The bills for public buildings in
winnemocca, EIko, Eureka and several
other small towns in Nevada, excite no
jealousy in Tuscarora, although the
latter is more than twice the size of
any of the places we have mentioned.
Tuscarorans don't care for ''taffy" and
that's all the public building bills
amount to and the thinnest kind of
tafy at that. --Times-R Review.

The masquerade ball at the school
house last Monday evening was largely
attended and proved a very pleasant
affair. The parties who first adver-
vertised the ball claimed the cxclu-
sive right of postpouing it at their own
sweet will in disregard of the public
sentiment or welfare, and for their
private benefit. Nor was their excuse
Tor such postponement accepted as one
of genuine sincerity by the people of
Ely.
But the young ladies OF Ely wouldn't
have il that way, aud determined TO
celebrate the 18th OF Ireland 10 a be-
coming manner. They had but little
time to prepare, but with that ardor and
confidence peculiar to Young America
they set about it in a systematic bust
ness.like manner, and the result was
one of the most pleasant parties
ever given 10 Ely, and a snug little
sum raised for the school fund. The
young ladies are entitled to all praise
for the excellent manner in which they
got up and conducted their ball in so
short time. They had good music
and fine lunch. If the would-be chap
erones of Ely society ever seriously
held the idea that no social event could
be Il success without their guidance,

The Dublin Times in its London cor
respondence announces that the Princess
Maud, youngest daughter Of the Prince
and Princess of Wales, is about to be be-
trothed to Ferdinand de Rothschild, with
the full approval of her father. The
princess was born Nov. 20, 1869, and the
time has fully arrived to obtain for her
suitable matrimonial alliance. Whether
the queens consent will be given to this
match remains to be seen. The social
atmosphere of London is filed with
rumors concerning the proposed
union. Should a social dispensation
be granted by her majesty, the joining
together of these two scion of the house
of Guelph and Rothschild, will be the
event of the coming year. The fortu.
nate possessor of millions has had the
glamor of royalty thrown over him by

ing and startling stories OF the olden
time. 1t seems incredible, but it is true,
that within the memory of men now liv-
ing in Chicago, where stately build
ings now stand, wild animals were
hunted and shot. In the early
days the prairies were infested
with wolves, and wolf hunts upon ground
now covered with fine residences are
prominent among the memories of the
early settlers.
From 1910 the growth of the city was
steady and rapid. In 1850 it contained
20, 963 people, which, in the next decade,
had become 100, 200. The war proved a
great stimulus to Chicago, not only add

three hundred thousand mark and taken
it's place among the foremost cities of the
country.

A THOROUGH reform Of the PEussian
system of taxation has been planned by
Finance Minister MIGUEL and will be Sub
mitted soon to the Prussian deputies.
The principal ideas of this reform are
the closer estimate of the incomes of tax
payers, the heavier taxation of funded
income in comparison with salaries or
wages and the extension of the inheri-
tence tax to children, parents, and t the
widow or widower. Herr MIGUEL also
purposes to introduce several quite new
provisions concerning the number of
children and other dependents in each
household with view to tightening the
burdens of fathers of large families. The
income tax will decrease relatively from
incomes of So, $50 downward.

it all, the city itself will stand out as the
greatest of all exhibits" Many pens
are writing accounts of the rise and
progress of the famous city, and many
pencils depicting the magnificent work
of her architects and engineers, yet
there seems no danger of the matter
being soon overdone, or the interest of
the public becoming satisfied, much less
cloyed.
Chicago began life as a city in 1887. 1t
had q popuIation.of ALTO, which, at the
taking of the sixth national census, in
1910, was found to- have increased to
4,479, or about 100,a year.
In the fifty years which have elapsed
since the latter date, 1t has doubled eight
times, and left a margin of about $4,000
besides. Taking this item into account,
its people have doubled every six years
since 1910. This advancement by geo.
nietrical progression (by multiplication
rather than additfon) breaks all the rec
ords of the world, and discounts the
widest dreams of all the enthusiastic
bubble blowers and boomers who in the
past have predicted her mighty future.
Chicago is now the first city of the
nation in point of area, the second in the
matter of population, and the third in
nothing of Importance.
The first white resident of Chicago was
"a negro from San Domingo, named Jean
Baptiste Point au Sable. This Hiberni-
.cism has been attributed to one William
Caldwell, a local celebrity of later years.
Jean Baptiste was politician, and that
of no mean order, SO far as his ambition
was concerned. His first scheme was to
angratiate himself with the Indians. be-

were interspersed with, others of poor
kind, the entire effect being in no sense
striking. The Chicago of 1890 Is the
fnest-built city of America, and, many
well-informed people say, of the world.
Progress and improvement is now
more than ever before the watchword.
Buildings to which the Chicagoan point
ed with pride dozen years ago are now
being torn down, to be replaced with
magnificent structures of from twelve to
sixteen stories in height.
In many regards Chicago leads all
competitors. It's manufactures are
enormous. It is the greatest grain, cat
tie, hog, cured meat, and lumber market
in the world. AS a railroad centeri 1t has
no rival on the globe. It's system Of
parks and driveways leads those of the
entire earth.
Tt has one great advantage over the
older cities. This is unlimited space,
which enables industrious and thrifty
workers of all kinds to possess houses of
their own. The city at present includes
174 square miles within its limits and
bids fair to extend them before many
years have passed by.
To enumerate the remarkable institu-
.tions of the Chicago of to-day, with its
100000 people, would require a volume
or long series of articles. After all, writ
ingconveys but poor idea of the situation.
To fully appreciate or even realize the
immensely and grandeur of the city by
the lake, it must be visited by all who
desire to keep, in any sense, abreast of
the wonderful march which our civiliza-
ton is making in these latter days.

