COMMENTS ON MEN AND
MATTERS OF THE WORLD

IN oW that we have perfected the
III coreless apple, one is reminded
of that incident related by Mark
Twain. in the immortal TON Sawyer"
1t will be recalled that Tom was white
washing a fence for Aunt Polly, very
much against his personal inelinations,
when a ehnm hove in view behind a
juicy apple. The more Tom thought the
more his mouth watered for the fruit.
and, finally, by the use of a diplomacy
possible only to genius, Tom not only
got the apple but induced his friend to
whitewash the fence while he ate. There
are many inimitable passages in the
book but none that is more refreshing
than this account of youthful eajolery
If you are getting old and 'grouehy;'
if the world does not wag to suit you
and you wax pessimistic, don't waste
your time looking for an elixir of youth
but dip again into the greatest story
of a boy that was ever written.
At last it has come. For these many
days we have anticipated the doleful an
nouncement and now tn 1t falls upon
our ears with dull, sickening thud"
we are not surprised. The first victim
In his particular elass-of the Equitable
squabble now occupies a padded cell.

they took him away to the foolish house.
1t Is sad, very sad, indeed! The unfor-
tunate gentleman lost his bearings short
ly after receiving a long letter from
Jimmy Hyde, which is significant to
say the least. Now that he is crazy the
Detroit man thinks he can settle the

A very astnte individual has arrived at
the conclusion that Andrew Carnegie is
responsible for the flood of worthless
DOCKS published. He says that the great
number of Carnegie libraries established
in the country have created a demand
for volums that are needed as "fillers,"
regardless of their literary merit. He
evidently thinks that there are not enough
good books in the world to satisfy this
demand and SO hack writer's grind out"
new novels by the ton. Moreover, the
average library reader does not care
about the quality of stuff he reads. so
long as 1t has the thrills" This argu-
ment sounds logical but great many
volumns of sense and substance have
been written since men first began to ex-
press their thoughts by letters and the
chances are that enough good books could
pe found to fill the largest library now
in the United States. The man intervfed
ON this subject seems to have drawn his
deductions of library readers from the
very lightest element that frequent such
places.

HIS HEART STILL STRONG.

Nearly everybody in the Goldfeld
district, and particularly the old-timers
are showing heartfelt sympathy for
Messrs. Coburn & Jarvis, who lost their
all in the Columbia fire. The boys are
great hustlers and in a short time and
starting on small capital they worked
mp the largest merchandise business IL
Columbia, and were fairly on the road
to a fortune when this i'll luck occurrea.
Mr.. Jarvis, particularly, has had hard
luck for several years but he refuses
to get discouraged, and with the stand
ing he has with all who know him
there is no doubt that he vii conquer
fate and win the fortune in Goldfeld
that he is justly entitled to. The firm
will resume business shortly and it is
hoped that their friends will prevail
upon them to locate their new store
in GOldfeld, which is so much better
field for them.

WORRIED ABOUT NEVILLE.
Wife and Friends Fear He Has Been
Lost in Death Valley.

The relations and friends of John b,
Neville, a prospector and miner, are
worried about him.
Together with w. III. Hurley and
Frank Dorothy, Mr.. Neville went south
into the Funeral range on June 18th.
Since that time not a word, directly or
indirectly, has been heard from the
party, although Mr.. Neville upon leav-
ing Bullfrog promised his friend, DIR.
Williamson, that he would either write
or be back within a week or ten days.
Taken in connection with the reported
finding of dead men and burros in
Death Valley the continued absence of
Neville is most alarming to Mrs. Ne
vile, who lives on Ogden street, Den
yer, and to friends of the ~prospector
in Bullfrog.

Osborn returned from Funeral range
where he had been with a prospecting
party, and said that he had been lost
