Biggest Ranch In World

The biggest farm-if farm" it can
be called-is that owned by Don Luis
Terrazas in the state of chihuahua,
Mexico, which measures from north
to south $50 miles; and from east to
west 200 miles, or nearly 5000, 900
acres in all, says Tit-Bits. On it's
prairies and mountains roam 100, 900,
head of cattle, 100000 sheep and
10000 horses. The farm house is
probably the most magnificent in the
world, for it cost e4OO,OO to build,
and is more richly furnished than
many royal palace. On the home
stead alone are employed 100 male
servants. The gardens are superbly
laid out, the stables more magnificent
than those of the German emperor
and there is accommodation for 500
guests if necessary. The employees
number 1000.

INFLUENCE OF DIET ON SLEEP

Diet has little influence on sheer,

of certain foods, such as onions
lettuce, milk, etc., are chiefly i'm
aginary. Even the time Of the last
meal of the day Is of relatively lit

well to let this be at least two or
three hours before retiring. But
even this rule has many exceptions.

INVASION OF TURF THIEVES

The turf thieves that have been kicked
out of the State of California because
they made such robbers root of the
Emoryville race track are now prepar-
ing to invade Nevada and secure a
charter to rob the people of Nevada for
period of twenty years.
No one in Nevada objects to decent
racing but this track became such u
raeking stencil in the nostrils of Cali
fo;nia that the whole outfit were kicked
out. They now propose to locate their
outfit in Nevada and they are now
sending their emisaries out to Nevada to
fasten their tenticlcs on the people of
Nevada
These people should be given short
shift in Nevada not because they are
racing men but because they are
crooked racing men and merely make
the sport Of kings an instrument to
rob the public
Every elected member of the assembly
should declare himself on this question
ut once.-Appeal.
The Appeal sounds q note of warning
that the people of Nevada should heed.
When the state was in hard straits fl
nancially the prize-fght law was pass
ed because it brought in little rev.
enue and a desperate effort was made
to fasten lottery on the people on the
plea that it would bring in enough re-
venue to run the state government.
Hoping to catch the people asleep, a
special election was forced upon the
people in the middle of winter, but
enough turned out and voted to kill
the proposition.
If the crooked race-track gamblers of
California think they can come to Ne
vada and procure 20 year charter to
conduct their thciving business, they
will find public sentiment so aroused
that the legislator who vote for it will
then and there dig his political grave.
The people of Nevada are in no mood
ut this time to look with favor upon
licensing any more gambling schemes.
We have too many now and their days
arc about numbered.
Let the race track crooks of Califor-
mia take notice now that Nevada wants
neither them nor their crooked business

MAN HOOD
Sermon by Rev. W. T. Boiling, Memphis Tenn.

A man is a great being, while a
human thing does not amount to
much if anything, and no man, I'M
der any conditions, will barter his
manhood for any price in the shape
of money. Place or security from
the ire and prosecution of those
who would own and control him.
1t is mighty hard matter to main
tain an unimpaired manhood in
this time of general bartering of
personal values for personal gain.
The age seems to be one of bosses
upon the part of the few and of
servitude for either monetary or
some other gain upon the part of
the many, out of which can come
no good TO the moral life of the
people, and no permanent gain to
the individual, for the gain to the
public must come through the man
hood of individuals, and the gain
permanent to the individual must
come through his consciousness of
mis- own personal integrity.
The purse-proud man of capital
strives to purchase the slavery of
the toiling masses through wage,
scales, the political boss domino
the elector by holding over
the hope of political reward for his
surrender and the threat of politi-
cal punishment for any independ.
ence, and even in the church the
preacher must be content to be a
mere echo of his superiors, or find
himself under the ban and deprlv-
ed of any hope of ecclesiastical
preferment. Yes, to maintain ones
manhood just now is hard job,
bat after all, it pays to do it, at
any cost, and to be free.
When Martin Luther stood in
the diet of worms, and, facing all
enemies in high places, stood I'M
fiinchinglY by his solemn convic-
tions, he showed the world a man,
and made the world of mind free,
until the vested shackles of the ar
rogant church will never again be
used to bind individual thought |
and conscience, though some Pro
testants now seem inclined to re-
pudiate his teaching in order to
gain place and power.
When Patrick Henry stood in
the Virginia assembly and said, in
the face of the enemies of freedom
and in the sight of the gallows,
"Give me liberty or give me
DEATH he let the world look upon
a man, maintaining his manhood,
whatever the cost might be.
When young Davis stood un-
der the moose at Nashville to meet
the death of a spy, and was offered
liberty if he would betray the Fed
eral officer who aided him in plans,
and said: 81 promised and cannot
die with lie upon my lips, and,
had / a thousands lives to give, l
would freely give them for any
honor and good of my country"
