orieinators of Upright Writing.


Before a school teacher lay num-
Der of compositions, all written in a
neat, upright hand.
Few people," she said, know TO
whom we are indebted for the straight
up and down penmanship now taught
in our schools, and few grasp the su-
periority of this style.
Upright writing was originated by
Drs. Won Reuss and Lorenz OF Aus
tria. They recommended it TO the
Austrian Supreme Council of Hygiene
They pointed out that it was the bet
ter style of writing to teach children
for the reason that a child using II
would face his book and would thus
be spared the twist of the body and
neck which is always observed in
those who write the slanting hand.
This twist, they showed had a ten
dency TO bring on spinal curvature.
THE recommendation of Dr. Won
Reuss and DR.. Lorenz was adopted in
Austria, and upright writing was fin
ally adopted there. May ii live for

trudging away. without one faltering
backward glance.
A long way off, Wilbur set his bur-

mother-heart. Very quietly mama

SOME ODD WEDDING SPEECHES,
One Groom Gave a Juggling Per.
Torrance, Another Won by Brides.

Torrance, Another Won by Brides.
The recent wedding in New York
at which the bridesmaids were repre-
sentative of six natinalities. and
each felicitated the bride In the lam
guage of her own country, was an
odd affair. but probably not so well
received as the speech OF young
Englishman who was called upon to
toast THE bridesmaids"
Apprised of his ordeal in advance
he had devised an escape, and with
the single statement that silence was
golden he brought from his pocket a
set OF gold bangles, which he bestow-
ed upon the attendants of the bride.
AT wedding feast at Dol. in Nor
mandy, the demand for a speech re-
suited in the production of a guitar,
upon which the speaker accompanied
himself while he chanted the praises
Of the bride.
Had he stopped there all would
have been well, but he changed to a
praise of his store, and the guests
threw him out of the house.
Doubtless a similar fate should
have befallen the sharpshooter who
wrote the name of the bride upon the
wall with pistol bullets, to the serious
damage Of the wall paper.
Almost as odd was the performance
OF German music hall performer,
who, when called upon for entertain
ment, mounted the table upon his
hands and balanced himself upon
glasses, cups and other furnishings

SOLDIERS USED IN MANY WAYS.
European Troops Are More Than
Merely Ornamental

The order of the French minister
Of war that the sharpshooters of the
garrison towns on the coast shall de-
vote their time to the determination
of the seals which threaten the fish
cries Of the French coast is novel,
but merely a repetition of history.
Some years ago the province Of
Luxembourg was infested with
wolves. The alarmed inhabitants APP
peaed to the minister Of agriculture,
who in turn called upon the minister
OF war, with the result that several
regiments were ordered to the prov.
ince and the pests were exterminated
In short order.
1t is not many years ago that Ger
man soldiers were ordered to East
Belgium TO assist the peasants in
combating a plague of rats, and mil
lions were killed before the troops
were withdrawn. Four thousand Rus
sian soldiers cleared the railway lines
in the vicinity of Odessa after the
great blizzard Of 1908, and a company
Of French infantry enjoyed a lion
hunt in the streets of Charities when
one of those animals escaped from
travelling menagerie.
Perhaps the oldest use to which
soldiers are put is at the Heidelberg
university, where the school of anat-
omy draws upon the garrison for it's
living object lessons.

AMERICAN NICLEL. NINE
LETS WOOD CONTRACT
|. Stevens Will GET out -Four Hun.
dred Cords for Fuel.
New Machinery About installed and
Ready for Operations More
Yet to Arrive.

Louis Stevens, having completed
the hauling of the boilers, air com,
pressora, drills and other machinery
out to the American Nickel Companys
mines at Cottonwood, started this
week on the return trip to that Camp.
He has been given the contract to
get out about 400 cords of wood for
that company, to be used by them for
fuel this year in operating their mac
hinery. The wood will be taken from
the hills adjacent to the mine and
will, therefore be much cheaper than
hauling in coal from, the railroad.
Mr.. Stevens took out four big teams
to he used in this work, and will get
the wood out and down to the mine
as soon as possible.
The machinery which he has just
completed hauling is about placed in
position and ready for use. Besidss
this, new hoist is expected to arrive
in Lovelock within two weeks. and
with this the company will have one
of the best equipped mines in this
vicinity, and will be able to make
good progress in develsping the rich
bodies of Nickel and Cobalt ore for
which they are sinking.

Proposes a State League.

Carl Schulz, the Sparks man who is
attempting to organize baseball
league in western Nevada and eastern
California, is industriously working to-
ward that end.
Saturday he consulted with the
baseball enthusiasts at Carson and
Virginia and met With considerable
encouragement. The people at Sparks
are willing to support a league team
and if he can show the Reno fans that
league team will pay at this place
he will be able to enlist the support
he solicits.
Schulz proposes to make up lea
que composed of Reno, Carson, Sparks,
Virginia, Lovelock, WiDnemucca, Elko
and Trnckee,
u have always been of the opinion
that a league would not prove success
full" said G. J, Sadier. manager of
the Ogerlands, but if can be shown
to the contrary am willing to join
in with the neighboring cities and try
it for season.
THE baseball fans of Reno will
support Sunday games. There would
be no trouble about that. Reno would
also give the largest gate receipt of
any of the towns named but under
the arrangement it would hardly be
possible to play Sunday games more
than twice a month. This would cut
down the gate receipts from this
place for ! fear that the people woulfl
not 90 to games played on Saturday
or in the middle of the week"
Manager Sadlier also thinks it would
be impractical to include in the league
such distant cities as Elko and Winner
