Moral-There are people who lose
the real comforts Of life in an effort to
throw on style and attract the attention
Of the public.
On a Fourth Of July occasion the
committee on entertainment fixed up a
smooth pole which they had smeared
literally with soap. On the top OF the
pole was a 81 bill which was offered to
the boy who would get it down. Sew.
eral lads tried for the prize, but DOT
one could get more than half way up
the pole. At last all gave j. up but
four boys. Each OF them tried the pole
a few rounds, but the 81 bill still re.
posed on the top. Finally n Of the
boys had an idea and proceeded to or.
ganize a trust. He said to the other
three: "Help boost me to the top Of
that post and I will divide the swag."
The condition was that the boy who
could get TO the top was to have that
money. Then the boys formed a CO.
operative association; M boy climbed
onto the shoulders Of another, the
third climbed up on his shoulders and
the fourth finally mounted on the
shoulders of the third, and from his
point Of vantage secured the cash. As
the boys afterward divided the money
they UNANIMOUSLY decided that in some
cases combination was a rafting good
thing.
The attention of a party of ladies was
attracted to a handsome dog that was
passing by. They expressed fl ,ttering
opinions of the canine and called him
over to where they were and com.
menced to shower caresses upon him.
The dog concluded that he was strictly
in it for a few minutes, but just then
one of the numerous fleas who were
boarding with him took a nip at his
flank and the dog made a quick bite at
the flea. Before he could get action on
that in sect another flea took a nip on
another part of his frame, and then an.
other followed suit, 50 that for a min.
ute the dog was doggoned busy. When
he had finally temporarily routed the

The football game in Reno last Sat

South goal. At 2:15 Otto Hussman
kicked to Reno's 20yd line. Reno

Reno's right tackle the ball was adj
vaneed to the l5yd. line, where it was
lost on tumble. Reno carried the
ball back to the center of the field,
where Gardnerville held aud Reno was
forced TO punt. l.. Eel ran the punt
back 25yds. During the remainder OF
the half the fighting was mostly in
Reno's territory, and the call Of time
found the ball in Gardnerville's pos
session, just where 1t was at the begin
ing of the first scrimmage. In this half
Reno lost three of her men through in
jury, one of them being Capt. Knox,
whose shoulder was disloeated
SECOND HALF.
Reno kicked off to Gardnerville's
yd. line. Otto Hussman ran the ball
back l0yds. Gardneryille failed to
make the required distance in two
downs and was forced to punt. The
Reno man VINO caught the ball was
downed in his tracks. BY a number
of spd runs the ball WAS carried to
Gardnerville's 5yd. liAe, where Gard

point, with only ID seconds of time
left, Capt James Ezell, in order to de-
lay the play, objected continuing
while the crowd was on the field.
Referee Luke placed his foot on the
ball and greatly to Reno's disgust, the
game was stopped until the crowd
stepped back. In the next play Kline
of Reno ran the ball 2oyds. into Gard
neryille's territory and was only down.
ed one foot from the line. Before play
could he resumed time was called and
enc of the most exciting games ever
played on the L. of n. gridiron was
over.
After the game the team was tended
banquet and dance by Mrs. Sparks,
for whose kindness the team will long
remember. While there they en-
joyed themselves dancing and feasting
with number of Reno's fairest daught-
ers. All voted it to be the most enjoy
able trip of their lives and are already
longing for re-oecurance of the
same.

VIII Hang AT Carson.

A. Buralli, if the sentence of death
is carried out, will be executed at the
Nevada State Prison. The law now
provides that the day of the execution
of a prisoner must not be less than
sixty days nor more than ninety days
from the date when the death sentence
is pronounced, and it further provides
that within seven days after being
convicted Of murder in the first degree,
the murderer must be delivered to the
Warden Of the State Prison. The
Warden must invite the presence of Il
physician, the Attorney General of the
State, and twelve reputable citizens
and clergyman TO be present at the
execution. The old law gave the
Sheriff of each county the work of
hanging convicted murderers, but,
owing to the escape from Jail of several
murderers in this State, the law was
changed The law now provides that
all executions shall take place in the
State Prison yard. II is probable that
Burall will lie the first man executed
at the prison, if the Board of Pardons
does not commute the death sentence

Dead men lying all around.

That's the end of Biddles.

To insignifcar ce they fade.
