breathing: ave breathe with our
lungs, our lights, our kidneys and our
livers. II it wasn't for our breath We
would die when we slept. Our breath
keeps the life agoing through the nose
when We are asleep. Boys who stay
in a room all day should not breathe.
They should wait until they get out in
the fresh air. Boys in a room make
bad air called carbonicide. Car
bonicide is as poison as mad dogs. A
lot OF soldiers were once in q black
hole in Calcutta and carbonicide got in
there and killed them. Girls some-

winner Of the capital prize in to-day's

Company was the Louisiana State
Lottery Company. 1t disposed of

to 100000, and offered prizes
amounting in all TO 81 ,054 800, leaving
in the hands OF the company the differ
ence, s945, 200, which, in our judg-
ment, is the capital prize. 1t is esti
mated that at least 80 per cent of its
own prizes are drawn by the company
itself, which would amount to 1916,

A PIUrE REsURRECrED.
His squaw Burfes Him Alive so
She Can Attend q Fandaogo.


The Pioche Record relates that in
riding through Eagle Valley, Lincoln
county, recently, rancher was at
tracted by peculiar moaning sound.
On finding the spot whence it pro-
ceeded he removed some sagebrush
and soil and found that an aged Piute
Indian, known as Teekaboo, had been
buried alive. He summoned some
neighboring ranchers who resurrected
the Indian from the grave, and it was
then ascertained that he had been
buried alive by his squaw, who had
been left to take care of him while the
young bucks and squaws were enjoy
ing themselves at fandango at Pa
naca.
The old squaw left in charge of the
aged Indian, who was an invalid, con-
cluded that he had but few days to
linger anyway and that II she remained
with him she would miss the fun at
the fandadgo and the possibility OF
losing chance to get another hus-
band, and therefore determined to an
tIcipate her dusky lords dissolution
by at once burying him, which she
did, and reached Panaca in time to
participate in the fandango festivities.
