.|NHuMANHY RESENTED
Mine Superintendent Ordered Out OF
Berlin

The Tonopah Sun states that re-
Gently Superintendent Bowen OF the
Nevada Mining Company was ordered
out of Berlin, Nye county, because of
his mean treatment of a widow.
A few nights previous to the meet
ing of the citizens a widow named
Mrs Stevens, who was running
boarding house at Berlin, was burned
out, she and her children barely
escaping from the flames with their
lives, clad only in their night clothes.
The poor woman, was practically des-
titute and had nowhere to go for
shelter When the fire had burned
out she went to Bowen and begged
from him the privilege of renting one
of the cabins owned by the Nevada
company. There were many of these
cabins vacant at the time, but MIR.
Bowen refused to allow the widow to
take one of them, as. he did not hold
any good will for her. The widow
was thus thrown upon the kindness
of her neighbors, who took her in and
clothed and fed her and her children
A day or so after this a meeting O
the citizens was called and it wa:
decided to rid the camp of Bowen
The committee appointed called Oh
Bowen and escorted him severa
miles from town, where they told hin
not to return. No violence was en-
plOyed

TWO SKELETONS
Found in one Grave Makes Sensa-
ton in Ely

Ely has been given its grewsome
sensation over two skeletons found
buried in the same grave. They were
found by two miners on the Mckin-
ley claim. A recent dispatch, how
ever shows that the mystery is
cleared up. 1t says:
Justice Cartwright, together with a
number of officials, attaches of the
sheriff's office and others, made au
examination of the skeleton found by
H. p. Hendrickson and Enos Blood on
their Mckinley claim, one mile south
of the court house, Thursday, for the
purpose of determing if possible the
identity of the man and the cause of
death.
While making an examination OF
the spot another skeleton was uncov-
cred by the officials. This, like the
first one found, had high heeled Mex
lean riding boots on the feet and a
handkerchief around the neck.
While the identity of the bodies
could not be definitely determined, it
is believed they were two Indians who
froze to death near the old slaughter
house eight years ago. These In.
dians were buried in the same grave
at about the point where the skele
tons were uncovered, and one of the
local Indians said that the grave ir
which the Indians were inferred wa.
similar to the one from which tn,
skeletons were removed

THE INDIAN ELEPHANT

This elephant inhabits the wooded
parts of Southern Asia from the
Hinalyas to the Indian ocean and is
found throughout Siam and the Malay
Peninsula. 1t differs from the African
elephant in having much smaller ears,
a concave instead Of convex forehead,
smaller tusks, and in the possession
of a finger on the end of its trunk,
which serves many of the purposes of
human kind.
The tusks are used as weapons, and
to dig and lift. In these parts of the
world he is used as a beast of bur
don
While in wild state, the elephants
wander in bands through the forests,
following their leader from feeding
grounds to water and concern them
selves largely with eating and drink
ing asa escaping from their enemies.
Vines they are tanned they are used
sonse times in circuSes.
The young ones weigh about two
hundred pounds at birth and attain
to over two or scsetimes four times
that much at the age Of thirty years
At sixty an elephant is counted In
his prime, and may live to be hun
dred or even a hundred and fifty years
old. The height Of the elephant varies

THE COYOTE

This species Is more commonly
known IN the western states by the
name of coyote, where's makes night
SO hideous that people unused tolthe
,a un cart seIenades," fell q dismal
1t is in size about halfway between
the red fox and gray wolf. It's color
is similar to that of it, larger relative
OF the plains, but is Of more Yellow
ish cast.
The coyote is an inhabitant Of the
plains and mountains west Of the Mis-.
souri, river, and is Did to be found
from the British possessions south
into Mexico. 1t was formerly very
numerous. but the increase Of popu-
lation and the disposition to hunt.
and destroy it, has greatly reduced
the numbers.
The bison; which was formerly its
prey, having become a1most extinct,
its food supply has been largely cut
off. These coyotes s,lbsfst on any ref
use they can pick up, and are always
found on the outskirts Of settlements
or forts, Sinking here and there, elk
ing out what subsistence they may
by snatching any stray morsel Of
food that comes in their way. In the
southern portion Of it's range, the coy
ote is miserable cur, scarcely larger
than the common fox.

