THE OMAHA' SUNDAY BKE: FEBRUARY '21, 1909. I Talks oi Tccih Oy Dr. E. R. L. Murphy Good Teeth for All How often beautiful face will b marred by bad teeth. To people afflict! with bad teeth. Iocs teth or missing teeth. Dr. Murphy's Al veolar Method of restoring- missing teeth without platea or ordinary brldgework la a boon and a blessing, for Alveolar Teeth ara Perfect Teeth. Br means of this remarkable Invention, owned by us, known as the Dr. Murphy "Alveolar Method," we are able to re store missing teeth and place them In the Jaws so perfectly that no one, not even yourself, could tell where nature's teeth left off and Alveolar teeth began. "We follow nature's plan and set each tooth la Its m socket. This work la painless, BO emtttnff e boring Into the . gams. If you are a victim of pyorrhea, com monly known as Hire's disease (loosen ing of the teeth and sore and bleeding gums), ws have a message for you. By our method we are able to tighten your loose teeth and our your sore gums; It la a simple method and not In the least discomforting. By a plan of adhesion we are enabled to make each tooth solid, and a preparation Of our own discovery does the work of curing the diseased condi tions of the gums. We can prove this to ' you In one sitting in our office. It is a very dlffloult matter to explain the Aveolar Method of restoring missing teeth without the use of plates or ordinary bridge work at long range or in the brief apace nf a newspaper advertisement If people would only come to our offices and talk with us they would soon be convinced that we could do all that we claim we can do. ' The Alveolar Method deserves to be heralded abroad, for It is a blessing and A life-saver. It costs no more than a first olass dentist would have to charge, but because It la so radically different from anything ever before offered It must be made known to, toothless humanity through the medium of advertising. ,' We examine and diagnose all cases which come to our offices entirely with out cost or obligation. , If you are unable to come now, send for our Free Book, Alveolar Dentistry, which explains the method In detail a most valuable treatise on teeth.

President Roosevelt's horseback ride from Washington to Warrenton, Vs., and back, a distance of ninety-eight miles. In seventeen hours. Is considered a notably good one for a man of 80 years. It was not so much a try for a record as a reply to army officers who criticised the president's order requiring officers to cover fifty miles In three days. There are on record many rides by army officers, which overshadows that of Presi dent Roosevelt. Five years ago, last July, General Miles rode horseback from Fort Reno to Fort Bill, ninety miles away, In nine hours and ten minutes. Ths trip was mads to prove that General Miles at the age of retirement, 64 years, was still m good physical condition. On the trip the general had nine mounts. Captain Bayres of the Eighth cavalry made the trip with him. Forty minutes after reaching Fort 8111, General Miles reviewed ' the troops there, and showed no signs of being tired. Here are a few of the notable distance rides by American horsemen, mostly army men, taken at random from the Ust'oom plled by Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Ayrault Dodge: In 1ST several single couriers rode from Thornburg'a "rat hole" with news of that officer's danger to General Merrltt's column, a distance of 170 miles, vrtilch each courier covered In leas than twenty-four hours. Colonel Lawton rode from Red C)jud agency, Nebraska, to Sidney Station. Ne braska, with dispatches for General Crook In twenty-six hours. The distance was 128 miles. That was In 1876. Captain Fountain's feevf. In 1881, Captain Fountain of the Eighth cavalry rode eighty-four miles In eight hours and 110 miles in twenty-three hours. while two troopers of the Eighth, bearing dispatches, covered 1MT miles In twenty hours. Rides of from 120 to 1R) miles within the day and the night, saya Colonel Dodge, have been mads repeatedly by ordinary United States troop horses, when not spe cially prepared for the work, and over very bad ground, and, as a rule, the animals have not been Injured by the test. Thlrty-slx years ago Colonel Mackensls rode his oommand Into Mexico after Lpan and Kickapoo Indians, defeated them In a sharp fight, and returned across tbs border, making 146 miles and winning a battle, ail within twenty-eight hours. The following year Colonel Mackensls rode into Mexico again, this tlms In pursuit of a band 01 horse thieves, and covered eighty-five miles In fifteen hours. In averaging these rides of regiment or troops, the fact must not be lost sight of that a large body of horse men, carrying equipments and in column formation cannot begin to get over tne ground so rapidly as a group of three or four riders without luggage of any sort. Four man of Company IwFlrJl.