But, HE SAVED THE
BABY
ROY TROUSDALE AND HIS
INFANT CHILD AND HARRY
PEARCE IN A RUNAWAY
With the Child in His Arms the For
mer Jumps from the Rig and It
Rolls out in the Grass, Most
Luckily Unhurt

A runaway accident that resulted IN
no further disaster than demolished
buggy, occurred in the fields below
towa yesterday afternoon. That no
further disaster attended the runaway,
was due to the rare presence of mind
fnd the agility of Roy E. Trousdale,
one of the occupants of the runaway
rig.
Mr.. Trousdaie and Harry Pearce
were out driving and Mr. Trousdale
was taking his baby out for a ride and
had the little one in his arms when
the accident occurred.
vaguero was running horses in the
field, and while chasing an animal that
wanted to turn hack, he accidentally
ran into the buggy team and frighten-
ad them and they started to run away.
Headlong they dashed over bumps ord
stumps in the uneven field. Mr..

was with the baby in his arms, and
the possibility, even probability, that
any moment the overturning of the
rig would result in the death of the
child and perhaps his own serious
injury, the latter grasping the little
one tightly to his breast gave a jump
out of the rig.
He fell hard. but managed to alight
on his back and the baby rolled out
of his arms on the grass unhurt, with
the exception of little dirt that had
gotten into It's eyes.
Net minute too soon was the jump
made, for scarcely had Mr.. Trousdale
regained his feet before he saw the
runaway team swerve rapidly to one

the animals kick themselves loose from

wagon tongue attached to them.

WINNEMUCCA SCHOOLS
Utters Words of Praise and Points out
Some Needs of the Institution
Says University of Nevada
is Becoming a Leader

Prof. j. f. Bray of Reno visited the
Winnemucca High school yesterday
and departed for his home this morn
ng. Prof. Bry's visit was in the the
interest of the University of Nevada
/ He travels over the state visiting the
various high schools, keeping in close
touch with them for the mutual adj
+ versity.
Prof. Bray, in speaking of the con-
dition of the Winnemucca High school
to Silver State man, spoke very high
ly of that institution and compliment
ed the town on the efficiency of the
teachers.
At the same time he called atten-
tion to the fact that one thing that
is greatly needed by the school is a
good laboratory After the present
year. he said, the University of Neva
da would require that high school stu
dents who enter the university shall
have taken course in chemistry.
He stated that moderate expendi-
ture for a laboratory would place the
school in position so its students
could enter the university, and at the
same time increase the interest of the
students while here at home.
The professor states that the lack
of a laboratory for WORK In physics
and chem 'stry is very great draw
back to boys, many of whom cannot
see anything in school studies for them
when deprived of these facilities.
lie expressed the hope that the
authorities would see their way clear
in the near future for putting in a
full business department for the ben
eft of pupils who are desirous of fit
ting themselves to compete with 9th
ers in the business world.
This is a feature which Professor
Brandon principal of the Winnemucca
school, hopes to realize in the near
future
In regard to the university, Prof
BRAY said that he found a good
healthy sentiment throughout the
otate in favor of education, and it was

+
The University OF. Nevada is now in
better shape than it has ever been be
fore and s now in a position to offer
students as good in many lines as
the best educational institutions III
the coutry. Moreover, it is the pur'
pos to put the mining department on
footing second to none in the
United States, since Nevada is pre-
eminently mining state. A great
step in this direction will be the open
irg of the Mackay building, which will
lie completed before long.
The courses are liberal arts, normal
civil engineering, mechanical engin'
eering and the agricultural--all well
equipped, so Nevada's boys and girls
and those who come from enighborine
states, have wide range for choiee
/ to fit themselves for their life work.

