and true affection and prosperty--on
life opening out before these three with
no shadows on the scenes beyond. Reu-

afterward-as young couples always

daughter will be their faithful friends

Reuben's brother-in-law, one Thomas

Just how many cases viii come be-
fore him Is hard to say, as every
day some sheriff or officers land with
bunch Of prisoners who have been
selling whisky to the noble red man.
Some of them are Old offenders and
they get the full extent; some are
new in the business. while others who
are strangers in this land are ignor-
ant Of the law
1t is only during the L. s. Court
term that the Carson jail is flled

Judge Hawley is also liberal with
the home attorney and sees that they
will have a chance to exercise their
OratOrical ability, and law learning.
There is little pay in it for the attorney
but you know they get the practice

THE IRRIGATION LAW.

Commenting upon the presence Of
Senator Newlands in San Francisco,
the Examiner refers to the father of
the Irrigation Lawand his great work
as follows:
Senator Frank G. Newlands Of New
ada is spending a few da"s in San
Francisco looking after his intelu Is
here. He expects to return to Nevada
on Wednesday, and when the Demo
cratic delegation goes to the National
Convention in st. Louis Senator New
lands will join the party as the train
passes through his State
Since the work under the Newlands'
Irrigation Bill has progressed so rap
idly, with promise of such large res
ults in the immediate future. Senator
Newlands has become one Of the for.
most figures in the politics Of the
country. No bill of such Importance
has passed Congress since the big
tariff measures, and the work under
the Newlands act is proceeding so
smoothly and the forethought Of the
measure has given it's author one CT
the high places at Washington.
So popular is the Newlands act in
lis now being made by the Republican
lorators to rob the author of the meas
lure Of any share of the glory or its
iconsumation. In Washington it is told
hat President Roosevelt ordered that
whenever the Republican orators in
the west referred to the Newlands
measure they are to call it the NatiOnll
Irrigation act, fearing least the asso-
citation Of Newlands' name with sucn
beneficient legislation might give the
Nevada Senator too wide popularity
I'm this the Washington politicians
recall the way the Mckinley bill
brought its author into prominence.
:. But the people know the measure by
the name Of the Newlands act. and so
firmly fixed is the designation that
4 even the Republican orators make AM
using plumbers in trying to get away
from it. They will continually say:
Now under the Newlands, bill, aham
,ah, meant the National Irrigation act
rf1 etc.
So Newlands has become so much
mere famous because of the ludicrous
- thunder, and the
efforts to steal Mo
lirrigible west is getting on broad
Ngrin at the humorous attempt to keep
be author of the great measure from
TAPPING the political reward of his
Craftsmanship.

FRa TIE resi- Of ennrnra.

Caesar was selecting his personal
staff, says the New York Times. Men
of undoubted courage were examined
as to their qualifications.
A Roman of unusual physical attain
ments addressed the conqueror of the
Gauls.
May I not have placer" he in
quired.
Your qualifications, soIdier?" de-
manded Caesar
Il have acted voluntarily as judge of
a civic baby beauty contest" he said.
Good" replied Caesar, "but not
enough"
I'm Gaul slew five of mine adverse
ries single handed, and offered my
breast for the repose of an assaulting
columns spears"
Still good" cried Caesar, "but still
not enough!'
The soldier was dismayed.
I'm my tent last night, while gaming
with my comrades, did I lay down
three aces, being convinced from the
nature of the draw they were not good,
although the fever was in my veins to
tap mine adversaries," he ventured as
a last suggestion.
Whereat Caesar embraced him. You
are the bravest man in all my legions!
he declared.
And he constituted him a general of

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Record Herald (Dem)
says; Japan will not purchase any
American canned meats in case she
goes to war with Russia, the an
nouncement being made that the ia
panese army will subsist on rice and
dried fish. This being the case, we
cry out on behalf Of progress and hu-
manity to have the war stopped"
The New York World Dem) says:
1.-THE obvious policy for the Demo-
cratic party would clearly seem to be
to select its candidate and frame it's
platform with view to carrying the
state whose votes have given the vic
tory to the only Democratic candidates
elected since the war-Tilden in 1876
and Cleveland in 1884 and 1892. If
there is sufficient reaction against the
impetuous personality and the hazard
Gus policies of President Roosevelt to
give to a sane and dangerous Demo-
cratic candidate the three or four de-
batable Eastern states, it is reasonably
certain that the remaining votes neces-
sary to elect will be given by one or
more of the great states of the Middle
West"
The Philadelphia Record says:
Many a man whose nose is in painful
pIoAlIllly 10 the BrlnQStOne, ana whose
door is the slender defense against the
wolf, has been convinced in his own
mind that life is worth far more to Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Morgan than it is
to him; but the moralists, the philos-
ophers and the poets have combined to
assure him that 1t is not so. He may
now cite the decision of Judge Ashman
in the case of a disputed doctors bill.
In it there was involved a physicians
right to charge more to one man than
to another for similar service. The
Judge admits that the rhetoricians
from Job to Ingersolr have pretended
that all human life is equally valuable.
No fight of rhetoric, however, he
said, can escape the plain fact that
life has a pecuniary value of variable
quantity, greater, for instance, in the
case of the millionaire than in that of
the laborer.' II can no longer be ques-
toned that life is worth more TO a man
with million a year than to a man
who has good deal of difficulty in
getting two dollars day. and a doctor
Is entitled to more pay for protracting
the existence OF the former"

Brooklyn Eagle. At the time Of Pat
Dumphys great misfortune Danny
was chosen by the section gang to

Wonderful Invention.

"An official of St. Petersburg" said
Jacques Lebaudy, the explorer, during
his recent residence in London, &C
cording to the Transatlantic American,
told me an odd story of mujhik's
first train ride.
''Rhis old man, who had never be-
fore been away from his village, made
up his mind one day to go by rail to
Moscow. Accordingly he bought a
third-class ticket and set off.
1.-THE down express and the up ex-
press met at BOlogne, a station be-
tween St. Petersburg and Moscow, and
the passengers of both trains were al
lowed a half hour for supper. Among
those who alighted from the st. Pet
ersburg train the old peasant found a
friend whom he had not seen for many
years. The two supped and drank a
glass of vodka together, and afterward
in the excitement, the old man board
ed his friends train instead Of his
own.
Talking gayly, he rode the wrong
way a good many miles. Then all of
a sudden he became grave and his
eyes opened wide in wonder and awe.
"Da, Ivan," he said, what Won
derful thing these railways are! Here
we sit in the same carriage, I going
to Moscow and you to St. Peters,
burg"
