To tell what man was, after
be is dead, is to remind the pub
lie Of what they have missed or
lost. To point out good mettle
combined with good habits, and
best endeavor while the man is
still young and active, is to light
the way to what is best, and let
the public open up its avenues of
usefulness and be responsible for
the destinies it moplds. In speak,
ing Of things done by one man we
take nothing from the merits CT
another who may be equally prom

take measure of him7elf and his

and the reasons why success may

the sum total of their daily grind.

to do what the mind thinks or
evolves, making theories match
material in practical work that is a
service to human kind, with the
quickening aid of machinery and
steam and electricity to save time
and annihilate distance, it is pos
sible for a man of mettle to come
into broad and ar-reaching use-

great amount of work while he
is i'll his thirties, to accomplish
vastly more during his forties,
and from commanding position,

Will the bull pen" tactics which
worked so much disaster in the

repeated in Goldfield? This is
what interested observers of the
military occupation OF Nevada's Ell
Dorado are asking
With eight companies of Uncle
Sans regulars encamped near the
mines and rapid fire guns mounted
here and there, it looks as though
desperate measures were contem-
plated, despite the fact that, so far
there has been less cause for ex-
treme offensive precautions than
in most strikes. Is the ounce of
prevention" which the troops are
supposed to represent developing
into capital operation" people

SANS NO EAGLE

A dark cloud which gradually as
sumed identity as the features of
Sam, city hall janitor, was seen to
spread over the top of the city hall
this morning. Pedestrians stopped
and wondered what was about to
happen. When Sam first stuck his
head out of one of the alcove win
dows his face was all black except
where his teeth showed. He
grasped a flying rope and then
swung astraddle the flagpole. He
was doing mighty fine getting the
loose rope into place when : the
wind came up and Sam, clinsing to
the slender flagstaff, was waved
about in the breeze.
1t was easy enough for Sam to
get into his perilous position, but
quite another thing for him to
come out of it. He chung to the
pole many minutes. all the time get
ting whittier and whittier. He won
dered if he would get back to terra
firma by the time the armada
reached the coast. His predica-
ment was noticed by people onlIthe
street who rushed into the city hall
and notified officials. But before
they reached the attic of the BALD
ing Sam had cast caution to 1.-THE
winds and shutting his eyes 'slid
back to safety-but didn't succeed
in fixing the guy-rope. Just how
this rope can be fixed has been the
principal topic of conversation
among city hall employees all day.
