morbid dread of dietetic treatment for
relief, that is three-fourths starvation,

they have opened they will probably do
a good business. They are located for

OUR EXCELLENT
MAIL SERVICE.

The only time that the people
of this section of Nevada received
better mail service than that now
in vogue was when the Pony Ex-
press and the overland stages
transacted the business. In the
old days the service was certain if
it was a little slow. Under the
present system there is no GER
tainty of letter ever reaching its
destination, and SO far as second
class matter is concerned it is Just
a toss-up whether it is carried or
not.
Not a week passes that we do
not receive complaints from sub
scribers because they do not receive
the TIMES, for which they have
subscribed. These complaints come
from Goldfeld, Tonopah, Oakland,
Salt Lake, Denver and other
points. The system of mailing
papers from this Office is such that
every subscribers paper goes into
the postoffice here; what then be-
comes of it the Lord only knows,
and whose fault it is that the pa
pers do not reach the subscribers
is something we would like to find
out.
The postoffice department is just
as much responsible for the deliv-
cry of second-class matter as any
other. Newspapers are second
class matter, and when a paper
takes a subscribers money for
subscription it does SO with the
understanding that the goods are
to be delivered by Uncle Sam for
a stipulated price for carriage.
Publishers are DESTROYS of giving
their patrons satisfaction by the
prompt delivery of the news, and
when the department fails to do
this it violates its contract.
Just what the trouble is when
papers and letters go astray, and
who is to blame is hard to find out.
1t is possible that the mail clerks
are overworked; and it is possible
that they are negligent at times
most times.
To get back to the faithful per-
Torrance of duty and the sure de-
livery of mail the people should
petition to have the system re-
sumed of carrying mail by express.
When Wells, Fargo & Co. were in
the mail carrying business. it was
a sure shot that your correspond
ence reached its destination in the
shortest possible time. You could
depend on the service, which is
more than you can do under the
present system.

are amazed at the thickness. Three
layers of skin you know you have,
but knowing how easily a needle
prick will draw blood, you are as
tonished to find what good thick
covering these three thicknesses
make. This saddle is made from
the skin of one man. A woman's
skin, generally speaking, would be
too delicate.
Now, it is not to be supposed
that there is a general trade in
human leather. Human skin is
an exceedingly rare article. Some
times a physician will have a piece
made into a cover for an instrument
case, and occasionally medical stu
dents get enough to be made into a
purse or pair of slippers. Patients
sometimes have a belt or book
cover or some such article made
from limb which has been ampu-
tated. 1t seems a peculiar mind
that would take pleasure in ''souve-
MRS. of this order.
The wearing public are not alone
in their aversion to the use of hui
man skin for the purposes to which
they unhesitatingly put the hides oil
animals. 1t is very hard to get
workn,en to handle the Leather. .
Mr.. Hansell gave his piece of skin,
after it had been tanned, to an ole
workman who had always made uI
all his leather goods, and told hin
to make it into saddle.
Three weeks the workman KEEP
the skin, and one day he broug h
the partly finished saddle to Mr.
Hansell with some question abou
finishing. by the way, Hansell,
be remarked as he was leaving
II wish you would tell me wha
this skin is. 1t is the most con
trary stuff ever worked with; it,
worse than pig or goat skin. -
: Very injudiciously Mr.. Hanse
a informed him that it was huma
: leahter. At that the wo1kma
j dropped the half-finished saddle
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1907-03-07

and left without word. He never
returned, and nothing would induce
him to finish his Job. Mr.. Hansel1,
after waiting three months, hoping
he would change his mind, turned
the unfinished saddle over to an
other workman, but he took good
care not to tell him what kind of
leather the contrary stuff" was.
The work of tanning human skin
is pretty much the same as that of
curing any other skin. Curiously
enough, tattooing goes through the
epidermis to the under skin, and
not little of the tanning of human
skin is done for the purpose of pre-
serving the designs tattooed upon
it, Human skin, may, however,
be tanned with the hair on it, in
which case the epidermis is not
removed. Scalps so tanned are
said to make the best wigs known,
and because the tanning is done
with alum instead of with oils, as
I is the case with furs and most of
the hair-covered skins of COM
merce, the resulting leather is much
more durable. &C. M. Glen Filing

