Near the Canauacta creek, one day
in October. a water snake met black
snake. The reptiles did not imme-
diately clinch, but hissed fiercely and
cireIed around each other as if seeking
for an opening. The black snake
pressed matters, and in a few seconds
succeeded in getting the tail of his op-
ponent into his mouth. and TO preclude
all possibility Of an escape began to

SAVED HER JEWELS.
How Timid Little Cora 0utwitted a
Bold Burglar.
Even After He Had Secured All of
ResOIute JuIia's Rings and Money
-Uniaue study of American
Maiden Nature.

Of the two girls one would say
Julia is by far the better protection
against burglars. Cora is small and
quiet and sweet to see and hear.
Julia is five feet ten, generously bullt
as to bOny framework, and she was
born with a dare against all the
world Cora has a nice conscience,
Julia none. When Cora tells lie
it is not one, for a lie is a statement
calculated to deceive, and no mortal
was ever deceived by one of Cora
fbs. Julia, however, tibs by nature
and tells the truth only for expedi-
ency. Julia has always taken care
of herself and scorns men healthlIy.
Cora has always been taken care OF
and is of a plastic temperament.
Yet the two are bosom friends, de-
spite their differences, and Cora ad-
mires Julia and Julia dOmineers over
Cora.
The other night, says the Chicago
Daily News, it happened that Julia
stayed all night with Cora. 1t also
happened that no one else was III
the house save Cora's mother. The
absence of masculine protection was
bitterly bemoaned by Cora, who had
received that day the pleasing little
sum of S11O, which was in cash and
in the house. Julia sniffed scoTnful-
ly as she deposited her two ten-dollar
bills in the tiny drawer Of Cora's
writing desk.
what earthly account would a
man be?' she demanded. I'm not
afraid of any burglar that ever drew
a pistol Put your money here and
stop fussing."
But Cora fused and grew eXasper-
atingly nervous over the matter, and
finally decided to keep it all where il
was, in the little chamOis bag about
her neck.
Two hours later Julia, reused by a
slight noise, sat up in bed and looked

This does hot bear out what we

cago Inter Ocean this individual writes
that Engineer Gardner has big black
cat, named Bob, which is his constant
companion on his engine. Winter finds
the cat snuggled up upon the cushions
of the cab, and the running board is
his airing quarters. Bob is a prime
favOrite with the men all along the
division.
For a week big American eagle has
been seen in the bend of the road near
the state line, ard the trainmen have
tried firing shots at him, without
bringing him down. When Bob has
been taking his airing upon the run
ming board the big eagle has eyed him
narrowly and greeted him with fierce
screams and Tapping of his wings.
As the day express was dashing
around the curve on Sunday morning,
Bob was on the running board, enjoy
ing the sunlight. Quick as a fash the
eagle dashed downward from a big
hemlock and seized the cat, when a
terrific battle ensued.
Bob retreated to the pilot and put
up~a gallant defense with teeth and
nails, and for three minutes hOnOrs
were easy, but the bird got neck hold
on the cat, and in a moment more
would have been in the air but for the
opportune arrival of the fireman, who,
armed with an iron bar, attacked the
eagle, which dropped the eat and tried
to defend itself against the man.

Cora, who also sat upright and
vie. ed the spectacle. lnstinctively
the two girls grasped hands, and
Julia drew in her breath as one
breathes when about to expel it in
one forcible yell. The grim figure
before them seemed to recognize the
sound.
Don't you scream, lady," he said,
warningly. Il amt goin' to hurt
you, but L want to know where your
money and rings are"
Take that horrible thing away -
Julia said, in a voice that Cora did
not recognize, it was so thin and
quavery. Here are my rings and my
moneys yonder in that desk-the lit

Good" said the gentlemanly
housebreaker, as he pocketed three
rings and gained possession of the
money, still keeping the girls careful
ly covered with the revolver. Then
he came back to the bed. Now
you!" He was standing over Cora.
Julia turned sick with dread. That
frail little thing beside her-what
would be the effect, not so much of
the loss of the money she had but
of the fright and shock?
I'm staying all night with her"
said Cora, calmly. Il haven't a sin
gle thing with me-"
A slight gasp from Julia made the
masked gentleman turn a threaten
ing glance on her, but Julia had no
spirit left for screaming. She sat
up and listened to the conversation.
NO." said Cora, sweetly, in reply
to stern question, not even a pock-
etboOk."

