one day travelling across "A weary plain,

and was very hungry. So he came to
the house of the Widow Zaidah, who
was also poor. But when he made
known his want she set before him
two hard boiled eggs. all the food
there was In the house
Later, when Alb del Hakk lived In
Marakesh and was very rich, Meludi,
the lawyer. disliking him, persuaded
the Widow Zaidah to sue him for the
eggs, but not for the eggs alone, for
they would have become two chickens,
which in time would have so multi

Hakk would not now pay for them
When the case came to trial the rich
man was not in court.

TIBET's TEA CARAVANS.
The Merchants Carry Prayer Flags and

We were fortunate enough to meet a
great tea caravan, says an eastern
traveller. We have met them ON the
passes and on rough ground TIL it
seemed as If we encountered yak wher-
ever the road was difficult. but here
In the valley we saw them to advan-
tage, and the sight was unique. The
merchants who go to Tatsienfu to trade
travel together for protection and mu-
tual assistance. One man has ten yak,
another fifty, until the whole caravan
numbers far into the hundreds.
The tea is neatly packed in leather
cases containing about 125 pounds,
and two of these make a load for a
yak. They hang easily and evenly
from the saddle on both sides. making
the picture uniform. AS they filed into
the valley and crossed the stream the

In a line and moved forward like

his own animals separate, driving
them before him, so that with a score

We made the stage to Bakmed be-
fore noon and had refreshing meal
Of barley -four and butter tea before
our dinner was ready. While we did
not attempt to live on the native food,
we found it most acceptable whenever
we arrived tired and hungry after the
days journey before our goods came
up.
We visited lamasery where we saw
prayer wheel six feet in height,
raised three feet from the floor and
turned by ropes with handles hanging
conveniently from the bottom. In the
same room was a scroll containing
1000 Buddhas; the painting was very
well done. The Tibetans have GER
tainly outdone every other form OF re-
ligion in the matter of religious ma
chinery and observance
When driving yak they say prayers,
especially when climbing a pass: the
rosary is in constant requisition when
the hands are not otherwise engaged
or prayer wheel is turned in the
hand-at times both. This does not
preclude the necessity of putting up
prayer flags in every conceivable
place, so that the wind with every
hutter of the flag will be saying pray

The prayer wheels are packed full
of prayers written on strips of paper
and wound tightly in such way that
the turning of the wheel tells of the
prayers in the right way; to turn a
wheel backward would say the pray
ers backward. 1t is easy to see that
the larger the wheel the more prayers
are said by one turn. The one we saw
was a very handsome one beautifully

Of Mrs. Millie Crocheron, your CORE

that dark shadow has been cast over
our community since the departure of
one who was raised from childhood and
had lived nearly her entire lifetime
among us.
In the flower of her youth she was
cut down and borne away from those
who loved her. Her death has torn
from earth true and loving mother.
Tenderest sympathies were blended in
the many floral offerings strewn by low
ing hands DER the casket.
Beautiful aud appropriate were the
impressive Episcopal services, conduct
ed by Rev. Jennings. assisted by the

A large concourse of sorrowing neigh
bors, friends, girIhood chums and
former schoolmates followed the re-
mains to the cemetery, where they we're
gently laid to rest beside those of her
brother, who had preceded her many
years before.
The grief-stricken relatives have the
sympathy of all.

But Still He Grinds 1t Out.

Editors are patient men as a rule, but
every now and then the burden of one
of them becomes grea'er than be can
bear and he emits his crouch TO the
public. Here is a sample from an ex-
change:
Did you ever count the words in a
column of ordinary Lews print? There
are about 1000 words in column. Sup
pose you sit down and write thousand
words on some subject, and then an
other thousand on another until you
have written eight or ten thousand.
Try it and see if it is right easy. Keep
that gait up for month. Then chase
a local item all over the town, and after
you have gotten the facts all right, con
dense them in few lines-an hours
work that can he read in few seconds.
Do this of a dozen items that seem in
significant after they are printed, but
which you know are important; then
have the items criticized and inaccura-
cies pointed out to you when it is too
late to correct them. Oh, yes, it is
easy Idaho Scimitar.

