Always he Cheerful.

An exchange very sensibly remarks
that the way to succeed is to be cheer
full. The merchant who always has n
CHEEKY smile for his customers, who
has a good word to say for his town
and his trade, makes money. And
what is true of a man is also true OF
n town, which is made up OF a lot of
men. When u town gets grumpy and
blue, pessimishc and discouraged and
begins to talk about its hard luck and
its debts and its taxes, it is gone.
The way for n town to go ahead, get
big and rich, is to always put the best
face on things, to talk only about the
things that made it pleasant TO live
there and that promises prosperity in
the future. Whenever "a mar can't
say something gocd for the town in
which he lives, he should keep silent.
And when he can keep no longer 81
lent he should move ont.

Evan Howell. "when we were about
to drive up to a tavern. Standing on
the porch was n rough looking but
one of those %ignorantly shrewd old
fellows one finds back in the hills.
@.Do you see that old fellow on the
porch!' said my companion. There's
a man who would no more admit him
self in ignorance of a subject than
he'd fall in II well. He doesn't know
the difference between setting n
watch and setting u hen, and yet you
could ask him questions all day, and
whether he V heard OF the subject
or not, he'd unheasitatingly answer
every one OF them, and fight you il
You disputed or doubted him.

Attic end OF the present month The
Virginia agency OF the Bank OF Ne
yada closes its doors. The history OF
this big financial landmark is n Of
the romanoes OF modern money max.
ing.
The big Bonanza firm sprung into
life from a secret drift that Jim Fair
ran under Best & Belcher from Gould
& Curry. It tapped the big treasure
vault OF the Comstock and poured
three hundred millions into the laps
of four men.
Fred Smith was the only man be-
side Fair who knew of the find, and
Fair feared that Smith would spring
the sensation before the control Of the
mine could be secured. Fair paid
kosser n liberal sum to make way
with Smith, and the poor fellow was
beaten 20 that he died OF his injuries.
Kosser kept up his demands on Fair
until he was sent away to Mazatlan,
and one dark night he went overheard
and that was the last OF Kim.
Fred Smiths ghost haunted Fair to
his dying day and the memory of the
past made the man OF man. millions
miserable to the end. Whoever
dreamed fifteen years ago that the
agency of the Nevada Bank IN Vir.
ginia City would ever close its doors?
At one time the capital OF the Bank OF
Nevada was rated by the hundred
millions. There was a titantic struggle
between the Sharon forces and the
Bonanza firm years ago.

financial drama are in their graves
and the agency of the Nevada Banl

from the accumulation OF gas in one o.
the boilers, and Fireman Ed Abplanalr

boiler flying closely to his head, taking
off his hat. The end and side of the
boiler was blown out and part OF the main
f1ue, and work was at standstill in the

nection was made with another boiler.
The damage to the brick work around
the boiler and to the large tiue required
the replacing of 5000 bricks.
