An Irish Christmas Night.

Oh, come we'll Irvine the holly boughs
And deck tho house again,
And let the glist'ning berries, red,
Lay 'gainst the window pane;
And when the golden dawn appears,
They'll sparkle in it's light,
Whilst you and I old times recall
That Irish Christmas Night.
Now fix the trailing ivies, dear,
In garlands Dove the door;
And don't forget the mistletoe--
Loves mystic wreathe, stoir!
Hand down the tile from off the shelf,

And generations passed away

OF hunted Soggarth's flight

And Irish Chris tmas Night

And in its rudtly glow

There's grief within my own.

From care and sorrows blight;

Together we havle lived and loved
And shared Life's Joys and tears.
How gladly would We rest US now
Meath Winters snow-dakes. white.

Secret Of Woman's Health.

If the woman of the twentieth CEN
fury is going to give the greater part
of her waking hours to unnecessary
care of her body, she sinks to the level
of the Indian squaws who were the
pets Of the great chiefs hundreds Of
years ago. The squaws We're oiled and
painted and overhung with sharks
teeth and wampum-;they had rings or
their fingers and bells on their toes
What real differences are there between
those fine ladies Of the Choctaws aud
the Iroqiuis and the fine ladies Of to-
day? And yet there echo in the ears
of the modern woman the cry of the
tenement house, the cry of the child
laborer, the cry of all the pressing, un-
solved problems of the home and of the
world-the cry Of her own immortal
soul-the while she dawdles over her
silly face, and grimaces before a mir
ror! The squaw was the nobier wo-
man Of the two. At least, she lived up
to her lights
1.-THE whole beautiflcation'enterpr
is delusive. The woman who scrupu.
lousy regards neatness. who observes
the laws Of health, who does the duty
Of each day as though 1t might be her
last, aud then gives her best efforts 70
making her world better and happier
without much considering her own
complexion-that woman is not only
admirable for her character, but she
is also likely to be far better looking
than her belaced, overdressed, pow
dered, royged, 'cerated,' massaged and
over manipulated sisters"

'Longside our dear ones, ever more,
This Irish Christmas Night.
II. D. Sullivan.
Something Each Day.

Something each day-sl smile,
1t is not SO much to give,
But the little gift of life
Makes sweet the day we live.
Tho world has lone, sad hearts
That We can bless and cheer,
And kind smiles given each day
Make sunshine all the year.
Something each day-a word,
We do not know its power:
To strengthen, guide, to bless
Ev'n to life's latest hour;
What comfort oft it brings
When all is dark and drear!
And kind words given each day
Make pleasant all the year.
Something each day--a thought.
Unselfish, good, and true,
That aids another's need
While we our way pursue,
That seeks to tighten hearts,
That makes life's way more clear,
For helpful thoughts each day
Make happy all the year.
Something each day-a deed
OF kindness and Of good,
To link in closer bond
All human brotherhood.
Oh, thus the Heavenly will
We all may do while here,
For good deeds done each day
Make blessed all the year

WITH THE POETS

Together.
We who grow old together,
Who wander hand IN hand
Through fair and gloomy weather,
By mountains side and strand,
We who share pain and pleasure,
When all is done,
We have life's fullest measure.
The olden songs and Stories
1t is to them we cling.
The olden, golden glories
Successive sunsets fling;
Our handclaps grow the stronger
While we walk through the years;
Our joy is but the longer
For all our tears.
For us is ever glowing
The ruby Of the rose
The echoed summer showing
Across the drift of SHOWS;
AS ashes and as elnber
Tell Of the cheering blaze,
So we old folk remember
The wealth Of days.
We who share all our dreamings
OF gladness we know then,
Know that in fancy's glearnings
Each good hour lives again;
We who face one tomorrow
Know that anear us stays
A sheaf whence we may borrow
Our yesterdays.
We who grow old together
| We have so much to share
OF calm and lusty weather,
OF clouded days and fair;
The sunset shade grows neetcr,
The twilight has begun,
But if life has been the sweeter
When all is done.

To a Duluthian in tho South.

To a DuIuthian in the South.
Where the tropic flowers grow, L
From the wind that bites to the mar
And the binding, whirling snow?
You swore in your frosted muller
Rubbing your hard, white ear
That never another winter
Would find you shiverlng here!
When you fought up hill to the car
line
In the bowling blizzard's clutch
Would you ever put up with weather
Like this again? Not much!
You cursed all the race OF urclins
When your feet flew out and you lay
Sprawled on the icy sidewalk
While the hobs dashed on their way.
When the wind that hurled agains,
you
Grabbed the breath from your
:. mouth
You made up your mind next winter
You'd be in the Sunny South.
You've enough of the northern cold
With its gales and snow and ice
And so YOU are reveling southwark
Where the weather's warm and nice.
Why-a rose just under your window
Is nodding to you today
While we muff1e in fur-lined garments;
Where the blizzard shrieks at play!
But you're sick for the swirling snow
storm
Where the great, big winds are free
Your cheek is wan for the tingling cold
OF the nortllland-don't tell me!
You're missing the jingling sleigh
bells;
Your insipid comfort pals:
Your soul for the hardy homeland
Aches when the blizzard calls!
The stanes and broom and snowshoes.
The skis and skates and sleigh
The sting of the rough NORTHEASTERN
Are calling you home today.
Home the keen, cold winter
Tingling the blood in your veins.
From the scented, soulless breezes
Idling through southern lanes.

