MISREPRESENTATION Wednesday
evening, December %, 1897, at the
girlhood home of the bride, at High
land, occurred the marriage of Miss
Mabel Miller, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. A. Miller, to Mr.. Daniel
Spiker. At the hour of o'clock
the fifty invited guests of relatives
and near friends assembled in the
lighted parlor awaiting the bridal
party who advanced slowly to the
strains of the wedding march render
ed by Miss Steninentz. of Lincoln
Center. The happy pair stood UNDER
meath an arch of evergreen boughs,
besprinkled with white boughs. The
bride was gowned in a charming rose
hued satin with creamy lace and rib
bons. She looked very pretty as she
stood beside her chosen life compan-
ion who, of course, wore the regula-
ton black dress suit. Miss Lily
Gochnour, the BRIDES dearest friend,
was bridesmaid and Laurence CALI
ger acted as best man. The Highland
pastor, Rev. Bolinger, pronounced
the words which Joined them in the
legal bonds of wedlock, and then con-

Young Mozart.

In Wilder's "Life of Mozart" is an
interesting letter written by Mozart
to his father, Dec. Is, 1881, at the
age of 26. The young musician was
resolved to marry and gave his rea-
sons. He wrote:
Mature speaks in me as loudly as
in any one else and perhaps even
more strongly than in a stupid and
heavy rustic. Nevertheless it is i'm
possible for me to follow the exam
pie of the young men of my own
age. On the one hand, my mind is
too sincerely religious, l have too
much honesty, too much love for my
neighbor, to make up my mind to
deceive any innocent woman. On
the other hand, value my health
far too much to risk it by consorting
with the vicious So can swear be-
fore God that thus far have not a
single moral lapse with which to re-
proach myself"
Considering that Mozart was liv-
ing surrounded by very dissipated
society and the lax morals of the
theater, this declaration does him
the more honor.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suffer
ss much from distressing kidney and
bladder trouble as men. The womb is
situated back and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any dis
tress, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort.
Tho error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bludder need doctoring. If you
have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or scanty
supply, with smarting or burning.
these are also convincing proofs Of kid
ney trouble. Ifyou have doctored with
out benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy. The
mild and extraordinary effect will sur.
prise you. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures. If you take a medi-
cine you should take the best. At
druggists fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and a
pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Men

Tho Doggerel of "shall" and .'will."
In the north of England Twill is
frequently used for "shall." Per-
haps it may be worth while to quote
the doggerel lines which tell us the
distinctive uses of the two words:
In the first person simply "shall" foretells.
In twill" o threat or else promise dwells.
"Shall" In the second and the third does
threat.
"Will" simply then foretells a future feat.

THEIR POINT OF VIEW.
A Self Satisfied Man Overhears a Little
Conversation About Himself.

A Self Satisfied Man Overhears Little
Conversation About Himself.
Once upon a time a man was walk
ing through farmyard, and as his
eyes fell upon the different animals
therein he began to reflect upon his
superiority to any and all of them.
His own state compared with that of
these members of the SO called lower
creation made him regard them with
supercilious contempt and to expert
ence more than ever he had done
before his own greatness.
While in this enviable frame of
mind and strutting about with I'M
wonted uprightness he suddenly
heard the sound of voices. Listening
attentively, he became aware that
the animals were talking, and he
appeared to be the subject Of their
conversation.
1t must be awfully tedious, ''said
the dog, "to be obliged always to
walk upon ones hind legs, and how
awkward this man looks! / have to
walk on my hind legs occasionally
out of mere complacency to my mas
ter, but I am always ashamed of
myself for assuming SO undigniied
a position, and then think how
much of his time this unfortunate
man has to spend in dressing and
undressing, and how he is forever
fretting himself about something or
other! Talk of a dogs life Who
would change it for the life of a
manf'
Said the hog: "It has often made
me laugh to see what lot of dishes
a man has to have when he eats his
dinner and what a fuss he makes
when everything isn't just so. Real
ly, it is perfectly ridiculousl For
my part, I don't see why victuals
that are going to be mixed together
after they are swallowed should
have to be kept apart before they
are eaten. I like to have everything
in one dish, and I know l couldn't
enjoy meal otherwise.
Said the ass: Did you ever notice
what absurd little ears man has2
To my mind, they are quite defor-
nifty. And then when man or a
woman undertakes to sing 1t is
positively exasperating-so differ
ent, you know, from a fine, mellow,
ear inspiring bray"
"And then," said the horse, "the
idea of having to take ones shoes
off upon going to bed and putting
them on upon getting up! 1t would
worry me to death, I'm sure"
The hen thought it must be very
annoying to have to pick up ones
food with ones hands and carry it
to the mouth, when it was SO much
easier to take it in the mouth direct
ly. Hands and arms, she went on
to say, were only rudimentary
wings, fact which showed that
man was an undeveloped animal.
The COW tossed up her head as she
remarked how dependent man was
upon her. The sheep said-it amused
him to see how the poor creature
tried to make sheep Of himself by
masquerading in sheepish apparel,
and the cat referred to the ridicu-
lous appearance Of person without
a tail.
After listening to these remarks
and to what the other animals had
to say the mans step became less
buoyant, and as he hung down his
head in humility he murmured:
after all, everything depends
upon the point of view."- Boston

Nevada Teachers for Nevada.

The application OF Miss Myrtle Gray
son, Of Kennedy, as principal OF the
public school OF Lovelock, and Miss
Lane, of Reno, as assistant for the eusu-
ing year, have been accepted by a unani-
nous vote OF the Board OF Trustees at
Lovelock
Miss Grayson and Miss Lane are both
graduates of the State University, and
both We're born and raised in Nevada
and are quite capable of filing their
positions with credit to themselves and
satisfaction to the Lovelock people.
The spirit which prompted the trus-
tees of the Lovelock public school to hire
Nevada teachers for Nevada schools can
not be too highly commended and should
be an example for trustees in other dis
tricts throughout the State, for if Nevada
trustees become imbued with the idea
that only teachers from other States are
the only ones proficient enough to teach
Nevada children, we say it is time to
close our high schools and State Uni
versity. State.

Our Washington correspondent says
Mai. W. D. Smith, an American who is
an officer under General Gomez, in Cuba
has been giving the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations the benefit of his
personal experience. The Committee
heard Maj. Smith in secret session and
his testimony will not be printed. A
hit of what he said may be found in the
following remarks made by him outside
the committee room: "All talk about
autonomy and of Spanish reforms for
Cuba is so much breath wasted. Not a
man in the Cuban army will agree to
accept anything short of absolute inde-
pendendence. The Cuban army is now
in better condition to resist the Span
iards and to maintain the fight for inde-
pendence than it has been since the be-
ginning of the war. Gen. Gomez has a
well-disciplined army OF about 10000
men, who are determined to hold out
until their efforts are crowned with vic
tory. Our soldiers are rapidly procur-
ing arms and every day serves to put
them Oh better footing"
