Built From One Tree.

In 1853 the first Baptist service
held at Santa Clara, CAL, was con-
Quoted under an oak tree. When
the Baptist society decided to build
a church, the site on which the tree
stood was selected. This monster
of the forest, which cast an acre of
shade, was then cut down at .
height of twenty-five feet, and the
trunk was cut into lumber. The
big stump was partially followed
and allowed to stand as the church
tower. A high steeple was erected
on it, and the church was built from
the lumber made from the giant
oak. When the church was COM
pleted, 1900 feet Of lumber remain.

An elderly gentleman, whose ap,

this young man knows it and has
profted accordingly. He came to
me today, as we are utter strangers,
and asked me if I would pay him
$1,000 for an idea on advertising

him down to 800, a good figure for
an idea, but promptly told him thai
I would gladly pay his price if
upon communicating to me the idea
I considered it worth what he de-

what I, and not he, considered it

''To this he readily assented, and
in an hours talk he explained to

SLEEP AS AN INVESTMENT.

Burning the Candle at Both Ends Is a
Bad Business. e :
One great secret of Napoleon's
power was his ability to sleep. If
he had but an hour for sleep, he
slept an hour, even though the fate
of an army or of an empire hung in
the balance while he slept. General
Grant was another great example of
this ability to lay aside work at quit
ting time. Even in the Wilderness
campaign, when the responsibility
of the movements Of the nations
armies, stretched out in battle line
a thousand miles long, lay on his
shoulders; when his good night COM
mands involved all night marching
and fighting of his Army Of the Po-
tomac and his waking orders might
mean victory or defeat, the killing
or the saving of a thousand men
under it all he lay down and drop
ped to sound sleep as quickly as you
or I when we read ourselves sleepy
over an old story book. Grant had
what a great writer has Called
''frictionless mind" He saved for
the wear Of work what others throw
away on the tear of worry.
Here is a sample of the other ex.
IRENE: Said a Minneapolis lawyer to
me recently: "When I began the
practice of law, I always lost two
nights before I had a case in court,
tossing about and combating every
thinkable standpoint of my oppo-
nent. And I lost as much sleep aft
erward upbraiding myself for not
having thought of certain points at
certain pat occasions in the progress
Of the case" Of what value were
these night thoughts to this young
attorney? About as much value as
night sweats to a consumptive! l
venture to say that all the business
planning a man does in life while
lying on his back at night isn't
worth an hours good thinking on
his feet on one June morning. AS
compared with the sleep it displaces,
such night thinking isn't worth for
ty winks after dinner. Burning the
candle at both ends sometimes
makes fine bonfire. but it always

fees will not be made every four years,
but incumbents will hold office indefi-

only. The politics of the postmaster
makes no difference in small commun-

sought. 1t is pleasing to know that
hereafter the old custom of firing out
officers who gave full satisfaction, and
springing surprises on the community
by new appointments obtained through
political pull and by the quiet work OF
a handful of local politicians, is no
longer to prevail. The change of sys-

A number of the teamsters in the
Tonopah district are waiting to see
how much of success the traction en-
CINE lately shipped to that point will
be. The traction engine mp to the
present time, in Nevada, has been
marked by its failure to haul even it
self over the sandy roads. A number
of these engines are anchored at dit
ferent points in the State where they
make fine monuments. One was
going to. run near Columbus, on the
road toward Tonopah and 1t proved
such failure that it was necessary to
hitch lot of mules onto it and haul II
out of the road of teams. The same
fate overlook another machine near
DeLamar, and it also lies buried in the
sand. Not many months ago the ex.
pertinent was tried in Eastern Nevada
and the machine had to be hauled back
to the camp via the mule route. In
the meantime the teamsters are pre-
pairing for a big business out toward
the new discovery. When q traction
engine falls down in the desert II
proves totAl loss as it does not pay to
even take them out of the way fol-
junk. -E.cchange
