Don't say 81 think, when you mean
81 believe 1t is one of the common
est errors which can be found, and it
occurs nowhere SO often as in the de-
cisions from all the courts in the United
States, not excepting the Supreme
Court of the United States. Yet the
words are not synonymous. "Think"
means the exercise of the mind actively
in any way. "Believe' means to ac-
cept as true on the evidence of ones
own mental process of thought"
Some of the dictionaries use the word
''believe' as one of the meanings of
the word ''think," but it requires little
thought to be able to distinguish be-
tween the meaning of the two words.
The gentle Carson folk who recently
presented play at Gardnerville ex-
press themselves as highly elated over
the splendid reception they received,
and declare that the Gardnerville au-
dience was much quicker to appreciate
and recognize the several good points
and positions of the play than their
Carson friends.

M. Leopold Maybilleau, the French
sociologist, says in American colleges
founded by private individuals the
professors were not free to think and
write as they pleased, but were con-
trolled to large extent by the opin-
ions of the board of trustees. Who can
truthfully deny it? 1t is a sad and
perhaps harsh thing to say, but Mr..
Maybilleau may truthfully say, Il am
sorry it is SO, but I am not sorry said
it is SOL

Edwin Taylor, leader of the Pop
ulists of Kansas, says as between Roos-
evelt and Wall street, Roosevelt for
ever, and he further says there will be
a stampede of Populists and Socialists
and farmers generally for Roosevelt.

firm me in the views | have often ex-

William Lloyd, charged with attempt
to commit false Imprisonment and at
tempting to kidnap John A. Traylor on
January last at Ely, White Pine
county, at the time that Traylor shot
and killed two of Lloyd's companions,
has been tried for the offense, charged
and convicted of simple assault by a
jury in the District Court. A con-
viction of simple assault was an ac-
quittal of the higher charges. Lloyd
was therefore not guilty of the other
charges, and his companions were not
more guilty than he, because he was
the leader. No man is justified in kill
ing another for simple assault, unless
he believes, as a reasonable man, that
at the immediate moment of killing,
his own life was in danger, or was in
danger of receiving great bodily harm.

the Cuticura remedies have achieved their
greatest success. Original in compost
ton scientifically compounded, absolutely
pure, Interchangeable in any climate. always

they present to those suffering from Eczema
the most successful curative of modern
times. We know that this will be con-

with the character and obstinacy Of the
disease under consideration, but it is justi-
fed by innumerable successes where all
the remedies and methods in vogue have
failed to cure, and in many cases, 10 relieve,
even.
The first step in the treatment of the
chronic forms Is TO remove the scales and
crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths
with Cuticura Soap. Tho scalp, ears,
elbows, hands, ankles and feet will require
frequently q thorough soaking in order
to penetrate the thickencd skin and crusts
with which these parts are often covered.