vinced of the truth of her words nv

Cora, frankly holding up her hands.
Julia gasped again as she thought
of the two sOlitaires and the diamond
and emerald one and the beautiful
ruby that had cleaned on Cora's
hands in the moonlight just as they
went 10 sleep. Yet they were quite
bare now.
Anybody else here?" the burglar
growled again in deep disgust.

might be proper and legal to detail
Miss Hagner as the secretary TO Mrs.
Roosevelt. but they ask what warrant
of law exists TO supply her services in
a similar capacity to the wife Of the
secretary of war.
The art of successfully fulfilling the
duties of private secretary is one that
appeals to many gentlewomen. and
many have incurred considerable ex-
pense fitting themselves for this work.
These ladies resent the fact that Miss
Hagner fills two such important posts
on such meager salary, and they
have brought their grievances to the
attention of some senators and rep
resentatives, who will investigate.
1t is conteaded that the secretary
who attends TO the white house work
should not receive less than 500 a
month. They also consider that Miss
Haener should either remain at her
desk at the war department or resign.
The experience of the past winter
has taught Mrs. Roosevelt that she
needs some one who can give her en-
tire time TO the labor. Miss Hagner,
In addition to serving Mrs. Root, acts
in a similar capacity for Mrs. Depew
and Mrs. Hanna. There evidently will
be much opposition to Miss Hagner's
appointment to the white house if
she is continued on the war depart

further from the princess mind than
that one day a son Of hers would be-

for Germany both her royal brother

NEWLANDS' NAME OMITTED.

The names of Hon. Francis G.. New
lands and Judge Thomas p. Hawley
will appear on the State ticket as
candidates for United States Senator.
TIE last Legislature enacted a law,
intended to enable as nearly as pos
sible, the people of the State to act
in accordance with the proposed Fed
eral Constitutional Amendment pro-
viding for the election of United
States Senators by popular vote.
.
The candidates nave been nominated
by the State conventions and the leg
~islative nominees of the county con-
ventions are pledged to support the
candidates of their several parties.
As the matter stands the intent of
the law is ignored and the placing of
the names of the Senatorial candi-
dates on the ticket appears to us little
less than farcical. There Is no assur-
ance that the Legislature will consider
the popular vote, but on the contrary
each legislative nominee of both or
CARNATIONS stands pledged to support
the candidate nominated by the State
convention of his party.-Reno Jour
nal.
The Journals argument that the in
tent of the law has not been carried out
is sound, but it is In error in stating that
the names of both Hon. Francis G.. New
lands and Judge Hawley will appear on
the ticket.
The Secretary of State has sent to the
various County Clerks in the State GER
titled copies of the list of nominations
made by the respective party State con-
ventions. The name of Mr.. Newlands
does not appear in the list of nomi-
nations,
The Clerk sof the various counties SUI
the printing of the election bal
lots, upon which are placed the names
of the candidates which have been GER
to them by the Secretary of State.
That officer has sent out the certifi-
Gates, but Mr.. Newlands' name has been
omitted. Thomas p. Hawley appears as
the candidate of the Republican party
for United States Senator, but there is
no candidate of the Democratic and Sill
yer parties.
Franci G.. Newlands was duly nomi-
mated for United States Senator by the
Democratic and Silver parties at the
Reno conventions. His nam
should have been certified by the officers
of the conventions to the Secretary of
State as the nominee for United States
Senator, and the Secretary Of State
should have certified his nomination TO
the County Clerks so that Mr.. Newlands'
name would appear on the ballots in the
proper place.
There has been a failure of duty some
where-either through intent or an in
excusable error on the part of some per-
son or persons.
The Silver State believes that the omis-
sion OF Mr.. Newlands' name from the
ticket will be a great injustice and in
jury to his candidacy and that steps
should be taken at once to remedy the
mistake If possible.
