by having read a resolution creating four

Mr.. Bede said he had voted ever since
he came TO congress for the fast mall
subsidy because he believed the voters OF
the south ought to read the northern
newspapers at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and he would continue to vote for
the appropriation that the southern peo-
pie might have the benefit of the doubt.

In the eighties Sam Davis went to

editorship Of the Carson Appeal, which
before he went actively into State poll

country papers in the United States.
When Sarah Bernhardt first passed
through Nevada on her western tour
the Examiner of San Francisco wired
Davis to board the "divine Sarah's'
train at Reno and escort her into Cali
fornia; also to get q good interview en-
route. Mr.. Davis made himself SO
agreeable to the entire company that
Bernhardt insisted that the romantic
monsieur of the press" be assigned by
the Examiner to escort her through the
mazes of western life. Mr. Davis turn
ed San Francisco upside down for her
entertainment and even arranged q
number of attractions to show her a
sample of western activity under th e
stress of strong emotion. When the
company left San Francisco and fare
wells were being said, Bernhardt walk

admiring throng and kissed him on
either cheek and on the lips.
"On the cheeks" she exclaimed.
with a naive toss of her head. 'for the

Sam Davis, for the second time in
his life, blushed, but recovered himself
in time to remark that there were a

resented, all of which would like to
have him return to Nevada with similar
tokens. Success Magazine.