A HUM in HARMONY
HILLS
OF MACHINERY AND
BUSY MEN WILL
SOON BE HEARD
New Company Starts Operations This
Morning-Take up Lumber and
Prepare to Build q Road

A noise like mining will soon be
heard in Harmony hills on the Deiss
/ Iroperty recently acquired by the
Utah capitalists. In fact the noise has
already begun, but as yet has not at
tained to any large proportions. This
morning in charge of B. c. Williams,
who will represent the owners Of the
mine in the capacity of immediate
manager of development work, lumber
and other materials were taken up to
the Harmony hills and the grading and
repairing of tae road leading to the
future mine site, will be started i'm
mediately.
The first wotS will probably be the
sinking of a shaft. The characteristic
of copper ore is that it increases in
value with dC h and the character of
the country ra.k in Harmony hills in
dicates that with depth not only will
tie copper values increase, but the
precious mineral values in the ore as
well.

THE COPPER OUTLOOK

A recent issue of the Wall Street
Journal contained some interesting
facts about the outlook for copper
Quoting representatives of one of
countrywide is not named, however
70 is made to say: fThis year prices
have attained record levels (war
tines alone excepted) production is
near the highest ever known, while
consumption has exceeded all previous
periods
Sales of metal have necessarily been
enormous, and it can safely be esti-
mated that the average price for lake
and electrolytic copper for the year
will not be far under the 20 cent mark
October was undoubtedly the banner
month for volume of actual sales of
the metal, and was exceeded only once.
in January, 1901, when upwards of
3e0,000,000 pounds of copper were
probably sold.
Next years production of the met
al in the United States will probably
not increase much over the probable
8 per cent gain to be Noted for 1906
The Nevada field will probably not
ecome factor in production till 1908
when it will be badly needed, while
Utah, towards the end of the next
year, my show lively increase.
Consumption, on the other hand.
cannot show very large increase, rs
the manufacturing plants now using
~etals are all running to their utmost
eapaeitv, and unless they add to their
productiveness there will be no need
for much of an increase in the next
calendar yeSr.
= I do not look to see the metal sell
under 20 cents during the entire twelve
/ months of 1907, and prospects are of
the brightest for the entire trade for
/ months to come.''

POPULAR DANCES.
The Origin or the Significance Of The;i
 Names.


 The names of popular dances have in most cases very interest. ing origin or sigpifcation.
 The position taken up by the dancers gave the name to the quadrille, which is literal French for "a little square," while country dance has no connection with rustic gymnastics, but is simply corrup- ton of the French contre danse, which has reference to the position of the couples opposite to each oth- sr during the dance.
 The dancers derived its name from the fact that this variation of the quadrille was originally impro- yised by a company of lalcers for their own amusement while seated in their saddles.
 The polka is Polish dance, and its name comes from the Bohemian word polka, meaning half, and re- fers to the half step which occurs in this lively measure, of which the more graceful schottish is a varia- ton, both names, like that of the national dance of Poland-the ma zourka-being native terms.
 The short steps peculiar to the old time fayorite, the minuet, gave the dance its name, the Latin for small" being minutus.
 The waltz, again, owes its name to it's characteristic movement, the German waltzen, meaning to re- volve, expressing the circling mo- ton of the dancers.
 The Roger de Beverley is named after its originator, while the less familiar dance known as the taran- tella is so called because its vigor- ous movements were supposed to be a certain antidote to the poison of noxious spider at Taranto, in Italy, where the dance is highly popular.
 Tie eyolutions of the dancer suf- fciently explain the term reel. Jig is from the French gigue, and breakdown is term from across the Atlantic and refers to the final rout before the breakup of free and easy dancing party.--London Telegraph.

Conclusive Reasoning.

A little elderly German who keeps a stationer's shop amuses and inter ests himself by making up stories about his customers and telling them to his family.
 Dat young lady who has de pink cheeks, she be married soon, l t'ink," he announced one night.
 ''Now, my Carl, you know not tings of her whateffer. Is it not SOP" And his wife tried to look as if she did not think him a wonder fully clever man.
 'It is like dis" said the stationer solemnly: q observe, and know. At first she buy paper and envelopes de same, later she buy twice as more paper and den five times as more paper as envelopes. So know she is become betrothed.
 "And today" he said, beaming with pleasure; today she buy only one-half dozen envelopes and five times as more paper, and when l tell her she get dem cheaper if she buy many she say to me, I have no need of more, tank you So 1 know de friend he comes soon, and so comes de marriage on quickly"

A Good Memory.

