Be careful how you circulate a story
detrimental to the character of a
says an exchange. Your wife is a won-
an. Your sweetheart is or will be a
woman. All, there is nothing so sacred
in this world to a man as a woman's
character! Better that a dozen women
GO without public censure than that one
poor innocent should suffer from slam
derous gossip.
In the town of Bernice, Churchill Co.,
six years ago over 100 men were emyloy-
ed in the mines. To-day there is one
man in the town and he is watching the
property. The Gar OF the United States
can explain the cause of the desertion Of
this mountain town. There is thousands
of tons OF ore in sight ready to take out
for the mill. 1t will always be so as
long as we have a one mar rule in this
country.-Reveille.
A Chinaman sent the following unique
description OF a piano to a Chinese pa
per: "The Americans keep a large.
four-legged beast which they car make
sing at will. A man, or more frequent
y a woman, or even a feeble girl sits
down in front of the animal and steps on
its tail, while at the same time striking
its white teeth with his or her fingers,
when the creature begins to sing. The
beast does not bite, nor does it move,
though it is not tied up.-Ex.
Fred L. Gould, having just returned
from the Humboldt, the water in the
river and at the sink very high. 1t has
become necessary from the a~bove-named
cause to stop the work on the tunnel OF
thd Humboldt Reclamation Co. Mr..
Gould says that the work will be resum-
ed as oon as the situation will allow it
to proceed. He reports the crop pros
poets in that part of the country very
good, and a heavy rain that visited that
section a few days ago encouraged the
stockmen.-Journal.
Scolding is worse than useless. " it'll
children it arouses a%ntagonism, if only
because angry looks and feelings are go
contagious. One should wait until the
irritation subsidies before correcting any
one. A reprimand given in the presence
of others is apt to arouse q feeling OF
mortified pride that quite utilities any
impression that might otherwise be
made, and it is an exceptional person
that can be trusted to be the bearer of
scolding. 1t is apt to gather force en-
route. Argument betve cen parents and
children is unseemly, and it is always
best to avoid letting the point of contest
become too important.