THE KANGAROO

The kangaroos are regarded as
among the most remarkable Of ami
mails. Everything about their habits
is extraordinary. 1t was said by a
visitor In Australia that about twenty
or thirty years ago that they were
as thick to the square mile as jack
rabbits are today and that was i'm
possible to avoid the countless flocks
that swarmed on the island. OF course
things have changed since then but
they are yet good many living about
the island.
The hind legs Of the kangaroo are
powerful weapons. One long claw,
hard as bone, or steel and sharp as a
knife gives him an implement, and
it is sometimes said that he could kill
man or beast with one blow, but an
old fellow has strength enough to

Little boy, little boy, would you go
so soon,
To the land where the grown man
lives?
Would you barter your toys and your
fairy things
For the things that the grown man
gives?
Would you leave the haven whose
doors are set
With the jewels of Loves alloy
For the land of emptiness and re-

Would you go, little boy, little boy?
It's land far off, little boy, little
boy,
And the way it is dark and steep;
And once you have passed through its
] doors, little boy,
You mayn't even come back to sleep
There is no tucking in, no good night
kiss,
No mornings of childhood joy.
It's passion and pain you give for
this,
Think well, little boy, little boy!
Little boy, little boy, can't you see
the ghosts
That live in the land off there;
The broken hearts" flair hopes" all
Dead
Lost faith" and grim despair?a
+ There's train for that land in the
after years,
When old Time rushes in to destroy
The wall that stands tween the JOY
and the tears
So don't go. little boy, little boy!

THE HORSE

Dear Editor:-I will write about the
horse.
The horse is very useful animal
and is used in msny different ways.
In drawing loads. riding, running and
driving. In some parts Of the world
horses are found wild. They have
to be tanned before used Some
horses are trained to perform in shows
Horses are not all of the small color,
some are black, bay, sorrel and others
are gray and spotted.
But they are useful no matter what
color they are. We have Z, two OF
them are ponies. Some horses are
meaner than others. Some will kick,
others won't. like to ride horse
back. Some horses can run fast,
others can't.
Well will close for this time.

The early home of the silk worm
was China
China tried to keep this a secret
but 1t was impossible.
1t was taken into Italy In 1880 and
then in 1922 1t was taken into Ameri-
ca. The leading states in the manu-
facture OF silk are: Massachusetts,,

and his army clear across the state
of New jersey.
Washington managed to get boats
and he crossed the Delaware river
and got across into Pennsylvania.
The British had no boats SO they could
not follow
CORVALLIS was to wait until the
river was frozen over and then cap
ture Washington's army. But Wash
ington did not wait on him. One
Christmas night 1776, he took large
number of boats, the weather was
very cold the river was full Of float
ing ice and great snow storm set
iu. Washington had built a large
camp fire and marched up the river.
Then they got into their boats and
crossed the river Of floating ice. The
Germans at Trenton had been having
a Jolly Christmas and had gone to bed
expecting no danger. Washington
took one hundred Germans prisoners.
There were two Americans killed and
two frozen to death. This was the
first victory won by the American
army.
When Washington was certain that
there would be no more fighting, he
went back to Mt. Vernon. He wanted
to spend the rest of his life there, but
his country needed him. A few years
later he was chosen the President
OF the Uuited States. He was made
president in New York City.
A French gentleman told us how
Washington placed his hand on the
Bible and swore that with the help
of God, he would protect and defend
the United States of America.
Washington was elected president
twice, and the second time he died
One day on the twelfth of December
1893, he went on his horse and rode
over his farm, 1t was a very cold day
the snow was falling, but he stayed
out in it. The next morning he had
the sore throat, he had taken cold
People told him to take medicine but
| he said. "Oh no, never take anything
| for a cold" He kept getting worse
and worse The doctor was called
but it was too late, he knew that the
end was near. His last woraaa were:
81 die hard but am net efraid to 81,
| and 1t is we'll"
| Washington died Dec. IA, 1879. He
was sixty-seven years, nine months
| and twenty-five days old when he
died. He died in Mount Vernon. His
sudden death was a shock to the
country. Every one felt that they hao
lost good and honest friend. TIL,
