No Miracle for the Rich.

At first it seemed, in the eyes of
science, as if the little earl of Arundel
might suddenly receive the motive
power that his system and his senses
lacked; and these hopes gave added
fervor to the faith with which his
parents took him to the shrine at
Lourdes On one such occasion a
strangely affecting scene occurred. AS
the duchess of Norfolk, accom-
panied by the duke and others, car
ried her child to the shrine, she met,
coming thence. a group of peasants,
whose voices were raised in thanks
giving. They sang the Magnificent -
and precisely as they passed the Ouch.

verse: "The poor hath He filled with
good things, but the rich He hath sent

hear that?" she cried. I'VE are the

Carson is taking on the improve

all lends to the appearance OF the city
in general OF course the Arlington
block leads the procession, as the i'm
provements contemplated will make
the property about the best in the
State.
At the depot the Consolidated Esme-
ralda Company, in combustion with
the Tonopah Water Company, have
built an Office that does credit to the |
people that are back of the two
big concerns The depot is being re-
paired, and new planking is being
laid. A number of carloads of quartz
are to be hauled to that section which
will make fine walk.
Further down the line the Eagle
Market is putting on airs. and Mr..
Epson declares that when finished. his
shop will not only be stocked with the
best in the market, but the shop will
be as fine as any in the State, and
from the way he is going after it, it
seems likely.
Walter Chedic is also on the i'm
| prove, and his shop is now the neat
est in this city. Painters, paper hang
ers, carpenters are busy remodeling
the place. and already it shows what
can be done when citizen believes
in the future of his town.

a house in the southern addition. and
will move it to her residence property.
A modern cottage is to be erected,
which is to be for rent.
Marshal Emmitt, who lately bought
the Will u Mackey house, is beginning
to make improvements, and intends

Another and. decided Improvement
is at the Bliss house which has been
purchased by Ed. Yerington. He is
repairing what little there is to do to
the place. and will have electric lights
placed in the handsome home.
1t is understood that the owners oil

Everybody out on the coast of any
at all knew and liked the
Fair boys, as they were always called
when the period of their escapades
was at it's height, said a Californian
now in Washington, speaking of the |
tragic death of Charley Fair and his |
wife in the automobile accident In
F'rnce Jim Fair, who shot. himself in |
a room at the Palace Hotel a few
years ago,was really the wilder lad
of the two, but he tried to keep more
under cover in his roystring. They
were both thoroughly and likely chaps
with nothing of the Willie boy in their
makeup, and they simultaneously
started out to but up against the swift
game at an early age. 1t was from no
spirit of inherent or acquired vicious
ness, but from an excess of health and
exuberant-and money. Both of them
were given the handling of too much
money from their earliest yoth, and
if there is any town in the world, not
even excepting Paris, where a tempet
uous youth with slathers of the yellow
can get action and plenty of it on his
coin, that town is San Francisco.
1T would take pretty thick volume
to recount the escapades throughout
California of the Fair boys. Charley
was always bit sheepish over his sal
ad days after he married his wife
who was a woman of fine heart and
character, despite few early uncon-
ventiOnalfties, as woman of the
stage-and he kept away from the old
crowd that had done so much to make
the Fair boys notorious, and had &C
tually driven Jim to his death. It was
not until some years after their MARI
age that Charley Fairs wife got him t.
take the gold cure as last and almos
helpless method of breaking him from
his drinking habits. He never dranl
a drop of any kind of intoxicating bev
erage from the time he took the treat
ment. He was what they call goot
cure-one of the kind that doesn't re
lapse.
THE most out and out piece of de
risive deviltry in which Charley Fai
and his brother Jim ever took par
happened when both of them wer
pretty young fellows. They chartere
about forty stage coaches, stocked 'er
up to the gunl's with good things t
eat and drink. then invited abou
three hundred of the most uncover
tional and blithe spirits of both sexe
in San Francisco to take little rid
with them. On the sides of all tn

BACK TO OLD MISSOURI.
Cole Younger Is TO Have a Full
Pardon im January.

St. Paul. Mimi, Dec. 4.-Cole Younger.
the last of the outlaw brothers, will be
given full pardon when the state board
of pardons meets in January 1t is
known that the members OF the board
have informally agreed to this the
best means of detracting from a con-
stantly recurring sensation. and for the
reason that his further detention can
complish no good.
There has been no application yet filed
for his pardon. but it is understood one
has been prepared and viii be filed with
in the ten days limit before the board
meets.
While the cases of Jim and Cole
Younger are not alike. the latter being
the stronger and more optimistic, there
are apprehensions that continual disap-
pointment at not being wholly freed may
affect his mind. and as such con
tingency may possibly be avoided by ris
return to Missouri. there is a general
sentiment favoring his pardon.
Since the self-inf1scted death of James
Younger few weeks ago, there has
been q material increase of sentiment in
favor of allowing Cole absolute freedom.
1t is generally known that the greatest
desire of Cole Younger's life is that ne
may be permitted to spend the balance
of his DAYS in Missouri although he
says but little about it, nleekly submit
ting to the dictates of Minnesota law.

TINY GIRL IN BUSINESS.

Since she was three years old and I'M
til quite recently sCDffn11e has been doing
for herself III the make believe" store
business. She dispensed wee bits OF
candy. nuts. fruit. and cake, for which
she received in payment buttons. pins.
glass marbles and ribbon So tidy and
attentive to business was the little miss
that she collected all of the loose but
tons within a radius of two blocks of
her home. Youngsters of her acquain>-
ance ffocked to the store. which she
called the Busy bee. All kinds of toys
and trinkets were dumped into the till
of the prosperous, and oblig1ng pro-
prietress. Many were the buttons
clipped from the eloaks and gowns Of
the mothers of Corinne's patrons until
Mrs Snyder the mother of the youthful
business lady, concluded that her daugh-
ter's fortune in the button, glass marble
and ribbon line had been made. OpDo-
sition stores were established. and
finally, at the solicitation of her mother
ment and set herself about opening a
''sure enough store.
Mrs. Louisa Johnson owns little
store directly across the street from Co.
rinne's home on Fourteenth street l.
was this little place that the child longed
to possess, and as Mrs. johnson was go
ing to retire from active business, Co.
rhine and her -indulgent mamma pur-
chased the store and COrinne was imme-
diately installed as proprietress.
The young lady was found serving q
big policeman with fried eggs, pie and
coffee. 1t is to this latter class and tt
fremen that Corinne is now catering.
Her place of business is quite near the
city hall, and during her earlier bust
ness career the big, blue coated city Off
Gals learned to admire the tact of their
little friend and often stopped to drop
a brass button into her money till.
Now that she is real business lady.
the different city departments furnish
not few customers for the little out
of-the-way lunch room.
The butcher and, baker and cigar
drummer look upon and treat Corinne
/ as they would an adult. They introduce
4 clever arguments in trying to inveigie
4 her into purchasing bills Of goods, and
as an incentive offer long time credit.
The place Is opened promptly at z
O'clock in the morning. The tiny hands
of the proprietress handle the broom
that sweeps the floor, but the broom Is
one of -fOr-a-nielxel size.

goes to her piano, of which she is very
fond and upon which she is quite pro
