Il part OF lnG GREAT NcpuDllC,
seems to be the burning ques-
ton of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads
than ours to solve; and while
great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentous question,
we want to have little "b07V-
7yo7v " with you on some other
subjects, that concern you as
well as ourselves.
Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these
progressive times if you intend
to be lin it, you've got to keep
pace with fashion. No matter
how otherwise we'll dressed
you may be, unless your hat is
the correct thing you bear a
shabby appearance.
We have already laid in a
stock of the Latest Hats of the
coming Spring and Summer
styles, in hard felts, soft felts
and straws, and including line
Of the celebrated " FEDORA ."
Hats, at present all the rage in
the United States. There is
therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
old Tile that bears such a
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore"
Believing that business will
be better in the near future, we
have not hesitated to keep our
stock full in all lines. Take
collars for instance: We have
almost everything you could
wish for. If you wear a stand
ing collar, just come in and
take look at our "Narenta"
or "Ardonia )" or if you prefer
a turn down collar, try the
"Winnipeg" or "Goswell;" we
have have lots of others, and
can't fail to suit you. Cuffs in
abundance, links or otherwise.
Neckwear in profusion, scarfs
windsors Ain hands, and a
special lot Of " Boys Bows"
5uspenders in great variety,
Gather and woven ends, good
serviceable goods.
We might go on indefinitely,
but space is valuable, and to
enumerate everything we carry
would fill a pretty fair sized
Book. If there is anything
you want in the mems line,
just drop in and see us, and if
we can't suit you, we don't be-
IleVe any one can.
If you should want a pair of
nice shoes, let us try a hand at
lifting you. Did it ever occur
% you
How much man is like his shoes;
'or instance, both a soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are made
tight by Cobblers;
Both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete;
md both are made to go on feet.
hey both need healing; oft are sold,
md both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
he first shall be the last; and when
he shoes wear out, they're mended
new;
When men wear out, they're men dead
too.

New Ideas !

A merchant is nowhere
unless abreast of the times.
We have gotten several
new ideas through the OBJ
servation of Mr.. T. !.
King, while on the coast
and we propose not only
to profit by them ourselves
but to give our customers

As time rolls on, we
shall gradually unfold our
new ideas to the mutual
benefit of our customers
and ourselves.
Call and be convinced

propositions.

BUt There Were Tears. and Bitter Ones,
Shed for Him. s

BHt ThHr0 Were Tears, and Bitter Ones,
. Shed for Him.
'It's only one of them pesky tramps,
Bill" said a brakeman to his compan-
ion, as the lights from two lanterns fell
on the form of man mangled as only
a railroad train can mangle. 81 sup
pose we will have to get him into the
caboose and leave him at the station."
They gathered up the remains as
best they could, says the New York
Recorder, and, after getting them
aboard the train, gave the signal to go
ahead.
Yes, he was only tramp. The
brakeman addressed as Bill had seen
the man fall between two cars while
stepping from one to another. The
train had been stopped, and the two
railroaders went back to see what
damage had been done. In the ca
boose they made a search of the dead
mans clothes. They didn't find much;
no money, not even knife. In the in
side pocket of the ragged vest was a
greasy-loolzing envelope. In taking
out the letter n tiny band of gold fell
to the floor. While one picked up the
ring the other read the letter. 1t had
been we'll fingered, and there were I'M
mistakable spots that only tears could
have caused. The handwriting was a
woman's, and read as follows:
Dear Jim: Mary is dead, and in
her last words she inquired for papa.
She missed you SO much, and never
seemed to be well after you went. I
am sorry, Jim, for what I said that
night, and if you will come back
will never complain and worry you
any more. send you Mary's ring;
you remember when you got it for her.
Please come back to your wife"
That was all. The wife had heard
in some way where her husband was
and had sent him the letter. It oc-
CURED to one of the brakemen to look
at the postmark, and with difficulty it
was seen that it was month old, and
that it was that of the very place at
which they had decided to leave the
dead body.
Jim must have met with misfortune,
and was stealing his way home, which
he reached only to be carried out and
laid beside little Mary.

An Old English Custom.

The candidates for bailiff in the town
of Alnwick, North England, just be-
fore the election ride in procession to
n horse pond near the town, dismount
and struggle through the mud and
water as best they can. They are &C
companied by brass band and all the
population of the town and neighbor-
hood. The custom dates from the time
of King John, who visited the town in
1910. The roads were very bad and
some of his baggage wagons had to be
left in the mire. On his arrival he in
quircd who was responsible for the
condition of the roads, and learning
that the bailiffs were to blame ordered
them to be seized and dragged through
the nearest pond.

AGAINST THE CESsION OF ARID
LANDS.

At the International Irrigation
Congress now being held at Los An
Reles.a resolution presented by Dele
gate Kinney against the cession OF
arid lads to the States md Terri
tories in which the lands are situated
provoked prolonged applause. The
resolution expressed the determined
sentiment Of the Irrigation Congress
against the proposed cession by the
United States of arid lands in the
West to the several States. Among
the reasons set forth for this position
were tho facts that few streams of
importance are entirely in any one
State or Territory; that the school
and swamp land controlled by the
States has been largely under ring
rule and that such cession would re
suit in waste, ineaiciency, corruption,
in fact in nothing but evil.
The resolution is in accord with
public sentiment on the bill intro
duced at the instigatiou of ring by
Warren Of Wyoming in the last Con-
gress. Powers Of Montana exposed
the job and showed that it was being
engineered in the interest of eyudi-
cate, whose object WAS to get control
of the arid lands, which comprise
about all there is left of the public
domain Powers expose and the OPP
position Of several newspapers in the
arid region that are not controlled by
corporations, prevented the passage
Of the bill, but it is likely to be INTRO
duced again in the present Congress,
Nevada has arid lands for sale at
81 % per acre in quantities to suit
purchasers. The price Of these lands
were doubled at one time for pur-
pose and were reduced for a consid-
GRAFTON. It was stated by those who
were in position to know, that those
who had authority to raise or lower
the price of lands offered to fix the
price at fifty cents an acre if paid II
specific suLn for doing 80. Those
who have the welfare OF Nevada at
heart and are not thu tools and
he2chmen OF corporations do not care
TO have the public domain placed at
the disposal Of such persons and
therefore oppose it's oession by Con-
Rress to the States.-Rene Journal.
