There will be banners with quaint
devices. But, oh, listen. The par
ade will be preceded BY twenty pieces
of music. The Tonopah band has
donated its services for the day, and
W. s. Johnson has given the band
from the Casino. Mr.. johnson has
done more than this. He has bought
100 tickets besides.
So much music and merriment,
with colors and crooked lines, with
buffoonery and burlesque, with quips
and joshes, the plumed birds and
the antlered herds will proceed along
the line of march.
The line Of march will be along
Main street and across Main to the
other side; then back again to this
side; along Main street to Upper
Main and out to the ball grounds.
All day yesterday the birds and
beasts were tasking their brains in
the effort to beat each other. Both
sides fell into poetry, and the things
that were said in verse were some
thing awful. The Elks got out a
dodger with a yellow streak running
down the center, and here is what
the yellow streak had to say:
"The colors you boast, the red, white
and blue

Sound the alarms, beat the drums,

The great day is at hand.
This is the day that the Eagles and
the Elks cross bats, cross lots,- cross
Anything, everything in the highly
I tentertaining and instructive game OF
doing one another as the other
would.
Out on the heights the battlefield
is waiting. 1t will have to wait until
o'clock. and then it will be sorry
that 1t waited. For then the armies
of the earth and the sky will have
met and the blasts of the mines will
be as frecrackers to the noise of the
battlefield.
This will be the greatest game of
baseball ever played anywhere in the
world.
Fifty thousand dollars will change
hands on the result Of the game. One
passed ball might mean fifty thou
sand dollars. The balls come high
in Tonopah. but Tonopah is used to
high balls and is not thinking OF
that just now. What Is Fifty thou
sand dollars to the honor Of winning
game like the one of today?
Amere bagatelle. Poof!
There will be doing all morning.
1t is shame to say what the Eagles
are going to do TO the Elks at II

Big birds! Big Bisds!
Ball players are we;
Just watch the Elks
After the game,
We will get a bunch
They won't know their name. !
And then came the Elks:
"Ta, ia, ia,
Who are we?
We're the Elks,
Can't you see?
Big bucks, brave bucks,
Play ball?
Not at all
The Eagles-oh. shucks!'
That is supposed to shiver the
feathers right of the birds. But the
birds all went to bed early, to dream
Of something new to hand to the
antlers when they get up in the morn
ing. Tonight will be too late for
dreams. ,
Early this morning there will be a
trainload of Eagles and Elks coming
over to see how their fellow birds
and beasts fare. And they will bring
along some of that fine dust to throw
in the eyes of the Elks. There will
be still some of that $50, ,00O left to
get small bet from. The banks
stayed open until midnight and the
poolrooms are open yet.
They are coming from Manhattan
and Millers, and they have had spec
iai wires put in at Rhyolite to hear
the first news.

pulled him buck on the wharf.
"Washamalla you, John? I no takee

The Chinese shook loose the inspect

Our Lost Sense.

One Of the greatest discoveries. of
physiology is that we once had s,six
senses. What the lost sense was, no
one knows, and probably no one will
ever know, but that our forefathers
possessed it there is no doubt, for
the remains Of that part Of the, brain
in which 1t resided are still to be- Seen
in any one of us. These remains
are simply small and now perfectly
useless little mass of brain substance
called the pituitary body. 1t consists
of two tiny little oval lobes Joined
together and lying In little cavity
of the skull, strangely named the sella
turcica and situated over and behind
the nose. 1t is quite positive that 1t
may have enabled our foyafathers to
see in the dark before lamps and can
dies were invented, or 1t may have
placed them in communion With ghosts
and fairies, or 1t may have been an
organ that enabled them to 60 home
in bee line when they lost their way
in the primeval forests. On the other
hand, 1t is possible that 1t was a bad
substitute for vision or smell or hear
ing and died out when the improved
sense organ developed.

Satisfied Her Curiosity.

