were two express
iders, one going each way. As easy as
it may seem to some for a man to be
stride fresh horse after horse for 140
miles, there were few men able to
stand up to it.
Upon the occasion of which I am to
speak Moore’s route partner had been
ailing, nnd Moore was anticipating and
dreading tbnt be might have to double
the route. In this anticipation he real
ized that there is a time limit to endur
ance, and therefore he gave the bron
chos a little more of the steel than
usual and made the trip to Julesburg
in 11 hours. Arriving at Julesburg, he
had his fears confirmed. His partner
was in bed. lie had hoped that he
might have a few hours for rest, but
before be had time to dismount and
stretch his cramped and tired muscles
the "ccyote yell” of the east going rid
er was heard.
He drank some cold coffee, filled his
pocket with cold meat and was in tlie
saddle again for another 140 mile ride.
In order to be able to live the route out
he sent them for all there was in them,
with the result that he arrived at Mid-
ay. after having ridden 280 miles, in
hours from the time he had left
there. Ben Holliday gave him a gold
watch and a certificate of his remark
able performance. Many of the old
frontiersmen now living knew Moore,
knew of his 280 mile ride in 22 hours
and have seen the watch and certifi
cate.—Spirit of the Times.
