NOT AFRAID OF RATS.
At Least Gnc Lady Was Calm While
Others Screamed.

An incident occurred in Falkland re-
Gently that discounts the story Of the
tcndcrfoot who sat quietly in IA saloon
while two cowboys cmpticd their re-
volvcrs at each other. 1t had been de-
cided TO scare the tenderfoot by having
a sham shooting scrape take Place in
his presence, but lie had been posted
by frierd as to what was TO lie done,
and when the real thing took place he
sat with his feet upon card table
calmly smoking a cigar while the bull
let's few all around him. The story of
his bravery spread rapidly, and he was
after that 4 hero in the eyes Ct the west

to live. The Falkland episode has in
about the same manner made heroine

The boy had developed remarkable tai

came the proud mother made it point

taking Lessons in clocution, ana to tell
of the rapid progress he was ms king.
Finally one OF the ladies expressed Il de-

INSECT NURSES.
bees and Ants That Look After the
Sick.

The care of the young is always con-
sldered one of the most important of
the industries of the commune. Among
the bees and ants the care of the young
is relegated to the younger sisters, al
though the elders do not scorn these
duties if they find their performance
necessary. However, the first work of
the ant or bee just emerged from the
pupa state is that of nurse, and a most
tender and devoted one she is. Espe-
cially are the ant nurses solicitous
about the health and comfort of their
small charges. In some species the
young ant grubs are assorted into sizes,
those of the same age being kept in the
same apartment, suggesting graded
school. When the ant babies are hun
cry they stretch up like young birds,
and their nurses regurgitate partly di-
gested food into the gaping, hungry
mouths. The nurses keep them very
clean by licking them with their long
tongues, and, what is more interesting,
are very careful to keep them in the
right temperature. When the sun

the nurses carry their charges to the
lower compartments, but toward night
they carry them again to the upper
nurseries. The nurses show great in
terest in the young when they emerge
from the pupa state, helping them to
straighten out their newly freed an
tennae and legs, then taking hand at
their education by leading them around
the city and showing them the ways of
the formic world.
All the members of the insect COM
mune are shining lights in their devo-
ton to the young. The moment an ant
nest is attacked those citizens who are
not detailed to fight the intruders will
snatch up the babies and flee with
them to places of safety. or when hard
pressed will fight to the death for their
protection. This is worthy of note,
since it is not the mother instinct for
saving her young but is race instinct
instead. 1t may here be stated that

SILVER PEAK.

ED. BULLETIN: returned from n
months vacation in Fish Lake valley
few days ago and to-day visited the
Mary Tunnel mine for the first Time
IN months. | think this is the best
gold mine in the State of Nevada to-
day. For more then year develon-
ment work has been going on and
the result is this: A drift has been
run on the tunnel level to the RIGHT
for 100 feet, on a ledge about five
feet wide. A raise on the ledge is up
about 100 feet, aud shows a LEDGE all
the way from 6 to II feet. At this
point drift each way from the up-
raise, about 200 feet, exposes a ledge
the entire distance which will aver
age 6 feet in width. There are con-
nections made with the lower drift
and Slope 100 feet in hight on the
ledge and 200 feet long is opened for
extraction. They are still raising
and extending the drifts on the up
per level, extracting from s to 10
tons of ore per day while so doing
The ore will average about $40 per
ton and is easily worked. The mill
has crushed about 1000 tons of ore
during the progress of this work
There are l6 men at work now aud
there Is room for more in the Slopes.
The mill will start about the 1st of
June, and there is certainty that it
will not stop for want of ore for a
year to come. This has been the
hardest mine to open | ever saw.
Every inch of ground has been
burnt out with giant powder. The
quartz is like flint and breaks badly.
The walls are like cast iron and the
work done shows there are some hard
rock miners here hard to beat
| look for revival of interest on
the part OF capitalists in this section
now, for this work has proved more
than all the expert reports ever made.
Any one can see in those workings
that the lodges are large here and
rich 400 feet below the groupings.
There is no reason why the adjoining
mines, which have yielded fine ore
for years, are not as good.
Sam WATSON has four men running
the lower tunnel in the Drinkwater
to cap that ledge. The company has
concluded to try and show something
worth half million, before they ex-
pect to get that much money for their
property. They ought to put on s.
hour shifts and push things if they
desire to make a showing this cen
fury. Holding undeveloped mines,
waiting for some fool to come along
and buy them is an Improbable GUS

KISSING Is APPROVED.
Judge Also Rules That Girls Have a
Right to Sit in Mems Laps.

New York. Nov. 5.-Miss Fay's inal-
Ienable right to kiss whom she pleases
was established today by Magistrate
Crane Miss Fay lost the regard of a
young man for a time through the ma
chinations of Miss Nellie Smith.
The girls were friends, at least until
Parke Craig, tall of form and blonde OF
hair, appeared upon their horizon. But
relations changed when Mr.. Craig, who
had been devOting himself to Miss Fay,
suddenly transferred his allegiance.
When Miss Fay met him in the street
one day and asked him if he were an
CRY he was eVaSiVe. He finally ac-
knowledged that Miss Smith had said
something which he declined to tell,
and that it had caused him to change
his opinion of Miss Fay.
Miss Fay was indignant. She has
tened to the Harlem police court and
obtained summons for Miss Smith,
accusing her of SANDER. Both appeared
in court this morning with their moth
ers. Mr.. Craig was there, very i'll at
ease. Magistrate Crane, after hear
ing the case, assumed an air of terrible
Now, then, Miss Smith, tell me at
once what it was that you said to Mr..
Craig concerning Miss Fay" he said.
Miss Smith hesitated and a wave Of
color swept over her face. She is re-
bly, pretty girl So is Miss Fay,
well Miss Smith," said the magis-
trate, gravely, as the young woman be-
gan to speak in a stage whisper, you
must speak louder"
Miss Smith threw back her head and
her voice rang through the court.
ct told Mr.. Craig" she said def1antIy,
that saw Miss Fay kiss another man.
I did so. There, now"
"HOW dare your exclaimed Miss Fay
what if she did kiss another MANI"
interposed the magistrate. 1.-The stat
utes fail to define that as a misdemean-
or. Miss Fay has right to kiss who
ever she wishes. Craig, you ought to
be ashamed of yourself-a big man like
you going around talking. Didn't Miss
Fay ever. kiss you?"
Sometimes"

some other man a show. You have no
right to arrogate to yourself all the
kisses which Miss Fay has at her dis
posal. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, you should consider yourself
lucky to get any kisses at ALL
Magistrate Crane regarded the young
woman closely and judiciously, and she
blushed to the roots of her hair.
Judge" said Miss Fay, with a wo-
mans Quickness in following up an ad-
vantage, It saw a young man sit on
Miss Smiths lap, and she can't deny it"
Miss Smith took refuge behind that
bulwark of feminine logic, the argu-
mentum ad hominem.
Il saw Mr.. Craig" snapped Miss
Smith. 'and he was sitting on Miss
Fay's lap"
THAT was very immodest," remarked
Mamma Smith.
Tut tut remarked the magistrate,
and. turning to the mothers of the
young women, he said: "Take these
them to bed without any supper"
Amid Dlaudits for the decision, the
parties to the case left the court. Miss
Fay held her head high.