Bottled Sugar.

The author of "Under the Punkah"
tells an amusing incident OF his life in
India. He had given to tame mon
key lump of sugar inside corked
bottle. The monkey was of an inquir-
ing mind, and the effort to get at the
mystery and the sugar nearly killed
him. Sometimes, in an impulse of dis
gust, he would throw the bottle clear
out of his reach, and then be distracted
until it was given back to him. At
other times he would sit with counte-
nance of the most intense detection,
contemplating the bottled sugar, and
then, as il pulling himself together for
another effort at solution, would stern
" take up the problem afresh and gaze
into the bottle. He would tilt it up
one way and try to drink the sugar
through the cork, and then, suddenly
reversing it, try to catch the sugar as
it fell out at the bottom. Under the
impression that he could catch it by
surprise, he kept rapping his teeth
against the glass in futile bites, and,
warming to the pursuit of the revoly-
ing lump, used to tie himself into regu-
lar knots around the bottle. Fits of
the most ludicrous melancholy would
alternate with these spasms of furious
speculation, and how the matter would
have ended it is quite impossible to say.
But the monkey got loose one night
and took the bottle with him.. and it
has always been delight to me to-
think that whole forestfuls Of monkeys
have by this time puzzled Themselves
into fits over the great problem Of bot
tied sugar,

years later arrived an Indian trader,
Robert G. LaSalle, in whose honor was
named the street at the head of which
the Board Of Trade now stands. As
LaSalle and his companion approached
in an open boat, he exclaimed: "Already
/ see the countless millions who will
some time illhabit these fertile valleys"
Perhaps something of prophetic vision
was given him, and he saw picture of
what the swampy morass about him
would be at the end of two centuries Of
time.
In 1900, Illinois and Indiana were or
ganized together into the Indian Terri
tory, with the seat of government at
Vincennes, Ind. In 1904 frontier mill
tary post was established at Chicago,
and block fort erected, and named
Fort Dearborn, after Gen. Henry Dear
born.
The same year came John Kinzie, an
Indian trader from St. Joseph, on the
Michigan side of the lake. He pur-
| chased and repaired the old cabin of Au
Sable, residing there with his family.
Upon the breaking out of the war with
England in 1912 the Indians took to the
war-path, and through their usual
| treachery succeeded in massacring over
fifty people at Chicago, including num-
! Der of women and children.

Emergency. s
During the late strike on The New York
Central Railroad, the militia were ordered
to be In readiness In case OF q riot, but they
were not called out.
In ali interview GOV. Hill said the troops
| were not to be called upon except In case OF
ain emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out. He remarked that his was the hrst
great strike with which he had had expert
cncc, and he did not propose to lose his
mead; the only point at which there had
then been any serious trouble was at syria
cuse, and there deputy sheriff had lost his
head and precpitated All encounter.
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but tho civil authorities
were able to cope with it without calling on
the militia.
The test of mans real ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes o
hasty call on his good Judgment and discre-
ton. The man who retains his presence OF
mind, maintains his equipoise and exercises
sound discretion at such critical Junctures,
is to be relied on and will be put to the
front
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not faiter in the face Of
danger. Otis A. Cole, OF Kinsman, o., June
10, 1890, writes: sin the fall OF 1888 was

wrote TO him. In due time 1 received an
answer, stating that the testimonial he
gave was genuine and not overdrawn In

Gov. Hill is accounted o very successful
man; he Is cool and calculating and be-

Its Tail in the Air.

Yes, tree is an underground crea-
ture, with its tail in the air. All it's
intelligence is in it's roots. Think
what sagacity it shows in its search
after food and drink. Somehow or
other, the rootlets, which are its tenta-
cles, find out that there is brook at q
moderate distance from the trunk of
the tree, and they make for it with all
their might. They find every crack in
the rocks where there are a few grains
of the nourishing substance they care
for and insinuate themselves into its
deepest recesses. When spring and
summer come they let their tails grow,
and delight in whisking them about in
the wind, OF letting them be whisked
about by it; for these tails are poor,
passive things, with very little will of
their own and bend in whatever direc-
ton the wind chooses to make them.
The leaves make good deal of noise
whispering. have sometimes thought
I could understand them as they talked
with each other, and that they seemed
to think they made the wind as they
wagged forward and back. Remem-
Der what I say. The next time you
see tree waving in the wind, recol-
lect that it is the tail of great under
ground many armed, polypus-like
creature which is as proud of its caudal
appendage, especially in summer time,
as peacock Of his gorgeous expanse
of plumage.
Do you think there is anything so
very odd about this idea? Once get it
well into your heads and you will find
it renders the landscape wonderfully
interesting. There are as many kinds
of tree tails as there are of tails to
dogs and other quadrupeds. Study
them as Daddy Gilpin studied them in
his "Forest Scenery" but don't forget
that they are only the appendage Of
the underground vegetable polypus,
the true organism to which they be-