A certain south side lady has come
to the conclusion that curiosity can no
longer be INDUCED in with any degree
of safety. One night she entertained
group Of friends and at the moment
of departure. when conversation al
ways lags trifle, her eye fell idly on
package carried by one of the men.
what is it you have there?" she
asked, with hardly n thought Of what
she was saying.
"Well.' said another guest, springlng
forward, with mock Indignation, off
he's going to be searched, feel that
all of us should be subjected to the
same indignity.''
ooh, l." commenced the hostess, her
face fiushing-"I give you my word
that
~ can prove the ownership of this
watch" cried one man.
This was my mothers ring" eX-
planned another. And SO it went down
the line until the laugh came just
in time to save the life of the hostess.
Hereafter one of her guests can
walk off with the grand piano and be
free from remark.-Kansas City In

How 10 Shoot a Rather

The writer once saw an Indian kill
rattlesnake in very peculiar man.
ner. The RATHER was about ten feet
from the Indian, who was resting the
rifle on his knee, apparently taking aim.
Whenever he moved the weapon few
inches the snake would move around
and get exactly in line with it. Then,
to show how the thing was done, the
Indian moved about the snake in cir
Gle, and the reptile moved as If its tail
were on pivot, always keeping Its
head and body in line with the gun.
The Indian then agreed to bandage his
eyes and shoot the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indians eyes,
and, holding the gun by his side at
arms length, the latter pulled the trig-
ger, and the ball entered the snakes
mouth and passed the whole length of
Its body. "How do you take aim?" was
the query. 1.-The snake, he takes aim,"
was the reply. We have talked with
an old hunter on this proposition, and
he claims that n rattlesnake will al
ways range directly in line with gun
or stick pointed Mt it.-Exchange.

Perpetual Motion crank..

In the days of the MayhOwer the
first perpetual motion inventors took
out their patents for Engines which
being put in order will cause and main
teyne their own mocions with continu-
ance and without any borrowed force
Of man, horse, wind, river or brooke"
and in the last century they have ap-
piled for about 900 patents which are
based chiefly on the force Of gravity,
loss of equilibrium, specific gravity Of
floats and weights immersed in water
or other liquid, accession of receptacles
inflated with air or gas under water,
compression and subsequent expansion
Of gases and of the surface tension Of
liquids. So sanguinely hopeful are
these ingenious designers that in many
cases they provide brakes to stop their
machines If necessary or to prevent
any dangerous increase of speed. The
care and thought expended on the prln-
ciple and detail of many of the inven-
lions demonstrate that many men of
mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successfully solv-
ing the problem.

Cat. as Retriever..

"It is claimed" said Chicago an
tquary, "that cats may be trained as
retrievers-trained to swim to your
slain birds and bring them back to
you in their mouths. The thing sounds
Incredible, but look here"
He held up the photograph of an
ancient Egyptian painting. Men with
spears rode on the Nile. In some Of
the boats large cats sat on their
launches in the stern. while toward
others several cats swan with dead
birds In their mouths.
This picture" said the antquary.
''proves that the Egyptians used cats
for hunting dogs. If they, why not
we? The original of the picture is in
the British museum. where there are
also several pieces Of carving that dis
play the cat in the role of retriever"

Where Hat Straw Come, From


In Italy to raise straw employed in
making hats the wheat is sown as
thickly as possible in order that the
growth of the plant may be impover-
ished as well as to produce thin
stalk having toward the end from the
last knot the llghtest and longest
straw. The wheat blooms at the be-
ginning of June and is pulled up by
the roots by hand when the grain is
half developed. If allowed to remain
in the ground a longer time the straw
would become brittle. About five doz-
en- uprooted branches the size Of the
compass Of two hands are firmly tied
together into little sheaves and slowed
away in barns. Then the straw Is
again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach in the sun.
After additional bleaching the straw
iseput into small bundles and classified.
Finally it is cut close above the first
joint from the top and again tied up
in small bundles containing about six
ty stalks each and delivered to women
in almost every private dwelling Of
the poorer classes.

Snake. a. War Weapon.,

When Hannibal, the great Cartha-
ginian, was fighting Eumenes Of Per
gamos with a feet of very inferior
strength he hit upon an artitice which
would scarcely be sanctioned by the
laws Of what we are pleased to call
civilized warfare. He discovered by
means of bogus message Under flag
of truce on which ship the king was.
He then caused poisonous snakes to be
inclosed in earthen jars. These he dis
tributed among several slips and or
dered them to close up on the kings
galley. In the melee that followed
the jars were flung on to the Leck. The
curious bombs We're greeted at first
with rldicule, which soon CHI. nged to
panic when the nature Of their contents
made itself manifest. The galley was
extricated from the fight Us soon as
possible, and the captains of the others,
believing that the king had taken flight,
followed suit, with the result that Han
nibal gained a complete victory.