FAMOUS CLIFF HOUSE BURNED
Americas Best Known Resort and
Great Attraction TO Tourists

San Francisco, Sept. The famous
Cliff House of this city. San Francisco's
first attraction for tourists. was burned
to the ground this evening. Fire broke
out in the building about 4:45 o'clock
and an hour later blackened heap Of
ruins was all that remained of the
historic structure. The house was built
of wood and famed by the lively ocean
breezes. the flames made such headway
before the nearest fire company ar
rived that it was realized that the place
was doomed, and more attention was
paid to saving adjoining property than
to the burning building. The Cliff
House had bsen closed for some time,
as the new lessee, John TAFT, was re-
modelling the interior. Workmen were
about the place until noon aud then
departed for the day. How the fire
started is a mystery.
This was the second Cliff House to be
destroyed by fire. The building which
was burned to-day was erected about 80
years ago by Adolph Sutro of Sutro tun-
mel fame. 1t was owned by the Sutro
estate and was valued at $4,000. TAFT
estimates his loss at $50, 900, on which
there is $35, 900 insurance.
The Cliff House was ranked as one of
the best know resorts of America. Lo-
Gated on a rocky promontory beyond
the Golden Gate, directly above the
lashing waves of the Pacific ocean. and
affording a close view of the seals dis.
porting on the rocks near the shore, it
was strong attraction for visitors, and
from its broad porches hundreds of
thousands of people obtained their first
view of the mighty waters. The mag
nificent Sutro baths nearby were not
damaged.

ness Bonanza

The Northern Hotel at Ely has paid
in eight months since it was establish
ed $62. 900 net. or at the rate of nearly
5000 month.
The Northern saloon at Goldfield
pays $4,000 month net.
Both establishments are owned by
"Ole" Elliott and TEX" Richard.
The Northern Hotel. building aud
furnishing. cost $4,000. Itisexpected
that the business of the next four
months will amount to enough, when
added to the S62. .O0o already made. to
repay the original investment. In
other words, the Northern Hotel at Ely
pays its proprietors at the enormous
rate of one hundred per cent.
The Northern saloon cost, 500. 600.
and, with a monthly return of $50. 900,
the owners derive from it an income of
800 per cent year.
OF course luck plays its part more or
less in every extraordinary successful
business enterprise. but there is no
question that the wonderful results
achieved by Elliott aud Rickard are
largely due to their energy and popu-
larity.

DRILL FOR OIL NEAR HAMILT TON
Company Organized to Develop
Oil Prospects About Fifty
Miles East of Eureka

The recent oil discoveries near the
Moorman ranch at Illipah, will be ex.
plotted by the Nevada Home Oil Com.
pany, 81. 100000 corporation that was
promoted by J. Aaron Iugalls, the
olin9house mining man. and J. NJ.
Anderson of Reno. The new company
controls about 5000 acres of oil-bearing
territory in the vicinity of the Norman
and Rosevear ranches.
Mr.. Ingalls, and associates have se-
cured an option on all the valuable oil
ground in the country, and under the
provisions of the agreement they must
display good deal of activity at Illi-
pah during the coming year.
The holdings Of the company have
been surveyed aud the preliminary
work necessary to hold the ground has
been completed. Ingalls has agreed to
expend $50. 900 during the next year
in developing the oil lands, and to show
that they mean business it is only nec-
essary to state that they have already
ordered several drills, which will be put
to work there.
Clarence Norman first became cog

that possessed excellent surface indica-

Moorman later sold half interest in
the claims to H. @. and J. L. Herrick,
Ell Millard e. Son and Theodore Center.
The remaining half interest is held by
Clarence and w. o. Moormau of this
city and George Hagaman, the mail
contractor on the Ely Eureka stage
route.
When the company was organized the
local people were awarded $50, 900 shares
of stock, and Ingalls, showed his faith
in the ground by taking an option ON
this entire lot Of stock for $l00, ,000
The option runs for year aud the bill
Of sale has been placed in escrow in one
of the local banks.
Mr. Iugalls has had numerous samples
taken from the surface near Illipah,
tested in Reno and San Francisco, and
the result indicates the existence of oil.
The oil oil occurs in shale formation
aud the odor of petroleum eau be de-
tected iu the specimens by scratching
the rock with a knife until heat has
been generated.
Messrs. Iugal,s aud Anderson arrived
here from Reno about a month ago aud
without informing any one Of their in
tentions proceeded to Illipah to invest
gate the report of the supposed oil find.
They spent several days at the Moor
man ranch, looking over the location
and taking samples, and were convinced
that the section offered excellent in
ducement for the development of oil

Checking Up Public Land Fencing

Special agents for the Government are
looking over territory in Carson Sink to
ascertain whether any public lands had
been fenced by cattlemen. According
to report the agents found in several in
stances that large areas Of land had been
fenced and that public lands were
claimed by cattlemen and others in that
section. In addition to the Government
ordering all fences torn down, it is
claimed that a Federal Grand Jury
may be called for the purpose Of investi-
eating the matter and probably indict-
ing the offenders. The investigation
will extend to other parts of Nevada.

to be overcome. He predicted that this
thornless cactus would become the great
fodder Of the arid region for all kinds
of stock relish it and fatten quickly.
About 200 tons can be grown per acre,
an extraordinary output compared with
other kinds of feed. The development
of the high nutrition is being assiduous-

men will soon have some important
news from the wizard. A delegate
asked Burbank If he had q secret Of de-
veloping plant life and IL the secret
would die with him. Burbank replied
that he had no secret and that he is