(5vairy, carried dispatches from Fort Harney 10 Fort Warner in 1870. Their time was eigh teen and a half hours, and the distance was Is) miles. . twenty of it through deep sand. But the horses were in such good oondition that, after one day's rest, the troopers started back and made the return trip at the rate of alxty miles a day. Lieutenant Wood, with a troop 01 tne same regiment, did seventy miles In twelve hours In 187. and Captain Dodgs. that same year, rode his troop eighty miles in sixteen hours. Captain Fechet In command of Troops F and O of ths Eighth cavairy, ion r on Tatea on a December midnight in 18M and reached Bitting Bull's camp, forty-five mllea away, at 7:10 o'clock In the morning. Then the troopers dispersed the Indians in a skirmish, rescued the survivors of ths band which had killed Bitting Bull, scouted the country a dletAnce of ten mile beyond, and then rode to camp at Oak creek, covering, all told, a distance of eighty-five mllea, be sides f IghUng the Indians, in fourteen hours. General Merritt, In 1Si. with four troops of cavalry, and hampered by a battalion of infantry In wagona, rode 170 miles to the relief of Payne in sixty-six ana one-nan hours and reached his destination In prime oondition and ready to go at once Into a fight Few Treope. Jos Huea General Guy V. Henry rode 106 miles In S3 hours with four' troops in 1SS0. The actual riding time was twenty-two hours. There were between S00 and 400 men in that column, and with ths exception of one horse that tell dead at the end of the Journey troopers and animals were fit to take the return ride after a day's rest. There are numerous cases on record of entire regiments of cavalry making long continuous marches at the rate of alxty miles a day. Colonel Henry, an expert on distance riding, used to say that after a month's hardening of men and horses by Callv rides of from fifteen to twenty miles a day, a cavalry command could easily cover from fifty to sixty miles a day for an indefinite period, and oould, in an emer gency, do 100 miles without hardship. For the purpose of seasoning tbs men and their mounts. General Miles once organised a systsm of pursuits on ths plains. A raid Ing party, so-called, consisting of about twenty men, was sent out from a fort or camp, and eighteen hours later an equal number of troopers were sent out to catch them. One of the rules was that the fugitives should rest six hours after riding eighteen and to halt again for twelve hours, after riding twelve. Pursuers could ride "go as you please," but were ordered not to tn Jure their horses by too hard a pace. This was. In one sense only, play. That is, there waa no spur of compulsion to save life or turn the tide of a battle. Neverthe less, the results were creditable to men and animals. One of these pursuits began en September IT, W7, when Lieutenant Scott of the Sixth oavalry. with twenty-five troopers, rode away from Fort Stanton as a fleeing band of raiders. Eighteen hours later twenty-seven pursuers, under Lieu tenant Pershing, set out on the trail, and captured the first detachment after rid Ing 130 miles In thlrty-slx hours. On another pursuit twenty-two men covered 171 miles In forty-two hours. Colonel Dodgs seems to take the ability of the United States cavalrymen to spend many consecutive hours in the saddle and to ride many miles without a halt as a matter et course. He cites most of his cases principally to show the remarkable endurance of the very ordinary sort of horses the government provides for Its mounted troops. A description of one hard ride in pur suit of a deserting first sergeant, who had stolen his company's funds. Is given la detail to show how the most was got out of the animals with the minimum risk of over taxing them. "We left the poet at Fort Reno, L T.. at IM p. sV said Captain A. B. Wood of ths Fourth cavalry, who was la command of the absconding geant's eight pursuers. "The day Was hot; lead, faMvtoel