STRUCK AT THE WHOLE BUNCH.
No Wonder Batsman Was Able to
Line Them Out"

In one of the smaller baseball
leagues there was a player known
throughout the league for his batting
ability, and. strange to say. he hardly
ever faced pitcher when not, more
or less, under the influence of liquor.
This caused much comment among
the fans and one day. after he had
won a close and exciting game by one
OF the longest hits ever seen on the
grounds, while he was so intoxicated
that he could not stand before the
pitcher without swaying from side to
side. one of them was prompted by
curiosity (for they know that it was
not altogether lucky" hit, as he had
done the same thing on several other
occasfons) to ask, How is it you can
bat so well when you can hardly stand
on your legs?" WELL" the player
said, I'll tell you. When the pitcher
delivers the bail to me can see about
half a dozen of them, and if I can't
hit one of them I'm not much good,

THE SWORD OF 1912

But this old sword-we gave II him; his
country, yours and mine.
And set his name upon 1t for some sort
of grateful sign
That what brave deeds he did for us
were cherished at their worth,
That country love and courage We're far
more than wealth or birth.
And how he used to. tell Of when the war
of II was on,
His brave old eyes would glimmer with
the fire of days agone;
His old white head would be flung back
his sinking voice was clear,
And those who heard and saw must know
to him his land was dear.
Ho. Cuthbert Small. this score OF years
and more have been dust
But this old sword is clean and keen and
fair and free from rust
And all the fine old faith that you and
your sword typified
Is living now in every heart that beats
with country pride.

No Wonder She Didn't Care.

"Claret sody." the tantaiizer replied

That's nothing" Miss Muffet
vouchsafed with supreme confidence.

ENDEARINe TERMS LONG KNOWN
Antiquity of Affectionate Diminutives

German chauvinism penetrates
everywhere nowadays. Some earnest
Teutons have started the idea that
German children must drop the words
Mama" and Papa" in favor of
"Mutter" (mother) and Water" (fath-
err. How" say they, can anybody
prefer the unmeaning Mama to the

that the word Mama" Is derived
from the French, seeing that it is

For they are worn and blurred by hands
that touched them year by year.
But II we bend and trace them we may

You smile? The quaint old letters spell
the name Of "Cuthbert Small.
A quaint old man he was-O. this was
long, long years ago:
His face was like the faces that the
olden pictures show;
A strong and earnest one. with lips that
met in sturdy line,
And eyes that sometimes could be stern
but always were benign.
And he was tall and soldierly; at his
three score and ten
His step was quick. he set the pace for
many younger men;
His hair was white and long and you
would look to see a queue.
And to see rufiies on his shirt and buckle

The strength of the Chinese boy
colt lies wholly in the encourage
ment given in Chinese by the
japanese success in the war with
Russia. Large numbers of Japa-
nese have scattered throughout
the coast provinces of China since
the war, and their tales of victory
are doubtless largely responsible
for the anti-foreign agitation. 1t
is entirely possible that we will
pay dearly for the late victory of
our friends the Japs, over the
Russians.

THE CLANsnAN COMING NORTH.

Thomas Dixon's play is COM
ing to Denver. 1t is now at Tope-
ka on its way West. The object
of the managers of this company
is not to confine the production TO
any one portion of the country out
to spread it over the entire section
thus making its work of creating
prejudice and sentiment general
rather than local. Now the matter
begins to react Mr.. Dixon appear
ed before Police Magistrate in
New York last week and sought
police protection against threaten
ed assault claiming to have re-
ceived anonymous letters signed
THE Negro Klu Klux Clan"
threatening to lynch him if he did
not cancel the dates of the Clans
man. Thus the seed sown by this
author is now beginning to ap-
pear and will soon have to be reap
ed. Action and reaction are
equal forces exercised in opposite
directions and any one who begins
the one only invites the other.
The sowing of race hatred is bound
in the end to reap race antagonism
and personal danger and cause
both races to suffer.

DON'T NOMINATE A LAZY NAN.

1t dosen't matter how honest or
how popular a man may be; if he
is lazy he isn't fit to hold the
smallest Office in the state. The
man who shirks is almost as dan
gerous as the man who gratis.
He makes it possible for his sub
ordinates to graft. The Republi-
can party gave the workingmen of
Colorado an honest dollar and a
chance to earn it. This same
party made it possible for any man
to work when and where he pleas
es and for any wage he pleases.
The same party has given the state
a clean business administration
Prosperity is evidence on every
hand. We are making an excell-
ent record. Let's keep it up. See
that not only honest but compe-
tent men are nominated for every
office. These are the days when
we 'do things and it taker able
men to do them and do them
right.

