JAPANESE WAR PHOTOGRAPHS
Never before were the photograph
ers so busy: it is said that they nave
rot been able to fulfill half of the de
mandS made upon them. The hun
dreds of thousands of men sent to the
war wished to leave photographs with
their families, and also to take with
them portraits of parents, children
and other beloved persons. The ma.
ton was being photographed during
the past six months. -.
During the last twenty years there
has gradually come into existence the
custom of placing the photograph of a
dead parent, brother, husband. or
child. beside the mortuary tablet kept
in the Buddhist household shrine
For this reason, also, the departing
soldier wishes to leave at home a
good likeness of himself-Lafcadio

a fashionable woman found herself
recently. She was invited to a swell
wedding, but did not think either of
her spring hats was good enough for
the occasion. So she visited her mil
liners and had an exceedingly costly
affair sent home on trial. She wore
1t at the wedding and the next day
drove to the milliner's and returned
it, saying it did not suit. It happened
that the hatmaker, who quite under
stood the situation, had been similarly
tried several times of late. did you
not wear this hat at the Blank we'd

Taken by surprise, the society woman
owned up, but asked: How did you

On to Success.

Last Saturday night was ahe most
momentous one in the histo ~ eff the
class of '05 of the Gardnervil liz High
School, for it was the night o grad
uation. The commencement e. ,er-
cises were held in Valhalla hall a nd a
large throng of the friends of til e
graduates honored the members of tn,
class with their presence.
The farewell speech by Prof Waits
was touching feature of the evenings |
exercises, and the solemnity of the
moment affected not only the students
and the principal, but the audience as
well. To Prof Waits the occasion
meant but one thing, and that one
thing was separation. There was
double significance in the farewell for
Prof. Waits. 1t meant not only fare
well to the Junior class, but the entire
school. He was so deeply affected by
the thought of separation that he
could hardly speak, and more than
one of his students had to wipe tears
from their eyes. But the pain of
parting was the only blight on the
enjoyment of the evening. The class
had chosen for its motto "On To Sue
cess' and if the class will follow the
paths in which they have started,
their hopes will surely be realized
Ghas Williams, Josephine Hellwink-
ell, Emma Henningsen, Sam Harris,
I.ora Henningsen, Freda Lampe and
Stena Jensen read theses. Each and
all deserve more than passing men
tion but 1T would require too much
space to dwell on their subjects separ-
ately. The addresses showed great
thought and careful preparation on
the part of the speakers and the de-
livery was excellent.
Hon. d. w. Virgin presented the
diplomas and made an address in his
best and most pleasing style.
The class of '05 should feel proud of
it's past history, and may good fortune
be with you till you meet again.

The Better Spirit.


The young men, and especially the
Gardnerville Wheeimen, are to be
complimented on the spirit they dis
played during the race last Sunday.
They acted as true sportsmen during
and after the race. 1t is true that
they simply did their duty, but it was
in marked contrast to the treatment
they have received at the hands of the
Carsonites. Two weeks ago in Carson
the visiting team was subjected to all
kinds of vulgar taunts, and young
ladies were compelled to listen to re-
marks that were anything but gentle
manly. We believe that in the future
the Carson Wheelmen will at least
show visiting teams that they can act
the part of gentlemen.

A Parents Views.

Editor REcoRD-CoURIER. There is
considerable talk in Gardnerville Just
at present concerning school matters.
There are ordinations and recrimina-
tions concerning the way the school
department has been handled, and the
sensation lover has the rich speck to
point to as the cause of all our imagin-
airy educational woes. The school
department is the one department
of all that should be run on smooth
and harmonious lines to preserve
its usefulness. Personal feelings and
the undetermined work of spiteful
citizens are rapidly undermining the
effectivness of the system. Hot
weather and hot air, brought into con-
tact with punny intellects and utter
lack of principal, have fermented a
feeling which is apt. to deprive Gard
nerville of the best corps of teachers
it has ever had.
Looking at it in the cool light of
reason, it appears to me that the
school will be taking backward step
if it is not presided over next year by
the man who has raised it to its pre-
sent high standard, instead of some
fresh graduate, whose experience
is summed up by the word zero.
After listening to the parting words
of the late principal last Saturday
night, am more. convinced than ever
that he is the proper man for the
place.

A Boys Curiosity

Y F. an old story be true the curiosity
Of a little boy led to the invention
OF the telescope, that remarkable
glass which reveals the wonders Of
the heavens TO our eyes / suppose we
all know that Calico first constructed
and used telescope for scientific pur-
poses, but some one else first conceived
the idea OF one. Now, here is a story
which j have heard and which think
interesting enough to tell you.
Many years ago there lived in far
away Holland an optician. He had
three children, all of whom loved to
play about and watch him as he sat
at his bench working. His little boy
especially thought it great fun to look
through the glasses his father used In
his work Many VI them had such odd
shapes and often as he held them up
TO the sun he could make lovely rain
bows on the floor and walls. II CHANGED
one memorable day that he had taken
tive glasses and. standing In the street
just outside the shop. he held both to
his eyes at the same time All at once
II seemed that the face OF the. great
clock, which he knew to be several
blocks away, was right before him For
a moment he was frightened How had
the clock come SO near, he wondered7
He winked his eye very hard and look
ed at II without the glasses There it
was IN its ususl' place. 90 far away

being bright boy, he sat down on the
step to think it out. He tried first one
glass and then the other. Still the
clock was far away. Then he turned
the glasses In al directions with no
better success, but quite suddenly. as
he was holding both In one hand, he

derful, and 80 he set to work to make
an instrument which would make dis
tant objects seem near. To do 1t he
had to use two glasses, one concave
and the other convex. When the great
Calico heard Of 1t he said:
How happy / could be II might

saw the clock right before him again.
"Ohl know! know!" he cried, JOY

OF course, his father went out In q
great hurry, not knowing what the
trouble might be. When he did md

have an instrument strong enough to
make the stars seem near" and after
much labor he succeeded. So you see
what a great and important discovery
the action of this small boy led to. for
without the telescope we would have
learned very little about the stars or
the sun or the moon.
