From Voices Of Rain.


THERE'S little grove beside the hill
Where aspens shake and thrill,
With silver stems beneath their glimmering
green
Against the pines dark screen.
And all day long the rain unceasing weaves,
Ripples OF light among their tremulous leaves
And all day long the moss against their feet
Tufted, and starred, and sweet
Flashes in fiickering splendor with the crown
or diamond drops swept down.
Through pillared arches of the forest aisles,
Sacred untrodden miles,
The yoiceless throngs In this Gods temple dim
Bow TO the rains soft hymn;
walls on whose pile nor axe nor hammer
wrought
The Master builders thought.
Unchiseled font and granite altar stair
Wait on the wordless prayer.
And overhead against brooding sky
The priestly pine trees high
With lifted hands invoke on vale and crest
Infinitudes OF rest.
CONSOLATION.
Hast thou forgotten God who gives the rainS
Plenteous and mercful the long showers pour
On marching fields where dust and drouth were
sore;
yet will thine eyes watch out the night again:
Peace on, the Swallowed hills and sky is deep
Shall not thine heart be comforted with sleep
AS earth is comforted and lulled OF pains
Before thy prayer the heavens are brazen still,
Nor yet to cool thy thirst the fountains I'LL.
Nevertheless His word shall not be vain.
What hope had EARTH gasping at yesternoon
What hope hast thou, whose comfort shall be
soon?
Are We not in His hands for bliss or banes
Tomorrow. where the upland fields lay black,
Thou shalt 60 forth and look on life come back;
Harvest shall follow seedtime yet again.
Tomorrow, where thy heart lay whitening,
Fountains Of love before His feet shall springs
Peace shall repay thee sevenfold for PAIN.
Hast thou forgotten God who gives the rain?

1884 Dollars.

Many exchanges are running an item
to the effect that any person possessing
an 1884 dollar, by notifying ind send
ing it to the fair authorities at st. Louis
will have his expenses paid to the Worlds
fair next year. Following is the history
OF how the story gained circulation and
what caused il, as told by a st. Louis
paper;
mo single dollar of any year will pay
the bill OF course. The whole thing is a
gag. The way it is put by a joker is;
"If you have 1884 dollars they will pay
your expenses to the Worlds fair at st
Louis"
"Of course, 1854 will, and more. The
gag lie gotten off in many different ways,
but all hinge on the same thing-speak-
ing Of as many dollars as there are units
in some date, and leading the hearer to
suppose he is speaking Of q dollar of
that date"

Midst Autumn's Charms.

The melancholy days have com the
saddest OF the year, but pumpkin pies
will soon be ripe and therefore | don't
keer. The rustling corn must hurry up
the frost is on the track, and soon we'll
feel the chilling breeze, so says the al
manac. The frightened rabbit skurries
of, hides down in the stubble. for when
he hears the sportsman's gun he knows
therell soon be trouble. The wary quail
has timid grown and pipes her gentle
warning, the winds from misty dells be-
gin to chill up in the morning. The
land is lit with golden rod and there in
purple glory the regal asters lift their
heads and tell the winds their story.
The canned fruit has been put away
and packed down in the cellar; the good
old summer time is past, the year is
growing meller.-Ex.

Should Have a Fire Department.

The alarm of fire was sounded Mon
day morning about 10 o'clock. 1t was
found to be at the residence of Mrs. L.
d. Huntsman, adjoining the Capitol
Hotel. The cause of the alarm was from
a defective fiue and had it not been dis
covered just when it was would have
caused a disastrous fire. Luckily no
damage was done.
It lie some time since we have had a
fire in town and the alarm sounded
Monday morning was a warning-if an
additional one is necessary-to the bust
ness men and house holders of Battle
Mountain that, il they care to guard
their property from destruction by con
iagration, some action must be taken to
form a better protection against the
enemy that is always present. The Bat
tie Mountain Improvement Association
which was organized some two years ago
was going to take this matter in hand
but it being several months since they
have held a meeting all interest IN the
matter has been dropped. There is no
reason why something should not be
done to be able at all times to fight a
fire when it occurs and our interests de-
mand that we use our best endeavors to
do 30.
Without organization it is not pos
sible to have concerted action; without
organization, everyone is the tail, and no
one the head. The town is large enough
to produce a well organized fire depart
ment. The cost Of maintaining it need
be but slight, after once started, and its
existence, in time, will %measurably de.
crease the rate of insurance. The town
is sadly in need Of a fire department and
the matter is up to he business men,
and it is for them to act.

Scarlet Fever 1T Ely.

An epidemic Of scarlet fever has
broken out al Ely, White Pine county.
For the past two weeks the disease has
prevailed there, and the News says il is
undoubtedly in the atmosphere and con-
tagious. A number of families are pre-
pairing to leave there to avoid the cpl
demic. Miss Elva Mcintyre, daughter
of Mrs. Charles Pope. 16 years Of age,
died in Ely Tuesday Of the disease, after
a four days illness. The people Of Ely
evidently do not realize the great risk
they are taking in holding public fun
erals OF victims Of this disease. At the
funeral of Miss Mcintyre, six boys and
six girls, former classmates, acted as pail
bearers. The public school at Ely has
been closed to prevent the spread Of the
disease
The Ely News says it is reported that
several people will leave here in the
next few days tt avoid the scarlet fever
epidemic. This is all wrong and such
people should consider the safety and
health Of others as well as themselves.
This disease has been prevailing here for
more than two weeks past, and it is un-
doubleday in the atmosphere and con-
tagious. Those who are here have all
been exposed to it, and are perhaps in
fected with it now, although its presence
has not yet shown itself. BY merely re-
moving to some other own will not pre-.
vent then, from having it. but on the
other hand they are apt to carry the dis
ease with them wherever they go and
subject the people Of other towns, where
now it 10 unknown, to the same cpl
demic. Some radical measures should
De taken to prevent a further spread OF
the disease, or at least to coniine 1t to
Ely alone.

Do Good--It Pays.

"Good deeds are better than real es-
tate deeds-some of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend u helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by it,"
Most men appreciate a kind word and
encouragement more than substantial
help. There are persons in this COM
munity who might truthfully say
"My good friend, cheer up. A few

New Mining Methods.

New York Press: Out in Gold Creek,
Nevada, placer mining is done with
chickens: Large focks are turned loose
in the ranges. and when rounded up
their crops are found to be packed with
gold. Eeah hen will pick up $50 worth
10 a year. But may be the goats oi
nothern Italy will be an improvement
With little training they would in all
probability be ten times as good as a
pick and shovel. II their stomaches
could be lined with mercury to arrest
the gold they swallow and keep it from
passing through the a.imentary canal
each of the herd might be worth several
hundred dollars a year.
