Seven Thousand Miles for 2 Cents.

A letter in going from Key West to the Klondike travels a total distance of 7,000 miles, yet is carried the entire distance by Uncle Sam for 2 cents. It goes by railroad, steamboat, stage, horseback and clog sled, and is on the road for nearly forty days without a rest.