ba o Defoe me, X ttoPrac Co not posh the an'.mals very bard for the first twenty-five mllea, which distance we had covered by p. m. This brought us to Knngflaher creek, where we' halted for one hour unsaddled, got something to eat, let the horse, roll and grass, then groomed their backs and legs, saddled and started again at T p. m. "We walked for thirty minutes, trotted fifty minutes and then dismounted and rested ten minutes; mounted snd went at the trot for fifty minutes, dismounted, and walked ten minutes. This rotation of fifty minute trotting periods and ten-minute rests was kept up until midnight, when there waa a twenty-minute halt, followed by the same rotation until 4: JO a. m., when there waa a halt for one hour's sleep. An other grooming of tegs and backs followed the sleep and then the grind was resumed." Tne ISO-Mile Ride Completed. . And so it went, until after thirty-one hours, all told, the troopers reached Ar kansas City, 1M ml.es from camp. What happened to the dishonest deserter does not appear In the record "At that time," continued Captain Wood, 'our mounts were purchased In Missouri and Kansas, The horse I rode waa 11 years old; the others were a lit tie younger. All the horses except one were In good condi tion on our return. That one had been made unserviceable by bad riding. The trooper who had him was not a very good horseman and rode too heavily forward. I tried to correct him. but It is Impossible to teach ail the niceties of horsemanship on a trip luce mat. u was tne naraest ride I ever had." Borne of the famous rides by westerners not in the army occurred in Ban Fran cisco, whsre N. H. Mo wry. with relays of many horses, did W0 miles in fourteen hours on a race track In 1868. Ten years before that J. Powers made ISO miles In six . hours and forty-three minutes, and there is a tradition that a rider named Anderson covered -1,304 miles In ninety hours. Among the pony express riders, F. X. Aubrey undoubtedly held the record. On a wager of tl.OOO he undertook to ride from Sante Fe to Independence, Missouri, a dis tance of 800 miles, inside of six days. He did It in five days and nineteen hours. He had a dosen fresh horses waiting for htm at different points along the line, and cov ered most of the distance, at a gallop. Jim Moore rode a mall route from Mid way station to Juleaburg, a distance of 140 mil. a It waa his regular custom to maks the round trip of 280 miles once a wesk. On one occasion ths other rider on that route, was 111. and to keep th sche dule unimpaired, Moore not only did dou ble duty, but in less than half ths time he usually took for his wsek's work. He rode the 180 miles In twenty-two hours. President Lincoln's first Inaugural mas sage waa carried from St. Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento, Oal., a distance of 1,980 miles. in seven days and sevsnteen hours. Ths news of the firing on Fort Bumtsr was carried from Bt Joseph to Denver, about 675 mllea. In sixty-nine hours, the riders riding night and day, stopping only to Changs ponies, the time allowance for which diversion was about two minutea. That was in the days of ths old "pony sxpress," some of the riders of which made records that still stand. Jack Keetly, for Instance, has a record of 140 miles, without rest or sleep, in thirty-one hours and Jim Moor bas a record of 380 miles in fourteen hours and forty-six sec onds. Bill James had a 60-mlle route and made the round trip, 120 miles, in twelve hours, and seldom came In more than a few seconds off schedule time. The sche dule of the old "pony express" called for something like 260 miles every twenty hour and the riders usually mads It. RARE TRIBUTE TO LOVED ONE Leavf from s Tender Knloary Penned hr the Late J. terllns; Merteaw Writing of Arbor lodge and Its founder In the February Issue of Country Life In America, Paul Morton, son of the great Nebraskan, says: "I know of nothing that better illustrates my father's private character than an edi torial which he wrote and published - in the Conservative a short time before the untime ly death of my brother Carl. The fact that both the author and the two loved ones of whom he so tenderly wrote have passed to the Great Beyond Imparts to this beauti ful passage a moat exquisite pathos: " Tt was a bright, balmy morning in April more than a quarter 6f a century ago. The sun was nursing ths young grass into verdure, and