Reflections.

tn other night while lying half asleep
I thought l heard the boy that owned
me say.
II hate to take old Tatters out because
saw the dog team go by here today"
And then ! fell asleep again and dreamed
or awful things that n dog could
know.
And when next day I saw q throng Of
boys
About a team and heard a lot Of noise
1 rushed away as hard as I could 60.
I know the fellows chased me. and I ran
And doubled back and forth TIL, al
worn out,
I went down on the pier to rest,
When pretty soon I heard an awful
shout
And looked around to see a baby's shoe
Go floating by the spot where I was
placed,
And then barked and. jumping up could
From plunging In When I came up again
I held her by some fluffy thing around
her waist.
So that's the reason why I do not fear
The dog team now; my license you can
Upon my collar plate. and amt 1t queer
That everybody thinks SO much of me,
For I am staying at that big house on the
hill.
And all I have to do Is just to curl
Myself up on a rug or romp and play,
While when folks come I hear a lady say,
h Is the dog that saved my little
girl"
Yet how I miss the boys and all the fun
We used TO have up in that alley dim!
And yesterday when we were out to drive
saw them going down the dock to nave
a swim.
The driver held me so I could not go,
Yet while l barked at them in glad eur
prise,
They shouted. Jimmy, look at Tatters,"
and he knew
That l still loved him. As they passed
from view
/ saw him draw his sleeve across his
eyes.

JAPANESE ARMY RATIONS.
The Wonderful "Mamibushi" That
Sustains the Little Brown Men.

az 1ANAs
General Weston, Chief of Subsistence
of the American Army. has solved what
be believes to be the great secret of the
wonderful mobility Of the Japanese
army. 1t lies in the field ration, a sam
pie of which he has received from Major
w. B. Barker of Nagasaki, one Of the
American officers who are watching the
war. The ration shows that the Japanese
soldier can live and fight tor a month
on a food supply that weighs less than
the daily ration Of the American soldier
in the field.
The fish received by General Weston
is about z inches long and ~ inches
thick in the middle. and is dried until it
resembles petriied wood. 1t weighs
only 10 ounces, but Major Parker says
it will sustain a Japanese soldier for
seven days.
When soldiers are on the march they
eat the fish just as it is. biting of small
pieces, which are thoroughly masti-
Gated, but when they are in camp the
fish is shaved off in small slices and
cooked with rice. The fish resembles a
mackerel, but its Japanese name is
''mamibushi."
The fish is about two feet long and
thick and solid before preparation for
the army ration. In preparing it for
army use it is cut in two and steamed
and dried alternately until it is reduced
to about one. eighth of its original size,
with q corresponding reduction in
weight.
Each Japanese soldier can carry
enough fish and rice to last him three
or four weeks and a whole army can be
made absolutely independent of the
commissary trains that are indispen-
sable III other armies. If the Russian
soldiers could live ON as little as the
Japanese require the Siberian Railroad
would have little to do but haul troops
for one train load of dried fish and rice
would sustain General Kuropatkin's
army for weeks.
Dried fish is used only as a field ra-
ton. The regular daily ration in the
Japanese army consists of one and a
half pounds of rice and half a pound of
canned meats. The daily ration in the
United States army weighs about -four
pounds and the emergency ration is not
a great deal lighter.

When the pale stars die;

From my tent I wander.

Comes for stream and tree.

Lo. the dawn is breaking!
Rosy beams the sky;
Lift thine eyes. my maiden,
Hear thy lovers cry.
Lonely is our valley,

L0CL NOAC ~ t8C C1GAa
Let there be an open fight for the
place in which any citizen may enter,
and let each person desiring to enter
the race 20 before his State Convention
and announce his candidacy and have
his name regularly placed at the foot of
the ticket, so that the people of the
State can have something to say in the
matter.
The Republican who received the
highest number of votes might fairly
be considered the choice of his party. if
his party won; and the Fusionist who
received the highest number Of votes
would naturally expect to be regarded
as the choice of his party, in case of
party success.
1t would be very hard for any men,
Der of the Legislature to ignore the
wishes of the people at the polls, thus
definitely expressed ; and to avoid COM
plications and trouble at the Legislative
session, the various aspirants might
sign an agreement by which those who
did not receive the highest vote would
withdraw from further contest.
During the general campaign each
man could make the sort of anvas he
choose and spend whatever money he
pleased for legitimate campaign ex-
penses. This would result in a lively
and aggressive campaign, and the COM
bined strength of the various candidates
would be solidly behind the regular
tickets on both sides.-Carson Appeal.
Niron,s Yisit to East Reno.
George s. Nixon of Winnemucca,
Tonopah, Carson and the Curnow Tract
visited Sparks last Sunday. It was
purely a visit to Sparks and not to the
people of the town. for it is not of rec.
ord that the Hon. George spoke to a
single man here during his brief visit.
The leaders of the Republican party in
this bailiwick-and every Republican
here Is a leader-are very sore ON Nixon
for his failure to stop and consult them
on the political outlook. They say he
acted like a man who was afraid of get
ting his leg pulled. and from his hunted
and worried look it was evident that he
hal been having q seance with the Re-
publican leaders of Reno, who are the
toughest game in the West. We would
advice the Republicans not to get down
hearted. When the campaign opens and
Nixon's Senatorial boom is fairly
launched he will be down to Sparks and
circulate among the voters. even if the
Reno pollies do not leave him enough
money to buy beer with.-Harriman
Herald.

