HER PRIDE SUBDUED.

When Helen Vinton was twenty one,
the great mills where her father had
made the bulk of his vast fortune be-
came her absolute property.
a heavy charge for a girl, and many
OF her friends questioned the wisdom of
the will. But it had been understood
that before that time she would be the
wife Of her cousin Victor, to whom she
had been betrothed almost from her
cradle.
And, besides this. between her and
all care regarding the mills stood her
foreman, Stephen Walker, the strong,
calm man, whom the men both feared
and loved, and whose father had been
foreman there before him.
And though the marriage had been
delayed from time to time, and Victor
had spent irost of the two years, since
she reached her majority, wandering
over Europe, she had never known the
responsibility of her position until this
autumn day, when she sat amid the rich
surroundings of her library, herself the
fairest object there, bending YEARLY
over the long columns of figures that
Represented to her the state of her bust
ness.
There was quick step in the hall,
and Stephen Walker entered-a tall,
rugged man, with kindly brown eyes,
and smile that redeemed the plainness
of his features, and with strength and
determination in every line of his face.
"You are examining the accounts,
Miss Vinton. l trust you find no dilf-
Guilty in understanding them2"
"Oh, 1 dare say they arc plain
enough" she replied, with a forced
laugh, "but was always stupid about
figures. This is heavy burden you
have thrown on my shoulders, Mr..
Walker-how heavy, l scarcely realized
until attempted to so over these dread
full books"
Stephen Walker grew very pale and
his voice sounded harsh and strained as
he said.
Il hope there will be no trouble, Miss
Yinton. suppose Victor will be home
in the spring, and think Brown will
be quite capable of taking charge until
then"
II dare say we will do very well, and
1 cannot blame you for wishing to 60.
know you have talents that are quite
thrown away here. But, Stephen
with little break in her sweet, proud
voice, and extending her hands to him
II will miss you sadly"
lie took her hands in his, and bent
over them with a great sob in his voice.
"Oh, Helen--don't you know? Can't
you understands 1t is not because
want to better myself that must go,
but because to stay here, seeing you
every day, and knowing, as l do, that
you can never be mine, is madness, for
oh, Nell, my queen, love your
"Stopr she said, passionately, her
face white, and a steely CLEAN In her
eyes that would have daunted a weaker
man.
''No; you must hear me. I never
meant to tell You this, but now you
must know why desert the charge your
father left to me. l remember the first
day l saw you, when your father brought
you down to the dusty old mill--a tiny,
golden-haired fairy, who seemed of finer
clay than |, rough boy--and left you
for whole bright day in my care.
Helen, from that day have worshipped
you madly, hopelessly, l know, but as
never man loved before; and now to stay
here and see you Victor's wife, is worse
than death"

Thousands Of men fail in life for pure
ly physical reasons. They are not tor
pid but their liver is, and their liver
blocks the way. They are bilious, vel
low skinned, headachy and miserable,

store to this organ 10 its natural power
will add one hundred per cent. TO the

of but one thing able to do this-Dr

Women have been able fighters In
war; have managed commercial enter
prises; have painted, written, plowed,
shoveled in coal, governed kingdoms,
inspired great social enterprises; and
there is no reason why they should not

one thing, however, that woman cam
not do-she cannot decently sharpen a
lead pencil.

Wards Of Wisdom.

Bierce in the Wasp says: 1t
our system is good one our legis-
lators are truly representative men.
If they are rogues, their constitu-
ents are fools. What would they
have, the good GROWERS !? Figs
from thistles and grapes from
thorns The obvious fact is that
our legislators are as good as our
people, and as wise. Is there a
constituency in the State which
does not seek a local advantage at
the expense of the general welfare?
Is there county, which would not
work, tooth and nail, for needless
lunatic asylum, superfuous nor
NAL school or a swindling peneten-
tiary if it had a chance to get one!
All we have to say to the above
is that Ormsby county does not
plead guilty to the Indictment and
if you don't think SO, look at the

The Sacramento Bee says:

The Sacramento Bee says:
The Nevada Legislature. at its
last session, passed a bill entitled
an Act to Promote Habits OF Tenn
perance. and to Prohibit the Prac-
tice of Treating The full text OF
the measure can be found in another
column. Governor Adams took no
action in the matter. Lieutenant
Gov. Laughton publishes card, In
which he declines to exercise his
authority in the case, and SO the
bill becomes a law. 1t is a foolish
enactment, and will, of course,
prove a dead letter from the start.
The Constitution of Nevada pro-
yides that bill that is
passed by the Legislature be-
comes a law IL case of enaction by
the Governor. In this State the
bill could not become a law, under
the circumstances, unless signed
by the Governor within ten days
after the adjournment of the Leg
islature.

Yesterday the Board Of Capita !
Commissioners met to consider the

cations offered in various parts OF
the city, but the one which ap-
peared to be the most eligible was
the lots offered by Capt. Pray, just
East of the Capitol. 1t was the
nearest site offered to the Capitol
Building, and as the State Print
ing Office will be obliged to con-
meet with the State water, gas and

this session upon four treaties,
none of which, however, are of any
Importance. One is the treaty pro

other and uaimportant treaty IS
the one made with the Khedive OF
Egypt in relation to certain trade
matters that are not of general
commercial Importance. If the
proposed treaty relating to the
Wiel and La Abra claims is not