Heresy

Heresy is a fine thing. All the
great thoughts of the world were
once herctical. All of the pro-
gress was heresy. Heresy is re-
volt. And by rebellion only has the
world progressed. Theology is not
morality-not religion. Theology is
superstition. DR., Crapsey has been
expelled from the Episcopal church
because he did not believe that
Christ had no human father and did
not believe he assembled into heaven
in very flesh and blood, carrying
with him human and perishable or
gans as means to immortal life.
The laity are free to disbelieve, but
the clergy not. For the credit oil
the brains of the church, it is to be
hoped that the bulk of its clergy
ought to be expelled, but as its
governors seem to think the literal
belief in the Holy Ghost as faith
er. and the resurrection and ascen'
sion in very flesh and blood, are
part of the rules of the game, o.
course DIR. Crapsey must play &C
cording to rule or quit.
But what has all this to do will
real morality? With right living
and right teaching? What differ
ence does it make in the precept

Francis Marion Hughes, native
of Buncombe county, N. c., came
to California in 1882, locating in
one of the mining districts of Ell
Dorado county. In 1865 he settled
in some part of Idaho. If he is
still living and will communicate
with Edgar Johnson, Fullerton,

Men and Boots

There is more in mans boots
than he is apt to think-apart from
himself. Taking them on the
whole, from tine similarity OF char
acter which his boots bear to him
self it would also almost appear
that there was really some affinity
between them. Here are a few in
stances in support of the theory.
Boots go on feet; so do men.
Boots have soles; so have men.
Boots sometimes get tight; so do
men.
Poor boots are run over; so are
poor men.
A boot will shine, if Polished SO
will man.
A boot to get on needs pull: SO
does man.
Some boots have red tops; SO

and the example of Christ who his
father was? Or whether he ascen-
ded into the clouds in flesh, which
is heir to worms?
Speaking for myself, feel dis
tinct gain in believing that Christ
was very man. He is nearer. His
example is more hopeful and help
full. Men cannot hope to emulate a
god, but what a man has done a
man may hope to do.
AS poor young man of mortal
parents, he is my brother, and more
inspiring than the god who by his
godhead is set apart from me, and
by his godhead deprived of any
credit for his meek, long-suffering
holiness. AS god and son of
God, his life was predestined and
inevitable. AS a brother of the
dust, his life shines as an example
for all time, glorious to himself and
encouraging to me.
l hope the churches will expel all
the Crapseys until at last the resi-
dunn of superstition and foolish
theology which remains can bt
herded together and driven down E
steep place into the sea. Charles

have some men.
Some boots lose their soles; so
do some men.
Some boots are imitation calf; SO
are some men.
Boots are tanned; SO are men-in
their youth.
Some boots can't stand water ;
neither can some men.
When a boot is we'll soaked it is
a hard case; SO is a man.
A boot when old gets wrinkled
and hard; so does man.
A boot to be of much account
must have a mate; so must a
man.
A boot when we'll heeled always
feels comfortable; so does man.
The less understanding there is
in a boot the bigger it feels; so il
is with man.

HUMAN LEATHER

IT is a fact we'll known to a very
few skilled workmen, and not
known at all to the world at large,
that human skin can be prepared,
tanned, and made into durable ar
ticles quite as successfully as can
the skin of our four-footed friends.
You can say over and over again to
Yourself that there is really no rea-
son why human skin should not be
so utilized, and you can be told by
the workmen who handle 1t that
there is nothing gruesome in the
work; you can reason and argue
with Yourself about the matter, and
try to be "mater-of-fact and sensi-
BILE, an still there will be little
shudders running through you anc
creeping up and down your spina

the skin taken from human body

Richmond, Va, March 16. special
to the Titnes-D Dispatch from Norton,

CURED Ii the mines at Greeneborough,
this morning about s o'clock after
several miners had entered the work

ten miners have escaped slightly In:

from the mine and four are known
to be ii the mine and supposed to be
dead. This Ii the first mine explosion
that has ever occurred In the Wise
county coal beds.
The work Of rescue cannot be com
pleted before tomorrow. The ex-
plosion occurred 1900 feet below the
surface and is said to have been due
to insufficient work OF the mine fan
which allowed the gas to accumulate.
