The nuptials took place at the Grover

of the contracting parties were present.
Though the marriage was a quiet one
the happy couple were the recipients
of many beautiful and useful presents.
The groom grew to manhood in
Gardnerville, and is noted for his in

Trib in the High sierras.

The day we started on our trip
across the mountains, from Carson,
Nevada, while wheeling down the
grade toward Lake Tahoe, went over
high embankment, falling and badly
spraining and bruising my left knee.
When we reached Hobart, the instep OF
Mrs. Gordon's right foot was also much
weakened by the severe exertion nee
essary on the mountain road. 1t SEEM
ed as if we could go no further There
was just one bottle of the liniment,
Trib in The place. We bought it and
applied it thoroughly that night and
the next morning, and were thus en-
abled to proceed easily and without
delay. Continuing its use, in three
days we reached our destination, both
knee and instep completely cured and
free from that muscular stiffness and
soreness which too often mars an out
ing. Trib is the greatest thing on
earth where liniment is needed.

Otto Williams Admitted to the Bar.
OttoT. Williams, like other graduates
of the COURIER office, is forging his
way to the front with rapid strides.
Sixteen years ago, at the age of ten
years, he commenced setting type in
the COURIER office morning and even
ing and Saturdays, while attending
the public school in Genoa. After
wards his parents moved to Reno and
he graduated from the Reno High
School in 1892, and from the State Uni
versity in 1896. Since then he has been

A GIRL AND A PORTRAIT.
An Instance of the Influence of He

Doctors disagree as to the influence of
heredity. Some hold that great deal
hinges upon ii; others believe the con
trary. Some Of the authentic stories told
to eXcmplify this mysterious bond be-
tween ancestors and descendants are very
curious.
There was a loan collection of old por-
traits exhibited in London lately. and i.
young girl was among the visitors. She
was an orphan and wealthy, but without
near relatives and was often heard to
complain Of the loneliness of her position.
As she passed through the gallery one
particular portrait attracted her attcn-
ton, and She went back to it more than
once. Her companion saw in it nothing
but the commonplace painting Of mid
die aged man in tho costume of the latter
part of the last century.

girl rather wiStfUlly. Il imagine my ia

HUMAN FACES.
An Artist Says They're the Easiest
Things In the World to Draw.

1T is a very singular fact" said a To-
cal artist, that the human face is the
easiest thing to draw in the world. One
who had never tried would naturally sup
pose that the exact reverse would be the
case, for the reason that there is nothing
in nature so mobile and in a sense of the
word so varied. 1t is trte saying. YOU
know, that it would be impossible to find
two men on earth who look exactly alike,
and none of us need be told that there
is always mysterious something that
differentiates the faces with which we
are familiar from every other face we
ever encounter.
But for all that" the artist went on.
THE human features in the abstract can
be suggested with an ease that is aston
ishing. Scrawl wavy line with a few
irregular zigzags, made absolutely with

it remains thus balanced the chances are
decidedly against IFS Matching. Brooding
hens understand that. When filling the
nest, hen turns over all the eggs in it
before she quits it after laying a new
one.
She knows, too. that in hot weather the
sun will addle her eggs. so she chooses a
shady nest spot. But in winter a nest is
often made where the fullest sunshine
streams into it.
Brooding is throughout full Of quaint
surprises. Eggs will hatch if kept at
blood heat, 9S degrees. But they hatch
more certainly and turn out stronger
chicks if the temperature is n degree or
so higher. Just how it is done nobody
knows, but mother hens some way con
trive to raise the normal heat of their
bodies to the requisite pitch Further,
they strip the whole breast of feathers, so
the eggs may have the benefit of full
heat. Twice a day they turn over every
egg in the nest, cuddling them separately
up underneath their beaks, making little
soft half fretful chuckling noises the
while.
Hens are most uncalculating egg steal
ers. All eggs in sight will be drawn into
the nest, though the stolen eggs may
crowd out those legitimately there Still

Put Your Best Foot First.

People who habitually depreciate them
selves, who keep their best stock on the
top shelf and put their worst goods in
the windows, may expect to be taken at
their own valuation. One of the in
gradients of success in this age of COM
petition is an unwavering self confidence,
and another is a habit of making the
most of whatever talent or acquisition is
ones own and therefore an element of
advantage. This is very different from
mere conceit, from vanity and clustering.
For the carrying on of life agreeably,
for intercourse with society and for dali
ly happiness we should cultivate the ac-
complishment which puts the best foot

all away every time she fries. whereas if

ready for use in a short time and does
its work well. 1t fries crisply and dryly
