Nevada Town Once Prosperous and

Virginia City, New, has just about
reached the limit of going down HILL
said George w. Sproule, clerk of the
United States Court. "The authorities
have abolished: the street lights, dis
charged the solitary night Waterman
and reduced the fire department to
two men. Listen to this" continued
Mr.. Sproule, as he picked up Nevada
newspaper and read: 1.-The Virginia
Enterprise says that owing to the
shortness of funds In the Storey Coun.
ty treasury the commissioners have
found it necessary to cut off all ex-
penses possible. After the first of
next month there will be no more
street lights. on the old Comstock. The
fire department is to be reduced to two
men and the one policeman now doing
duty at night will be dispensed with.
Poor old Virginia! 1t seems pity
that a place once the liyeliest in the
world should go so completely to the
dogs that there Is nothing left worth
stealing and the few people left there
must either stay at home nights or
carry lanterns.
Il lived In Virginia City nearly 80
years ago" said Mr.. Sproule, land at
that time the town had a population
Of 10000 persons 1t doesn't seem pos
sible that 1t should have reached its
present state of dilapidation. In those
days it was the liyeliest place in the
West. bar none.
There are hundreds of persons now
living in Montana who ONCE lived in

palmy~ days, and to think that now
there isn't even policeman on duty

How a Tramp Sawed Wood.

Harry Sanderson, manager for Tony
Pastor, who lives at Crawford, N. j.,
not feeling particularly well, took a
day off recently and remained at home.
From the window Of his library he OBJ
served a tramp entering his gate, and
he walked down to the rear door to
meet him. 1t was the old story-a re-
quest for a meal. Having a load of
unsawed wood In the shed, he told
the fellow that If he got to work and
performed on the sawbuck for a brief
period he would have something pre-
pared for him.
The tramp went to the shed and i'm
mediately the sound of vigorous saw
Ing was heard, stick after stick part
ing under his energetic efforts. Calling
the tramp into the kitchen, Sanderson
complimented him upon his energy,
and the tramp replied with modest
air that whenever he had anything to
do he generally paid attention to 1t.
The meal was eaten and the tramp
expressed his thanks and departed.
Shortly after Sanderson went out to
the shed and was surprised to find
every stick Of wood intact. Upon In
quiry in the village he ascertained that
he had been entertaining a stranded
ventriloquist, who was working his
way back 10 New York from Easton,
Pa. The mean chap had simply gone
into the shed and given him imitation
of saving wood.-Rochester On. "

Strange Story of the Killing of a FIori.

Strange Story of the killing of a FIori.
da Judge Twenty four. Years Ago.
The following story is told to The
Washington Post by ]. B. Wall; Of
Tampa, Fla, who vouehes for its ac-
curacy: -.-'
I'm 1879, William b. Center was the
county judge of Hernando county,
Fla, of which county Brooksyifle was
and is the county seat. Judge Center
was widower, of about forty. years
of age, who resided a short distance
outside the corporate limits of the
village, with four young children. and
two maiden sisters. who kept house
for him. He was a fairly good officer
but was a dissipated man, inclined to
had made a number of enemies, by
several Of whom his life had been
threatened more than once.
"Brooksville is fifty miles north Of
Tampa, and as this was before the
days of railroads in Southern Florida.
our mail connections were limited to
semi-weekly mail service by hack.
"One Tuesday morning, In the early
spring Of that year, friend brought
into my office copy of the Savannah
Morning News, published the Satur-
day preceding, which in its column Of
Florida news items, contained the fol-
lowing: 49,.
Nv. B. Center, county judge of
fernando county, was shot from his
horse by an unknown assassin and
instantly killed last Saturday morn
ing, about 8 o'clock, while riding to
his office, as was his usual custom,
just where the road from Bay Post
enters the town ON the west
1.-The occurrence made such an i'm
preston on my mind that. after the
lapse of twenty-four years, l am able
to give 1t almost Verbatim.
Judge Center having been. well
known to me, l naturally spent much
time in speculation as to which of his
enemies had probably taken his life
The following Thursday, to my great
surprise, Judge Center walked into my
office, having stopped one day in Tam
pa on his return from a visit to the
Manatee River section. OF course,
hunted up the paper and showed him
the account of his taking off, and we
INDUCED in some speculation as to
the source of the news item, l sug-
costing to him that some enemy of his,
who had determined to kill him, had
taken freak idea of inserting an
account Of it In advance, he taking
the position that some smart Aleck,
who had taste for the sensa tional,
had written it.

