1t cares not for heroes who faitered. for
martyrs who husbed and recanted
For pictures that never were painted, for

The world does not care for a fragrance
that never Is lost in pertaining;
The world does not care for the blossoms
that Wither away before blooming;
The world does not care for the chimes re-

The world does not care for the songs I'M

that have ended IN Idle conclusions,
Are buried along with the failures that

Away with the f1imsv idea that life with

There's Now-only Now, and no Past
there's never past; it has ended
Away with the obsolete story. and all OF
its yesterday sorrow;
There's only today, almost gone, and IN
front of today stands tomorrow
And hopes that are quenehless are sent as
like loans from a generous lender.

A man with a marvellous mug
Rode out of Fort Scott on nag
He carried a Jug ia bag.
And many and many swig
Reposed in that corpulent jug:
And a cob fitted in for plug
As snug as a Snag IN bog
The nag had q wigglety. jig
Which churned up the jag in the jug;
And along by its side went a dog
Which jiggled along in a jog.
With thu, q narrative shaggy and sag.

The man shouted whoa the nag,
Then took out the jug from the bag,
Then took out the plug from the jug,
And then from the jug took a jag
Which acted as quick as drug.
He shouted .'Yip-yip' to the nag,
And dug in his heels with a dig.
And the nag who would never renig
Sprang off with the speed Of a stag

And there in the road lay hog

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
CattIemen and Sheepmen are Having
Trouble In Elko County.

A very interesting trial has been
going on in Elko for several days. 1t
was a case growing out Of a damage
suit brought against sheepmen by cat
tlemen. There were seven suits
dumped into the judicial basket and
tried as one.
1t was claimed that the law of New
ada was unconstitutional, because it
was class legislation, and the law was
not uniform, in as much as it selected
sheepmen from all other stockmen and
required them TO pay attorneys fees in
case OF litigation and loss of suit by
them, while should they the sheep
men) win in such suit they could not
recover attorneys fees.
The sheepmen also claimed that
they had implied license to Craze on
public lands, and that the law gave
them the right to such lands by neces-
sity. The court held that while they
had a right to Craze on public lands.
they had no right to pass through pri-
vate lands to reach the public domain.
The court also held the law uncon-
s~titutional as to attorneys fe~s. be
cause it vas general in its classification
in as much as it prohibited all persons
from grazing any live stock upon the
land Of another.
AS q matter Of practical application
Of the law it is only sheep men that
can be reached by reason Of a band of
sheep having to be herded, while cattle
run at large and go where they may,

Celestial Bodies That Astronomers Are
Not Gil l.atiy Pleased to Find.
In the space between Mars and
Jupiter there are hundreds of little
planets called asteroids which have
neen discovered during the last cen
tury by astronomers all over the
world. Some of them are hardly
bigger than q big western farm, ard
very lew are large enough to be seen
without the aid of a powerful tele-
scope. Nowadays they are noted
chiefly by photography and are in
teresting to professional astrono-
mers only for heir eccentricities.
1t has been found, for example,
by computation made at the Har-
yard observatory that one of them
approaches nearer to the sun than
any other known planet and at the
same time describes greater ellipse
around that body. This special as
teroid was originally discovered on
one of the Photographic plates tax

from which the entire sky south of
the equator and extending to the
antarctic pole is photographed as a
matter of routine once every month.
Astronomers do not take any spe-
cial delight in finding asteroids,
which, in fact, cause moro trouble
than they are worth, since, once dis
covered, they have to be first cata-
logued and then constantly watched
in order to keep them in their prop

bodies in the more essential bust.