ths prairie was Just be ginning to put off its winter coat of sombre colorings. Tranquil skies and 'morning mists were redolent at Arbor Lodge of com ing resurrection of the foliage and flowers that died the autumn before. All about the cottage home there waa. hope and peace; and everywhere the signs ot woman's watchful love and tidy care, when, sud denly, toned with affectionate solioltude, rang outi "Carl, Carl I" but bo answer came. Downstairs, upstairs, at the barn, even in the well, everywhere, the mother's voice called anxiously, again and again. But the silence, menacing and frightening, was unbroken by an answer from the lost boy. At last, however, he was found be hind the smoke house, busily digging in the ground with a small spads, though only t years of age, and be said: "I'm too busy to talk. I'm planting an orchard," and sure enough, he had sst out a tiny seedling apple tree, a small oottonwood and a little elm. Ths delighted mother clasped htm In her arms, kissed him, and said: "This orchard must not be destroyed." "And so now I hear the muffled tramp of years , Coins stealing up the slopes of Time; They bear a train of smiles and tears Of burning hopes and dreams sublime. " The child's orchard Is mors thsn thirty years of age. The cotton wood Is a giant now, and Its vibrant foliage talks, summer after summer, in the evening breese with human-like voice, and tells Its life story to the graceful, swaying elm near by, while the gnarled and scrubby little apple tree, shaped, aa to Its head, like a despondent toadstool, stands in dual shade, and bears small sweet apples, year after year, In all humility. . But that orchard must not bs destroyed. It was estab lihed by tbs young est tree planter who ever planted in this tree planter's state, and for his sake and the memory ot the sweet soul who nursed and loved him. It lives and grows, one Cot tonwood, oae apple tree, one elm. But O, for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still. - Tne memories mat live ana bloom In trees, that whisper of the loved and lost in summer leaves, are as Imperishable as the seasons of the year immortal as the love of a mother.'

HOT PACE OF THE CENTUBT Everything is on the Move on Land, Ben end Air Some ' Reee.t Sports that Are Top notehere. The twentieth century is ths age of speed. Before Its dawn ths world Jogged nlong at a paltry sixty miles an hour and boasted that It was going faster than antediluvian stage coaches and sailing ships. Then man woke up and realised that he was losing time. He became ashsmed of his slowness. A feverish desire to catch up snd hustle and get there boiled In his veins. Ha smashed the old machines and made sur prising new ones calculated to devour dis tance on sea, land and la the upper air. At the sams time he groomed himself to surpass athletic records and his horse to better the gait of tedious epochs. Now sven Father Time has an anxious worried look as the wind stiffens his white whiskers and he endeavors to pour the sand from his glass fast enough to keep ahead of the procession. Everything Is on the move. If the steel lever lags In ths piston, try a turoms wheel; if coal Is cumbersome, use gasoline or the electrlo "Julce.' Man himself may be lubricated and hustled with a dose ot oxygen. The Pennsylvsnla railroad has Just ordered 100 electrlo locomotives, which will be able to spilt space at the rate of 120 mllea an hour and bring Philadelphia nearer to New Tork than some parts of Brooklyn. When the system is completed, lesdlng cltlsens of Pittsburg will take the theater train for the metropolis snd get back In time to spend ths next day re cuperating from lobsters and chorus girls. Two Miles Mtnote. Two miles a minute U rspld, but already electrical cars on the Marienreai-j&oaeen line In Prussia have traveled at the rate of l5o miles an hour. Neither ths motor nor the tracks seem to suffer from this thumping, speed, while the passengers, ku ancestors were warned of the fatal danger of riding in a steam train at six-' teea miles an hour, survive comfortably. The fastest bit of railroad travel In ths United States up to dats was done by a Philadelphia V, Reading train, In 1904, over a four-mile sireicn imm c RH ean tine Junction, when the wheels re volved at th rate of 116 miles an hour. A year later a Lake Bhore A Michigan South ern train averaged nearly seventy miles an hour on the long run between