GOT THE MONEYS WORTH
Young Wife of Economical Educa-
ton Filled Telegram
to Word.

Mrs. Lane was young and mex
perienced, but certain principles
of economy had been instilled into
her from childhood, relates
Youths Companion. She knew
that since one could send ten
words in a telegram for % cents
and any smaller number cost the
same amount it was an obvious
waste of money to send less than
ten.
She had also been taught by her
eminently practical husband that
in sending a telegram one should
"keepto the matterin hand" and
avoid all confusion of words. On
the occasion of Mr.. Lanes first alb.
sence from home, he sent a tele.
gram from Chicago saying: care
you all right? Answer. Blank
Hotel, Chicago"
Mrs. Lane knew that she must
be wise, economical and speedy,
for Mr.. Lane was making afiying
trip, and told her he could not
plan on his whereabouts long
enough ahead to have letter
sent. She spent few moments in
agitated thought, and then proud
ly wrote the following message:
"Yes. Yes. Yes. ] am very
well, indeed, thank you

JACK AND THE CHICKENS.
Dog Had Bad Habit Of Killing Them,
But Reformed and Became
Foster Father.

Jack was q beautiful Irish set
ter that was devoted to his little
mistress, Mary. He had one very
bad habit: He would kill chick
ems. The ranchmen all around
threatened to shoot Jack if they
caught him, and Mary was much
distressed, relates the Chicago
Record Herald.
one rainy day in the early
spring a farm hand brought into
the house a number Of dear little
chickens, just out of the she'll, and
placed them on the hearth before
the fire. The tiny, fluffy waits were
chilled through and through and
their little legs were icy cold.
Mary, like the good little house
wife she was, suddenly conceived
the hr;ii::::: :; Il |: idea eau OF filing Das
ket with raw cotton, so as to make
the small s sttii,s;iiig gers d Iiice, roIl-
Portable bed, and, without thought
of leaving them alone, started
briskly upstairs to the garrett, and
soon returned with a hamper pad
ded with warm, white cotton.
Imagine her horror, however,
when, upon entering the room, she
discovered Jack lying l l;a;zsiiy III
front of the fire and not chicken
in sight.
The little girl was sick with
fright, for she knew they had been
Matched from very expensive eggs
of particular breed and that her
father would scold her for her
carelessness.
Jack" she cried, severely,
"what have you done with those
chickens?v
Jack merely wagged his tail and
looked at her with one ear cooked.
Mary slowly approached the cul-
prit, with a deep frown on her
face and continued:
"If you have eaten those chick
ems, your master will have to
shoot you"
At this terrible threat the dog
only wagged his tail all the harder
and cooked both ears. just then
came faint peep! peepw from
somewhere near the fire, and the
dog looked knowing
And where doyou suppose those
baby chickens were hiding? Be
tween the settlers two greatfore-
paws, and all up under his soft,
silky hair. When his mistress had
left the room, Jack evidently
thought they needed care and con-
sidered it his duty to play nurse
during her absence, so he
stretched himself in front of the
fire and gathered the wee, fluffy
balls together under his warm fur,
and now and again a tiny yellow
head was thrust forth for a min
ute, to be withdrawn and tucked
out of sight. Mary concluded that
the basket was not needed just
then, and put il aside.

Would Revise Civil Code.

Samuel Plat of Carson, member 1t
the next general assembly has sent
out word to various attorneys that he
will propose a bill in the house at
the next session to revise the civil
practice code of Nevada.
The announcement has aroused
much interest on the part of the bar,
which is divided. many supporting a
revision while many are of the opin-
ion that the present code is satisfac-
tory to most Of the attorneys AMI
sufficient for all occasions.
The code now in use was adopted
many years ago and is objected to by
Mr. Platt for the reason that it IS
Anticipated and not suited TO advanced
practitioners The new act Will
probably provoke a fight in the as

JUDGE FiTzGERALD's BOOK.
II Receives High Enforcement From
Nebraska.

The Nebraska Independent in
recent issue devotes three Columns
to a discussion Of Judge" Fitzgerald's
book on silver. ~
Among other things it says:
In the form Of an allegory, giving
the history of the two cities of Mi
cropolis and Megalopolis. the Judge
makes the process by which the fnan
cial operators gather the weslth OF
the world to themselves while the
millions toll on year after year. so
plain that the wayfaring, man though
he never read a chapter OF political
economy in his life, cannot fail to
understand it. 1t. graphically pictures
the conditions that we are fast reach
ing and which VanVorhis and ether
correspondents have been calling at
tention to in the columns Of the hide
pendent 1t is also the subject Of Mr..
Griffin's book on Hocus Pocus money,
although these writer's approach N
subject in an entirely different way
from Judge Fitzgerald r..
The latter part of the book is te-
voted to a legal argument, and Tie
Independent must say that is the best
that ever came under its notice On
that side of the question. Judge Fit
gerald takes the ground that under
the constitution, Congress can NO
make anything except gold and silvG
coin legal tender. He does no
make the ridiculous assertions tina
most lawyers have made in supper,
ing that proposition. He acknow
lodges the full force of the quanti
tative theory of money. he says tina
all money is fiat money, but if any
thing besides silver and gold coli
is made legal tender. the cOnstitr
ton must first be changed.

then took from him a large envelope
full of papers, the envelopes bearing
the seal of the United States govern
ment.
Schneider says he surrendered be-
cause he was entirely without funds

there. The authorities of the work
house deny this statement. They say
Schneider has not been an inmate of

The Birmingham police last night
said they are convinced that Mr.. Loo |