Of the late genial and kindly hearted Henry Burch it is told that good many years ago, while he held the position of janitor of Trin- ity Methodist Episcopal church, the minister one summer Sunday morn- ing delivered q sermon which, it appears, had been given by him once before, perhaps two or three years previous.
 On the Sunday in question and during the progress of the sermon a violent thunderstorm came up, which created some little nervous ness among the congregation.
 After the services were over and as the minister was about to leave the building he met the janitor.
 Henry" said he, "that was a pretty severe storm while was preaching this morning
 "Yes, Mir. ," replied Henry, "and the singular thing about it is that there was a thunderstorm the last time you preached that ser mon. ."-Oil City Blizzard.

Festival of the Dolls.

A curious custom of the Japanese is that of the observance of cer- tain day in April of each year called dolls day, or the festival of the dolls.
 On this day all the girls and wom. en array themselves in gaudy attire, and the mother of each household adorns the family room in gay col ors. Then the little girls dress all their dolls, old and new, in their best Sunday clothes and prop them up about the walls. In the after noon great feast is prepared, os- tensibly for the benefit of the dolls, though the repast is actually con sumed by the grown folks in the evening. Japan is the only country that has such festiyity.

ROBERT Du .dS.
The Post's First Love and His'Vsrsss
 In Her Praise.

Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, was born at Mount Oliphant, Jan e5, 1759, near Ayr. in clay built cottage reared by his fathers own hands. When lad of eighteen the family moved to Lochlea. His first three or four years at Lochlea were still with the poet times of inno- cence, and "his conduct was govern ed by the strictest rules of virtue and modesty." At last he set his affections on young woman named Ellison Begbie, the daughter of q small farmer, and asked her to be his wife, but he could not prevail on her to marry him, and this disap- pointment had malign influence over the poet. Long afterward, when he had seen much of the world, Burns spoke of this girl as, of all those on whom he ever fixed his tickle affections, the one most likely to have made pleasanter partner for life. It was to her he addressed the pure and beautiful love lyric "Mary Morison," and in these lines the lyric genius of Burns was for the first time unde- niably revealed:

Animal MaternsI In.tinet.

'I have young retriever, gentle, well bred, handsome" says core spondent of an English paper. Her kindly disposition has won her much popularity, and she is loved by the family cat, the green Amazon par rot and the village children. A few days ago some poor little superfiu- ous Aberdeen puppies had to be drowned. But when the man went to get the little bodies to give them q decent burial two had mysterious ly vanished from the pail in which they had found watery grave. For a long time we searched in vain, much puzzled at the unaccountable disappearance, until servant vol unteered the information that Mag gie had two little dogs in her bed. And here we found them, two little corpses, licked clean and dry and gently laid side by side on the straw. She had fished them out of the pail, carried them there and apparently done all she could to revive them. She has never had any puppies of her own, so this seems a curious in stance of maternal instinct

Where Woman Is Boss.

Captain Tuckey was commission ed by the British government to ex- plore the kongo region in west Af- rica early in the nineteenth century. One of the discoveries made by the captain proves that a select few of the Kongo women had reached Q stage beyond the utmost dreams of present day woman suffragists. The sovereignty of one tribe he found to be hereditary in the female line. Daughters of the mighty chief were allowed to choose their own hus- bands, over whom they became most absolute mistresses and can even extend their prerogative to the selling of refractory spouse to slavery" Little wonder, reflected the captain, that the honor of a royal alliance lis a matter of but little emulation among the gallants of the Kongoese court" As the chief had as many as fifty wives the demand for eligible partis for royal princesses was fairly steady.
