EVASION OF LAW.

The cure of crime is in its prever
tior. The resorts Of law breakers
should be under the strictest survel-
lance, if for no other purpose that
youth may be warned away. The lee.
islative power of Nevada provided a
law intended to effect the closing of
the Infamous dance halls througout
the State. Those in Tonopah were SUI
posed to have submitted to official
mandate and gone out of business
March Goth. Two days after the man.
agement Of the Green Front" ono

ceived from the officials of Nye coul-
ty license, purporting to authorize
the conduct Of a theatre. Under this,
there was at first slight form of ci-
cumspection and pretended observar-
ce of the law, but after few nights Ct
increasing liberty there is essentially
the same old system. The so-called
performance proceeds until the cppoi-
tune time, when dancing and the reg
uar solicitation of drinks attain as
it did before. The painted denizens
receive their commissions, and the
maquereauX sport fine reminent on
the illicit returns. Another outfit of
! the same original class is still less
| disguised in its operations.
The question is as to whether tie
law which intended to impose a to

drawn as to possibly permit such pal
pable evasion of its real purpose.-Bo-

Small Farming Pays.

Inc experience of man who
leaves business to get back to the
land and make living possesses a
peculiar interest, especially If he is
successful. The following MARIA
tive OF New Hampshire man given
ID the Claremont Eagle is case Of
bringing up the production of a
small farm to profitable basis:
II was city man, but five years
agony business was so dull thought
would try farming / had. very
little money, but have been success
ful- have paid for my farm and
own all my stock and tools and think
if all farmers did as / have done
they would not be preaching that
farming doesn t pay.
4 began the first year to work
out for my farmer neighbor, but
soon found this would not pay. I
and all the men worked for were
no better off than when we started
| thought: / have farm as well
as they Why can't get living
at work for myself if they do and
dan anord to hire help?'
After the first year ! began to
work for myself and found better
results ] have small farm of fifty
seven acres, which cuts double the
bay it did five years ago. / think
man can do better on small farm
than he can on big farm, for he
cannot cultivate the whole OF a big
farm, and one acre of good land is
better than five acres of poor.
If farmers would work as hard
for themselves as they have to when
working for others, they would get
rich. ! do all my own work and

COWS, young stock, and raise be-
tween 400 and 300 bushels of onions
a year besides q variety of other
vegetables. | find the onions the
most profitable.
Il think il unwise for man when
be starts on farm to begin fixing
the buildings He should do it
as he can afford; then he
viii be more apt TO hold his own.
There arc good many ways of

Chaptico on business and while
there Judge George r. Garner had

and very kindly invited me to sit

Justice Garner y mode and manner
Of trying cases. His examination
of witnesses is thorough but cour-

Oily and quickly as anyone ! ever
saw, other than alawyer His iudg-
ment Is far reaching and sound, and
the quickness with which he dis
Germs the points in case is remark
able. Bot, most important Of all,
when be has case he reads and in
forms himself as to the law bearing
upon 1t, and when it comes to trial
he Is ready for any issue that may
arise. In delivering his judgment
he does IL so clearly and forcibly
that each party seems satisfied and
accepts it as orthodox. Chaptico il
