:. The gardening profession has not
escaped the general search for novel
ties, and a year or two ago japanese
1ern-balls were all the rage; also
quaint fern figures were formed to
represent various birds and animals.
These were readily bought by the
novelty-seeking public.
The latest quaint idea of the gar

= STUDY IN BEARD AND WHISPERS
OF which are marked by all manner
OF queer expressions. Around the
scalp where the hair should grow. on
the eyebrows, and on the upper lip,
the models are cut in lines, which
reduces the clay to such thickness
that it is porous. These model heads
are hollow, and have to be kept filed
with water, and on the prepared
places special fine grass seed, which
is supplied with the heads, is sown.
In the course of a week a fine crop
OF lovely silky grass sprouts out, Civ
ing the heads a very quaint and
bright appearance AS the water evap-
crates Or leaks through, the heads
must be refilled.
Quite a surprising number of differ
ent expressions and types can be
produced with the same head, by vary
ing the growth from an abundant crop
in one place to a ragged growth in an
ether, or entirely emitting to SOW the
seeds in various places. A clean
shaver, bald-headed, benevolent old
gentleman can be portrayed faithfully
on the same head that with a different
growth will show a man with abun-
dant hair and long beard. Eyebrows
can be grown or omitted at will, and
since the heads are modelled with COM
ical expressions to star with, when
grown in quaint designs they are GER
tainly the most mirth-rroducing gar
den decoration that has been invented.

Mr.. Hadley does not profess any

favorably disposed towards them; but
his personal opinions he keeps in the

IF the case of the state of Missouri
is successful, it will mean that the
state will be opened to great private
oil interests of Kansas, which are now
unable to sell their product at any
price. The Waters-Pierce company
would lose it's charter and the Stand
ard and the Republic companies their
licenses to do business within the
state. Pipe lines would at once be run
from Kansas oil fields and an outlet
would be afforded which is now lack

"As to Mr.. Rogers and his refusals

is an exhibition of the latest methods
adopted by the masters of Standard

Rockefeller entertained the American

WHY NOT REDUCTIONS
FOB SOUTHERN NEVADA

Colorado manufacturers or mining
machinery and supplies are jubilant over
the news received from several railroads
to the effect that reduced freight rates
have been conceded to them. This week
in Denver intelligence arrived from San
Francisco that the Southern Pacific.
Santa Fe and the Sonora railroad in
Mexico have decided to give Colorado
shippers the Pacific coast terminal rates
TO points in Old Mexico. This means a
Ok ner cent reduction on the general run
of Colorado shipments into Mexico. This
is the result of years of labor On the
part of Colorado manufacturers and
shippers, and absolutely removes the
barrier which existed prohibiting Colo
RADIO from enjoying it's rightful portion
of the immense Mexican trade. Colo
RADIO has done much toward development
of Mexico's mineral property and is thus
entitled to a portion of the fruits Of
such labor.-Mining World.

NEW YORK MARKET
ON NEvADAS STEoNG

The New York Journal says: While
the tendency of the local Nevada mining
share market yesterday was decidedly
toward lower prices, the net declines
during the day showed that the market
was well supported. When stocks
reached levels, which made them appear
attractive as bargains, it did not take
long for purchasers to appear. AS in
the last few days the largest part of the
business was transacted on the local
curb many of the members of the MIN
ing exchange having representatives
there ~througout the days trading.
Brokers all evinced considerable sur
prise at the strength of the stocks, as
the local trading represents at the pres
ent time the only active market Tor
these shares in the United States out
side of the one at Goldfeld, New. The
cataclysmic destruction at San Fran
cisco has, of course, placed that market
out of business for the present, and 1T
may be some time before trading is re-
sumed there.
Dispatches received at the office OF Q.
r. Jonasson & Co. from the Goldneld
exchange said that no assistance was
needed there at present to help tide over
the pressure which it was anticipated
would result from the temporary clos
ing of the San Francisco market. The
situation at Goldfeld, it would seem,
had been taken well in hand by the
brokers, and the possibility of a panic
had been averted.
The offer of Charles NJ. Schwab to
lend a reasonable amount of money on
approved Nevada stocks acted as a slim
ulant of the right kind to prevent any
concerted liquidation in the local mar
ket. In connection with his offer, which
had been given wide publicity, 1T is said
that before II o'clock more than 80 ap-
plications had been made in person at
his office to secure loans by small In
v~estors, who had evidently miscon-
strued the nature of the offer, which
had been directed to those in the west,
who were principally affected by the
loss suffered at San Francisco. During
the day. however, more than s250,OOO
was lent on those securities to people
who appealed for aid from California
and Nevada

For Her WeIfare.

Mrs. Goodheart had made up her
mind that most of the so called charity
of the present day was not, strictly
speaking, charity Mt all. Whoever gave,
she had concluded, did so for the pleas

name figure on subscription lists, and
she did not agree with this ostentation.

day last week to n man who had beg
