been the case in the opening of

Tough on the Newspaper.

Last Saturday evening there
was an entertainment given in
Gardnerville for the benefit of
DIR. Southworth and the boys,
who had lost their newspaper
plant and household belongings
a few days before. AS a conse-
quence of the fire and the gen.
eral popularity of the ''freckled
boys" the hall was well filled
and something like 500 was in
the till. Daring the evening, and
when everything seemed to be
coming in the right direction for
the newspaper man. someone
rose from his seat and stated
that he wished to offer a motion.
The offer was accepted.
II move that the proceeds OF
this evenings entertainment be
donated the church. Do | hear
a second ?"
Someone in the rear offered q
second and before the naturally
bashful professional services OF
the paper man could be rounded
up the church had g6bbled the
proceed.
1t is no trouble for the news
paper man to withstand storm,
a family ruction or ever a fire,
but when it comes to the church
he is entirely in the background.
