meet as ever two celebrities were, but
hitherto they had never been able to
manage It,
"Smoot," said Lincoln, after a steady
survey of his person, II am very much
disappointed In you. | expected to see
an old Probst of a fellow" Probst, it
appears, was the most hideous speci-
men of humanity in all that countryD
"Yes," replied Smoot, "and l am
equally disappointed, for / expected to
see good looking man when l saw
you"
A few neat compliments like the fore
going laid the foundation of a lasting
intimacy between the two men, and in
his present distress Lincoln knew no
one who would be more likely than
Smoot to respond favorably to an appli-
cation for money.
after he was elected to the legisla-
ture," says Mr.. Smoot, "he came to my
house one day In company with Hugh
Armstrong. Says he, 'Smoot, did you
vote for meY l told him I did. WELL
says he, you must loan me money to
buy suitable clothing, for l want to
make decent appearance In the legis-
lature.' | then loaned him 5000, which
he returned to me according to prom
ise"
The interval between the election
and his departure for the seat of gov
ernment was employed by Mr.. Lincoln
partly In reading, partly in writing.
Community Of Freethinkers.
The community In which he lived was
pre-eminently community of free
thinkers In matters of religion. and it
was then no secret, nor has 1t been a
secret SINCE that Mr. Lincoln agreed
with the majority of his associates In
denying to the Bible the authority of
divine revelation. 1t was his honest be-
lief, belief which 1t was no reproach
to hold at New Salem, Ammo Domini
1884, and one which he never thought
OF conceaiing. It was no DISTINCTION,
either good or bad, no honor1
shanaer-Rut he he'd made 4st-41 th0f-
oughly familiar with the writings Of
Paine and Volney-the ruins" by one
and "The Age Of Reason" by the other
His mind was full of the subject, and
he felt an itching to write. He did
write. and the result was little book
1t was probably merely an extended
essay, but 1t is ambltiously spoken of
as "a book" by himself and by the per-
sons who were made acquainted with
its contents. In this work he intended
to demonstrate
"First, that the Bible was not Gods
revelation; and,
Secondly. that Jesus was not the
Son of God"
No leaf of this little volume has sur
vived. Mr.. Lincoln carried it In manu-
script to the store of Mr.. Samuel Hill,
where 1t was read and discussed. Hill
was himself an unbeliever, but his son
considered this book Infamous" 1t is
more than probable that Hill, being a
warm personal friend of Lincoln, fear
ed that the publication of the essay
would some day interfere with the po-
litical advancement of his favorite At
all events, he snatched 1t out of his
hand and thrust 1t into the fire, from
which not shred escaped.

which are inseparable from such work,
make them tests Of sincerity and no
bility of character.
No woman who Is not deeply in ear
nest and attached to her calling for Its
own sake could endure the ordeal
which DIR. Anderson as chief physician
in the womans insane department al
Blockley, has undergone for nearly ten
years. DIR. Anderson graduated from
the Woman's college in Philadelphia in
1893, and since then has devoted all
her time to the study Of lunacy in Phil
adelphia and in New York institutions.
She Is ably assisted In her work by
DIR. Elizabeth B. Brickner, who passed
an examination qualifying her to hold
the position as second physician in this
department.
These two women, with Miss M. I.
Clements. supervisor Of the woman's
insane wards, who has seventy-five
nIssses n,sai u hers direction and pearly
a thousand patients in various stages
of insanity, have the entire care of
this department, under the supervision

You Can Cultivate Pretty Foot.
All feet may not be naturally small,
but all can be made to look small All
feet are not naturally slender, but all
can be made to look slender. And ali
insteps can be made to look arched.
The woman who wants to make her
foot look small should try to wear the
high heel. At first it will make her
muscles ache, but after a few days
they will adjust themselves to the new
state of affairs, and the high heel will
be more comfortable than the low.
1t will support the instep better.
There are women who cannot wear
high heels, and for them there Is not
very much hope. The feet will never
look very small unless, indeed, they be
naturally little.
If you want your feet to look small
you must buy your shoes very care
fully. Shoes Ill bought will look big
and ugly no matter how small they
may be. The woman who wears
correctly, make her feet look as
though they were clad in No. 2's. And
the woman who wears a No. can
make her foot positively tiny. There
is even hope for the woman with the
No. @.
Don't settle down to state of big
feet even If yours happen to be large"
says a dealer. Select shoes with low
vamps; wear your heels high and
broad and don't forget that pointed
toes are always good"
Crossing the knees is never permis-
sible unless one be of the very petite
type. The little girl of five feet one or
two, slender as reed bird and grace
full as q little swan, can cross her
knees and look pretty, but the tall girl
cannot do this.
Crossing the feet is apt to be pretty
If one does 1t prettily. 1t is graceful
thing to stretch out ones feet so as to
show the line of the skirt and to cross
the feet This gives very pretty pose,
and one that makes the feet seem
smaller.
Feet placed close together always
look smaller than feet tnat are stretch
ed wide apart. Feet placed at right
angles to each other look smaller than
feet that are placed side by side. Feet
prettily posed in any position look
smaller than feet carelessly posed or
awkwardly placed.-Boston Traveller.

