Minister Whites Story OF . Chance Meet"
ing with . Former Now Yorker.
The American can always be trusted
to make his way, no matter what may
he his environments. A story told by
Andrew D. White, ex-minister to Ger
many and Russia, illustrates this fact.
Mr., White stated that once when he
was at Berlin, after all the diplomatic
corps had been duly presented to his
wife, the Chinese minister, in pursu-
ance to custom, brought round his
principal secretaries and presented
them to his colleagues. Among these
was a tall, fne-looking man, evidently
a European, dressed in superb court
costume and covered with gold lace.
AS his Chinese colleague introduced
him to Mr.. White in German, the con-
yersation was continued in that Ian
euage, when suddenly this splcndidly
dressed parsonage said in English:
"AIr. White, do not see why we should
be talking in German. come from
Waterloo, in western New York, and I
was educated at Rochester university
under your frined, DR.. Anderson" Mr..
White said that had the gentleman
dropped through the ceiling it would
not have seemed more surprising, and
that it was hard to believe that tahe
pretty little village Of Waterloo, or
even Rochester, with all the added pow
err of this noble university, should
have been able to develop . creature
so gorgeous. It turned out that the
gentleman concerned, after gradual
ing ut the University of Rochester,
had gone to China with certain mis-
sionaries, had then been taken into tho
Chinese service and had proved to be
thoroughly intelligent, patriotic man.

for changing all this. v

piteolsly. "And then when folks, got

pause, II shook the branches. 1t was
just like rain. But it want no use-it

Reuben's comm back in n little while
his aunt told me SO, and I'm SO old and
ugly he won't want met" She buried her
face in the pillow.
Presently she reached out thin hand
to the little table that always stood hy
her bed. She picked up the mirror,
not 4c:icing it was strange one, and
gazed in it. She started up excitedly.
Its true: it's true!" che cried, ler
poor wan features lighting up. II was
afraid it wouldn't be-ever! But it
said it would take time. Oh, lose, I'm
so glad kept it! Do you s'pose." she
whispered, TREMENDOUSLY, hell think
I'm much changed?'
The next day an unusual ripple ut
excitement rervaded the little village.
Mahala was dead, and it was reported
that her las: words were about Reuben
Davis. Mrs. Brown had heard what she
said, and the minister's wife, too.
They had run over that morning to see
how she was getting along. 1t was
just as Rose was supporting her in the
death struggle. "Tell him." she had
murmured, painfully, in great gasps,
tell him that never forgot him
never! And neutrality-suspicious.
-he-would-co -back-to-me.'
All this the town knew, with perhaps
some necessary additions and enlarge
ments-for it had passed through scv-
eral hands before making the rounds
but what it didn't know was how faith
fully the two neigEbors had pledged
to each other inviolable secrecy con-
corning it. It didn't know how they
mad tiptoed out of the kitchen-thc bed
room was just adjoining and Rose
hadn't seen them--their hearts filed
with q dim sense of the pathos and So
credness of it all, and had declared to
each other that they would never tell
anyone-never. No one should ever
know the truth but themselves. They
would wait outside few minutes, and
then go in as though they had just
come.
OF all this, the town knew nothing,
nor of the struggle there had been be-
tween the sense of what was right, on
the one side-and the habits of l'fc'
time on the other-jolned, it may be-
to the inherited proclivities of genera
lions.
A week later, Reuben Davis and his
young bride stood above Mahala's
grave. The painted board with her

south will disappear in proportion as

that the whites want or respect, can
make the white man dependent on the
negro for something instead Of all the

spent in starting dairy farm or truck

Births, Marriages and Deaths

In a recent issue of the Elko indie
pendent appear II list of the births, mar
riages, and deaths in Elko county for
the year 1896, so far as recorded in the
recorders office, and that it is incom7
plete and almost useless for future refer
ence. The law requiring the recording
OF certificates OF birth, marriages and
deaths is evaded more and more every
year and will soon become a dead letter
in this country. This ought not to be,
as those statistics are of vital Importance
and those who officiate at births, marri-
ages and funerals should see that the
proper certificates are filed with the re-
corder. There is no charge for recording
these certificates, so there can be no ex-
cuse on the ground of cost for not obey
ing the law. 1t is simply a case of neg
lect on the part of those whose duty it
is to file the proper certificate with the
recorder, and for which they are liable
to a forfeit of not less than $40 nor more
than $50 to be recovered in a civil action
by any II who feels sgrieved by such
neglect. 1t is hoped that the law in this
matter will be obeyed in the future.

Frozen 10 Death.


Saturday morning about daylight
when freight train No. 6 pulled Into the
yard here, Indian Snowfall was found
on the rear steps OF the caboose insensl-
bic from the intense cold. lie was taken
into the car shop but died there In a lew
minutes. When found his hand was
frozen to the hand rails OF the caboose
and were loosened after consi lerable
difficulty. In al ~probliity he boarded
the train at Winnemucra to ride to
Wadsworth and slowly froze to death.
His condition was naturally veal,
he being partially paralyzed and Grip
pied from birth, the inheritance OF inn
moral p~rogenitors. He was a terrible
yet pitiable illustration OF the truth OF
the saying that the sins OF the pareu $
are visited upon the children ever to
the third generation
The writer remembers that when
SNOWFALL WAS a child of four or five
years OF age he could not stand erect bat
used to move around the Indian camp,
east OF town, on all tours entirely naked
in the warm weather.
SNOWFALL was one of the towns char
acters and was known by everybody,
young and old. With the white people
he was always pleasant and cheerful and
he received from them many contribu-
tons OF footi, old clothing and footwear.
He had about the most extensive ward
robe of any Indian in the State and in
all kinds OF weather generally wore two
two suits OF clothes at one time. What
he left at home was generally stolen
from him by some OF the other bucks.
He was quite a joker and played innu-
merable pranks to the joy of the other
Piutes when he did not have an audience
of white people. The writer once visited
the Pyramid Lake Indian reservation to
see a big pow-wow the Piutes were hav-
ing to entain some Bannock visitors.
A team OF Piute bucks arrayed in
breech-clouts, their faces and bodies
painted goreeously, on their heads huge
wigs Of horse hair Interpreted with
hawk plumes, were given the war dance
with much ceremony and u correspond
ing dignity. The audience was in wrapt
attention when SNOWFALL stole into the
ring, gotten up regardless az to his head
dress and Tor the altogether otherwise,
and began to mimic the wal dancers. It
was too much and a howl of rage went
up from hundreds of throats. He was
hustled rather violently from the scene.
Snowfall always had a body guard OF
bucks who followed in his train to share
his dinner. his clothes or his money.
When on parade he val the but of all
their jokes and they frequently tormen-
ted him until he got angry and then he
would throw at them anything that
came handy.
But poor SNOWFALL has gone the way
Of all flesh and his frozen m~isshappen
body is in the cold earth. That puuy
frame will no longer amble up and
down the streets OF Wadsworth silently
crying charity and those lips will never
again gratefully thank those who were
kind to him. 1t is better thus.
