A NEVADA JOKE.
How n wag Played 1t on IN Innocent Wis
iting Sportsman.

q
iting Sportsman.
Nothing can be more interesting in
IN ordinary way than the fate OF practi.
cal jokers Shooters and sportsmen gen
orally will appreciate the latest from
Eureka, New. Bent ON landing game, a
visitor held forth in his hotel with re-
gard to his ability to bring quail to
earth. Among the audience was wag,
who, being sport himself, was DESTROYS
of testing tho foreigners ability as G
shot.
"We do not shoot quail" said he,
1--WE bag them, and if you want to &C
out you may do SO tonight and see bet
ter fun than any gun can furnish. "
Accordingly the sol disant gamestel
journeyed out from a small hotel in
Nevada to see the extraordinary plan by
which quail could be "bagged" at night
time The party walked two miles int
the hills and arranged trap by laying
down 80 pieces of candle in V shape
Into this" they explained, 1--WE Nrivt
the quail, and one Of us holds sack al
the end of tho V. into which the quai
run" By a previous arrangement al
argument was commenced as to who
should have the honor of holding thu
sack and securing the birds while tn,
remainder did the hard work of beating
them toward the trap.
When the point was apparently set
tied, one of the party said: "No, this i.
not fair. Mr. de - is our guest, ant
as such is entitled to hold the sack.
Generously enough, to the boastini
sportsman was given the honor of hold
ing bag bound at the mouth to hool
so as to catch tho birds. All the other
left to beat up quail. For three hour
the visitor faithfully held that sack, an(
when the last candle burned out. h,
found himself in the midst of lonely
valley, which was full Of deserted shafts
and other dangerous holes, two miles
from any house and surrounded by
darkness which resembles stack O.
black cats. When he arrived at this
hotel and found that his cohunters hat
been there enjoying the joke for hours,
he simply went to bed and wept. H,
sold his gun next morning and left for
California - state where, he says,
people would not do such a thing

Curative Cold Bath.

People who have nervous prostration,
headaches, the blues or dyspepsia, who
take cold easily, who are subject to ir-
ritability, who lead sedentary lives.
who need their wits about them all the
time, and who are not making the prog
ress they desire, should get addicted to
the cold bath habit. 1t is not only
cleansing, but curative, stimulating,
encouraging and invigorating. 1t is

The longer the Democratic party con-
tinues its rule and ruin policy of national
administration the worse is the condition
of the treasury department.. We have
heard enough of the great increase in rev.
enue that was to follow the passage of the
new tariff bill, yet we find that the gov
ernment's receipts from all sources last
month were nearly &, 100000 less than in
September, 1898. one of the months of
greatest depression. Perhaps Democrats
will claim the tariff bill has not got to
working yet

against the sugar schedule of the Cor

with retaliatory legislation. The Demo-

pleasing foreigners with its tariff legislation !;
but this particular feature of the Thimblerig
