High Water.

The Walker river is higher now than
it has beer for number of years past
and enough water is going to waste
to irrigate every acre of land in the
State, let alone Mason valley. Many
of the ranchers here are having a hard
time to keep the water from flooding
their ranches and some have not sue
ceeded in doing so, while a mile or
more of the Wabuska road below the
Pat Gallagher ranch is under water
and almost impossible. 1t is wonder
some people are not sueing to keep
the water off their land.-Lyon County

The force attempted to play some
queer pranks while the fellow who
usually shoyes the pencil was in Reno
trying to raise the morals of that
city. Fortunately, we returned one
day sooner than expected, and the
following philosophic hash on matri-
mony caught our eye:
"The domestic science idea in the
school, will at least be an improve
ment on the old theory, which was to
the effect that man was safe in mar
rynig the girl with the dimpled chin,
and six months with the cook book
would do the rest. We have
seen the girl with the dimpled chin
bake bread on the cook book plan,
and ifyou ate slice of it and went
out to swim you would go to the bot
tom of the creek and up you would
never get while grass grew or water
ram
Now, just what prompted such
scintillating rot is beyond our COM
prehension but we rather suspect
there is something doing, or it is all a
pipe dream.

Nevada's Display.

The following appeared in the San
Francisco Call, and was written by
the Fairs correspondent of that paper.
California's sister State, Nevada, is
making herself known at the fair. She
has already won fame for her hospital
ity and expects to win fame and more
medals with her mineral and agricul-
tural displays At Chicago Nevada
took first prizes for flour and wheat
and also for honey and potatoes. She
took twenty mine first prizes there,
and, us one of her commissioners
modestly put it, she expects to take
them all at St. Louis.
Nevada has Il cosy little building
under the naples just across from the
pretentious Pennsylvania structure,
and from far up the somber counten-
ance of William Penn looks down up
on the World Fair home of this
younger member of the family OF
States, full of the throb of Western
energy and ambition. In the Nevada
building are some relics that are draw
ing many visitors. One is the lash OF
the whip used by Hank Monk on the
evening he landed Horace Greeley
in Placerville after the memorable
ride taken by the famous editor in 3
California stage coach. 1t is owned
by Thomas Heidenrieh of Carson City.
''Borax BILL who as baby was
William Parkinson, is probably the
chef d'ouvre of Nevada's display. He
is becoming known to all the fair Wis
itors. Bill, abaft of twenty mules and
with every ribbon fully at his COM
mand, is going to set all the West
back half a century i'll its efforts to
appear civilized to the effete East
Of gold ore in her display in the
Mines building Nevada shows a Won
derfnl variety-the greatest variety
she claims Even sylvanite, supposed
to exist only in Colorado, is exhibited.
Pieces of ore are shown, a ton of which
would make one rich. The 'Yering-
ton nugget" a chunk of rock lumin-
Gus with ruby silver, weighs 271
pounds and is worth Ss000 Tonopah
is well represented and displays are
on the way from Goldfields and the
Searchlight mine.
But it is in agriculture that Nevada
sees her permanent future and her
cereals, figs, apricots, potatoes, apples,
honey and melons are to be shown in
abundance. She has rich valleys and
they produce unstintedly. Visitors
will be told of the 800, 900 acres OF
arid land, rich as any on earth, that
is to be watered by Government canals

The Heritage of the SIums.

It is only just now that people are be-
ginning to realize that hundreds OF chill.
1ren are born every year who are denied
their birthright; children who are born
criminals, born drunkards, whose birth
eight was stolen from them while they lay
asleep and helpless, when they should have
oeen most secure.
If YOU watch their games you will see
lust how the children have learned to un-
1erstand amusement. One of their favor
tie games is called Fathers and Moth
everyday life. This game, as played by
the children OF the slums, is one of the
saddest that / know.
This doorstep is a saloon, and the other
doorstep a saloon, and the children come
Keeling out, the father from one and the
mother from another. They will have a
desperate fight on the pavement, and then
The mother, pretending to be bruised and
bleeding, viii come back to her home,
which IS the third doorstep, amidst the
,ommiseration of the %neighbors who SIT
watching for her; or else a child will leave
the home doorstep and fetch her mother
! from the saloon, Keeling drunk, amidst
cheers and applause.
The child knows nothing but what 1t mas
/ seen in the slums. To it the world Is
naved with pray, and the sky is shut out
by tall, dark houses, and the law of life is,
nobody cares. And yet they are so brave
and patient. So, -.
These children, whose highest idea OF
| God was that He must be like the landlord
/ Of the public house over the way, live lives
If the most heroic unsel6shness. They
would give their rags off their W backs

THOSE AWFUL BLUES.
The Anatomical Cause of the Feeling and
Its Effect.

