IT WAS THEN BEGUN THE sHooTIN'.

Well, the biddin' started lively, and it
got TO sittin' hot,
Fer every mind in Cactus on that sim
gle thing was sot.
Purity soon I'd staked my saddle, worth
two hundred dollars net,
Just to own fer one short second that
blamed drug store toilet set.
1t was then begun the shootin', no one
seems to know jest how,
And twas lack of ammernition that at
last broke up the row,
And thirteen of US was hurried, but the
worst blow that we met
Was in findin' that some bullets had
gone through that toilet set.
But we plugged the punctures in it, and
we plugged the wo.aded, too,
And agreed we'd arbitraes It, and the
bunch ID see it through,
So we sent a gift committee, but they
@ame back c>-er yet,
Fer4Ee teacher ID fIuttered eastward,
so We have that toilet set.

CHRISTMAS NEAR THE POLE.

81 think Christmas, 1883, was my
most memorable one," said General
Greedy, the artic explorer. with my
command 1 was proceeding southwark
in the hope of obtaining help, and
about the Goth of October we en-
scOnced ourselves in a little hut at
Cape Sabine. Our supply of food was
running very low, and we were ON
very short r%ations, every one being al
lowed just food enough in each TWEEN
ty-four hours to sustain life. Under
these depressing circumstances and
amid the awful silence of the polar
night the c~heerfu1ness that we contin-
ued to maintain was remarkable.
christmas day came at last-Christ-
mas in the arctic regions! At 6 o'clock
we had our breakfaSt-thin soup made
of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes.
Our Christmas dinner was served at /
O'clock-irst course, a stew Of seal
meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and
~breadcrumbs; second course, served
n hour after first, a stew Of raisins,
blubber and milk; dessert, a cup Of
hot chocolate. One of our party had
some tobacco still left, and he very
kindly made a cigarette for each one
in our little party.
Il will wager that in all Christen-
dom that day not another present was
given Or received that gave such in
tense delight to the recipients as did
those little rolls Of tobacco and paper.
They were quickly a1ame and being
pulled away at for dear life. and thus

were i-ntroductions, and many Of
these were 0 needed. But the men
from Los Angeles found themselves
at home; thoroughly at home aid
well content with such a home.
Then after awhile. Harry Sheldon,
president of the board OF trade.
called everybody to order and made
a neat address to the visitors and III.
troduced r. p. Dunlap. the president
OF the Mizpah club.
Mr.. Dunlap, in well chosen words.
bade the visitors welcome. He gave
a rap here and there, dropped a hum
orous remark and anon a bit of sen
timent, and was then all seriousness.
lie thanked the visitors for coming
and extended to them the welcome
from Tonopah.
Gilbert S. Wright, chairman of
the party, responded. He said that
he had not only forgotten his ges-
lures but his speech also. 1t was
his providence t. work rather than
to talk; and he was shy for words
when it came to thanking the peo-
pie of Tonopah for their royal well
come. lie was sorry, he said, that
they had been so long coming, but
that they would not be so long in
the future. He then introduced
Frank G. Tyrrel, attorney at law,
and the orator of the party. Mr..
Tyrrell made a brilliant address,
which was punctuated by frequent
applause. lie said in part:
We begin to feel some n of
resentment against You Nevada fell
lows, for we have a suspicion which
is rapidly growing into n conviction,
that you prepared for this reception;
that you did 1t on purpose; that 1t
was intentional. 1t has been won-
derful, this reception has been ac-
corded to us all through the land.
There is such a feeling that goes
with IL, such a generous outburst of
love, that II regenerates. rejuvenates
us, and makes IN old guy like Carl
Leonard feel like a kid.
1T Is. like the two lrishmen who
went through a church, and were
awed by the beauties and grandeur
of all that they saw, and when they
emerged. they looked up at the
steeple In furnishing gold, and one
says to the other in a whisper: 1t
beats hell And the other answered
That's the intention
We'll, our reception is just like It.
It beats he'll; and We are constrained
to the belief that that was the in
tention. We are In the mother of
the mining camps Of southern Ne
vada, and | understand that you have
just celebrated the seventh anniver-
sary of Its discovery. Seven is a per-
feet number, and Tonopah is q per-
feet success. You have a wondrous
record: you have a wonderful future
before YOU. You are going on and
going on, and no force can stop you.

Roosevelt. When as a schoolboy he
was down for n recitation. His
theme was Marco Bozarris. Ncl

go and do it. This was what the
men of Los Angeles had done. They
had not sent their representatives,
themselves of the Importance of the
country. He was sure that the trip
had been a profitable as we'll as an
instructive one, and that it would
result in the lettering of the com
mercial relations between the south
ern sections of the two states.
Douglass White, newspaper man,
war correspondent and raconteur
and head of the advertisement de-
partment of the Salt Lake road, was
the next representative of the Los
Angeles people. Brilliant and spark
ling, witty and wise, Doug" soon
had his audience going. He had been
introduced as the story-teller of the
party, and he sustained his reputa-
ton in that respect, and then switch
ed into serious talk, apologizing for
doing SO; but he made the kind of
talk that all wanted to hear, and
his apology was readily accepted.
"The Clark road" said he, sis In
this country to stay, and is coming
along to Tonopah just as fast as men
and material will bring 1t. Already
the whistles of it's locomotives can be
almost heard in Goldfield. We are
on the way, and barring accidents,
the tracks will be completed into
that city in less than sixty days; and
before that time, the grading win be
well under way toward Tonopah. 1t
is, perhaps, unnecessary to take up
your time in telling you what it
means to have a competing road in
a country like this. You know with
out me telling you, and you are in
no greater hurry to have us in here
than we are to get u road COM
pleted."
Mr.. White was frequently APP
%plauded, and was given quite an ova-
ton at the conclusions of his re-
marks.

were regaled with light refresh
ments, which were much appreciated
as they were timely and ~appetizing.
The reception was voted a great suc-
cess. and the best of feeling existed
between hosts and guests. The ar
rangements for today's entertain
ment were made. The visitors will
meet at the Mizpah at 9 o'clock this

business men-a tale from the Arab
ian Nights. It was all so simple,
looking backward for seven years.
The work of plodding, prospecting,
promoting, days and nights of hopes
and dreams; the turning down of
properties by experts; the humilia-
ton of appeals to capital-all these
were not in the vision Of the visitors,
as they gazed rapt on the view be-
fore them.
And then came Tonopah. The de-
pot was crowded with men and wo-
men. There were "hi- his" for the
men from Los Angeles, there were
cheers, the screaming of whistles,
the chew, chew and the honk, honk
of automobiles. AS the Los Ange-

They knew not where they were go

They cared less, for they knew
they were in the hands Of friends.

The reception to the business men of Los Angeles was another
instance of the manner in which things are done in this country.
The reception and the arrangements for the entertainment of the
guests we're put through in an incredibly short time. Credit to
Harry Sheldon, president of the board of trade; credit to r. p.
Dunlap. president of the Mizpah club; credit to the man behind
the guns.
The busiest man for Tonopah; busiest at both ends of the line
was w. P. OMeaTa. Mr.. oMeara was one of the boosters at Los
Angeles, and when the time was ripe, got busy with the wires to
Tonopah. II was he who informed MS of the high character of the
men who were coming to visit us, and inspired us to prepare for
their coming. He saw the travellers safely to Goldfeld and then
came hither as the advance guard, and to take his place on the
reception committee which had been appointed to receive the
southrons. He did good work while he was here and helped by
hi. information and by his suggestions to make the reception the
big success that II was.
