Recently DR.. Southworth went
on little fishing excursion to a
point near the Fay ranch. Short
ly after getting his line in the water
Mike Fay rode up and approached
the doctor something like this:
doc. you might as well try and
catch fish out of a can OF milk as
out OF that stream. Why,
there was never known to be a fish
in that pool" The doctor looked
around with a very disappointed
expression on his face and retorted

Mozv Located In
Ne4v Store.

A. Jensen has about completed
the work of moving his big stock of
goods to the new store and within
few days everything will be run
ming as smooth as clock work.
Gardnerville has reasons to feel
proud of her new store because
there is not another merchand Use
establishment in Nevada that can
compare with it and the proprietor
is commended for his progressive
spirit and unbounded faith in the
future developments of this town.
The store is model of perfection
and elegance in every detail. The
high class goods are displayed in
large show cases in genuine de-
partment store style. Long rows
of counters run the full length of
the store and are loaded down
with mems clothing and the like.
At present the entire upper floor is
devoted to harness, buggies, etc.
but later on other lines of goods
will take the place of the buggies
as they were stored on the upper
floor for lack OF space in the ware
house. The dry goods department
and mems furnishings occupies one
full side of the lower hnor while the
opposite side his heavily stocked
with groceries and hardware. In
order that you moy gain a much
better knowledge of thel magnitude
of the largest merchandise store in
Nevada, step in and inspect this
store the first time you visit Gard

The ascent was a feature OF the annual

A sharp easteriy wind had blown the
rope which connects with the parachute
knife among a mass of cord higher up

The gas was leaking rapidly from the

the history OF the order In New England.

ut is pleasant TO note the ease and en-
thusiasm with which the knight OF
Columbus has caught the spirit or the
nation. We dtlight in his ready assimila-

He need not define his loyalty 20 the
ration and his fealty to the state. The
feats OF bravery displayed by your men,
bers in the late Spanish war and the
patriotic lives of your thousands in time
OF peace describe more eloauently than
human lips the devotion of this order
TO American ideas. II Is indeed pleasant
to reflect that In this country IT is i'm
possible to be a good Knight Of Columbus
without being a good American.
I'VE want to see this spirit, OF Ameri-
canism extend throughout the order and
pcrvade It's very soul. We, want TO see
the Knight OF Columbus stand every

canism. We want to see him stand for
liberality anf federation toward all creeds,
all races, and all colors. Claiming tolera-
tlon for himself he should be the last

to see him stand everywhere for civic
righteousness. for good government In
every city and every state In the repub-
lie. We want his name to be synonymous
with honest administration, anti-boodle
and anti-graft.
I'VE want to see him stand for fair
dealing and upright business conduct In
all his private affairs. We~want him to
be the exemplar OF social cleanliness. the
paragon of righteous living. We want him
to stand ever for sobriety. calm judg-
ment and intelligent discrimination. We
want him TO be the tall TO no mans kite,
nor the bounden serf to any clique or

that question alone, as God has given
him TO see them-without prejudice.
