A gentleman employed bv one OF
the largest trims In the city took n
sudden notion for raising fancy
chickens as a means OF increasing his
yearly sum. He purchased an incu-
bator, several hundred eggs and some
full ll-blooded Plymouth Rock hens
The incubator was filed with choice
eggs and at the end OF three weeks a
goodly number OF chickens had
hatched. The care OF the chicks
was left upon Mrs -, who boiled
eggs and made hash for them to eat
In the meantime, one OF the Ply
mouth Rock hens had hecn given a
sitting OF choice eggs. The time
elapsed for the eggs 10 hatch and no
chickens made their appearance.
Two or three days passed by and still
no signs OF any chickens from those
eggs Al last Mrs. - decided she
would break just one TO see II some
thing could really bc the matter.
She found that she had made mis-
take and got the eggs from the wrong
jar. She had placed fifteen hard
boiled eggs VIII ch she intended IN
feed TO the little chicks hatched from
the incubator under the old hen in
stead OF the choice ones purchased
expressly for the purpose OF setting
the hen. The sympathy OF the Hu.
name Society will certainly be aroused
when IL learns that that hen was
given another sitting OF eggs and
compelled To sit three weeks longer.

It Does Not Matter.

Last Sunday minister in Chicago
delivered a sermon on the theme of
will George Pullman go to Heaven?"
He would not go unless he could 90
on special car, and there is no evil
dence to show that Pullmans are run
on that line. No man could ever pay
sleeping car accommodations on u
Pullman and fee the porter on his ar
rival at the Golden City without hav-
ing such record that st. Peter would
doubly bar the pearly gate at his APP
proach. But it is not a matter of
consequence whether George Pull
man will go to Heaven or not. The
question is, is George Pullman carry
ing heaven around with him nova
days? Is hesleeping quietly at night?
Is his soul congratulating him on the
fact that he has plenty of money, and
that it is no matter whether the at
tics In the town of Pullman are a lit
hot these nights for the women and
little children who went to bed with
out any supper, or not? The most
reasonable belief in heaven is that the
chemical change called death does
not affect the soul; that we start ont
in the other world very much as we
leave this. Is Mr.. George Pullman
happy? Does he think that what he
has earned altogether, or that he has
been very lucky, which is only an
other way to say that God has been
very good to him? And what insur-
ance Is he paying that his wealth will
be secure to him and his children?
Can all his money buy all his own
self respect and hold it for him?
That is the point. 1t is not whether
after while Pullman VIII go to heav-
en- or not, but is his life on earth any
special satisfaction to him? Why
should preacher worry about
whether George Pullman goes to
heaven or not when there is an inter
vening theme, which is whether
George Pullman, with the gifts which
have been bestowed upon him, is such
member of society as will make it a
matter of any regret, when the time
comes. whether he goes to heaven or
whether his sOul takes the other

From rough estimate of the assessed
ment roll, Assessor Eg. ers informs
the INDEPENDENT that it will foot up
about S4,4l1,2 7O. falling off from
last year Of about s4OO,,OO. This de-
crease is due largely to the fact that
cattle, horses and sheep are assessed
lower this year than last on account
of their decrease in value.
Considering the great depression in
all kinds of business curing the year
Assessor Eggers has made splendid
showing for Elko county.
