Worth While.

II is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song.
Bus the man worth while is one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test OF the heart Is trouble.
And 1t always comes with the years,
And h smile that is worth the praises
OF earth
Il the smile that shines through tears.
IL Is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray.
When without or within no voice OF sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But it's only a negative virtue
Until II is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the honor OF
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cynic. the sad. the fallen.
Who had no strength for the strife.
The worlds highway Is numbered today
They make up the sum OF life.
But the virtue that conquers passion
And the sorrow that hides in a smile
1t Il these that are worth the homage or
Garth.
For we n them but once in awhile.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.

When 1907 Statutes Are Due

The local authorities are wondering
why the publication Of the Nevada
Statutes for 1907 is SO slow, and they
are also wondering how to proceed in
cases governed by the laws passed by
the last Legislature unless they have
the Statutes for reference. According
to the following letter received by
Judge Pollock. from Secretary of State
Douglass, it will be several months
before the Statutes for 1907 are ready
for distribution:
Carson City. New, April Is. 1907.
James Pollock. Sparks, Nevada:
Dear Sir-The Statutes for 1907 are
not published yet and will not be nntil
some time in June. We have, how
ever. put your letter on file and will
send you a copy as soon as published
Yours truly.

Proposed New Postal Currency

A detailed plan for the proposed post
age stamp currency which was recon-
mended by the Postmasters' Conven.
ton last year is being published. The
same plan recommended by Assistant
Postmaster John NJ. Hubbard CT Chicago
has been urged by the three last con
ventions and reported upon favorably
by the heads Of the department. at
Washington. but Congress has not act.
ed upon the matter.
1t is proposed to Issue postal currency
to be used in place of stamps for small
remittances. They will be in the fol
lowing denominations: l. 2, 8. 4. 5. 10,
rs and 90 cents.
These can be used for cash in ex'
change for stamps and can be redeemed
at one per cent discount. This redemp'
ton will probably pay for the printing
of the stamps and the other expenses Of
their preparation.
This one per cent discount will be
great saving to some of the large
houses which receive large quantities
Of stamps in payment of bills through
the mails. and have to sell the surplus
at a much heavier discount.
The stamps will not be made a United
States currency. 1t will be a great re
lief to the Postofice Department as well
as to the public from the annoyance Of
postage stamps for small r~emittances.

AN EARLY DAY ADVENTURE
"Big Sim" Needed No ExtraditioI
Papers in Arresting a No
torious Horsethief

The White Pine News tells the fol-
lowing story Of j. B. Simpson ("Big
Sim'), who was one of the pioneers of
Eureka, and about 20 years ago was
deputy sheriff under Matt Kyle, now
United States Surveyor General Of Ne
yada. By the way 'Sim" has been one Of
the fortunate mine owners of Ely. and is
believed to be quite comfortably fixed
financially. having recently bought a
$40, 900 residence In Salt Lake. to which
place he has removed his family.
But regarding the story. The News
locates the scene of the incident at Eu-
reka, but no doubt White Pine was the
place where it occurred. However. this
ia the way the News tells it:
"Sim's capture of a horsethief known
as Spanish Abe was the boast Of Eureka
for many a day. This Spanish Abe

to appropriate stray cattle and the

REFUSE PAY FOR JUNkET TRIP
The State Board Of Examiners
Refuse to Allow Professor
Stubs Expense Account

President Stubs of the Nevada State
University made a trip last January
from Reno to Washington, ID. O. New
York CITY aud other points in the East.
which he claims was in the Interest OF
the University" and retured to Nevada
in March. He figured up the expenses
he had incurred on this jaunt D
found it amounted to s4s7 80 He then
presented the bill to the State Board oil
Examiners for their approval.
The bill presented by the Professor
was evidently itemized, as the items IN
clude tips to porters. ditto to Jani'ors'
Psllman service, hack rides in New
York to ths various points, etc.
The State Board of Examiners con
sists of Governor Sparks. Attorney
General Stoddard and Secretary oil
State Douglass.
Mr.. Stubs says he was sent Eist oy
order OF the Board Of Regents on busi'
ness connected with the University
which included looking after the secur'
ing of a train load Of fuel at Chicago
for the use of the people Of Reno. Id
then proceeded to Washington, New
Haven and Philadelphia in search Of
college professors for the University
He further states that he was absent
but six weeks, and that he was out o.
pocket $500. but only turned in a bill
to the State of s4S7.
The Attorney-Ge General, after review
ing the itemized account. said: "Dr
Stubs was sent East without the per
mission of the State, and l DO not thinl
the expenses should be paid out OF th'
| State Treasury"
Governor Sparks was equally as em
phat C in his opposition to the state de

tore the board, among other things. b.
remarked "If President Stubs want
money for the trip he made after coal
then the expenses of others who wen
on the same mission should be paid"
From present indications it appear
certain that a majority Of the board arr
decidedly against the State paying tn
bill, and it is not at all likely it will re
