A MEAN PRIDE.
nc belongs to the Girl Who Wishes ia
Work Secretly.

It Belongs to the Girl Who Wishes to
q Work Secretly.
1t is n mean pride which great
many girls have to-day-the pride that
says to itself, should like some pocket
money, and perhaps / can earn it with
out anybody knowing. Without any
body knowing you are doing the work.
What is there to be ashamed of in doing
work? Only bad work is to be made a
secret of, only bad work is to be hidden
as if it were a sin. but, unfortunately.
the bad work is told of far and wide
and spoken of as the way women work.
IL is mean kind of pride that makes a
girl write to me and say: Cant you tell
me some work that / can do at home
that nobody need see, and through
which can gain some extra money!"
don't believe that girl knows how mean
it is. If she has home and father
who is happy in caring for her she has
no right to that work. It belongs to
some woman who has to earn her bread
and butter by the labor of her hands,
and not to the one to whom it is an
amusement for a little while. BY it
she wants TO gain little money; nine
times out of ten she is not very particu-
lar in her way of doing it, and so she
makes the work of other women of less
value. That is where meanness comes
in. don't believe there is a single
girl in all the world who would like to
be called mean. / would rather be
called thief. But uncon sciously they
do SO many mean things This being
ashamed of the work and doing itpoor-
", taking away from other women
who need it sadly, are mean things to
do. And don't, don't, my dear girl,
permit yourself to be guilty of mean
things.-Ruth Ashmore, in Ladies'
Home Journal

Prosnects for Wheat.

MILAN, March 29.-From present indi-
ca tions there will be an unusually large
wheat crop harvested in this State.
These fine prospects are due to tho
fact that the seed was put in, and the
winter has been most favorable for its
rapid growth. At no time in the past
has the plant been known to BIO so far
advanced as at this time. In certain
sections of the country the plant has
commenced jointing. 1t is true many
contingencies may arise and blast the
bright prospects, but should no accident
intervene the harvest will be larger
than for years past, and the proceeds
will go far toward repairing the finan-
cial distress caused by the failure of the
cotton crop in this State. These fine
prospects are not confined alone to the
wheat crop. The crops look better than
for years past, and the acreage is by far
larger than it has been for years. All
danger of injury by frost is past and
the yield will be greater at harvest time
than for many seasons.

state Finances.

NASHVILLE, March 29.-''The State
finances arc in good shape" said Secre-
tary of State Miller this morning, ''and
the big debt which has hung over the
State ever since Brownlow's administra-
ton ia gradually growing less. There
was debt of some SIS, 600. 900 before the
war, and after the building of the CAPT
toll the appropriation for the turnpike
and other improvements swelled it tc
e27; 200, 900. This has been cut down to
about $13,000.OOO. The State ia paying
the interest on these bonds right along.
The bonds out are 5-3O's, due in 1881,
but can be taken up now at the option
of the State. We took up sixty of these
bonds last week, the first done in six
months" It is understood the funding
board, composed of the Governor, Comp
troller and Treasurer, think it will be
possible to take up about $500. 900 of the
State bonds next year.

A STRANGE story of bread keeping for
seventy-five years comes from OyertoE
County. James and Lizzie Ashenburst
were married in Ireland in the year
1917, and left the next day for the
United States and landed in New York.
Before leaving Ireland they prepared
provisions to live upon on their voyage.
Among other things were many loaves
of oatmeal bread. Arriving at New
York they had several of these loaves
left, and now they have two of them in
an apparently good state of preserva-
ton. On the day of their marriage the
bride and groom were respectively Is
and 16 years of age. They now live
near the north border of Overton Coun-
ty, having many children and grand
children living near them.
News comes from Benton and Hum
phreys counties that gold has been
found. 1t is said that mining experts
have been prospecting in the northern
part of the two counties for some time
past, and they have met with more or
less success. The old miners have
found indications of gold deposits on
the property of Mr.. Lafayette Akers, on
Crooked Creek, and from that point
down the county line to the Tennessee
River the prospectors found gold in con-
nection with silver and iron. More or
less excitement has followed this dis
covery, and dozens of people near the
river are hunting for gold on their
lands

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the whole

cOus surfaces. Such articles should never

is ten fold to the good you can possibly de-
rive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man

Rather risky
the offer that's made by the pro-
prletors of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. Risky for them. For you, if
you have Catarrh, it's certainty.
You're certain to be cured of it, or
TO be paid $500. That's what they
offer, and i'm good faith they cure
you, or pay you, no matter how bad
your case, or of how long standing.
Butts it so much of a risk |?
They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a time, but for all
time. They've watched it for years,
curing the most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such a
risk with such a medicine Z?
The only question is-are you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk ?
IF so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents and the
trial begins.

Monday night, about 7 O'Clock, a
snow slide occurred at the Big Creek

II miles south of town, sweeping the
ore house 100 yards from its founda-
ton. On the same night between
10 and IL o'clock another snow slide
occurred 400 feet above the ore house,
completely demolishing the black
smith shop and the powder house and
scattering and burying tools and giant
powder for 1900 feet down the mount
ain.
Had these slides occurred in the
day time the eight sorters, all young
boys, whose parents reside in Austin,
would have been instantly buried and
killed, but as it was none were hurt.

Paper From Sagebrush.

Robert Laing, a resident OF Boise
CITY, Idaho, has made discovery
which may be OF great value to the
sagebrush districts of Idaho, Utah
Nevada and other States. Some time
ago he became imbued with the idea
that the sagebrush might be con-
verted into the coarser grades OF
paper.
He secured wagon load OF the
supposedly useless shrubs and began
to experiment. By using the lime
process and treating the brush to a
protracted boiling. he secured pulp
that more than satisfied his expecta-
tons. 1t was equal to the very best
wood pulp and the presence OF long
and strong fiber was plainly demon
strated.
LANG states that he can manufac-
ture sage brush paper at a small
cost, and that he can make profit
by selling it at AZ cents pound.
He will start East on Monday, his
idea being to interest capitalists to
aid him in developing his discovery.

A Question.

The proposition to build creamery
near Austin is being discussed. There
is one thing about this creamery
business that we don't understand.
All of the butter used in this section
is bought in Western Nevada. Several
creameries have started operations in
that section recently, and butter is
% per cent. dearer in the market
here now than it was before those
creameries were established. Why
is it thus?
