Beecher's Funny Story.

Among Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er's many accomplishments not the
least was his ability as a story-teller.
To much-amused listeners he once
told this one about New York
| drummer:
A typical ''knight of the gripsack"
was detained in a small town in
western New York while ago where
a revival meeting was in progress.
He had met a party of convivial
friends during his stay there, and
had what is popularity known as ga
load on Nevertheless, he drifted
into the revival meeting and took a
seat well up in front. 1t was rather
close in the church, and the warm
air was conducive to sleep.
The drummer yielded to the drow-
sy god, and after nodding little
sank into profound slumber, and
slept through the minister's rather
long and dreary discourse. The au-
dience sung hymn and the drum
mer slept on. Then the evangelist
began his address, and wound up his
fervid appeal with this request:
"Will all of you who want to go to
heaven please rise?"
Every one in the chnrch except
the sleepy drummer arose. When
the evangelist asked them to be seat
ed, one of the brothers in the same
pew as the sleeping drummer acct
dentally brushed against him as he
sat down. The drummer rubbed
his eyes, and, partially awake, heard
the last portion of the evangelist's
request, which was:
"Now, | want all of you who want
to go TO hell to stand up
The drummer struggled little,
leaned forward unsteadily and rose
from his seat in dazed sort of way.
A sort of suppressed laugh he heard
from some of the younger people, land
an expression of horror he noticed
on the faces of some of the older
ones. Steadying himself against
the rail he looked at the evangelist
an instant and then said:
"Well, parson, [ don't know just
exactly what we are voting on, but
you and | seem to be in hopeless
Weak lungs are strengthened by Johnsons Ano-
dyne Lniment, as directed with each bottle.

What Makes a Man Old.

To himself, man is as old as he
feels; to others as old as he looks.
There is nothing strikingly new, in
this observation but it applied in an
amusing case the other day. On a
train that was coming into Boston
there was two gentlemen sitting in
contiguous seats. AS the train APP
preached the station the white haired
man rose, took up his overcoat, hest
tated, and glanced nervously around.
Then he said:
Young man, | will be much Oblig-
ed to you if you will help me on with
my overcoat.
The other rose quickly and gave
him the assistance asked for.
There-ow I'm little stiff. Thank
you, said the old man. You are
kind. Some time you may be old
yourself, and then you may be glad
of a young mans assistance.
The other laughed. Perhaps, sir,
he said, you wouldn't object to tell
ing me how old you are?
[? Oh, no, said the old man, | am
60 years old-almost Ga, he said with
a sigh.
Indeed? said the young man, and
now l will tell you how old | am. l
shall be II years old my next birth
day.
1t was his actual age, but the first
man fatty refused to believe it, and
went off with an air as if he thought
the other were trying to play rather
bad joke.

A BOYS PRAYER.-A little boy who
had been punished for an exhibition
of ugliness was sent to bed with in
structions to pray that he might be a
better boy in the future and that his
temper might be reformed. His
mother stole to the door of his room
to make sure that her commands were
carried out, and this is the prayer
she heard: ooh, Lord, please take
away my bad temper. And while
you are about it you might as we'll

Death of Mrs. n. II. Barnes.

Mrs. R. e. Barnes, wife of Park
Barnes, died at her residence in
Dayton last Sunday, the 25th, of
bronchitis and asthma. She was
aged 40 years and q days. Mrs.
Barnes was a native of Iowa, and
came to Nevada in 1864 to reside
with her sister, Mrs. Roney, on the
Carson river below Fl. Churchill.
There she married Park Barnes in
1868, and then came to Dayton to
reside. She was most estimable
and charitable lady, and her death
causes sorrow among large circle
of friends. Her affliction dates
back several years, and for the past
two years she was almost confirm
ed invalid. After the doctors OF
Virginia City and this place failed
to benefit her she was taken to San
Francisco, and the most eminent
physicians there were consulted,
but all to no effect. Mrs. Barnes
leaves husband, two sons and a
daughter residing here, married
daughter, Mrs. w. J. Harris, Of
Wabuska, father in Iowa, and
two elder sisters, Mrs. Roney, who
is now stopping here, and Mrs.
Smith, now residing in Arizona.
The funeral took place Monday,
from the Court House, the sermon
being preached by the Rev. Park
inson. Many friends of the family
followed the remains to the ceme-
terry, and the K. Of P, of which
Mr.. Barnes is a member, acted as
an escort. The family has the
sympathy of the entire community

start a Chicken Ranch.

Every few weeks we see an item
in the Reno papers about carload
or tive of chickens passing through
that place from Iowa, Colorado, Neb-
raska or some other Western State
to California. Again an item oc-
casionally appears about the up
country ranchers about Reno bring
ing poultry to Carson and Virginia
City to market. 1t is a wonder to
US that some active young man does
not secure piece of land in this
vicinity and start a chicken ranch.
Poultry of all kinds bring big prices
here, and Virginia City and Carson
would afford somewhat of a market,
while if the raiser could not sell
here he could ship to California. If
it pays to ship this kind of produce
from as far East as Iowa it will pay
to ship it from Nevada. Chickens
sell here for so cts. to 81 apiece, re-
tail; turkeys from ~ to $3.50
apiece, and eggs seldom cost con-
sumers less than 81 for three dozen.
A small ranch, upon which thous-
and or two chickens could be raised
would be a paying property, we
should judge. Eggs ought not to
cost over 20 cts. a dozen. Money
can be made selling them at this
price, while chickens ought not to
cost over 30 to so cts. apiece at re-
tail. A few hundred dollars invest
ed in an enterprise of this kind
would Weld fine income.

Work In the Tunnel,

Since the Sutro Tunnel Compa-
ny started to run the drift on the
Occidental lead the force of men
has been increased by about fifteen.
The Savage Company is now MAX
ing an upraise from the tunnel lew
Ell, as are also the Con. Virginia
and Norcross, and considerable
waste rock is now being taken out
through the tunnel. The Company
is now contemplating the PROPOSE
ton of dispensing with the mule
power used to take out the
rock and substituting an electric
motor or understanding engine.
The track now running through
the tunnel is a narrow and light
one, and a wider and heavier one
may be required for a motor heavy
enough to do the work, should the
mines conclude to send all their ore
through the tunnel. There is moth
ing definite known regarding the
scheme of taking the ore through
the tunnel and working it in mills
on the river near Sutro, but it has
been talked of for years, and it will
eventually be done, we believe,
unless the mining companies find
that it will not be an expensive
enough milling proposition for
them, and would cause them to de-
clare dividend or two instead of
continually levying assessments for
the benefit of the stockholders.
