BOUGHT OLDEST HOUSE
IN THE STATE.
Nevada's Historical Associa
ton Pays $4,000 For an
Ancient Relic Near
Gardnerville.

The Nevada Historical Association,
composed of prominent people through
out the State and having headquar-
ters in Reno, has purchased what is
believed to be the oldest house in
Nevada.
The property is near Gardnerville
and was owned by I. N. Hansen, who
had long preserved it on account Of
its historical significance.
The house will be jealously cared for
by the society and it is believed that
it will stand for many generations be-
fore it falls into decay, as it was con-
structed of heavy timbers by its build
ers, who had in view protection
against rowing Indians at the time.
At one time the house was sur
rounded by a stokade, but this has
long since fallen into disuse.
The price paid for the house was
$3.50.

Virtue which Commands Love.

Virtue which Commands Love.
Should some women need encourage
ment they may learn with interest
that men are rather apt to be vain and
that 1t is enough sometimes to be a
good listener In order to be most
successful hostess. The following
typical anecdote proves this. Gomber-
vile, the old courtier, somewhat of a
poet, too, was known to be paying a
deal of attention to a certain lady Of
the hotel de Rambouillet. One day
some one had this conversation with
him:
"You are the cavalier servant Of
Madam ----T
'Yes, certainly"
"Do you love her7"
"Wlth the most devoted respect in
my heart"
"why? She is not beautiful"
mo"
"She is not young"
"No."
"She is not graceful"
"Not very"
"She Is not witty"
"No. not particularly"
"Well, then, what Is itf"
"She can listen admirably."-Profes-
sor Albert Schinz In Lippincott's Maga-
zine.

fact that he does not advise gov

fact that he does not advise gov
eminent ownership. So peculiar
it is that any strongly entrenched
republican should make a mad
rush to socialism because lawyers
differ, make a bluff and buster
to scare away the. ghosts, when
weIlearn that for all time lawyers
have differed and raised what
seemed to be formidable ques-
tons to a non-professional. If
lawyers had not differed, such a
thing as a court for hundreds of
years would not have been nee
|essary.
What seems to be different
opinions among lawyers, coupled
with a belligerent, contentious
client, is what makes lawsuits.
Again Col. Philips undertakes to
instruct the public mind on gov
ernment bonds to the effect that
four per cent bonds might sell
for a little below par and posi-
bly, might bring a small premi-
um," when in fact U. S. Govern
ment two per cent bonds sell on
the market for par and four per
cents premium. But it does not
alter the fact that if the govern
ment should build a railroad,
money would be required to build
and pay for it. For the govern
ment to get the monay it would
have to issue bonds to obtain it,
and the bonds would finally have
to be paid by the people, but Col.
Philips relies upon the wisdom of
Congress not to build the road,
because, he suggests, that 'Such
a menagerie Of fools as this would
require could not be collected in
the country" Then why should
he suggest that the government
build a railroad 1t would have
to build pursuant to action by
Congress.

BEEF TRUST DISSOLVED.
