She was thin and weak and

twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is

The golden hours OF day,

That gladden. life's rough way.
When tempestuous clouds o'ercast
With gloom the smiling SKIES.
Kind Father, take my hand in thine,
And l will close mine eyes.
But should the sun of happiness
Again burst forth In power,
Ill lift my grateful heart to thee
And mark each radiant hour.
Then as my life's last even-tide
Melts into twilight gray,
Hold thou once more my pulseIess
hand
Until the dawn of day.

r. L. Fulton, Of Reno, read an
interesting paper before the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress, at FL
Paso, Texas, upon "The Advant-
ages of Nevada for the Small
Farmer" which was in part as fol-
lows:
mo other State in the Union
has been so misunderstood or SO
misrepresented as has Nevada.
She took up the burden of State
hood unwillingly at the earnest
solicitation of Abraham Lincoln,
who found his influence weak
with the Senate during the last
days Of the civil war; and for a
generation she was supposed to be
little more than an ash heap with
a few streaks of silver through it.
Later on the word went out that
her mines were exhausted, and
many intelligent people were led
to paraphrase the scriptures and
ask: Can any good come out of
Nevada?'
However, no thoughtful citizen
of the Republic looks with indif-
ference upon anything that may
affect the fortunes of my State,
Our country is bound together so
strongly, and its higher interests
are so closely interviewer that
none can suffer decay without
sooner or later affecting all the
others. The different sections of
the Union SO happily complement
each other in their natural re-
sources that the greater activity in

| the 1noSl tempting Inducements
led men to forego the more excit-
ing pursuit Of prospecting for that
of tilling The soil. 1t was soon
found that lands which had been
considered worthless deserts would
produce in astonishing abundance,
all that was necessary being water
for the land. The many valuable
premiums taken at all the worlds
great expositions, from the Cen
tennial to St. Louis, furnish con-
vincing proof of her capacity and
quality.
Considerable attention has been
paid to stock raising, dating from
quite an early day, and it may
certainly be said that she has as
good horses as any State in the
Union. More than one world
beater has been turned out from
her stock farms and her thorough
bred cattle have received many
gold medals. The finest kind of
beef comes off her ranges and her
mutton is second to none. Neva-
da and Ohio wool are the only
quality that can be said to COM
pare with that from Australia, and
all the inter-mountain States come
to Nevada for blooded bucks, for
Hereford and Durham bulls and
blooded horses.
No country in the world yields
to an intense cultivation as does
one of a volcanic soil under irri-
CATION. Her climate is perfectly
adapted to all the cereals and the
finest of hardy fruits. The truth
is that Nevada should be the seed
farm of the nation. Her wheat is
perfect, yielding an abundance,
with a full, rich kernel and clean,
golden straw, free from smut and
rust.
Nevada beets yield as high as
% per cent. of sugar, her celery
| grows large. white and crisp, and
breaks like ice III the hands. Her
potatoes are unexcelled and her
turnips and other vegetables have
the delightful mountain flavor.
Such are some of the advanta-
ges the Nevada seed grower would
have over his neighbors. She
could raise onion seeds by the ton
of all the best varieties, and she
already furnishes quantities of al
falfa seed to the trade. There is
a sufficient variety of soil, loca-
ton and altitude to make it easy
to perfect any kind of seed in
abundance, and seeds bear ship
ment to any corner of the world,
and no price is too high for the
best.
The very fact that Nevada was
selected for the first irrigation sys-
tenn under the act of June II,
1902, is sufficient proof of the ca
pacity of her soil, the abundance
and durability of her resources.
Mr.. Taylor, the engineer in charge
estimates that a million acres can
be added to her present area of
cultivated land, and the remaining
millions of acres are rich in mines,
in forage grasses, and in salt, bo-
rax and nitre beds. Under the
wise craftsmanship of a benign
government, the idle men and the
idle money of the country will be
used to carry the idle water to the
idle land, and it is easy to see that
Nevada will receive a larger, a
speedier and a more direct bene-
fit than any other State or Terri
| tory"

GREAT ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.

any one part, the greater pros
perity in all.
1t is one of the blessed things
about our beloved land that III
every corner it has raw materials
which can be developed without
competition with that of any other
part, and if this congress serves
no other purpose than to make
the West better known to the East
and South, make better friends of
more distant neighbors, break
down sectional prejudices, if any
remain, it will we'll serve its day.
The fact is that nothing neces-
sary to the upbuilding of great
State was omitted when Nevada
was created. The raw materials
were abundantly bestowed, and
only the lack of human endeavor
has prevented her from taking a
high place among her sisters. The
worst that can be said is that she
lacks population, and it must be
apparent that if that is fault it
is chargable not to those who are
here but to those who fail to come.
Perhaps the greatest drawback to
Nevada's advancement is the fact
that she is constantly compared
with California, which is incom-
parable, instead of with her neigh
bors to tn East.
In her early years agriculture
was merely an incident. The
wonderful richness of her mines
brought her forward as pre-emi-
nently a mining State, and only

Death Rate Is Increasing.