HISTORY WAS NOT TAUGHT.
Recognition by Colleges of Importance
of American Story.

of American Story.
little more than thirty years ago
a boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with tho
highest honors without knowing of
the existence of the declaration of in
dependence or when the constitution
of the United States was framed. says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine. What was true of Har.
ward was true of other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege were required to know something
Of the history of Greece and Rome.
but not Of their own country. During
the four years of the college course
they had opportunity to study the his.
tory OF England and Europe, but never
to learn aught of the United States.
This condition of education was mere
ly an indication of an attitude of mind
then passing away, but which had once
been predominant. The usual opinion
seems to have beer during the first
half of the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling, apart from the adventures of
the revolution, which were both con.
nected SO closely with the history of
Europe that they might be deemed of
importance.

CLIFFORD PROSPERS
High Grade values Pertain In All For
tions of the Camp and Free Gold
likewise

1t appears probable that the Clifford
district is to experience a. prosperous
an era as the new camp of Manhattan
and If recent reports from there be true
there is every reason to believe that the
mines are worthy of development. That
the section is viewed with favor by min
ing men is evidenced by the purchase a
few days ago of the original location of
the Clifford brothers for $3.50. 900. DON
aid Mccarthy of Tonopah was the agent
in the deal acting in the interest of a
party of Pittsburg. Pa. capitalists.
The Clifford property is generally con-
ceded to be a wonder and is said to con-
tain gold ore running into the thousands
of dollars to the ton. Ed Lawrence. who
with L. NJ. Harwood of Columbia, is
leasing at Clifford states that the re-
ported sale of the Clidords original loca
ton is correct and considers the prop
erty cheap at the price. Lawrence and
HARDWOOD are leasing a block of ground
which adjoins the Clifford strike and
as the trend of the ledge is through his
holding he anticipates catching the
same shoot with depth.
Clifford first attracted the attention OF
the mining public last August at which
time the Clifford boys made a discovery
of phenomenally high grade ore within
a few feet from surface. AS soon as the
news of the find was noised abroad a
general exodus from Tonopah to the
new diggings followed. The ground for
many miles in every direction from the
Clifford find was staked and in a number
of cases high grade values are being
obtained. In no instance, however. have
they reached the figures of the Clifford
strike. The camp is located about As
miles east of Tonopah.

STRIKE N~EARFALLON
Eew Camp Established so NILES south
Of Hazsa and Goldneld People in
az the Start

Many Goldheld men have become in
terested in Fairview. a new mining
camp so miles south of Hazen and 10
miles from Hill, the old and historic
stage station on the overland stage
route. The camp is the scene of con-
siderable excitement and a mining dis
trict has been organized with George
Bertschy, for the past year a resident
of Goldheld, as recorder. Mr.. Bertschy
represents the C. S. Wilson interests
and a half dozen other mining men who
are now on the ground assisted in the
organization of the district.
a townsite has been plated by DR.. Gels
thorpe. Watson q Van Dyck. c. S. Will
son and other Goldfeld people and town
lots will be placed on the market next
week. a report received from there
Monday was to the effect that 400 people
were camped near the scene of the
strike and the country for miles around
was being staked. Inasmuch as fully
200 claims were located before the rush
commenced, the new corners, those who
stampeded to the scene, were obliged to
go some distance from the first strike to
make locations. Reports received here
the first of the week are to the effect
that there is a great rush to the dig
gings.
A second strike is reported to have
been made a short distance from where
the rich silver bearing ledge was found
by c. S. Wilson and others. It's values
are said to run about the same as the
original discovery, from 200 to 1890
ounces of silver to the ton, with NOM
NAL gold values.
The country is somewhat inaccessible.
as it is necessary to go from Hazen to
Fallon by stage and thence by private
conveyance 45 miles to the camp. Water
is ten miles away and wood must be
hauled considerable distance.

SLATE LANCE

about two miles north of the Pioneer
group c. II. Richardson is engaged in
sinking a shaft under conditions which
presage the finding of a permanent body
of pay ore with depth. The shaft is
now down 100 feet and has followed the
ledge all the way. At surface the vein
was about IL inches in width but at the
bottom of the shaft is showing more
than IS inches wide. Surface values
were about $50 per ton and these have
increased as the shaft has beer lowered.
At the present point of operation they
rule strong at about $500 per ton. Sacks
have been ordered and a shipment is to
be made within a short time.
A force of six men is engaged in open
ing up the property of the Hyde broth
ers and as work progresses the showing
is daily becoming more encouraging.
Aside from the work being done by the
owners two sets of lessees are likewise
breaking ground and both are in high
grade ore. Sacking is a daily feature of
their operations and both intend to send
in shipments about the middle of
February.