Buffalo and Chicago. It is not fair to call motorists scorchers who tear around country roaas. mcjr rarelr s:o faster than the Twentieth cen tury Limited, but the true scorchers are ambitious to equal the record of Fred Marriott at Armond beach a couple of years ago. Mounted on a cigar shaped devil wagon, Marriott flew over the smooth sand at twenty-eight and one-fifth seconds for the mile, or better then two miles a minute. At the same contest Demogeot up held the honor of France by covering two miles In fifty-eight and four-fifths seconds, and Clifford Earp proved the endurance of England by knocking off 100 miles at an average of forty-five seconds to the mile. That some handy going could be accom plished on a plain country road was the contention of Walter Christie, the Ameri can, and he made good on Long Island last year with a 120-mlle-an-hour clip. Catching; Up. . Everything that goes fast needs some thing faster to catch it While the racing car la at present unapproachable, the com mon scorcher may be overhauled by a mo torcycle, which is the torpedo boat de stroyer of 'the highway. A streak of dust, a pop-pop-pop like a rapid fire gun, and the majesty of the law on two wheels cap tures ths four-wheeled violator of the speed limit. At Morris park on last elec tion day, Walter Goerke won the ten-mile national championship for motorcycles In ten minutes end forty-five seconds. Ocean Flyers. Leg power still has Its records. Aided by the suction of an express train, behind which he rode' a bicycle on a board track, Murphy pedalled his celebrated mile in fifty-four and three-fifths seconds. Robert A. WeiUvour has dons' his mile In 1:06V4 and K. Caldwell has gruelled fifty miles In a tick less than an hour. Most machines that go fast ars compli cated and costly, but any country boy can make an Ice yacht skim ths froxen lake or river at an unparalleled speed. No motor yet devised has driven anything on wheels as rapidly aa ths wind drives tbs ics yacht over its glassy course. There are no bear ings to get hot, and If there Is any friction on ths stsel skates ths Ice keeps them cool. On the frcaen BTirewbeury river two years Ago ths yaot Drub went over a short measured course at the rate of a mile in twenty-four seconds, or 160 miles an hour. In order to exceed this, man may have to launch himself In a cyclone or get shot out of high power rifle. Ioe yachts often make two miles In a minute, and quite outdistance slowpoks express trains on the bank of the Hudson river. The transatlantic blue ribbon for pas senger steamships is held by the Lusltanla, with a record of 25 knots, whils the cruiser battleship Indomitable recently took the prince of Wales horns from the Quebec celebration at an average gait of 25.13 knets. Dixie II, which won the Interna tional motor boat race In Huntington bay last summer, made an alleged world's rec ord of 86.86 miles an hour in a private spied test. Charhs R. Flint's launch Arrow la credited with ths phenomenal speed of 46 miles an hour. Probably the swlftiat warship In the world Is the English de stroyer Tartar, which not long ago spurted a abort distance st the rate of 42.60 miles an hour.

The fastest of running horses negotiates the track at the rate of 68 miles an hour, which la about the apsed of motor boats and aeroplanes. Athletics can go some on cinder tracks, on ice and In water. "Tim" Donoghue, the skater, rivalled a good trotting horse when he swept his steel shod feet over a mile course in 2:124. The world's record for a mile run, made by T. P. Conneff, at Travers Island in 1806, atlU stands at 4:U. The hundred-yard dash was brought down to 9H second, by "Pan" Kelly, of Oregon, two years ago. If this speed could be continued it would amount to a mile in 1:48, or 21 miles an hour. The adoption of the ordinary "crawl" stroke In swimming has broken all water records within the last fsw years. This stroke has been. Imported from Australia, and the one who usss It looks more like a fish than a man, being under water most of the time The crawl was dlscovsrsd by an expert, who tied his legs together and found ho could go faster with that apparent handicap. At . the English races last ysar, B. CavilL swam a record mile in fl minutes and 11 seconds, while Charles M. Daniels of Nsw Tork, who holds all kinds of world's records, splashed a hundred yards in 654 seoonds, which amount to about four miles an hour. .