Many years ago the statisticians of the pension office made careful cal culations to show the number of sur vivors of the civil war for series of years. They used as the basis of their calculations the mortality tables of the insurance companies, but were far out of the way. The old soldiers are dying off more rapidly than was ex- pected. According to the estimate, the total number of survivors in 1902 should have been 930,380, while the pension rolls showed only 725, 100. To the latter number should be added two or three per cent. to cover those who have never applied for pensions.

 That happened one night in Septem- Der, 1856. Baldwin owned several acres of fine land on the crest of what is now known as Mob hill in San Francisco. This property even at that time, on ac- count of its obvious future value for high-grade residence purposes, was worth easily $200,000.
 From Vanbrugh, the proprietor of the El Dorado. a big San Francisco gamb- ling club, owned faro banks all the length of the slope as far as it was then settled, in addition to possessing big gambling club in the City of Mexico, and he was a millionaire several times over. Van tbrugh wanted Lucky Baldwin's parcel of Mob hill ground, but Baldwin wouldn't even talk about selling 1t. Vanbrugh owned a whole block on Lower Market street, on which Baldwin wanted to build. It was worth about the same amount as Baldwin's Mob hill ground. Vanbrugh had offered to trade tEe Mar dket street block for the piece of Mob hill land, but Baldwin wouldn't listen to him.

sAsHEs FOR SUMMER GOWNS
Soft, Changeable Ribbons of Louisine and Taffeta Are Now
 Being Worn.

There is no such thing as a conven- tionally tied sash these days. Each girl strives to outdo every other girl in the original way that she ties her sash. Per- haps one reason that the sash has be- come such an essential part of the sum- mer frock this year is that the new rib bons are so temptingly lovely that they appeal to every girl who sees them. The soft, changeable louisine ribbons are charming to use for the new high gir- dies, many of which are finished at the back with long sash-ends. The taffeta ribbons with a messaline finish also make up into fetching sashes, says Wom- ans Home Companion.
 Sashes are being used right now as a trimming for gown, but of course the sash which acts as a trimming must be arranged in some original way. An effective sash-trimming for the back of a gown crosses the bodice like suspen- ders. each ribbon starting from bow on the shoulder and coming together at the direct center back, where they are joined by rosette From the rosette are two very long ends, which are knot ted twice. At the waist-line the ribbon is formed in a3belt.

RICHES IN COTTON STALKS.
Are Useful in the Production of Pa per, Sugar and Other Com
 modities.

A new source of wealth for residents of the southern states has been discov- cred. Some months ago M. w Mars den, of Philadelphia, and Joseph Vile, of Kentucky, had lot of cotton stalks shipped to Philadelphia to have them analysed, to find if there was something valuable in them. They returned to Con gales, Tex, recently, with samples of what was found in them, and exhibit ed them to meeting of citizens.
 The stalks were found to contain from two to four dollars worth of sugar to the ton, to make fine samples ofpaper, superior to wood pulp. two pieces of ma terial resembling celluloid, smokeless powder composition, alcohol, and val uable fertilizer.
 MT. Marsden thought that an acre of average stalks would amount to about three tons, and that in the south TO- 000,000 tons of stalks were going to waste that were capable of producing that many hundred million dollars.
 These gentlemen show their faith in their investigations by offering to erect a plant at Gonzales for the con- version of the stalks into the various ar ticles shown at a cost of $75 ,000, with a possible increase of $250 900, if the citi- zens would take $25,000 preferred stock. There is no such plant or industry yet in operation.

UMBRELLAS OLD AS MAN.
Though Rain Shields Are 10000 Years Old, Improvements
 Are Still Necessary.

 s'It is of oriental origin. The Eng fish didn't begin to use 1t until 1700 Shakespeare, with all his genius, had no umbrella to protect him from the rain. Jonas Hanway was the first English umbrella maker"
 The f1oorwalker paused to brush a white thread from his long black coat. Then he resumed:
 Now, what you might do would be to patent some new sort of umbrella some rain shield built on better lines. We have proof that the um- brella existed for 10000 years, and yet in all that time it has not once been improved. Consider 1t. It is by no means perfect. It turns inside out readily, and 1t only protects the head and shoulders from the rain. Change all that. Give us an umbrella that is a complete rain shield. Then you will become millionaire"

LITTLE MAIDS AS EDITORS.
Three Girls of New Jersey Town Is- sue Bi-Weekly Paper Proceeds
 Devoted to Charity.

There are three little girls living in a small New Jersey town who were very anxious to make some money for charity Fairs were too commonplace, and they were bound not to beg, so what do you suppose they did? They edited small bi- weekly paper and sold it for two cents a copy! This paper is called the Bird Times, and is very, very cunning and amusing. It is written on one side of a piece of foolscap, and contains all the very latest news from Bird Land, including little jingles and conun- drums, every one of which is entire ly original One of the editors is an artist, so in every edition there are several little drawings, Illustrating different events in Bird Land, which greatly improves the Times appear ance.
 At present there are about 30 sub scrfbers, which brings them in 50 cents every two weeks, which, of course, amounts to S1.20 month.
 A dollar and twenty cents isn't very large sum, but when several months earnings are put together and saved, it amounts to good deal and these little girls are able to help many peo- pie to whom a dollar may mean bread enough z several hungry little ones.