NEVADA POLITICAL TOPICS.

According 20 Major Hafaker Of Virginia.
There has been considerable specula-
tiou regarding the article published in
the Sam Francisco Examiner relative to
the agreement between Nixon and
Sharon concerning their Senatorial fight.
Major Huffaker of Virginia City say
that after the meeting of the W men
mt the Palace Hotel he saw Nixon, and
he gave him the following account OF
the interview that took place:
Eyes, / met Billy Sharon a few min
utes ago and I told him that / was a
bona ide candidate for the United
States Senate, and / says to him: Billy.
/ will tell you exactly the kind of a
fight I propose to make, and l want to
know what kind of a fight you propose
to make. 1 figure that q man can make
q clean legitimate fight aud violate no
law on sIo,0 900 as his campaign expenses.
Now, 1 consider that when a man goes
beyond that he must violate some law,
and I don't propose that any man shall
violate any law of the commonwealth
fighting me when / am keeping inside
the law, and any man who attempts 1t
will find that l am to be reckoned with
later. Then Sharon says to me:
"'George, we have been old friends
and / can't say just whether l am a
candidate or not. If the St. Louis CON-
vention dominates q gold-bug, there
will be very little difference between us
politically. Some people object to me
because my people live in California,
and that may effect my aspirations. !
am still a Silverman, and if my party
see fit to endorse me as their candidate
at the State Convention ! will make the
run and will moi violate any law in
making my fight.'"-Carson News.
Open Fight for U. s. Senator Suggested.
1t is somewhat refreshing to learn
that there is a chance this Fall to have
the citizens of Nevada choose a United
States Senator who will not have to pay
his way into the Senate Chamber at
Washington.
So far George Nixon, a Republican,
and William Sharon, a Silvsrman. are
regarded as the leading candidates
for their respective parties. They have
met in San Francisco and agreed to
make a friendly contest for the place
without resorting to corrupt influences.
Neither Of these gentlemen is rich in
the worlds goods, as wealth now goes,
and each is worth, say about $50, 200. 1t
would be folly for men of such limited
means to invest their all in the purchase
of a seat in the Senate. In deciding to
leave it to the voters without the COR
rupting use of money, they have acted
wisely, and either man who is elected
a say that he is the choice of the
people of the State on merits alone.
The Appeal, recognizing the fact that
neither side has any aspirant who pro-
poses to spend money for the place, sug.
gests that the people be allowed to ex.
press their choice of candidates by di.

"NANMY" PLEASANT, A PART HAWAIIAN,
Who HAS BEEN A WOMAN Of
MYSTERY AND POWER

NANNY PIeasaEz, the weird and
mysterious colOred woman who has
been a noted character in San Francis
co since 1S49,, and welded a strange in
fuence over the career and destinies of
some Of it's best known citizens almost
down to the present hour, is dead. She
passed away January II at the home of
= NJ. Sherwood, 1851 Hilbert street,
where she had been living since No
vember 10th last, and her remains will
ne inferred in the Sherwood burial lot
at Napa on Wednesday.
Even in the final days and death of
this remarkable woman is found the
dramatic element which for more than
half a century was so strongly a part
of her life and surroundings. Born
nearly ninety years ago, old age was
obviously a leading cause of her death,
but those who have been nearest her
bedside in the last few weeks declare
that grief over the ingratitude of those
she felt were her chief debtors greatly
FASTENED her end, and that the pri-
mary cause of her death was, a broken
heart. In. her long career Nanny
| Pleasant has handled many fortunes;
has held property In her name, and
! claimed others valued at hundreds Of
| thousands, but her affairs became So
involved a few years ago that she
was declared a bankrupt Yet she stiU
held interests in certain suits involve
ing not less than $3.50, 900. and in the
final settlement of her estate a very
considerable amount promises to he
left for her heirs.
To those of the present day and
generation Nanny Pleasant's name
is more particularly kaRwn in conpec-
ton with the Bell estate and with. the
claims of Sarah Anthem li,n against
Senator Sharon, but her clal1a. 10
