II Was Politics For Him Not TO Know Ex-
Judge Dittenhoefer.

1t Was Politics For Him Not TO Know Ex-
Judge Dittenhoefer.
Most Of the stories worth printing
about the famous Chicago convention Of
1880 have been published, but here is one
that seems to be new: Ex-Judge Ditten-
hoefer was in Chicago working against
Grant and third term. Bernard Big
lin was there In the interest Of Grant.
Both were old personal friends. The
night before the balloting began Biglin
and two others were appointed COM
mittee to look after several southern
delegations, among them being the Ken
tucky delegation.
When Biglin and his associates ar
rived at the Kentucky headquarters, they
found that Dittenhoefer had got ahead
of them. He had the floor and was de-
livering strong speech against Grant,
saying, among other things, that Grant
could not carry New York. Biglin saw
that Dittenhoefer's remarks were having
great weight, and he realized that he
was no match for him as talker What
to do to break the force of Dittenhoefer's
speech was the problem that confronted
Biglin. This was the method he Sc
lected. In the midst Of Dittenhoefer's
peroration Biglin called out in loud
voice, "Who Is that mani"
"Why, he is ex-Judge Dittenhoefer Of
New York." said member Of the Ken
lucky delegation.
"Oh, no; that's not Judge Dittenhoe-
fer" said Biglin. II know Judge Often
hoefer well. This man may pretend to
be Dittenhoefer TO strangers, but he
knows better than to try to work any
such racket with New Workers. 1 tell
you he's fraud"
Suspicious glances were cast at Often
hoefer by members of the Kentucky del
egation. The former got red in the face
and walked up to Biglin. Barney" he
said, holding out his hand, "that's a
pretty good joke of yours, not to know
me-"
"Joke," shouted Biglin in contempt.
"It's no joke, can tell you. will just
bet you SEQ that you are not Judge Dit
tenhoefer Of New York" Biglin -four
ished q $50 bill in Dittenhoefer's face.
OF course he had to accept the chal-
lenge. The money was put up in the
hands Of a member of the delegation.
Dittenhoefer hurried away to get some
one to identify him. When he returned,
Biglin had disappeared, likewise the
stakeholder. After the convention Dit
tenhoefer met Biglin in the hotel CORR.

Why do cats eyes shine in the dark

idle Days In Patagonia" raises this
question without answering IL. He shot
and wounded an eagle owl, and the sight
of the bird, he says, was one of the
greatest surprises with which nature
ever favored him. The owls haunt was
an island overgrown with grass and tall
willows. Thither Mr.. Hudson went to-
ward evening and found him upon his
perch waiting for sunset. He eyed the
Intruder 30 calmly as almost to disarm
him, but hunters of specimens have n
way of hardening their hearts. Mr..
Hudson fired. The owl swerved on his
perch, remained suspended for few mo-
ments and then slowly futtered down.
He says:

his wounds and ready for the last su-
preme effort. Even in repose he Is O big,

The irides were of q bright orange
color, but every time I attempted to ap-
proach the bird they kindled into great
globes of quivering yellow fame, the
black pupils being surrounded by scin-
tillating crimson light which threw out
minute yellow sparks into the air. When
I retired from the bird, this preternatu-

The question as to the cause of this
fiery appearance is one hard to answer.

size of the farm was 1872 acres, and
the average value of products 1922
per acre. The number of irrigaters
was ,167. These figures reveal the
truth about the agriculture of the.
State. Prosperous irrigated farms,
where scientific and intensive Gull
tivation are pcacticed, do not aver
age as high as 1872 acres each. Nor
does the value of their product run
as low as 1892 per acre. The fact
is that in Nevada, as in some other
parts of the arid region, irrigation
is principally nothing but an ad-
junct of the stock business. It ex-
lists as a means of,supplying Winter
feed for cattle and sheep. That is
not reclamation in its high, true
sense. Small diversified farms,
watered and cultivated on scientific
principles, would make very diff
erent showing in Nevada. This is
one of the facts abundantly demon
strated by the exhibit at the fair.
Such farms will be worth nearer
500 than Sal per acre, the figure
given in the census bulletin.

VIM. Perry is getting some good
ore out of his claim.
The Pollard mill, leased by Ed
and VIM. McTigue, is now running
on some second class rock from the
Scheel mine.
There are about twenty men now
at work on the Red jacket mine,
and the Company is having some
ore worked at the Dazet mill.
Connors, Byers and Murphy are
taking some good ore from the old
Silver City mine. They have a run
Of ore now at the Pollard mill.
Ben Wilson has out a big crush
ing of ore which he will have worked
at the Taylor mill in a couple OF
weeks. This ore is high grade.
The Foote Bros. had thirty-four
tons of low grade ore from their
mine crushed in the Dazet mill last
week. Another crushing of higher
grade ore will be made in a couple
of weeks.
The Oest mine started up last
week. 1t is now being run by the
Company, the lease that other par
ties had of it having expired. A.
J.. Taylor is foreman of the mine,
and the richness of the ore does not
diminish much.
Lothrop, Hardwick and Brown
had lot of ore worked at the Daz-
ct mill lart week that turned out
quite rich. This ore was from the
now celebrated shaft where the skel-
eton of the woman and horse were
recently found.
The Haywood Company has quite
force of men at work at the pres
ent time. Ore is being extracted
regularly. The last run of rock at
Taylor's mill turned out very well,
and the Company will soon have
another crushing ready for ship
ment.
A large force Of men will be put
on the Combination Tunnel by
Heating next week. Another strike
in the Northern Belle ground,
through which the tunnel runs, was
made last week. The new ledge is
about two feet wide, and the ore
goes about 800 per ton.

To Young Farmers.

An old gentleman of experience
writes as follows:
When the proper time comes, and
you have saved some money, start
out for yourself. Don't. start too
soon. 1t is easier to make thous-
and dollars now as an employee
than it will be in the first few years
of running things for; yourself.
Don't deceive yourself ewith the
idea that you know it all. Nobody
has ever got to this. alarming degree
of perfection yet. It is wisdom to
take and keep ,the attitude of a
learner now and in later life. 1t is
we'll not to have too much faith in
others, but be equally anxious to
avoid becoming suspicious man.
There is not scarcity of honest
men in the world.
Keep yourself well informed as
to what is going on in your town
and State especially, and have a
general knowledge of the worlds
affairs. Such information is OBJ
tainable only through good papers,
but for every five dollars expended
for these you will get ten totwenty
dollars in return.
Avoid enterprises with which you
are not acquainted, that are foreign
to your business, especially if you
are to furnish the money, or labor,
which is the same thing, and some
body else tho experience.
Never be jealous of the success of
another. Nothing so embitters life
as the nnattainable or whimpering
for "what might have BEEN"