Thanksgiving Day.

1t goes almost without saying, that
Thanksgiving was most heartily enjoy
ed by Silver City people and the folk
of the surrounding camps and country.
The ranchers in the valleys we're won
derfully good in supplying US with tur
keys and other nice things for feasts
and with cranberries, sweet potatoes
and other things supplied from our
stores, everybody feasted.
One thing nearly everybody had to
be thankful for, is that there is no ex-
treme poverty existing here and that
strangers aud the few friendless people
had the price to pay for the fine meals
provided by the hotels and restaurants,
while many Of the more fortunate ones,
who did not have homes of their own,
had the pleasure Of enjoying teasts with
the families OF friends who invited
them. It was surely day of good
cheer for ALL
But the young people of the vicinity
did have high jinks of time at their
grand masquerade ball given at Lower
Masonic Hall last night. They were
nearly all there, as we'll as nearly all of
them from DeLamar, Dewey, Black
Jack and elsewhere, in fanciful, comic,
grotesque and original costumes, with
many older onlookers to enjoy their
escapades and fun making.
From the grand march to "masks
off" the fun was fast and full of frills
and frolic. But the number who went
enmasque was only a smaller portion OF
the crowd-so many we're there who
went only as spectators or to participate
in the dancing in the later part of the
night. Nugget did not remain to learn
who we're awarded prizes for the best
sustained characters etc. All appeared
to do well without any being especially
the best Financially, the ball musi
have been success for the parties who
managed it.

left here in the morning. a telegram was
received here announcing that Mr.
Eisenhart's mother had died at Wood

news until the operation had been per
formed, otherwise it would have been
difficult to have prevented him from
going to Oregon to attend her funeral,
with the eye in condition which might
have endangered the sight of the sound
one. His wife arrived in Boise before
the eye was amputated. He is reported
to be getting on nicely, and will soon be
able to return home.

JOHN WAGNER

Died quietly at his ranch, at Wilson,
Owyhee County Idaho.
Deceased had been we'll known and
highly respected business man of Silver
City since the very early days. The
first recollection Of him here was when
he had charge of, or worked in the then
only quartz mill in the district on South
Sinker in 1866. Afterwards, for many
years, in partnership With the late John
Scales, they owned and run the Scales
& Wagener custom mill near the town.
He was married while living here to
Miss Christine johnson, the union
bringing them daughter, Alice, who
died here in 1898 His wife and he in
1901 went to Chicago to consult special
lists respecting both Of their conditions
and while there the wife died, aud the
husband brought her remains home and
had them buried beside those Of their
only daughter. From that date Mr..
Wagener practically gave up all busi-
ness except looking after and caring for
property he had accumulated.
His wife had been the foster mother
of niece, Ellen Westring, who grew
up in their family and married VIM. l..
Jones aud removed with him to Utah,
where they lived until her foster father
required their care, when they returned
here, where they have since lived. For
some wears Mr.. Wagener has suffered
much from failing health, and spent the
winter Of 1905 6 at Burke's sanitarium,
near San Francisco, which he left aud
went to the city to stay just in time to
be caught in the earthquake. He
escaped from that calamity unharmed,
but it was long time before his anx-
ious friends here could get any tidings
from him.
Mr.. Wagener was born in Germany,
June so, 1883. He did not come to this
country until he had served his time in
the German army, and after arriving
here enlisted in the Union ranks during
the civil war, and the first recollection
of him here was as a soldier stationed
in Oregon. He had no known relatives
in this country except nephew, George
Brandau, who came here about six years
ago, and now owns the Arvidson ranch
at Wilson. Deceased is known to have
made will, now in the keeping of At
torney Catalan of Boise. 1t is surmised
that his wife's niece, Mrs. Jones and her
children are the principal legatses.
His remains we're buried Wednesday
afternoon in the graveyard at Wilson,
such being his request, and that later,
the remains of his wife and daughter
should be removed from Silver City
and laid beside them.
Rev. Archdeacon Jennings came over
from Nampa and conducted the services