Roosevelt may talk all he likes
about the strenuous life" said the
young Choking middle-aged man, who
has always gone in for athletic sports,
but | am rather inclined to the be-
lief that Roosevelt is more or less a
theorist. Take my own case, for ex-
ample l am just exactly the same
age as the president and | dare say
l feel equally as young. for l have
always taken good care of myself.
Without ever hTving acquired great
proficiency In any particular branch

hold my own with ordinary corners,
and the early part of this season when
| was asked to make the ninth man
in baseball game l had no hesitancy
In accepting the invitation. That re-
suited In broken finger on my right
hand that ineapacitated me for sew
eral weeks.
NO more baseball for me- l said
to myself. Tennis is about my size
So | switched to tennis, with the re-
suit that in jumping for a high ball
at the net l came down and sprained
my ankle, which laid me up for an
other week. Then l went down to
the shore. One day in swimming out
at sea / was seized with cramps and
nearly drowned, and next day, while
sailing, I was knocked overheard by
the boom as the sail came about. Then
came home and took council with
myself. Golf is about your size
said to myself, and l started In to
play golf. The other day on the links
l didn't hear a fellow yell Fore! and
the consequence was got crack In
the back of my Uranium that nearly
put me out of business for good. The
doctor said after l came to that If 1t

The middle class is becoming a sal
aried class and rapidly losing the econ
omic and moral independence of for
mer days, says the Independent But
it has not ceased to be made UP of
forgotten men. Every other class In
society receives consideration of some
kind-deferential or sympathetic, as
the case may be- Every other class
enjoys some share of the general
prosperity" when times are good. The
salaried man IS VIGOROUSLY at his
worst estate when everybody else is
making money. If the salaried man
were not unselfish he would pray fer
vently for business disaster and indus
trial depression, for then only has his
income fair measure of purchasing
power. The years since 1897 have
been prosperous" beyond all prece-
dent The trusts, capitalized at over
$4,000 100000, have made untold mill
ions. The wages of labor have been
forced up, after much hard fighting.
20 to 80 per cent. Salaries have re-
manned practically unchanged. Mean
while the general level of prices has
risen 80 per cent Breadstuffs and farm
products generally have risen even
more than this amount Thus, while
the millionaires have doubled or quad
rupled their fortunes. and the wage
earners have obtained in advances a
part of the increase Of living. the sal
aired men, including the professional
classes, are not more than half as well
off as they were seven or eight years
ago. What then Is to be the fate of
the salaried man? This is one of the
most serious questions Of the time.
The salaried class is evidently TO be
large one. 1t Is to include major
ity of those men who hitherto have
controlled American public opinion.
What Is to be the effect of the In
creasng economic disadvantag e of this
important part of the community:
What will happen when the most in
telligent third-and by all odds the
most moral third-of our population
finds that 1t can no longer associate
with third which admits none but
millonaires into society What will
happen when the great middle classes,
facing the increasing cost Of living and
the diminishing rate of interest on say
ings, finds that it can no longer make
a decent provision for old age? Will it
tsmely submit to social inferlority and
settle down to make the best of a low
standard of living?

cabin by severe storm in the Chan

on deck, covered from head to foot and
her hair tucked under a SOU wester.
AS she stood at the rail enjoying the
brisk wind, suddenly she felt ter

CURSE FOLLOWS A FAMILY.
Singular Malediction Fulfilled i'll n
Historic English House.

The Erskine family, the youthful
head of which. the twelfth earl Of
Mar, has just attained his thirty
eighth year, provides one of the
strangest and most terrible curses on
record. By some the curse has been
attributed to Thomas, the Rhymer;
by others to the abbot Of Cambusken-
meth and by many to the bard who
was attached to the house of Mar
just prior to the elevation of the earl
In 1851 to be regent of Scotland 1t
Is most comprehensive curse, but
local tradition claims that it has been
fulfilled in every detail, not only in
the banning, but In the blessing with
which 1t concluded. The proud chief
of Mar" was assured that his work
would be cursed and never finished
and that only when an ash sapling
sprang from the topmost bower of his
ancient tower would the sorrows of
his family be ended and the sun
shine of royalty beam on thee once
more"
livered destroyed Cambuskenneth all
hey and with the stones began to
build a palace at Stirling. 1t was
never finished and is still known local
ly and punningly as "Marr's work"
Other clauses in the curse received
strange fulfillment and the predicted
ash sapling was found on the top
most tower" between the years 1915
and 1920. In 1922, when George "
visited Scotland, he restored the es
tates which had been forfeited for the
family's support of the Stuarts. Fin
ally Queen Victoria accidentally met
the countess IN room at Stirling
castle, spoke with her and kissed her
Oh parting. Thus, In the words of the
curse, the kiss Of peace was given
to her, though she thought 1t not