The malady now known as The
Blues" but a hundred years ago as
The Spleen has not, so far as we
know, hitherto been examined from its
anatomical standpoint. But in a re.
ZEN medical book this has been done,
and Splarchnic Neurasthenia is the
impressive name conferred upon this
once fashionable trouble.
The root Of the evil, it seems, is a
laXity Of the abdominal muscles. lead
ing to congestion of the thus unsup-
ported abdominal veins. And the con-
sequences Of this again is the mental
state c~uriously associated by its name
with the color blue. But may not the
mental state antedate, instead of fol.
low upon. the physical condition, and
then be maintained and made worse
by the evil muscular laXity which it
caused? We certainly think that to
be the case and appeal for contirma-
ton of our view to the results of treat
ment.
For medicines VIGOROUSLY do nothing
to cure, except when the patient sees
his doctor every day and SO gets q
daily dose of encouragement. And
something more, for there is no doctor
but will say that such patients cost
his vitality more than ten with other
maladieS.
He carries them to health. Foreign
travel or any kind Of wholesome inter-
est in life also cures. In other words,
it is a new mental vitality, whether
stolen (from tic doctor) OF acquired,
which cures.
Muscular gymnastics, etc, also cure,
because to do them the mind has to
rise 10 q beneficial effort CT q positive
will.
In othcr words, "Thc Elues" is 4
malay that no enc need have, nor
should tolerate. It is n affront to the
divine in u. Q severance Of the mind
from that centre CT energy, peace and
Joy. It is the first stage Of death Of

a Jauancse Kite Duel.

Kite flying is I Of the great na-
tional pastimes. and q man keeps it up
az long rs his legs will Hold him.
Very oddly, to the occidental person,
the Japs fight their duels with kites
as weapons. If q man gave the lie 10
another the latter will challenge to a
battle Of kites. Each combatant will
have his weapon adorned with armor-
ial bearings, or his monogram gorge
ously painted on it in bright colors.
The strings are coated with finely pow
Iered glass. or are made Of wiry hemp,
and the battle consists of trying to cut
your opponents string so that his kite,
no longer captive, scars aloft amid the
shouts OF the spectators. And the Jap
is kcenly sensitive to ridicule. This is
about as innocent Il form Of ducl!ing as
the mind can conceive.

Food Value of Alcohol.

to employ it without danger" Later in
his remarks he said: We affirm that alec.
hol is an ailment, but NJ. Duclause afhrms
that il is a good aliment, an excellent ali
ment, while / say it is al evil aliment, !; a
detestabie aliment." His French defend;
ers we're shocked. and finally concluded
that he had been forced to retract ms for,

defended his first conclusion as final, and
then to be told that alcohol was a detestea
aliment destroyed their faith in American

Mime. Tussaud's Centenary.

Among the notable centenary cele-
brations of this month was that of the
establishment in London of Mime. Tus-
saud's WaXwork Exhibition, which
took place on Thursday last. Nine.
Tussaud first exhibited her collection
in the Boulevard du Temple, Paris, in
1855. She brought it to London in
1903, while Napoleon and his legions
were camped over at Boulogne soaring
the British with threats of invasion.
The exhibition opened at the Lyceum
Theatre-not the present one-and af-
terward went to the Hanover Square
Rooms. Her success was immediate.
In 1914 she took her waXworks to Ire
land. The vessel was wrecked and
she and her sons landed in Dublin PEN
niless. Funds were raised for another
collection, and in 1927 it was large
enough to need a catalogue of descrip-
tive matter which filled thirty-eigEt
pages. Nine. Tussaud died in 1850 at
the age of ninety.

wading through a channel more than
knee-deep. After This must come the
death swim, the last desperate strug-

Severne about to grid himself thereto
when q distant sound e voices fell
upon his ear. He paused, looked
sharply to the westward in the direc-

and q crowd of barelegged fisher lads
ytood ready to run the boat up through

Daphne's return. Too stunned to COM

what tragic sight does a heart in an
ruish not expect? Then she stopped

figure that compasses her world run

to meet her; Sir John Severne, the salt
water streaming literally from him as
he walked, close behind.
Aunt Hosie by now, her sunburnt
face bleached to a sickly palor, had

through her breathless, tear-choked ut
