Zaninni Sasserno Wedding.
A quiet wedding took place at Pali-
SADIE on Thursday, Jan. %, 1906. at the
home of E.. Sasserno, when his eldest
daughter, Miss Mary Sasserno, and Mr..
Salvatore ZIninni were united in mar

Rev. Father Manion of Eureka, there
being present only the members of the
family. The bride wore a handsome
white crepe de chine costume, and she
was attended by her sister, Miss Henri
eta Sasserno. The brides brother,
Antoine Sasserno, was groomsman. A

American Company Buys Iron Mine.
The American Smelling and Refining
Company of Salt Lake has bought the
iron mine at Gerald on the Southern
Pacific. six miles west of Palisade, in
Eureka County. aud the property vas
turned over to the new management on
Jan. 5. faa
This mine consists of a mountain of
iron and was owned until a few years
ago by J. A. Ferraro, former railroad
agent at Pal SADIE, who disposed Of it to
West. Watson and associates. The lat.
ter organized the West Mining Com
pany aud began operations. A spur
track was at once put in, connecting
the mine with the main line Of the
Southern Pacific. and ore shipments
have since been going out to the Amer.
can Company's smelters for f1ux at the
rate of from 200 to 300 ions a day.
The ore has evidently stood the test
of its value for iuxing purposes. and
the immense quantity so easily avail
able made the mine a desirable prop
erty for the American Company and its
purchase was successfully negotiated.

Aunt Madge, and also that she has a bigger
house to clean than some of us have, and SO
send In our contributions and assist her in

with the return Of spring there comes with 1t
lassitude that makes labor, and especially
the hard labor that is connected with spring
cleaning burden hard to bear.

Dear Aunt Madge:
/ send you a recipe which once read and
always remembered because OF its goodness,
thinking that it may be of help through the
trials, troubles and fluctuations OF spring
housekeeping.
Personally / cannot recommend IL as q
"never-fail recipe" although | imagine the
fault is my OWN, and have no doubt but III
o. b., Charity" Novice" and others, will
find it all right:
Take a gill of forbearanee, pinch of sub
mission, twelve ounces of patience, a handful
of grace; mix well with the milk Of the bes,
human kindness, and serve with radiant
smile on your face.
Try it when you feel out of patience and
everything seems to go wrong. zILI-A.
Best wishes to all for a comfortable
house-cleaning. AUNT MADGE.

Curious Fishing.

Very curious is the method OF fishing
followed by the Chinese in the strait
OF Malacca. The fisherman lets down
from the side of the boat a screen of
white canvas stretched on wood. The
shoal OF fish mistake this for some
floating obstruction and try to leap
over 1t, with the result that the fish
jump into the boat and are thus cap
tured. This method is employed by
Malays In their waters.

Dear ~. B. Friends:
am glad the poem stopped short of that
one more stanza which would of necessity
have been the "moral." Now we can
make our own application OF this. Just
now it is seed-time literally, and many of
you are selecting and asserting garden
and flower seeds, and quite likely are
coaxing to early development a few special
kinds by artificial heat. Even the May
flowers are late this season, but few
weeks will find our part of the earth
bright with floral beauty.
