distinguished looking stranger at the

proach the bar and in faint whisper
asked Bob Perry if he kept any liquor
to sell. He offered gold headed
cane as partial security and waltzed
off with a toothpick, like star board

our old friend John II. Dennis, on his
way to Carson to melt and refine the
U. s. Mint. He denied the charge of
having skipped from Salt Lake to es-
cape arrest as o-hsb," and said in
explanation that as a matter of choice
he would rather be gate-keeper on a
free toll bridge in Nevada, than to be
chief of the harem in Zion; but as he
had another man g overcOat on his arm.

Age OF Teachers.

There has been recently, as well as
formerly, considerable comment on
the supposed Law defining the age of
teachers in the public schools, or the
age at which they must arrive before
they can draw public money. Super
intendent Stone would be much
pleased if some one who processes to
know would show him the law which
defines the age as he has been unable
to find it; and in support of his dec
aration that there is no law on the
subject, we desire to say that during
a four years term as County Superin-
tendent this writer made it his busi-
ness TO examine all laws bearing on
the subject of Public Schools in this
State, and he never found anything
which relates to teachers age. An
applicant must present satisfactory
evidence of ability and fitness for the
profession and the Board of Examin-
ers alone are to determine whether the
evidences are sufficient to warrant
them in granting a certificate. There
is 90 law in Nevada on this subject,
but in some other States person is
required to attain a certain age before
being entitled to teachers certificate.

to never encroach on the rights of

If the other party has no right IN law
