of Israel in the patriarehal days of
old Judea.
II was indeed the simple, patriarch
nj life they led, hut like all patriarchal
life, strenuous enough, too, at periods,
for the Indians were often restless
and menacing, jealous of the occupa-
ton of their favorite rendezvous, "the
Zig springs" by white people. But
as many became more tolerant of the
family's presence they were hired to
assist with lators of the rancho and
gradually became friendly and some-
what civilized.

they raised could be driven to distant

could always sell at high prices to
overland travellers and caravans, of
which there were a good many in the
course Of the year, or to distant min
ing camps, which sent in teams and
hauled it away without trouble to the
family. Their melons and peaches and
figs and pomegranates and grapes
would fetch their weight in gold when
taken to the desert mining camps.
They sold the whole fruitage Of an or
chard at 10 cents a pound, which is
about twenty times the average price
in city markets. And thus they thriv-
d and grew rich in their patriarchal
desert oasis, far hidden midway be-
tween Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.
But there fell a day when the rich
est man in all the west-a mar whose
income from his great mines in Ari-
IONA and Montana is mentioned as
$l0,000,0 900 a year-who for the hon
orable pride of leaving a great work
of usefulness to the country accom-
plished to glorify his name (being
rich beyond the dreams of avarice he
could have no other rational motive
for shouldering all the trouble) pro-
jected a railroad to connect Salt Lake
City with Los Angeles and the Pacific,
and it was within the compass of that
rich mans scheme to buy this far
hidden oasis in the desert of southern
Nevada, with its great fountains of
pure and perpetual water, to run its
railroad through it and amuse his fan

preying upon the mind of the Sc f
devoted missionary.
Later after the rush to California
set in. it was touched by the old Nor
mon trail from Salt Lake City to San
Bernardino, which passed just to the
south of Death Valley, and was a
wcll-worn winter route to California
from Salt Lake, to avoid the danger
of snow on the Sierras, in which cara
vans OF. earlier years had persisted.
IS early as 1854 the Mormons had
founded & "stake' on tlis remote
oasis, and were c~ultivating fourishing
farms and had orchards and vines
planted, LIT the families were recalled
to Salt Lake City in 1858 by Brigham
Young, when he assembled the faithful
to resist the army sent by President
Buchanan to compel submission by the
Mormon hierarchy to the authority of
the United States government.
When the Mormons first treked
from Illinois to Utah. the territory
had belonged to Mexico, and Brig
ham had dreams of maintaining an in
dependent empire Of his own in the
desert country between the Rockies
and the Sierras, and was prone to dis
pute and resist the title which the
United States had acquired from Mex
leo.
The Mormons never returned to this
'fstal;c' in the desert and all their
paintings and buildings were aban-
doned. But subsequently-about a
third Of a century ago-the oasis was
again taken up by ~ substantial fami-
ly named Stewart from California, and
was locally known-so far as it's exist
ence was known at alias "the Stew
art ranch.' Among map makers, how
ever, the name Las Vegas stuck to the
spot, and it is thus designated on
many old maps.
The Stewards were q strong self-re-
liant family of some means, and Of
respectable culture, Presbyterian in
their faith and Presbyterian also in
their courage. They came in with
their nocks and herds and settled
there and gained legal title from the
government to 1900 acres of land, COW
cring most Of the big springs and the
natural meadows surrounding
And there they lived and bred and
planted and reaped, possessing large
herds and setting out orchards and
and making wine of their grapes in
such homeIy fashion as they could for
the family use, and drying their figs

cy by building here the central city
of his line. And so with his railroad
finished from Salt Lake City to the
harbor of San Pedro on the wide Pa
cifc, % miles beyond the ancient mis-
sion of Neustra Sonora de los An
g~eles-here in the midway of this
year of Jesus Christ, 1905, in the dust
and heat of the desert, was born the
newest city of North America and was
christened and named as the old Jes-
nit missionaries had first named the
spot, Las Vegas-the meadows.
Already the railroad-buiit regard
less of first cost for the glory Of the
builder-has taken it's place among
the strong ines engaged in transconti-
mental traffic and has become a favor
tie with travellers to southern Califor-
MIA and central Nevada. In effect it
makes San Pedro the harbor of Salt
Lake City, as our Colorado g. Southern
makes Galveston the harhor of Den
yer.
And presently this newborn city Of
Las Vegas, in the desert Of southern
Nevada, may be expected, under the
fostering care of this new railroad, to
take a strong hold upon the interest,
both sentimental and practical, of the
American public.
Because it is unique it contains
within itself the conditions that favor
Il free and general advertising of it's
attractiveness. Newspapers must men
tion it because the public will want
to hear about it.-Denver Post.

Among the stories which were told
by certain aged physicians at reun-
ion Of medical men of the times when
surgical operations were conducted
without anaesthetics none was more
touching than the following:
A little girl not more than eight years
old was injured in such way that it
was necessary to amputate one of her
legs. She proved to be of wonderful
pluck. and instead of binding her, as
was customary in such cases, she was
given her most cherished doll to hold.
Pressing it in her arms, she submitted
to the amputation without single cry.
When it was done the physician in
charge, seeking TO brighten matters up
with pleasantly, said. And now, my
dear, we will amputate your dolls leg"
Then the little girl burst into tears.
"No, nor she gasped between her
sobs. "You shall not; It would hurt her
too much.''

Woman's False Pride.

Women are full Of false pride. A
woman will do anything but be an eff
ficient servant, and those who are
servants do not put their hearts into
it. Take the cooks. for instance. How
many of them try to learn how to i'm
prove themselves and to be more val-
liable to their employers? And yet,
look at the men cooks how they make
fine art of their trade and get sal
aries accordingly! There are few
women who are high priced chefs to
millionaires and restaurants, but what

is the percentage compared to that OF
men? You can't deny that the average
woman has much better head for
cooking than she has for figures. Then
why be a poor accountant or stenogra-
pher or private secretary and earn a
weekly pittance instead of being first
class cook and working up ultimately
to some household where ones salary
is estimated by the year?
'sThen take my trade. 1t takes a
pretty poor dressmaker not to have
customers. Unless she cuts out two
sleeves alike and makes her skirts pull
up in front she is going to have all the
work she wants. And, as for the art
lists in the profession well, they charge
their own prices, and people are glad
to pay them 1t is the same with mil
linery, laundry work or keeping board
ers. You see women who would do
well at something they could practice
in their own home going out into Of
fees, losing their health and making
poor wages, while some man steps in
and succeeds at their work.
