Yesterday a crew of track layers left
this city for the Reno end Of the v.
& T. R. R. The purpose Of the crew
Is to lay heavier steel over the line
Of the road from Reno to this city and
probably to the Mound House.
Ten cars of 20 pound rail has been
received and distributed, which car
ries the line about three miles out Of
Reno. 1t is presumed that more rails
are in sight and crew will be kept on
the move. remodeling the track until
this city ia reached.
The rails that are being taken I'D will
be used on the Valley road from this
city to Gardnervil1e, and this is prac
tically straight piece of road, it
will be heavy enough for any sort oi
transportation.
The V. & T. is known the Coast

it will be in a position to handle any
kind of traffic that comes this way
During the past few days number
of the ninety ton engines for the Tono
pah road passed over the line. 1t wa;
feared at the time that the extra
heavy engines might break rails on the
heavy curves, but no such accident
happened and the heavy machines
were lien over the road without &C

the ne steel it will be possible t,

He Couldn't Help Being Good.

A we'll known preacher recently
spoke at religious service in a jail.
He noticed that one of the convicts
seemed extraordinarily impressed. AT
ter the service he sought him out and
continued the good work by remarking:
"My dear sir, hope you will profit
by my remarks just now and become
a new man."
Indeed, l will" was the reply. "In
fact, | promise you that l will never
commit another crime. but will lead
an exemplary life to my dying day"
Good" said the dominic, "but are
you sure that you will be able to keep
the promise?"
"Oh, yes" was the cheerful reply
of the convict. I'm in Jail for life. .

She Wanted to Know.

AS has been remarked several times,
1t may be doubted if the mirth-provok-
ing peculiarities of women are more
numerous or pronounced than those
of men. Each sex is peculiar in it's
own way. But a man rarely loses all
consciousness of time and place, how
ever deeply he may be engrossed in
his affairs; woman differs from him
in this respect. To illustrate, car

BEAUTY

q, you who gaze on fading sunset skies
With dream enkindled eyes
Aglow with ecstasy,
20 not those crystal deeps reveal to you
The secret Of eternity
That In their perlshing, frall glory lies
The one truth wholly true
Though all things perish. Beauty mover dies
For Beauty fades not with the fading hour,
Nor withers with the flower,
Nor passes with the dream
Though death should take the whole earth
In his net,
He may not snare the starry CLEAN
Nor hold the soul OF Beauty IN his power.
Yea, though times sun should set,
And all things perish, Beauty never dies.
Imperishable Beauty trembles through
The frailness Of the dew;
In pickering, white foam,
And IN the Iris Of the stormy bow
Awhile she dwels and hath her home
Beneath our earthly skies o. mortal blue.
They fade vet this we know
Though al things perish, Beauty never dies.
For ever fugitive, before our eyes
From form TO form she nies
We deem her dead when she
Doth flash again upon our maHed sight
In some new living ecstasy
or bloom, or love-lit face. or sunset skies,
Or star enchanted night.
Though all things perish Beauty never dies.
With her alone is Immortality;
For vet men reverently
Adore within her shrine.
The sole immortal time hath not cast down.
She Yields q power yet more divine
Than when OF old she rose from out the sea-
OF night. with starry crown.
Though all things perish. Beauty never DIES

trate, delicate tints, particularly of
pinks, will predominant next spring
Now pink always stands for prosper
ity. When the popular mind is at rest
it inclines to the brighter colors. So
it was just six years ago, in 1898, when
the country enjoyed great prosperity,
and so again in 1S93 when we had an
other high-water mark of national well
fare. The fact that pink will be in
favor in 1906 convinces me that good
year Is ahead.

A New Mark Twain story.

Mark Twain is the legitimate sub
ject of thousands of anecdotes, but
here is one which has the virtue of
being absolutely truthful and practi-
cally unknown. All the world knows,
of course, that Mark Twain's name
is Samuel Clemens. His choice of a
non de plume is eminently character
istic. Early in his career Mark Twain
was river pilot on the Mississippi
The boatmen on the river when sound
ing the depth of the water, a very ne
cessary operation, make frequent
measurements with line. AS they
get their reading they call out, by
the mark one" meaning one fathom;
"By the mark twain" meaning two
fathoms, and so on. The phrase struck
the humorist as being a picturesque
one, and he adopted it, probably not
realizing that it was destined to be.

WITHIN THE EVERGLADES.
Animal Life Is Abundant, and There
Is Luxuriant Growth OF Plants.

Animal Life Is Abundant, and There
is Luxurant Growth Of Plants.
The islands of the Everglades are
covered with luxuriant virgin forests.
The live-oaks and the bays are present
in large numbers, interspersed with
wild cucumbers, wild lemon and wild
orange. The papaya, the custard-ap-
pie, and the prickly-ash are OF very
frequent occurrence, and here and
there, governed by the size and eleva-
ton of the islands, are the cabbage
palmetto and the pine. Wild rubber
trees are also found in some localities,
growing to enormous size. through
out the region there is phenomenal
growth of vines. The morning-glory
and honeysuckle attain great size and
are almost everywhere. The wild flg,
which fastens itself about a massive
trunk of live-oak or bay, lives it's can
nibal life until the supporting tree
trunk has been destroyed. Wherever
the land is dry enough, the coontie-
plant fourishes. This plant is really
the Florida arrowroot. 1t is the main
stay of the Seminole From it's root ne
extracts flour and starch, both OK
which are delicate and digestible
There is a remarkable variety and
profusion of wild flowers. Water lilies
and spider lilies abound. Orchids are
found in great numbers and are OF
great beauty. On many of the islands
grow giant ferns, the fronds of which
measure ten feet in length.
The shores of the streams by which
the Glades are entered are cAered
with rank growths of the cocoa-plum-
The same tree grows all about the
edge of the Glades, producing blue
fruit on the eastern edge and white
fruit toward the west. The fora OF
the whole region is unique and I'M
studied, and contains, no doubt,
scores of plants unknown and unclassi-
fed.
The Everglades are not a sports
mans paradise, in the usual sense of
that term. Nevertheless, animal life
is fairly abundant in that portion OF
the area where the larger islands lie.
Deer are found on both the eastern
and western edges, and now and then
bear is seen. The panther has not
entirely disappeared, an occasional one
finding his way into the explorers
camp. Offers are plentiful, and the
Seminoles, who hunt both the otter
and the alligator for their skins. de-
rive a considerable revenue from otter
trapping. The alligator is often seen,
and his gentle roar is by no means I'M
musicale. On the southeastern edge
the crocodile (Crocodilus American
us) is found in small numbers, though
his more favorite haunts are among
