mo Race Suicide Here,
"A Fifty-five-Y ear-Old Pocatello Wo-
man Mother of Eighteen Chill
dren-Has Twelve Grand
children

THE attention of President Roose-
welt is respectfully and proudly called
to the case of Mrs. L. c. Carter, wife
of the well-known painter who lives
at 225 North Fifth avenue. The case
is interesting and is a matter of pride
in its refutation of the theory that
there is danger of race suicide in this
part of the county. Last Wednesday
a baby daughter was born to Mrs.
Carter, who is past SO years of age
and is already the mother of seven
teen children. She has twelve grand
children. The new baby is the pic
ture of health, and Mrs. Carter is
getting along finely.
THAT is something to be proud
Of said the reporter
"Yes, it is replied Mrs. Hewitt
Mother has just left for her home
in Pocatello. She has been With us
here but became anxious to return. to
her old home where the family lived
for twenty odd years. Father is with
us. She took four of the children
with her and there are four of us
here
Mrs. Hewitt is the oldest child,
her age being 80 years. She has Civ
en- birth to six children, two being
twins. There are four children in
the family now. The Hewitts are
greatly pleased over their good for
tune as well as being very appreci-
alive of the Townsite company's gen
crosby. Not only should they feel
grateful over winning the lot but
should be doubly thankful in having
such bright little youngster. Per-
haps in ten fears from nov Master
Ely Corbett Hewitt will tell his
school mates how he acquired that
name and he will also say that his
mother has told him that when he
was born Ely City was also in its
infancy and where great business
blocks stand, where beautiful homes
are located, where factories hum and
parks attract the admiration of the
visitor was little more than sage
brush.

MISSOURI THE
NEWS PET COYOTE

In the show window of The News
office Is a Hamilton bred and born
coyote, with teeth like needles and a
nose that could go through a very
small knot hole in a chicken coop.
The young pup is about one-third
grown and looks up and snaps like
a mud turtle when Missouri" is
called. The young native of the
sheep camp has been named Mis-
souri," He was brought down from
Hamilton Sunday night by the edi-
tor of The News, after having been
ran to cover by c. H. Alden.
Mr.. Schenck values his pet at $50,
but in two or three days he will take
$25 and we think in ten days more
he will give good gold coin to anyone
who VIII take him away. Missouri
lives ON the best OK joints the mar
ket affords and takes his water from
tin can. He sleeps on soft excel
sior, such as is used for packing
cut-glass dishes in. Missouri has at
tracted much attention since he
changed his place of abode from the
hills of Hamilton to his small wire
and glass den.
When Missouri feels frisky he
takes a bite from Mr.. Bragg's coat
tail and for dessert eats his hat brim
Missouri is not standing confinement
well. He sleeps like an Indian and
the lazy fall flies gnaw at his eyes in
dustriously.
Mr.. Schenck will have a coyote
for sale lat any price" in few days
Monday he lunched off Roy's index
finger. Tuesday he ate soup bone;
Wednesday he was pretty loud -
stunk in fact, if my French may be
excused. BY Saturday he will be
louder and will probably take the
Office.
Coyotes are all right when they
can roam the plains and cut the
throat of "Marys little lamb and
steal turkeys from a farm yard, but
they usually take up more room when
home is made for them in a print
shop than a linotype machine.
At the coming meeting of the Edi-
torial meeting at Tonopah, Roy w.
Schenck, editor of The News, will
read a paper on The Best Methods
of housekeeping a Coyote" Not
that the newspaper men of Nevada
are very much interested in the sub
Ject TO be treated further than to
advance every material interest in
Nevada, and as the proper education
of the coyote is one of the subjects
most interesting to sheep men and
the raiser of turkeys on the farm,
it is one of the states most promi-.
nent industries and will be made
the subject of discussion at the COM
ing meeting. The subject has been
assigned to Mr.. Schenck, and as he
has had actual experience in the
breaking of coyote it could not have
been left in ADLER hands.
Jimmie Haley of Reno, and it is
said that Senator Rolf will also
couple the subject with that of rails
ing Batum chickens, and switch off
from obituary notices and lend a
hand to hoy.

A Famous Southern Soldiers Song.

A Famous Southern Soldiers Song.
One of the most beautiful songs OF
the Southern Confederacy never
found it's way into print, although 1t
was one of the most popular songs
Of the Civil war. This song was
written by an Alabamian, Laeuten-
ant Harrington.
although quite popular in the
south during the days Of the War
tie song is now almost forgotten
save perhaps by very few OF the
Confe derate soldiers. During those
da:s Of the war the song was sung
bv the soldiers of the Confederacy
about the camp fires and on the
march ttfIoughout the :l'uth and
soon became a popular song OF those
DAYS. This song was called 1.-The
Homespun Dress
The Homespun Dress.
Oh, yes, 1 am Southern GIRL
And glory in the mama;
I boast Of it with greater pride
Than glittering wealth or fame;
I envy not the Northern girl,
Her robes of beauty rare,
Though diamonds deck her snowy
neck
And pearls bestu1 her hair.
Chorus.
Hurrah, hurraa!
For the Sunny South, so dear!
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear!
Now Northern goods are out OF date;
And. since old Abe's blockade,
We Southern girls can Be content
With goods that's Southern made:
We send our sweethearts to the war;
But girls, ne'er do you mind
Your soldier love will not forget
The girl he left behind.
The Sorthern lands glorious land,
And has glorious cause;
Then cheer, three cheers tor oouth-
ern rights
And for the Southern boys!
We scorn to wear a bit OF SILK,
A bit Of Northern lace,
Rut make cur homespun dresses up,
And wear them with a grace.
And, now young man, word to you'
IF YOU would win the fair,
Go to the field where honor calls
And win your lady there;
Remember that our brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave,
And that-our. tears are all for those
Who fill the soldiers grave.

TWO-CENT RATE
Road Says II
Has Proved a Losing
Proposition

Philadelphia. Pa, Dec. 10. Refer
ring to the operation of the two-cent
rate law, passed by the Pennsylvania
legislature, the following statement
has been issued by the passenger de-
partment of the Pennsylvania rail
road: 81 us. 81
ANALYSIS of the earnings of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad for October,
the first month of operation of the
two-cent fare law, shows that the
new law has caused a large decrease
in gross revenue and a still greater
decrease in net earnings of the lines
of the company within the state. This
decrease in revenue is absolute, and
has not been Offset in any manner by
increased travel stimulated by the re-
duction in rate per mile.
