Besides, if there is as much of--of that
stuff as you say there is. you wouldn't

might happen in the meantime. I'm
In close place, but could raise five
hundred dollars or even Il thousand.
My friends still stick to me- you know.
The truth is, Baker. I'd like the best
in the world to be able to make money
to pay back what some of my friends
have lost through me-"
Pole hung his head He seemed to
be speaking half to himself and on the
verge of smile when he replied, I'D
like to see you pay back some of 'em,
too. Mr.. Craig"
Craig laid his hand gently on Poles
shoulder.
How about lettin' me see the place,
BakerY' he said.
Pole hesiSated, and then he met the
ex-banker's look with the expression
of man who has resigned himself to
generous impulse.
SWELL, some day when you are
a.passin' my way stop in. an ZIP
How far is it:' broke in Craig, pull
ing his beard with unsteady fingers.

II don't keer," said Pole fesignedly.
But could you manage to go without
anybody knowin' whar you was bound

"Easy enough" Craig laughed. He
was really pleased with Poles extreme
cautiousness.
"Then you mought meet me out thar

"Well, I'll meet you. I'm n-goin' to

about that later"

All Have an "1tch. In Them,

Speaking of Servian Names" said
an observant man, "they are not so
bad when you once get used to them,
nor are they so hard to pronounce
You no doubt have noticed that all Ser
Wan names end with a syllable having
some resemblance to the English word
itch Some of the names end in les
or just with tc.' Sometimes it is icli'
or les or 'lscli,' and SO on. 1t makes
no difference how the name ends, you
will make no mistake If you give the
sound of Itch to the last syllable.
That Will be the proper Servian sound,
for Petrovich or Petrovic would be
correct and in both instances the word
would be pronounced in the same way.

young member of the Stock Exchange

changes his suit three times day-at

Inauence of Laughter on Dise.tion.

Influence of Laughter on Digestion.
The efficacy of laughter as an aid to
assimilation and Authorization has
passed into such a common physiolog-
ical truism that no one of ordinary in
telligence needs to have the principle
upon which it works elucidated for his
understanding in these days of wide
~ disseminated dietetic knowledge,
The average person who is not contin-
uously sin the dumps" knows from ex-
perience that laughter is good for di.
gestion, says What to Eat. 1t should
be borne in mind that mirth and good
cheer need not express themselves in
conyulsive laughter in order to infiu-
ence digestion. An aminble, content
ed, calm and equable temperament has
marked influence upon the digestive
processes without laughter.

ED. COURIER:

ED. COURIER:
Business is prominent in the minds
of the Mottsville people, yet goodly
share of time has been reserved for
pleasure. Plans are being made for
many social events to occupy the long
winter evenings. A social dance was
given in the Sheridan hall last Friday
night to Miss Lena Ruedy, who has
been visiting Miss May Park the past
few weeks. A crowd of young folks
were present and all enjoyed most
delightful evening Miss Reudy re-
turned to her home in Carson on the
following Wednesday.
The members of the Sheridan Gun
Club have moved a store house from
the w F. Dressler ranch to the hunt
ing grounds at Mud lake. Ducks are
plentiful this season, so the club antie-
ipates many successful hunts.
Messrs. VIM. Hanson, r. Fricke and
J. H. Park are busily engaged in haul
ing wood to Carson.
Christmas trees and entertainments
are being prepared at Genoa and at
Woodfords, Cal. Miss Grant of Carson
is principal of the former and Miss Pc
tree of Missouri of the latter.
A number of teams are employed
in hauling gravel to repair the road
between Mottsville and Waterloo,
known as the Mott Lane.

Sheridan Notes.

Henry Tucke's new l6x42 warehouse,
AUDITING his store on the south, is near
ing completion. The exterior is al
ready finished. The entire structure
is protected from fire by newly pat
ented corrugated iron sheathing.
Dave Fountain is conducting hotel
in the old Barber house.
jim Brockliss resumed his black
smithing business at the old stand the
latter part of November. Henry Rabe,
his predecessor, is at present in the
employ of Sam Imelli, while his family
resides at the former Swail hotel.
The roads in the Fairview district
clear into Sheridan have been thor
oughly overhauled by roadmaster
Fritz Dressler, and are now in prime
condition.
The Sheridan Gun Club is now a
full-fedged organization with men,
bership of 20 (limited). What was
formerly combined milk house and
kitchen on the old E. L. Wyatt place,
at present the property of VIM. F.
Dressler, has been moved in two sec
tions, and stands now on the north
side OF Mud Lake, ready to serve as a
club house, of which George Dale has
been appointed the keeper. The club
has ten years lease of the lake.
Herman Petersen, recently from
Dayton, where he conducted hotel,
is looking about for a business open
ing. He is at present helping Dick
Fricke, his brother-in-law in the latter's
saloon, and by hauling wood to Car
son.
If the Gardnerville boys imagine for
one single moment, that there is an
animus existing toward them on the
part of the Sheridan youths, they are
"away off," as the saying goes. 1t is
true that the latter "stole a march" on
the former in the Mud Lake NATTER
but what of it? That should only be
construed as simply "A superior STRAIT
writer can truthfully state, that in the
course of his many recent visits to the
west side of the valley, he has to hear
yet of the first derogatory word spok-
en- by anybody of their Gardnerville
brethren; and, why then should not
good fellowship prevail right along?
There is in course of organization a
minstrel club, to be composed of boys
on this side, which has for its aim the
giving of minstrel shows during the
winter season.
A social club will likewise become a
reality in the near future, for the pur-
pose of rendering weekly program,
and of giving two social dances
every month.
About the latter two fuller informa-
ton will be furnished your readers in
the next issue of the COURIER.
