DEPEW AND THE ELEPHANT.
His Resemblance to FOrepauGh Led to
u LudicrOus Situation.

c. A. Davis, advance agent for the Fore

next Saturday, tells a story of the resem-
blance between Chauncey M. Depew, the
distinguished New York railroad president
and statesman, and the late Adam Fore
paugh, the circus king. which was wonder
fully striking. This similarity in personal
appearance led to number Of very ludic-
rouS mistakes.

was in winter quarters in Philadelphia, one

elephant was left in the car and the agent
went down town to the Continental Hotel
where he had made an appointment to meet
Mr.. Forepaugh, whom he knew ana had
frequently met.
Mr. Depew happened to be at the hotel at
the time. He had been invited over TO Phli-
adelphia to a dinner given by the famous
Glover Club, and when the opera company

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and thiE tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hunered Dollars for any
case of deafness caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure, Send for
circulars, free.

Bautify Your Homes

Spring is here. Now let the people
go to work ami improve their property.

shrubbery and Ornamental trees, plant
your front yards to lawns. This is a life
OF pleasure and not one for mere gain.
The money We accumulate here will 10

be only bone OF contention to our
children. But home that is improved
and beautitied, evidences in the owner a
pure, beautiful mind. The home is a
true and absolute index 10 character
See small, dilapidated home, yard
filled with weeds and rank growth of
snntlowers, and you can put it down in
your mind that shiftless or greedy fel-
low lives there. See home beautiful,
and garden planted with flowers and
shrubbery and you will put it down in
your mind that an Industrious person
lives there, good neighbor, an emerge
tic citizen, and a person animated by
pure and lofty motives. Take care OF
your home: you are going to live there
all your lie; add to Its beauty by plant
ing tree here, flower there, and in
years to come you will possess place
that you can look upon with pride and
show to friends with feeling of satis-
faction. You say it will cost something.
Only little work, perhaps few dollars
in money, but it will increase the value
OF your property fifty per cent, and
more. Ii is one of the best investments
you can make with your spare moments

From present indications there " i'll be
a scarcity OF water for irrigation ir-
poses in Nevada the coming season. This
may be the means OF awakening an in
terest in building storage reservoirs in
this State. 1t is not possible for the
State to build storage reservoirs in all
parts of the State at once, but it is pos
sible that they can be built. OF course,
every farmer cannot have one in his
back yard, but by regulating seltishness
to the rear and working for common
good much can be accomplished. Let
the Legislature at its next session appro-
pirate sum sufficient to build storage
reservoir in one section of the State and
at the following session make similar
appropriation for another section. This
method will be slow, but it will un-
doubtedly be getting along much faster
than we are at present and the taxes
from the lands thus reclaimed will
make the burden lighter each year, says
an exchange. We hope Congressman
Newlands will get his bill through and it
will give us starter.

True In Word.

Galen was about four years old and
as lively and full of mischief as any
boy you can think Of In the summer
time he used to wear the funniest little
pair of brownie oYeralls. When he had
these on he could play as hard as he
liked without once having TO think
about spelling his clothes.
His hat was always torn. because he
used it for so many different things
that it couldn't help but wear out.
His shoes lasted a much longer time
Can you guess the reason? He kept
them on the closet shelf every day ex-
cept Sunday. and trotted gayly about
in his bare feet.
One thing he liked to do was to run
away whenever he got a chance. and
this kept his sister, Maud busy finding
the little truant and bringing him back.
Sometimes he wouldn't come with her;
then his big brother, Irving, would go
to the rescue. Galen knew he had to
mind then, because Irving was large
enough to pick him right up and carry
him home II he refused to walk.
By and by school began, and Maud
and Irving were no longer at home to
watch their little brother, so their faith
er tried a different plan. He called
Galen into his office one morning and
pointed to a small rawhide which hung
on the wall.
DO you see that. Galen?" he asked
"Tourse l do said the little fellow,
I'm lookin' right at it.
We'll, do you know what it's for?
It's to whip you with if you run away
again. Can you remember that?"
IT'S to WHIP me wiz il run away"
repeated Galen, seriously.
All went well for several days. Then
his grandfather gave him penny for
reciting Twas the Night Before
Christmas" all through without mis-
take.
I'm goin' to buy a stick of candy"
he said TO himself as he hurried off
down town.
Just as he got back he met his faith
ar.
What are you up to, Galen?" he
asked. Making mud pies in the road
as usual?"
Galen hesitated. Awful visions of
the rawhide flashed through his mind,
but he held up his candy bravely.
Il just went down to the tore a min
ute" he said, Just one little minute"
DO you remember what happens to
boys who run away?" said his father.
Their faver w'ips 'em wiz a raw
hide" said Galen, with tears In his
eyes.
Galen bore his whipping like a man.
then his father took him on his lap.
DO you know what happens to boys
who tell the truth. even when they
know they'll get whipping?" he ask
ed. We'll, I'll tell you. Their father
takes them for long ride with him
and lets them drive the horses. Now.
run and get ready"
Il can always believe what nv chill
dren tell me" said Galen's father after
that; they always speak the truth"
