THE STORY.


r HERE was but one topic Of CONVEX
j sation In all Israel and that was
concerning the youth from Bethlehem
who had killed Goliath, the terrible
Philistine giant, who for weeks had
held the army Of Israel In abject fear
and terror. Jonathan listened eagerly to
his armor bearer as he told him the
story, while they hastened on in pur-
suit of the fleeing Philistines. iona,
than had not been with the army at
the time but summoned hastily to his
command when the pursuit of the
Philistines had been taken up so un-
expectedly, he had eagerly responded
and was now pressing forward as rap
idly as possible. And for the first
time now ne was hearing from his
armor bearers lips the story of the
wonderful exploit Of the simple covn-
Try lad, who had come into the camp
Of Israel the day before Just when the
Philistine champion had come out and
was defying the army OF Israel and
blashpheming the name Of Israel's
God Aroused by the sight, the youth
had demanded to know why some one
Of the warriors OF Israel did not 60
out to night against him in the name
Of The God Of Israel. and when he
Learned there were none strong or
brave enough to battle with % faerce

Of two souls whose intense pas
sion was the possession Of
goodness and the fulfllIment OF

The world has never before or
since known more beautiful or
remarkable friendship than that
J Of David and Jonathan, 4 friend
ship which endured through the
most trying vicIssitudes OF life
and which continued even after
, the tragic death Of Jonathan.
There are minor conditions
which may account In part for
this extraordinary attachment

similarity Of age and tempera-

but deeper and more important
than all these were the two
chief reasons assigned-the pas.
sion for goodness and the de-
sire to see the will Of God done.
Yes, there are friendships,
strong and enduring az far az
this life goes, which are estab-
Iished solely upon human con-
ditions, upon mental and physl-
cal slmiIaritles, upon social or
business convenience and profit,
but the truest friendships arc
those which are based upon the
moro enduring principles, such
as the desire for goodness and
the wish to do Gods will.

Analyze the motives which
govern your friendships. Are
they based on purely selfish mo-
tIves, or the superficial condl-
tIons OF life, or do they strike
the roots down deeper In tho
soil Of Gods eternal purposes.
Do we form human ties because

desire for goodness like unto

to find In another the help and

Misunderstanding recent events
seem to have set at rest all Idea of
war at the present time between
Japan and the United States, there
ts little doubt that the situation has
been viewed by both governments in
the most serious light. That Japan
in her diplomatic notes had assumed
a tone of arrogance. seemingly calcu-
lated to arouse American resentment,
~ admitted, and the gathering of the
mighty feet to carry the stars and
stripes to the far Pacific is uAdoubt-
eddy looked upon by the world as a
dignified warning to the eastern en-
pire that the patience of the United
States has limit.
Looked for War at Once.
When the announcement was made
that the navy department had de-
cided to send the Atlantic feet to the
Pacific a well known navy officer
was asked what, In his opinion, would
be the outcome of this oversee trans
fer Of 16 battleships. THE chances
are" he said, that Japan will seize
the Philippines and declare war be-
fore the feet has been one week at
sea. The serious blunder was made
when the battleships that were sta
toned out there were withdrawn. In
stead Of Withdrawing them the force
should have been gradually but I'M
obtrusively augmented"
These are the 16 battleships OF the
Atlantic fleet which the government
will send around the Horn into Pacific
waters. The fleet as a whole is the
most formidable one that Is now gath
cred under any one flag In any waters
Of the world.

CHINA NEWYEARS
USHUERED- In
MANY FIRE CRACKERS
AN MUCH "KI-YI-ING. -
Record the Passing of an Old Year
and the Entrance of a New in the
Calendar of tn, Chinaman.

Winncmucca is particularly fortun
ate in the number of occasions in
which a nSw year festival is eeebrat-
cd, in this town. Three New Year =
are celebrated in Winnemucca every
calendar year and can be classified as
follows: The Hartman, New Year IS
the Peoples New Year IS and the Chi.
nesc New Year's.
The latter celebration is just
now in progress, and in part in
the manner of its demonstration
it resembles the demonstration
common to the other New
New Years. A pandemonium of
noise seems to be the. general concep-
tion of New Years TIE railroad
boys make it with their thousands of
pounds of compressed steam driven
through narrow aperture; the peo-
pie make it with fish horns, tin cans
and fire crackers. the Chinese ma se
it with brass cymbals, a cowhide drum
and firecrackers.
And thus it is that, today being the
first day in the calendar year of the
Cinnamon, Chinatown is decked. in
holiday attire, and the explosion of
frecraekers altornates with the loud
beating of the drum and cymbal. The
new year was sgnally opened. last
night at IL O'Clock when the people of
the town were awakened by the ter
rifle. noise.

new year an occasion of hilarity, the
Chinese also attach religious sig-
nificanee to it. Donations are made
by the yellow men to their church,
and to their god. These donations are
used in the purchase of costly viands
and ornaments which are presented to
the god. A list of the donators and
the amounts they give are tackled
up on the wall of the Joss house go
that they may be seen by the God
when he comes to, eat of the. viands
and accept the presents. Large do
nations are believed to put the donor
in good light with the god, or to ex-
press it in English, Dame Fortune
gauges her smile upon the respective
donators by the amount they put up;
the bigger the donation the larger
the smile.
Although of religious significance
the New Years season with the
Chinese is also one of general good
fellowship and the occasion for the
exchange of friendly greetings. They
pass their cards around TO I'll their
friends, wishing them the compliments
Of the season. They make it IN occa
sion of general treating" not only
to members of the race but to all
alike, no matter what the color of his
skin or the cut of his clothes. This
fact can no doubt be attested 10 by
some of the local sports who pass up
cigar stands for month after Chine c
New Years.
The Chinese calendar has been
kept for 5000 years 1t is based on
the solar movements, and their New
Years comes not on specified day

our Easter Sunday is rcckoned. Ev.

DEVELOPMENT
ON THE PARADISE
VALLEY COPPER PROPERTY
G. A. Van zsndt. Bomber of the Mines,
Says More Development Work
Will be Prosecuted.

G. A. Van Zandt of Butte, Montana,
who has Bonded the Paradise copper
property cf George Ward 's, returned
yesterday from trip to the Valley
in company with G. G.. Hewitt, a
mining capitalist of Colorado Springs.
Mr.. Hewitt and Mr. Van ZaIdt spent
two days looking over the copper
mines and the latter states the inten-
tion is to prosecute further develop
ment work. Further shaft sinking
will be done. and series of crosS cut
ting tunnels will be run.
The showing already secured by
the preliminary work last spring is
of highly encouraging nature, but
the bontier of the property is desirous
of knowing in so far as possible just
what is the true magnitude of the de-
posits of the brown metal:
We have some good shipping ore
in sight and could ship row., says
Mr.. Van Zandt,. but before sh pments
are made we want to first see to our
satisfaction what we have
The average cost Of transportation
and smelling of the copper there
would run from $15 to $18 ton. The
cost of smelling copper is determined
sometimes by the amount Of silica in
the ore. That copper is comparatively
free from silica. The country is cal
.carous shale and cherry limestone
with basic eruptive.
. Mr.. Van Zandt after few days in
Winnemucca will leave shortly for
Butte, where he will be bone for abont
month. He will then return equip
ped and prepared to extend the de
velopment en- the mines. m
These properties are situated about
