Thief r-Ieyerne ss.

4 magistrates clerk has been known
to have his tie pin stolen while in
court. anG one in Birmingham 4 few
years ago lost his coat in the same

while the police were searching him
and passed one of them to his wife in
the cell while the police were looking
on. The rings were under his tongue,

A newspaper mar was the second in
line at the box Office of one Of the popu-
lar theaters on the opening night. The
first man asked for four seats. and
when be started to pay for them the
man in the box Office said:
"Ot. that's all right. There's no
charge OF all for those seats"
The man looked surprised. thanked
the ticket manipulation and went on.
Then the newspaper man had his turn.
and he said:
'Piease satisfy impertinent curiosity
and tell me why you wouldn't take
that mans money"
Well" said the treasurer. Il expect
you didn't notice that that man was
cross eyed. If I had sold him the first
tickets we wouldn't have had a bit Of
luck through the whole engagement

IN INDIA.
They Are Careless About Measure

mentSs Tools and Time.
The chief faults of the Indian car
penter are his neglect Of accurate
measurement, his careleSSness with re-
gard to the efficiency of his tools and
his lack of perception of the value Of
time as a factor in The execution of
work. He has also to be taught to &C.
cupy his mind with the work in hand
and as much as possible to exclude
other subjects.
For example, the making Of q jack
plane involves the choice of the wood.
the blade and its cutting edge. the
wedge and its holding power. the han
die and finally the operation of plan
Ing. All these operations are capable
of very simple explanation, aid this
exercise provokes IN emulation among
students while exercising their reason
ing powers. No Indian workman buys
a plane. He buys the blade and makes
the rest. but he rarely makes it we'll.
He buys a saw blade and makes the
handle. and. generally speaking. he
spends the smallest possible sum on his
outfit in spite Of the extra labor the
involves. He must therefore
be taught to make as many labor saw
ing tools as possible and to make them
we'll. He has to be taught the use and
repair Of a grindstone and how to
mount it in wood without metal fit
tings. The hard. tough woods so com
mon in India make this an easy mat
ter. The Indian has vet to be taught
that grinding and whetting are two
distinct operations. the first removing

rance of gauges renders him unable to
make ever twenty articles exactly
alike. He rarely knows what size Of
nail or screw to use on 4 given job.
His screw is always too small.-Cas-

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer one
Hundred Dollars for any ease it fails
TO cure. Send for list of testimonials.

1t is generally conceded that the rev.
enue laws passed by the Legislature of
1903 must be amended at the next SEES
sion of the Legislature. Property in
Storey and Esmeralda counties is al
ready far over-valued, making such
property bear from five to ten times
its proportionate share of the expenses
of the State government, if the state
ment of the State Examiner is true
that in other counties not one-fifth of
the property values is reached by the
Assessors In Ormsby, house and
home property pay far more than their
share and business property almost up
to full cash value, and in many in
stances over cash value There is alb
solutely no pretense that the railroad
property bears as much as one-third of
the burdens of either State or county
government. The people should be
very careful next election to select
men who understand the values of
property and taxation generally, to
remedy these great wrongs. 1t is of
infinitely greater importance to us
than the election of United States
Senator.