LITTLE TONOPAH
Mining COMPANY
After Being Close Down for
a Considerable Period it
Resumes Operations

After being closed down for con-
siderable period. the Little Tonopah
mine will again begin operations.
The work will be done by the To-
nopah Geodatic Mining Company of
Los Angeles, who have secured
very advantageous lease on the
property.
The new Company installed a com
plete plant including a 100 H. P.
compressor with the usual assesories.
A so H. p Ledgerwood hoist has
been erected and steady work will
be carried on. At present the shaft
is down 5S5 feet and win be sunk
to 500 feet before any attempt at
prosecuting is made
Before taking hold of the lease
the Geodatic Mining Company had
the workings thoroughly examined
by competent experts and it was up
on their recommendation that the
present lease was concluded.
ne granting Oh the lease Will
have no effect upon the stock of the
Little Tonopah Mining Company in
asmuch as it is practically all held
by those who were instrumental in
completing the arrangements with
the leasing company.
Mr.. II. NJ Roche who has just
returned from a three months auto
mobile trip will have entire charge
of the operations.
The Little Tonopah has long been
considered very valuable property
and General Manager Roche will no
doubt prove within short time that
the prevailing opinion is well
ofunded,

Notes from Golden Arrow.

The movement into the Kawich
country is gathering force every day.
The owners of the heaviest inter-
ests are making active preparations
for extensive operations during the
winter season. While many of them
are giving out very little information
regarding their plans, 1t is becoming
more evident daily from the bits of
news casually dropped that this sec
tion will receive attention this win
ter which will overshadow the Man
haitian boom of year ago.
The new town Of Golden Arrow
is forty miles east of Tonopah and
is the first town on the Kawich Rail-
road survey. The mines of the Col
den Arrow district are farther adj
vanced in development than the
properties of the other camps and
the extensive proven bodies Of mill
ing ore as we'll as the many natural
advantages will make Golden Arrow
the metropolis of the Kawich coun-
try and win be the distributing point
for the surrounding camps which are
Silver Bow, ten miles southeast;
Horseshoe, eight miles north; Belle
helen, twelve miles northeast. and
Eden twelve miles east.
Th Golden Arrow Towniste Com
pany recently Incorporated owns the
Golden Arrow and Horseshoe town
sites, both of which have been sur
veyed by r. e. Tilden, United States
Deputy Mineral Surveyor. and ap-
proved by the County Commission
ers.

GREENWATER
R. P. Dunlap and Roger Knox
Return from the Cop
per District

Richard p Dunlap and Roger
Knox returned Tuesday from a visit
to Grenewater. Mr. Dunlap who
had not before been to the district
stated that he was much impressed
with the conditions and thought that
it was a country of great possibili-
ties. He said that the greatest ac-
tivity was being displayed on Sena-
tor Oddie's Arcturus property. The
ore taken from the shaft of the
Greenwater and Death Valley mine
was fine, he asserted. As to the
Patsy Clark property he said he was
not so very much impressed, al
though he learned that they claimed
to have very high grade ore. He
said it was the coldest place he was
ever in and that there was no way
to get warm. During the cold spell
which happened while he was in the
camp; he stated that it was no un-
common sight to see the citizens
gather around bon fire all night
and indulge in regular Indians war
dances. The price of every thing is
very high and he thinks that there
is splendid opening for first
class store selling goods at a reason
able figure. Mr.. George Badgett
Joined Mr.. Dunlap and Mr.. Knox in
Greenwater and together they visited
some claims in which Mr.. Knox is
Interested Mr.. Dunlap also stated
that a great deal of building was
going on, and that every thing point
ed to the permanency of the district.

New Mining District

In order to procure proper pro-
lection and avoid trouble, the Wal
ker River mining district was re-
Gently formed by miners of Schurz.
1t will include the Walker River
Indian reservation and stretching
many miles on either side in places.
Although the reservation, which
is to be opened on the 29th of Octo-
Der, is not yet part of the public
domain, it is believed that the dis
triet will stand as outlined.
After electing officers and other
wise completing the formal organ
ization rules were adopted supple
menting the federal and state laws
relating to mining. One rule, most
unusual in character, forbids the
bringing of firearms or other weap-
ons into the district until after the
18th day of November, 1906, and
provides further that any person
committing such an act or threaten
ing to assault anyone with firearm,
knife, rock, club, etc, shall forfeit
location rights and be elected from
the district
This rule has provoked consider
able comment. It's intention is ex-
cellent, no doubt, but mining au-
thorities say that it is worthless in
asmuch as it has no relation to the
mining business and is beyond the
range of district legislation.
The mining district is the largest
in the state and probably the largest
in the entire country, containing
about LOO square miles, and ex-
tending into three counties, Es-
meralda, Churchill and Lyon.
This district is pear shaped and
begins southwest of the reservation
near Hot Springs, fifteen miles west
of Hawthorne. From this starting
point the line runs east and north

The Postal is seriously considering
the proposition of building their line

of the company.
Now the Goldfelders propose that
