rlaved the sign Watches Regulated

enquire for a man whose acknowledged

Advice Given and stops there. Medi-
cal advice can be given only by ply
sician. An accredited physician will put
his title with his name. Suppose a sign
reads. Medical Advice Given by a

stantly say, "The fact OF being a man
doesn't qualify him to give medical ad-
vice. He must be a physician to do
that" But suppose the sign reads !:

The body of Col Robert g. Ingersol
was cremated This was in accordance
with his own ideas of the proper dispo
sition of the dead. Ingersoll used t.
tell story with good effect about ;
small boy and a ground hog. A minis
ter riding along country road. on
horseback, saw "A boy in fence corne1
with big club in his hand pounding ,
dead ground hog with great energy.

said the boy, as he whaclced away. al

By the same process Of reasoning
those who predicted particularly
warm reception for lngersoll when h

they were right And 1t might ais,
seem to render more appropriate tn

Wanted TO See Tint Foot

On the principle that to some persons
even old stories are new, this one, OF
the royal princelings Of England, Is
given in Mr.. g. w E. Russell's recent
book, Collections and Recollections
Al English gentleman who had de-
formed foot was going to visit the
queen at Osborne, and before his arrival
the queen and Prince Albert debated
whether it would be well to warn the
Prince Of Wales and the princess royal
of his physical popularity, so as tc
avoid their making embarrassing re-
marks, or to leave it to their own good
feeling.
The latter course was adopted. Lord
- duly arrived. The foot elected nc
remark from the royal children, and the
visit passed off with success. Next day
the princess royal asked the queen:
"Where Is Lord -"
"He has gone back to London, dear.
"Oh, what pity He had promised
to show BERTHE and me his foot"
They had caught him in quiet spot
and made their own terms with the
captive.

His Half Way Scheme.

Not long ago a Pittsburg life insur-
ance agent persuaded Chinaman to

had no clear idea OF the transaction,
but understood that on paying the
premiums promptly he would be enti-
tied to $4,000 some time. He began
bothering the agent for the money after

agent tried to explain to him that be

tried to attend to him without calling
in doctor. When they did call one in

THE SAGE BRUSH.

Eleanor n. Howell in september Nevada Magazine.
The purple heather blossoms bright on Scotlands bonny hills,
The cowslip and the primrose fair by England's murmuring HHs.
When the trees of stern New England show the hrstfa faint tint o green,
Cose-hidden near their gnared roots the Mayhower sweet Is seen.
In the South the grand magnolia perfumes all the balmy air,
The daisy in the dewy grass gems Northern meadows fair.
But in r widespread Western land a newer iavonte reigns,
lis the sturdy, pale-green sagebrush that decks III sunny PLANS
1t needs no stately forest trees to hide tf from the blast,
No laughing brooklet mirrors it while gently gliding past;
But far from stream and forest its spreads its leaves OF green
Where miles and miles, Ger rock and sand, NJ other plant is seen.
Then, again, it softly fringes the fields OF growing corn,
Or sheds a faint, sweet fragrance thro' the golden Summer morn;
And in lowly Western graveyardst its lonely watch it keeps,
Where far from home and kindred the weaned settler sleeps.
Around its feet in springime are the brght-hued cactus flowers,
The Yucca-desert liy-then high above it towers.
The ground bird builds her nest meath its branches low and wide.
In its shade from stealthy coyotes the tmid rabbits hide;
But when in bright, fierce sunshine all other verdure dies.
1t laughs at draught and sandstone meath glowing Western skies.
And when the wind of Autumn over plain and prairie sweeps,
The pae-green tint Of summer time the sagebrush brayely keeps.
1t has all seasons for its own. On the far-oi Western plains
The wild herd feed upon it when nothing else remains;
For when in depths OF Winter the world lies sere and dead,
In defiance to the tempest the sagebrush lifts its head.
Tho it has no gorgeous colonng to catch the wand ring eye,
Tho the searcher for the beautiful might even pass it by,
Flourshing in the storm and sunshine, thro' the land we love the best.
Emblem of our sturdy people is the sagebrush of the West.

A womAN's ELOQUENT PROTEST

Olive Schreiner, Mrs. Conwrighth 3
noted writer Of South Africa, contributes
an eloquent cable letter on the Transvssl
situation to the Manchester Guardian.
She says
LET England clearly understand
what war in South Africa means. The
largest empire the world has ever seen
will hurl it's full force against o small
State, and about 10000 men, including
lads OF Is and old men Of 60. without q
standing army or organized eommisss-
rist. The entire little people will have
to resolve itself into an army with their
wives and daughters, who will prepare
the bread and meat the farmers will put
in their saddle bags when they 60 to meet
the enemy. To-day the women OF the
| Transvaal are demanding guns, that they
may take their part in the last stand.
We may crush the little people with the
aid OF Australians and Canadians, since
the British Isles seem unable to crush
them alone. We may take their land
and lower the little flag OF his independ-
ence, so dear to the Boer. bat we shall
have placed a stain upon our own that
centuries will not wash out. Only the
international Spectator, who through
persistent misrepresentation and by
means of the press has wrought this evil,
will gain and fill his already overloaded
pockets with South African gold"

Carson Appeal, Sept. 30: The State
Board Of Equalization Of taxes visited
Douglas county Thursday. They found
cattle assessed as low as $40 a head, none
over So and sheep a dollar a head, the
lowest sheep valuation in the State. The
three steamboats, Of the Lake, all assess
able in Douglas, were not on the Asses
sor's rolls at all. The Tahoe is new and
it is estimated to have cost $50. 600. The
Meteor and Emerald must have cost to-
gether $40, 600 and are not on the Asses
sor's books. The lumber Of the Tahoe
Lumber and Flume Company is assessed
ct one dollar q thousand. Il costs about
two bits TO iume it to Carson, where it
is sold at from sl2 to SIS a thousand.
Ranches which cost in hard cash about
$25, 600 fall on the tax roll at five and
six thousand and some even lower. The
Board challenged the entire tax roll OF
the county as not having been made in
accordance with law.
