Nevada tax payers pay State tax
of 81 on each 500 valuation of their
properly. For years Democrats and
Republicans administered the affairs
of the State under Toe rate: but the
Southern Pacific party, characteristic
of the Southern Pacific company, has
caused an advance in rates all along
the liue. There have been too many
pets to provide for-at the expense of
the people-hence the raise of 25 per
cent Wells Herald.

The papers report that at Milford,
ILL.,, the pupils of a district school got
to coming later every morning, to the
worriment of the pretty schoolma' am.
One morning she announced that
thence forth she would kiss the first
pupil to arrive every morning. Then
the big boys began to flock up about
the schoolhouse at daylight. Recently
they have gone to the extreme of
roosting on the fence all night. The
schoolma'am has the sympathies of
the entire community.

No Fear When Death Draws Nigh

II have seen thousands of persons
die under all sorts of circumstance.
and never yet have | seen one display
the slightest fear of death" This re-
markable statement was made the
other day by physician WHO has
practiced many years in Philadelphia
and who has seen a great deal of hos
pital service.
ut is a popular fallacy," he went
on, ITO imagine that death bed scene
is ever terrible other than as a parting
between loved ones. The fear of the
unknown is never present at the last
moment. Even among ignorance and
vice | have never experienced such
scenes as a novelist who strives after
realism will sometimes picture.
when patient is told he cannot
recover and that the end is near, he
invariably seems resigned to his fate
and his only thought seems to be of
those who are to be left behind. This
is true alike of men and women.
'Those who become hysterical and
declare that they are not fit to die are
the ones who are not as i'll as they
think they are. They always get well.

The high priced land of the eastern
states is constantly declining in value,
while the new lands of the west are
constantly appreciating in value. This
result, while making bad work at the
east, is of corresponding benefit to the
west. Land values of the future are
largely going to be governed by the
fertility of the land regardless of To-
cation.

The Laboring Mans Meat.

The Belgian hare excels as a meat
producer for the home table The Bel
gan hare is so easily raised that all
the farmers and laboring men ought
to raise them to supply their own table
with fresh meat and also give more of
variety to the living. Get a pair
and fix up pen 5x10 feet and
nuke some shelter to keep off the hot
sun in summer and snow and rain in
winter, and then get some dry goods
boxes and fix them up to keep the
young ones in until they get large
enough to eat, and look after them
and see that they get plenty to eat aad
drink and you will be surprised to see
how much delicious meat you will have
to eat through the year. The farmers
should eat more hare meat and less
salt side than they do and they would
find that they would be healthier and
they could live cheaper, too. When
you go to buy stock, don't be afraid to
give So to 81 for pair of good healthy
animals, as you will find that they will
be cheap according to the amount of
meat they will produce if well cared
fof.
Some people think S. is an awful
price to pay for pair of Belgian hares
yet they will pay $3.50 to 50 90 for a
young pig and keep it all summer and
fall and then have about $40 worth of
meat when they kill it, while good
pair of hares will produce at 10c per
pound between $15 and $50 worth of
much more wholesome meat in the
same time and they still have the orig
inal pair of hares = Exchange.

his attention He stood on the bank
OF the stream. intently listening and
peering into the gloom. The attitude Of
Napoleon made q deep impression on
the soldier Dovar. Tearing leaf from
q notebook he made hasty sketch of
the warrior standing on the bank of
the stream. During the battle the
Russians charged the camp In the Vi
entity of Doyar's tent. Two bullet holes
were put through the drawing hanging
on the tent wall. clipping of the ear
and msrring the outlines OF the nose.
