A Real Christmas Story.

In a large New York institution says
The December Worlds Work, there WAS
an employee whose Christmas gift mad
the saving grace of individual consider
alton. He was a bookkeeper, nearly
forty years in harness, and he had been
overlooked in former years of fatness
i'll Wall street, except for a customary
and unvarying ten-dollar gold piece. Sew
eral days before Christmas last year the
office became agitated with rumors Of
an unprecedented food OF good fortune.
Ihe old bookkeeper tried to keep calm,
but his hopes ran riot, and the day be-
;cre Christmas found him in a nervous
furry. Re saw his fellow employees called
into the cashiers office one by one, each
returning with a sealed envelope. The
bcokkeepcr waited for his summons but
it came not. Even the office boy emerged
biting new gold pieces to test them, and
the roll was complete an hour before
the bookkeeper summoned courage to
send IN an inquiry whether a mistake
had been made in the case Of Mr.. Blank,
and whether an envelope had been over
locked. The answer was:
There is no envelope for Mr.. Blank.
but the president wishes to see him for
q moment.
The bookkeeper saw only one interprc-
tation. This meant his discharge for fail
ing efficiency. He fairly tottered into
the sanctum, pitiful figure of panic
fear.
''Sit down, Mr. Blank said tho pres
ident. Il have omitted your name IN
the list of Christmas rewards for faith
ful service, and l regret that tie bank
will have to find another man to fill your
position after tomorrow. Compose your
self, sir, tears are undignified in this
office. You should know better after be
ing here for so long a term of service
Don't go. I have few words more 20
say before you leave. The directors have
decided to retire you on full pay for the
rest of your life, end the years salary
Will be paid you in advance. This does
not establish ruinous precedent, for
employees with thirty eight years OF faith
full service to their credit are not sprink-
led very plentifully through Wall street."

Light as the airy calling of dove or

Soft as the moonlight floating that shad-

Or starlight gently beaming where daisies
fleck the field,
So comes the thought Of thee.

I am thine.
My soul now binding, freeing, for knowing

My senses thrill with pleasure the happy

My hearts best sacred treasure thy

So stays the thought of thee.

Death of Henry Fulstone.

Henry Fulstone, the web known
Jacks Valley farmer, died suddenly in
Carson Monday evening of heart
disease.
The News says he drove in from his
ranch early in the day and consulted a
physician, saying that while he was
not seriously i'll, he did not feel as well
as he wished to. After an examination
his physician advised. him that he
should take to his bed at once.
Although lightly considering this
serious aspect of his ailment, he obey
ed the injunction and went to his
brothers residence, where he suddenly
expired a few hours later.
Deceased enjoyed the respect and
confidence of all his fellow men. His
honest, kindly nature won him hosts
of friends, who extend their deepest
sympathy to the bereaved family, and
from the depths of their hearts feel re-
greet and sorrow at the loss of one who
was a pleasant and affable acquaint-
ance, a true friend and man of pure
moral worth and sterling character.
He leaves a devoted wife and family
and two brothers. He owned a fine
property in Jacks Valley and has al
ways been considered one of our most
prominent citizens.
Mr.. Fulstone was a native of Bath,
England, aged "a years, . months and
% days. He was a member in good
standing of Douglas Lodge No. II. F.
& A. NJ, of Genoa, and the funeral
took place yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock from the Masonic Hall in Car

DANGER THREATENS.
Great Destruction of Property May
Result From Ice Gorges in
the River.

There is great danger from Ice gorges
in the Carson river. The river is froz-
en- over solid and a sudden warm spell
would do untold damage to roads,
bridges and farm lands by flooding
them with water and ice.
The big bridge near the Lutheran
Church south of Gardnerville would
surely go out. The river is frozen
solid at that point clear up to the
bridge and the, water is running over
the road both sides of the structure. A
warm spell would cause a regular ice
blockade and send the rushing waters
all over this section, perhaps into the
streets of Gardnerville, destroying
property and damaging all the ranches
and roads in this section.
1t has been suggested that public
meeting should be called and some
thing done, if possible, to prevent
serious damage. The County Com
missioners and prnperty owners could
act together and perhaps cut channel
through the ice, which is hourly grow
ing thicker and obstructing the river.
1t would be big job to open, up a
channel for. the water, but a, warm
spell now would cause terribladestruc-
ton all along the course of the river.
Something should be done, if possible,
to prevent sI1ch a calamity
Citizens of Gardnerville walked out
to the bridge yesterday to view the
situation, and all pronounced the river
in very dangerous condition. A
gradual return of warm weather is the
only thing that viii prevent the great
est destruction of property.
