A Brilliant Record.

Capt. Ira L. Reeves, U. 8. A.
retired, has been in the city the
past few days visiting bis parents
and brother and doing bit Of pros
pecting. As he has resigned his
position as military instructor IN

is possibility Of his locating here.
At the school from which be has
just resigned he was the instruct
or and comm andant of more than
eleven hundred students and was
drawing splendid salary, but he

years Of age, but his ability and
good luck brought him a captains

Butchers Who Swap Meats.

A housekecpcr who went to live on
the far east side of New York asked
butcher why she couldn't get from
him the best cuts of meat. His shep
was in Second avenue, above Thirty.
fourth street. The housckeeper, al
though she was economical, OCCASION
ally wanted q iinc steak or a choice
piece OF other meat for special occa-
sion. she learned that while the
butcher bought q whole OK he did not
keep the best parts Of it.
Every day." he said, Il send the
best meats l buy to the shops farther
west. The butchers over there buyHt
from me, and l get from them the.
cheaper cuts, for which they have no
use. We have q regular system Of ex-
change."-New York Times.

An Intelligent Dog.

A gentleman once had n very hand
sonic and intelligent collie in his pos-
session. One day he lost the dog when
taking 1t through the city. The crca-
tpre In vain searched everywhere for
his master ana at last, seeing hansoIn
cab creeping letsurely along, jumped
into 1t md settled himself determined
~ on the seat. The driver tried to en-
tiee It out, but without success, and n
little crowd collected. None dared to
tackle the dog, but ut last q racctious
spectator shouted out, IL say, Dill,
darn me IL he don't want to be druv
home" That's it: that's what he
wants." they all agreed amid shouts of
laughter. Then one examined his COL
lar and found an address clearly cn-
gr2vcd upon It. Without further ADD
cabby jumped up and drove UP to this
same address, which proved to he tho
correct one. Needless 10 say. the cab
man was substantially rewarded. The
dog had been in the habit OF driving
home every evening with lis master In
hanson and, with doggie reasoning,
had decided to follow his usual custom
when he had given up hope of finding
his master.-LondOn Opinion.

lin Buffers Home Life.

Doc O'Toole gave the following des-
cription of the home life of Jim Butler,
tn d~iscoverer of Tonopah, in a CONVEX
sation overheard by a Reno Journal man:
''Why, you fellows don't know Jim
Butler, He has a cool million dollars,
but his conduct don't show it. He and
his wife live out on their ranch firty miles
from nowhere as happy as a pair of
doves. Jim has no valet to shine his
shoes neither does Mrs. Butler employ a
nurse to do her hair up. An Indian wo-
man employed for occasional chores is
the only servant they rave. They don't
this to be economical. either, but SIM
ply because they prefer a quit home life
no one bothers them.
Don't think that Jim is close. There
are twenty men in Tonopah today, yes,
a rood many more thar that number,
who have Jim Butler to thank for a
start in life. There are societies and
that have been the Recipients of
his bounty in good round figures.
Jim isn't looking for notoriety. He
is one of those typical Nevada men who
are open hearted and close mouthed at
the same time. They do good in a quiet
sort of way and don't go around the
corner to tell everybody about it."
