NEVADA GIRLS.

Henry Ritter was sitting in front
of the Office of the Elite brewery
the other day, quietly reading his
bible, which he had just run
across, for the first time in forty
two years, when he was startled
by the musical rustic of silk shirts,
and the soft cough of a blonde
feminine beauty.
Ritter Immediately reached for
his watch chain, took in the slack
rearranged his necktie, and pulled
up a smile like he always had on
hand, but seldom uses, save when
he receives an order for a carload
lot.
Looking up he saw four queens,
all strangers, before him. With
that gallantry for which he is
noted as far as Vista, he rose to
his feet, with a warmth of hospital
ity, which made the ladies look
for the colored man and the ice
water-a la hamman baths.
Gus ladies'" began she of the
golden hair and pearly teeth, "have
been out walking and are very
thirsty My husband told me a
brewery was easy and
But Ritter was there with bells
on and the big steams came. The
ladies were delighted and as they
departed Ritter was heard to re-
mark, talk about women, the Ne
vada girls are all right. They ask
for what they want, usually get
it, and don't care who knows it. !"

MILLION ACRES OF LAND THROWN OPEN.

The United States, through the
Federal Land Office at Los An
geles, will open to settlers within
the next sixty days about ,ooo,ooo
acres of land in California. This
land is situated between Needles
and Mojave, and borders the Colo
RADIO River.
Much of it is valuable agricul-
turally. The prospective throwing
open of this vast tract to settlement
is the result of a recent decision of
the United States Supreme Court
with respect to the famous grant
made to the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad by act of July, 1866.
In the territory which embraces
this great tract the Southern Pa
cifc had selection privilege. Au-
thority for the receiving of entry
for the 100000 acres
in question was received from
Washington on the I3th inst. by
the officials of the United States
Land Office at Los Angeles.

GREAT RESERVOIR AND DAM FOR IRRIGA-
TON.

The Great Falls, Mont, Land
Office received orders on the 18th
inst. to withdraw from entry all
lands which the Government pro-
poses to use as reservoir for what
will probably be the first work by
the Government under the new ir-
rigation law Government engi-
neers have located a site for a dam
which will be sixty-fve feet high
and about two miles long.
The reservoir will cover district
about twenty miles long by eight
miles wide, space so great that it
will take the entire flow of Milk
and Beaver rivers two years to fill
it.
The construction of the dam and
reservoir will make necessary the
abandonment of twenty-seven
miles of track on the Great North
ern between Malta and Saco, which
now runs through the proposed
reservoir and will be under ten
feet of water when the reservoir
is completed.

grafton laws of this country went

public charge can be deported
within two years of his landing.
The old law said one year. Ac-
cording to the new law the Board

merly provided. The following
additions to the excluded classes
were made:
"Epileptics, persons who have
been insane within FIVE years pre-
vious, persons who have had two
or more attacks of insanity at any
time previously, professional beg
gars, anarchists or persons who be-
lieve in or advocate the overthrow

enough to give 100 acres each to

Sayings of President Roosevelt.

l despise the man who will not
work.
Play is a hrst-rate thing, so long
as you know it is play.
The crimes of craft and the
crimes of violence are equally dan
gerous.
You must trust to the citizen
himself to work out the ultimate
salvation of the State.
1t is not kindness to bring up
child in the belief that it can get
through life by Sinking the diff
culties.
The worst enemy of the people,
upon whose behalf mob violence
is often invoked, is the man who
invokes it.
1t is a good thing to have great
factories and great citizens, but il
is better thing to have strong
and decent men and women.
We shall win out in the future
not by seeking to take the course
that is pleasantest, but by finding
out the course that is right and
following that.

DOG GOLD TOOTH.
Philadelphia Canine OF the "Bulp
Breed Has Remarkable Mouth
AdOrnment.

A well-known Philadelphia pet
stock dealer some years ago hit upon
a very odd and effective way to iden-
tify a dog, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The owner of this dog called
on him and said:
"Jack, my valuable bull. is running
away all the time. So far he has
been traced and found in each of his
fights, but it has been amatter of
difficulty, and / am afraid that some
day he will be irretrieyably lost be-
cause of the lack of some positive
and striking mark Of Identification"
"You want" said the dealer. "a
good identifying mark? Well, I'll tell
YOU what to do. Go to dentist and
have a gold crown put on one of the
dogs front teeth. The crown won't
hurt the tooth; on the contrary, it will
preserve it; and always it will be a
mark whereby your dog will be
readily known"
The other did as the dealer advised.
and since then there have appeared
from time to time advertisements in
the newspapers that began:
"Lost-A bulldog with gold front
tooth"

THE COUNTRY NEGRO.
Some of the Advantages He Enjoys
Which Are Denied to His
City Brother.

