'CoT Your Coat ACCORDING TO TOUR

In which she drew striking pictures
OF the misery and degradation which
follow those who live beyond their
means, and are compelled to resort to
unlawful practices in order to keep
up appearances. An important lesson
was drawn from the betrayal OF West
Point by Benedict Arnold, which she
claimed was the result of lis extraya-
giant habits. She claimed that
much suffering is also caused by too
rigid economy which leads to the wor-
ship of money. In conclusion she
urged her hearers to be true to their
better natures, to live within their
means and to spend their time on
earth in an earnest effort to make
their lives grand success.

preciated and received a round of ap-
plause.
More declarations and MUSIC fol
lowed after which Miss Lille Rosen-
stock read her graduating essay
entitled
"ELKo In The FUTURE"
Miss Rosenstock described Elko and
Nevada as they are to-day, picturirg
the cruel wrong done to the people
by the decentralization O: silver in
1873, and then assuming the role of
prophecies she drew bright picture
Of Elko in 1850, teeming with busy
life, her streets crowded with pros
porous people and the hum OF indus
Try heard on every hand. This change
she declared was caused by the re-
monetizaSion of silver by the Goth
Congress, and the storing of water
and the sinking of artesian wells for
'rrigatins our arid lands which had
been accomplished through an appro-
priation Of Sl0,0O9,OOO given to Nevada
ny the same Congress. AS u result of
these appropriations she saw cur val
leys filled with happy homes, com
Deting railroads crossing the State
and an air of prosperity pervading
the people VINO we're no longer slaves
to the Central Pacific Railroad. Where
The fragrant sagebrush now holds un
disputed sway IN the vacant lots OF our
town she saw beautiful parks and
splendid residences.
Miss Rosenstock was listened to at
tentively and the audience rewarded
ner effort with hearty round of ap.
pause.
