A Suggestion

The Salvation Army is about 10
leave Reno for Virginia. 1t will find
that place hopelessly miled in the
Slough of Despond. The lamp has
almost ceased to burn and it will be
hard for the pious warriors to persuade
the sinners to return. The halt there,
consequently, will be short, and Haw-
tborne may expect an early visit. 1t
might he well for the committee on
Fourth of July amusements to look
into the matter and learn if arrange
ments for special exhibition on that
day could be made. The people would
enjoy the fun and the streets are long
and wide enough to permit the other
games to go on without Inconvenience
TO any.

Bathing.

Everybody goes bathing. 1t Is both
healthful and pleasant and no place in
the broad United States excels Walker
Lake In attraction. Tho bottom is as
smooth as velvet, the water of just the
right temperature and of depth to suit
all demands. On account of the very
gradual slope of the bottom it is as
nearly absolute free from danger as
can be imagined, and, while all the
excitement of breakers can be enjoyed,
there is no undertow to make the sport
dangerous, A great many people will
probably come here this Summer to
enjoy tho cool nights and fine bathing
and they Will find both health and
pleasure during their stay.

Soaring the Head Waiter.

Once, Foote, the English comic
ACTOR, made a wager that he would
upset the dignity of a certain head
waiter at hotel in Bath, who had the
name OF being the most dignilied 'nan
with three xgiend,- an engineer who
bad lost al wye. y cavalry oti'rcr, vino
had lost aa .ais, ana an old SEA Cap
tain, who had lost leg. The precious
quartet enseoneed themselves in the
foMr corners of the room and hawled
for iha waiter, who came in with
move than ordinary sssuGintion of dig.
nifty, rs taeit protest against their
unccremonious treatment OF him.
"Waiterl" cried the one eyed engi-
neer," come and take offmy eye glass;"
adding, as the waiter swelled with in
dignation, "and while you're about it
just take out my eye" Your eye
sir?" echoed the startled dignitary.
Yes, my eye, don't you understand
Englishs Look sharp" Eye.glass
and glass.eye came away together, and
the waiter reconnoitered them doubt.
fully, as they lay in the palm of his
hand, like a man cycling Il watch that
has suddenly stopped. Just then, the
one. armed dragon shouted in his
turn: Waiter. take off my glove
and now that think of it, take off my
arm" Glove and hand gave way at
first touch and the waiter, appalled, to
see his customers tumbling to pieces,
like mosaic puzzle, was turning
hastily away, when the onc-legged
sailor roared: Waiter, pull off my
starboard boot, and you may as well
pull off my leg too" The poor waiter
shudderingiy complied. mentally re
peating every prayer he could think
of. Instantly, the previously loesened
straps gave way, and down went the
man of dignity GA his a1gust back
with the artificial limb quivering in
his clutches.
II was enough. Forgetting every
thing in his agonized longing to es
cape from this chamber Of horrors
the ill.starred waiter, casting n ter
ritied glance at the fragments which
s,rewed the carpet, sprang toward the
door. But, before he could reach 1t
Foote himself-the length and ffexi
bility of whose neck might have
aroused the envy of an ostrich
twisted his neck right round over his
shoulders, and called out in voice
hollow md unearthly enough tc
frigliten a Bengal tiger; Waiter
come and take off my hat, and while
you're at it, take of my head
Human nature could bear no more
The msrtyred waiter gave one yell
worthy of Cherokee Indian ano
made hat single bound from the toy
to the bottom of the stairs, upsetting
not only his dignity, but himself, SC
thoroughly, that to the day of his
death, he was never quite himself
again.
