The Story of the Nevada Cola Strikes.

FROM inc REVIEW OF Reviews.
But the greatest of Nevada,s re-
sources is it's mineral wealth. Thirty
years ago, when the Comstock lode was
pouring forth it's millions and Virginia
City was in the height of it's prosper
ity, Nevada's future seemed full Of
promise. Now that promise, after long
delay, is about to be fulfilled. Tono-
pab, Goldfeld and Bullfrog are -four

of the newest camps, and there have
recently been uncovered vast deposits

world heard little about it, although
today Tonopah has a single mine that

a boom, a collapse, a recovery, and had

Not FOR Her.

A AAoLh LII . WEEKLY.
A story is told of a young wife who
knew little of housekeeping. She was,
in consequence of that inexperience,
disposed to stand a bit in awe Of the
butcher, the baker. and the candlestick
maker, for she felt sure they must be
aware OF the extent of her ignorance in
household matters. She ordered only
such things as she was absolutely sure
of. and she made her interviews with
the tradesmen as brief as possible.
one morning there came to her house
a collector of ashes. "Ash-ees!
ash-ees!" she heard him calling in stem
torian tones. AS the cry was repeated
again and again, she became more and
more perpleXed as to what ''ash-ees''
meant. Finally, she went to the gate
in the rear and opened it. "Ash-ees?"
came in cultural question from the
man.
The young wife hesitated for a mo-
ment; then, drawing herself up to a
dignified attitude, she replied coldly:
No, I don't think l care for any to-

The night had drawn in intensely dark
and cold and a rough Biscay swell was
running mountain high from the west, to
break furiously, with a cloud of kissing
spray, on tho rocky coast of Portugal.
AT six bells, first watch, Michael was re-

at the seethins, rushing water.
Suddenly a hand vas laid on his shout

Never one to harbor malice or hard

Then 1t was that he determined to go to
sea for a year or two, leaving Tat's Corner
with that object, without saying a word to
Kitty, or, indeed, to any one.
kitty's only mistake was that she had
not told Michael that she had guessed that
Dick Corbett loved her; her excuse to her.
self being that no word had actually been
spoken.
There were thus faults on both sizes. the
-onsequences Of which might, with a little
mutual confidence, have been averted.
The Erl King was preparing TO warp out
of dock, and Michael Fenwick., sick with
disappointment at not having any reply
from Kitty, was listlessly coiling up a rope
on the fo'castle head.
The chief mate was standing by the
~break-rail, shouting orders to the man in
charge of the steam-winch, when casting
his eyes for a moment q~uaywards, he saw
a girls fearful face looking up at that
part of the ship.
He could not take advantage of her
proximity to speak to her; besides, Michael
was too close for that action to be quite
prudent-so he made a virtue CT necessity
and called his subordinate's attention to
his sweet-heart's presence on the quay.
1t would have been rank INSTRUMENTATION
to leave the ship, even for five minutes, so
all Michael could do was to lean over the
ran ana speak 10 ner.
you shouldn't have GOMEZ he said, first
looking round to see that there We're not
immediate listeners. I'VE shall cast off in
less than ten minutes"
II couldn't let you go without saying
good-by, Michael"
Yes, I know; it was wrong of me to
leave you without a word; but I did it for
the best, Kitty"
Don't say anything more about that,
Mici1ael.-I just want you to promise me
one thing"
What is .t?"
Promise me you'll do what I've asked
you IN this!!''
AS she spoke the last word she threw on
board a piece Of paper wrapped round
some thing hard. 1t fell at his feet, he
picked it up OF the instant, and put it in
his pocket
You mustn't remain any longer, Kit!!'
(even then the ship had begun to move
away from the quay), "Ill remember,
Goodby."
"Goodby, dear."
At that moment Corbett called him to
do something and when he looked round
again the steamer was a hundred yards
from the quay, all he could see being a
little figure waving a handkerchief.
When they We're well in the Mersey, and
fairly Oh their way seward he took out
and read kitty's last little note of appeal.

