Papers were filed last Saturday at
Reno in the district court praying for
the appointment Of DR.. G. A. Thoma
as guardian of Mrs. Alice NJ. Hartley's
child, alleged to be the son and heir OF
the late NJ. ID. Foley. The prayer was
granted and Judge Cheney appointed
DIR. Thoma guardian, with bond fixed
at 5000. @. T. Bender and VIM.
Thompson are bondsmeL for DIR.
Thoma. IL is understood that suit
will be commenced against the estate
of NJ. ID. Foley for the child's portion.
Judge Mayenbaum OF San Francisco
and James +. Dennis Of Reno are the
child's legal representatives in the pro-
posed contest, says the Gazette.
The contest involves the large estate
of which Mr.. Foley died possessed,
and will be watched with interest by
the legal PATERNITY. IL is estimated
the estate is worth between $500, 900
and $500 1000. II is not at all likely
that the suit will in anywise ieopar-
die the widows interest.-Silyer

THE 4 n

The issuing Of aluminium coins by
the DeLamar company in Lincoln
county, may prove to be a very serious
affair to the company. Section 5,46l
Of the revised statutes of the United
States reads as follows:
Every person who, except as au-
thorized by law, makes or causes to
be made, or utters or passes, or at
tempts to utter or pass, any coins Of
gold or silver or other metals, OF alloys
Of metals, intended for the use and
purpose Of current money, whether in
the resemblance Of coins Of the United
States or of foreign countries, or Of
original design, shall be punished by
a fine OF not more than three thous-
and dollars, or by Imprisonment, not
more than five years, or both"
This is explicit and the penalty is
severe. The government tolerates no
devices that may be used as a substi-
tute for coin Of the United States and
the DeLamsr company may have to
pay for establishing a private mint in
Lincoln county.

The weber Murderer.

Ivan Kovaley, the young Russian
who is locked up in the Comfy Jail
awaiting trial for the murder OF +. H..
l.. Weber and his wife, is not, appar-
emily, worried over his trying situa-
ton. Instead Of crowding himself into
a corner OF his cell and brooding over
his predicament, he devotes must Of
his time to singing. As his songs are
in Russian language, however, no one
about the Jail knows whether he is
rendering religious hymns. sentimental
songs or comic ditties. II is said that
he has a sweet tenor voice. Kovaley
claims he used to sing in a church
choir before he was banished from
Russia to Siberia. Sheriff Johnson
and his deputies keep a close watch
upon the Russian to prevent his cheat
ing OF justice by committing suicide in
some manner.-Sac. Bee.

Leeds, Me-, specifies seventeen

bicycles as Revenue Producers

An ingenious idea has been hit upon
by the president OF a Canada railway
for creating travel on the company's
cars. Along the railroad, running
some distance out Of the city, the COM
pany has allowed bicyclists to construct
a cinder path, for their W convent
ence, as well as giving the company
better b~allasting on the road. The
only revenue the company expects to
derive from the path is from the fares
of the wives and families of the riders
who take the cars to watch the wheel
men practice. AS the riders of wheel
in Toronto number about 10000, the
enterprise of the railway company is
likely to be well rewarded.

A fat, middle-aged woman, with a
voice between q grunt and a groan, sat
on a bench at Piedmont with her
twelve-year-old boy and watched the
bathers splashing and spluttering
around in the tank. The heat was
sweltering and the boy begged and
pleaded to be allowed to go into the
water. He promised to pull all the
weeds out of the garden, to carry in
wood for a week without being told
and to wipe the dishes every night.
"No; I'm afraid you'll drosnd,"ds-
clared the cautious mother, but there
were evidences Of indecision in her
voice. II she had said: "Shut up;
you shan't," the boy would have
known bis fate was sealed.
"I1l wheel the baby every morn
ing" he added, by way of q further
bride.
The fat woman mopped her perspir-
ing face, looked at the crowd and
snapped:
well, go on; but If you drownd
you can't blame me-"
The boy was soon splashing and
padding around. He had assured his
mother that he could swim a little and
she eyed him narrowly to find out IL he
had been lying. The boy had got out
into deep water when his head went
under. His mother thought ii was
merely n of the boys tricks, and
kept her seat. He came up all right,
but looking frightened, f1oundered a
moment and went down again. He
was under a little longer and bubbles
came up where his head ought to be.
Up he bobbed again, splashing and
trying to cry for help. He was just
sinking for the third time when his
mother sprang to the edge Of the tank,
and shaking her fist at the boy,
screamed:
"You Simon Peter Batesl Don't
you dare drownd or I'll just skin you
alive"
The boy saw the fist and heard the
threat, and with his face contorted
with fear kicked out desperately and
kept afioat till some Of the bathers
lifted him out. The terrible threat
saved his life. He didn't dare drown.

A good story is told at the expense
Of a prominent Chestnut street hotel
keeper. Employed as a porter about
the hotel was an elderly man named
Mike, who had been an attache Of the
hotel for eight years. His most promi-
nent feature, and, one Of which he was
very proud, was a beard of luxuriant
growth. One day last week the pro-
prietor Of the hostelry was pacing the
lobby when Mike happened to pass.
The proprietor was in a very disagree
able frame of mind, and he stopped
and looked at Mike with an evil light
in his eye.
"Come here, you'll" he yelled at the
porter. "How long have you been
here 2"
Nigh on to eight years, sor."
We'll, you've been here long
enough. You needn't come back to-
morrow. I'm tired of seeing you
about"
The poor porter was thunderstruck.
He went to his friend. the day clerk,
and told him all about it. "WhatTl
Oh do?" said he. "Oi've a wolfe an
family for T. support, An Oh can't get
another job"
The clerk thought for a monet and
then said suddenly:
81 have it. You go home and shave
off your beard, and then go to the boss
and tell him you heard he needed q
porter"
Mike followed this advice the next
day and secured the situation, becom-
ing his own successor. The proprietor
has never suspected the trick

How 60 Grow Alfalfa.

The above is the title OF a pamphlet
by G. w. Irish of Washington. 1t
gives directions for the choice and prep
aration Of soil, for sowing the seed,
and for the management of the crop
in semi-arid regions, both with or
without irrigation. The author states
that the seed furnishes a valuable dye
stuff and that for this use large guam
titles of seed are exported from this
country to France. Several examples
illustrating the depth to which alfalfa
roots penetrate, and several instances
of a successful catch OF alfalfa secured
without irrigation on light, sage-brush
land, by simply narrowing the sur
face, without ploughing, are given.
On mountain slopes in Nevada it is
claimed that the plant withstands ex-
tremely low temperatures. Young
frosted shoots may induce bloating in
animals, as will overlooking with
green alfalfa.