The average city negro grows up
in the shade. He is completely over
Swallowed by his overtowering envi-
ronment. As one walks along the
streets of our great cities and views
the massive bui. lings and sky-seek-
ing structures, he finds no status for
the negro above the cellar floor. The
city negro of education and culture IS
forced into, mental employment be-
cause higher forms of occupation are
preempted by the more favored
class. There are dozen competitors
for every dollar in sight, and in the
great majority of cases, the negro is
handicapped by his color, says the
Southern Workman.
The country negro, on the con-
trary, is on terms of equality with
his environment. He is not con-
fronted by suggestions of inequality
at every turn. Nature is a mother
who is equally kind and benefcent
TO all of her children. An acre of
yround will yield as much for the
llack as for the white tiller. The
markets are colorblind. No one in
quires into the color of the producer
If the best produce in the market,
Except as a matter of idle curiosity.
No labor organization has yet placed
4 boycott upon negro farm labor.
The farm Offers fer the negro the
only really uuhampcrel field which
is open to him en- an unlimited scale.

MOONSHINERS OF FRANCE.
Hundreds of Thousands of Families
DistiII Liquors for Household
Consumption.

The recent agitation Of the bouil-
leurs de cru, or private distillers, of
France, against the proposals of NJ.
Rouyier. the minister Of finance, to
tax their franchise has disclosed the
immense power Of this vested interest
among the peasantry. 1t is estimated
that no fewer than 100000 to 1,S00, 600
families avail themselves of the privi-
lege to distill from the pears, apples,
damsons and cherries of their orchards
spirituous liquors for household con-
sumption, says London paper. But
as every hectoliter of noneXempt liqHor
worth, perhaps, some Sl0-is taxed
to the tune of $4l, there is every induce
ment to the enterprising peasant to
distill more than his household can
consume, in order to do an Illicit bust
ness with his neighbor, and in this way
some $4,000, 900 to $4O,OO0,O0O per an
mum escapes the treasury. In the or
chard land of Normandy the privately
distilled liquor is. indeed, quite rec
ognized medium of exchange, and the
bouilleur de cru often pays his work
men. his tailor, his butcher, and his
land in terms of alcohol.

STICKS TO OLD CUSTOMS.
EHe supreme Court of the United
states Is Welded TO Its
Traditions.

The supreme court of the United
States does business on an antiquated
plan. While it undoubtedly is the most
dIgnified body of men i'm this country,
II not in the world, it has its peculiari-
ties, and they are striking ones, says
the indianapolis Sentinel. One of the
traditions of the court prevents news
paper correspondent from attending
the sessions Of the court in their pro.
fessional capacity. Provision is made
for a preventative Of each of the
great press associations, but the CORE
spOndents have TO push and crowd in
behind the rear railing with the hun
dreds of other spectators. Usually
they have to stand up, and if they are
seen taking notes an attendant escorts
them to the door. The result is that
the 200 or more correspondents have to
depend on their memory for their re-
ports of proceedings in the supreme
courtroom.
There is another custom Of the court
which prevents correspondents from
seeing the opinions handed down until
they have secured authority from the
judges who severally deliver them
from the bench. This authority is not
always given, the judge exercising his
own discretion about it. Not infre-
auently the correspondent has to go
to the home of the judge to get the
written authority, and perhaps by the
time he gets back to the capitol the Of
fee of the clerk of the court is closed.

PLACED DUTY BEFORE WORK.
Nan in Need Of Employment Refused
Job to March with the I'm
employed.

A London preacher had an interest
ing experience not long ago with hun
CRY man. The mendicant explained
that he had found it abs olutely .impos-
sible to get work. lie had applied ev-
erywhere, always to be turned away.
and at last nothing remained for him
but to beg from door to door for the
food that was necessary to keep life in
his body.
The clergyman's heart was filled
with pity. The poor man seemed to be
honest, and after being furnished with
a good meal he was asked where mes
sage would reach him. He gave an ad-
dress and went away.
Then the preacher sat down to think
the matter over. He knew of no work
that he could find for the man, but he
decided to invent a job.
Accordingly the next day the preach
er sent message to the luckless man,
saying:
Come at once. have a position
for you We need a man to clean our
school house and keep it in order"
He received an immediate reply as
follows:
"Sorry can't come. Ihave to march
with the unemployed to-day Would
tomorrow do?'

PITTSBURG WITHOUT THE CHI

INFLUENTIAL MLRTHA.
the Business Concern in
DObbs and DObbs.

This would be a dull old world if
it were not for the originality that
abides in small towns" remarked a
travelling man, according to the Detroit
Free Press. "The chief characteristic c
of small towns is their great and
overwhelming independence; every cit
izen does as he pleases, and he doesn't
care what his neighbors think or say.
In cities people fall into one mold Of
opinion-they grow conventional and
afraid to leave the beaten path; but
the small-town dweller goes his own
way; he is the only free American
after all.
"Out at Poketown the other day
saw a grocery sign which read: Mar
tina Dobbs and David Dobbs.' asked
the man in the post office how such
curious arrangement of names hap
pened.

that. He says Marthy holds tn thing
up. an so she is head 9th firm. That's
all right. amt it?'
"Of course. assured the speaker
that it was exactly right. My friend
in the post office chuckled gleefully and
went on:
"Gee! Marthy played Dave good