HAZEL. 1t was not a long one; just saying
that she must not think badly of him for
leaving her in this way, and hat an un-
expected meeting with Dick Corbett had
made things easier, and the future more
hopeful"
He was addressing the envelope when
Dick, who had left him for ten minutes
returned.
The mates eyes CLEANED viciouslY as he
caught sight of the superscription over
the others shoulder.
"Shall 1 post it for Nou?" he said.
mo, Dick!-or Mr.. Corbett, l suppose /
ought to say-no, thanks, I've got to go
after my 'duds' to the boarding house."
The other tried hard not to appear dis
appointed, and so far succeeded as to
awaken no suspicion IN Michael's mind of
any desire to tamper with the letter.
The new A. b. then signed on; agreed to
be OH board the following afternoon. and
left the ship.
Had he but turned round as he went
down the gangway, he would not have
failed to see such an expression on Dick
Corbett's face, as the latter stood watch
ing, with his arms on the rail, as would
have set him thinking that the easiness of
things and ne opefulness of the future
were not quite SO substantial as they ap-
peared to be.
So he posted the letter in the first pillar
box and the play went on.
Tat's Corner was a quaint little old
world fishing village on the west coast,
where. seven years before, Dick Corbett
and Michael Fenwick idled as ~inseparable
cronies.
Kitty HAZEL, then a girl of sixteen only,
was pretty and sweet enough to turn the
head of more than one young fellow in
the place. But from the first, Michael
made the running.
One thing he did not know; that his
friend was behind his back. scheming to
supplant him in Kitty's affection; using as
his principal tool the girls own father,
Joshua HAZEL, the drunkenest fisherman
harbor of Tat's Corner.
Kitty's would-be lover played upon the
old fisherman's weakness to such an ex-
tent that in a short time things seemed
ripe for a declaration on his-Corbett's=
part.
Fortunately. however. for Michael and
his sweetheart, though disastrously for old
Joshua, a storm that swept the whole OF
the west coast was the means of defeating
for the time being, at any rate, Dick Cor
belts mean and dastardly betrayal of his
friend.
Old HAZEL, with many another deep-sea
could ave influenced Kitty; though She
herself declares today that not even her
father could nave shaken her faith in
Michael Fenwick.
Hard times then came to Kitty, and at
the date of Dick Corbett's disappearance,
she was earning a scanty living as one OF
the many net members to the fishing fleet.
By-and-by, the fishing Industry declined
so owing to the overwhelming increase in
steam TRAVELLING, that Micnael found it inn
possible to make a living even, while his
of marrying Kitty seemed more
Iemot han ever.

sheets.
Michael, however. reused back to a sense
or his position by reason of the motion
during his journey on deck on Corbett's
shoulders, managed to shake himself free
OF his Intended murderer, grasping him
resolutely by the throat.
Corbett. alive to the fact that the easy
accomplishment of his design was now inn
possible, fought with the desperation of a
mailman.
Then Michael, gathering himself to-
gether for one big effort, dealt his oppo-
nent a terrific blow between the eyes. and
felled him senseless to the deck.
knowing that he was within five miles
at most OF the Portuguese coast, he sprang
to the daNits, let go the tackles OF the lee
quarter boat, jumped into her and when
the rail kissed the water, let the boat
down with a run into the boiling sea.

The remark was sufficient to make the

Little Julia at 3 years of age had become
a little question box. She had made up
her little mind to know all about the round
bright r%noon-how it hung there on high,
who put It there, who lighted ii each night.
The simplest way to answer her was the
easiest, so she was told God hung it there
each night and took it in each morning.
One evening after lisping her prayers she
locked out of the window and saw the
moon Shining brightly but about to be shut
in by a heavy bank of ram clouds. In her
fear that something would happen to her
precious moon she suddenly exclaimed:

TOO MANY

Many farmers and their families live
largely on fruit and vegetables during the
summer and suffer more or less from sum
mer complaint as a consequence. That
fruit and vegetables are healthful there
can be no doubt and most people, espe-
cially the city dwellers, ought to consume
more Of them. On the other hand it is a
serious question If they can be eaten to
the exclusion of meat entirely. This is not
a question OF vegitarianism but one of
health and one should be guided accord
ing to the effect Of food on the body. MANY
people thrive on a wholly vegetable. fruit
and grain diet while others are i'll as the
result of such a diet; still others do well
with but q little meat while still others
seem to require considerable in the way
of meat to keep them in good condition.
We should. as stated, govern our con-
sumption of food largely or entirely on the
results rather han on the fanaticism OF
meat eaters or vegetarians. Possibly, In
future century mankind NAV exist
wholly without meat and be all the better
for 1t, but we do not think this is possible
now with all people. Use common sense
in arranging the diet rather than the guild
ance of some faddiSt.

Robert Watchorn, the we'll known COM

sympathetic and thorough study of the
Immigrant types that reach New York.
Discussing these types the other day. he
said:
The most naive are the Germans from
the smaller and remoter states. They
have the c~harmingly simple and quaint
minds of children.
"A beautiful German girl disembarked
here the other day. She was tall and
strong. blue-eyed and yellow-haired. She
wanted to know at once if there were any
letters for her.
The postmaster at the pier, after get
ting her name, said. by way of a joke:
=" Is it a business or a love letter that
you eXpect?'
THE g:rl faltered:
"a business letter.
Well, there's nothing here said tne

The girl hesitated. Then, blushing as
red as a rose, she said:

DROPsY in PoULTRY.

After a season on the range poultry
placed in confinement are apt to be
troubled, more or less with disease. chief
among them being dropsy which may be
recognized by a swelling of the legs until
tho bird becomes useless and finally dies.
Without proper exercise and the rather
general feeding of grains and meat with
too little in the way of green food to
which the fow.s have become used this
disease is almost certain to occur. The
remedy is to open the bowels. and this
may be done by giving them a dose of ED
some salts, a cutting down to the mini
mum amount of concentrated foods and
the substitution OF as large quantities CT
green food as the birds will consume. The
trouble should receive treatment iust as
soon as It is discovered. Let the possible
ity of this trouble make poultrymen con-
verts to the scratching shed plan for there
is no better way known of furnishing ex-
ercise during the winter when it is inn
possible to turn the fowls out in the cold
than the scratching shed with its floor
litter covered in which the grain is scat
tered SO they will bu forced to scratch for
what they ave and thus get exercise,
