TWO MEN IN CARSON CITY.

Because in Carson City
Two men are going TO fight,
You hear 1t in the morning,
You hear 1t in the night,
You hear 1t on the corners.
You hear ii on the cars:
And men not too befuddled
May hear it ut the bars.
You hear it in the big hotels
And in the small cafes,
Discussed by merchant princes.
BY Solomons and jays:
The first thing in the morning
The last thing in the night,
That out in Carson City
Two men are going to fight.
Because in Carson city
Two men are going to fight.
The country doesn't rest by day
Nor sleep wink at night.
And men who lately th!rsted
To go to war with Spain
Are walking out to Carson
or waiting for the train.
OF arbitration treaties
Men never say word;
OF tariff plans and silver bills
No syllable is heard.
The turbaned Turk, the men of Greece
And Crete are lost to sight,
Because in Carson City
Two men are going to fight.

the car backed block and stopped
in front of her door, threatening all
kinds of dire vengeance unless her de-
mand was complied with.
our attention was called to another
system of annoyance sometime ago
whereby the motOrman of the open car
is made to suffer. The car was run
ming at rapid rate when suddenly
woman sitting on one of the seats near
the front leaned forward and raised
her poised parasol in the air. For an
instant her arm shot out and the point
of the umbrella stick struck the motor
man sQuarely under the NTH rib near
the spine. please stop the car she
was about to say. but her voice was
drowned by the roar of the car runner
who yelled keep your blankety blank
old umbrella to homel" as his hand
sought the part of his body that had
been speared. The conductor rang the
bell everybody laughed and the wo-
man alighted evidently very much
shocked. you haven't any idea of the
force a woman can put behind an um-
brella stick" growled the motorman
as the car moved on. why my ribs
are sore all summer from Just such
pokes given by passengers who haven't
sense enough to turn around ana signal
to the conductor when they want to
get off"
In addition to these annoyances the
life Of the conductor is made burden
some by spoilers, section superintend-
ents, and other officials who are con-
stantly endeavorng to detect some one
in breaking the rules. This constant
vigilance is of course necessary to dis
ciplne but it is often very annoying
where misapplied. II say ----," said
one of the superintendent to a we'll
known and faithful conductor the other
day, why do you continually eat breath
lo2enges?" oh | like 'cm, and they
are good for the stomach" was the
reply. You are eating them SO that
the passengers won't smell beer about
you?" mo, sir" "Will you swear that
you are not eating the candy to kill the
smell of beer?" yes, sir! ! WILL"
was the reply, because / don't drink
beer | always drink Whiskey." Get
on your car was all the superintend-
ent could say, and the conductor con-
tinues to take things for his breath,
though he always attends strictly to
business.

communicative fare collector one day.
You know, one of these fellows re-
Gently got a run on the Green Ridge
line and when night came he claimed
to have forty cents too much in his
own pSciet. After asking advice from
several car men some one advised him
to put the money in an envelope and
hand ii in at the office. He did so with
polite note of explanation. "Of
steady position" Not much, They kept
the forty cents and bounced him next
day. You know" added the story teller,
with a twinkle in his eye lin this bust
ness it don't do for fellow to be too
honest"
Perhaps from q peruSal of these Incl
dents the average street car patron will
learn to meet the employees of the Trac-

matter of courtesy, politeness and for

Education and Agriculture.

The Galveston News considers the
present rush of the bright young men
of the rural districts to the cities and
in this country Of iliterate immigra-
tiOr in order to sustain u peasant
class. This is a philosophy eminently
Southern. But the News overlooks two
important facts. one is that the more
ignuran- the immigrant, the greater is
the probability that he will add him
self to the already congested urban
population; and the other is. that the
best farmers that came to us from the
old world come from such countries
as Germany and Scandinavia, where
the percentage of illiteracy is lowest.
When the News charges that the
vices, eXtraVagances, Establishments
and glitter of urban life are absorbing
the native energy and manhood Of the
farms just in the proportion that edu-
cation is diffused in rural districts" it
utters one of those half truths which,
according to the prOVerb, are more
mendacious than an equal number Of
whole lies. 1t is true that enlighton-
ment leads usually to unrest, which
eventually produces a change in social
conditions. And that style Of eduea-
tion which locates all its heroes in
dress suits and pictures its Itl Dorados
exclusively as cities made up of brown
stone fronts may, indeed, have the eff
feet on the farmer boy to fiji his mind
with dreams Of urban conquest and
thus be instrumental in acceleratlnr
the drift of population from country to
city. But just as the Imagination of
the rustic youth is by this means fired
with ideal conceptions of urban superb
ority so will it soon be noticed. by a
law of compensation which in the long.
run never fails, that the starved and
anaemic child of the fiat, tenement or
gutter will come to entertain similar
longings for the freer life and purer
atmosphere of the farm.
The swinging of the pendulum in
one direction insures am equal move
ment in due season, toward the opoo-
site side When the cities get so full
of foolish farmers boys that II will be
more profitable, more comfortable and
more respectable for them TO turn
backward toward the old homestead,
they will go back. In other words, this
problem of the distribution of roaula-
tion will regulate itself, ana ii will
never become necessary to im9ort an
agricultural class to be bound down to
the soil by chains of illteracy. Fur
thermore and finally, it isn't possible
in republic to build an enduring So
cial structure on foundations Of isnor-
ance

SUCCESSFUL PLACER MACHINE.
Butte Men Build One which Saves % Per
Cent of the Values.

Thompson and Cusick of Butte have
received a drawing from Washington
of their gold saving machine, says the
Butte Miner This machine is now in
operation below American Falls, Ida
no. and is saving 95 per cent of the
values in the rich sands of the Snake
River The operations of the machine
was witnessed by scores of old-time
Snake River placer miners who were
enthusiastic over the success of the
machine. 1t is the intention of the
inventors to construct the machine out
of steel in order to run jet of steam
through the body of quicksilver con-
tanned in the tank in order to give 1t
greater grasping power when chilled
water is used in washing the sands.
To that end the machine can be oper-
ated during the winter months.
The ground is handled by this ma
chine in the following manner: The
earth and gravel is washed into the
suice as is the case In all placer work.
ings After entering the slulce in this
machine the matter runs over the per-
forated grizzly with holes punched one
half inch apart which continues for the
entire length of the sluice. These holes
are counter scanned on the under side
to allow all particles to pass through
three holes 1-6 of an inch. This grizz-
ly carries off all the course material
and allows only the inner particles to
go through. All material passing
through this grizzly falls on yet an
other grizzly plate with holes
) 32-100 inch wide which carries
away the smaller gravel to the
end of the sluce, the same as
the one above. The material passing
through this second grizzly consists of
