DEMAND is GREAT FOR
REAL ESTATE IN
YERINGTON

There seems to- be growing demand
for real estate in the city of Yerington.
The local agents report brisk business
with every indication that the next few
weeks will witness boom in the war;
Gus additions to the town.
Relying upon an early completion of
the approaches to the bridge that spans
theWalker river near the Mcleod ranch.
many persons availed themselves during
the past week of the opportunity to Sc
cure lots in the Ish addition. The new
bridge will save considerable distance
i'll reaching Yerington from Wabuska.
1t is designed primarily for light travel
and will not affect the heavy teams,
which will be compelled to use the pres
ent route, by way of the old smelter.
The Barton tract has been cleared and
leveled and presents a fine appearance.
Grant Moler, the local real estate agent,
has charge of the sales in this particular
tract and looks forward to lively bust
ness.
Yerington is spreading at rapid rate.
1t is developing into full fedged city, as
is evidenced by the many substantial inn
provements that are going on i'll various
parts of town. Concrete masons are
busy laying walks which the city coun-
Gil, by an all-wise ordinance, made man
datory on the part of property holders.

which make for development and

thanks for contributing to the 'gayety

This matter of evading the truth

DR.. Taylor were preached to her. 1T
is quite possible and defendable." con-
tinued Mrs. Ammon, that in what we
may call the little things of life
women evade the truth more often
than men do, because they are
brought into contact with those lit
tie things, chiefly domestic. more than
men are. Shall we tell the diseased
that they are afflicted incurably?
Shall we say to the dying that there
is no hope for them? Shall we give
an absolutely blunt, direct answer to
prying inquiries which should never
have had utterance and which may
most probably be repeated as gossip
with such coloring as repetition and
! Imagination may inspire?
THE question of answering truth
telling is one which has agitated the
deepest of analytical minds, but the
greatest of these has not been led to
assert that immortality of prevarica-
ton was most highly developed in
women than in men. Whatever fail
ing there may be is to be equally con-
demned in both sexes. 1t is quite pos
sible and quite natural that where
the affections are involved the woman
may be more easily swayed than the
man She is more the creature of
sentiment and emotion. Her friend
ships and loves are deeper and dearer.
Therefore, on the witness stand, she
may the more readily, and surely
more unconsciously, depart from the
exact truth when the interests of
those whom she loves are involved.
But she does it unconsciously or
almost so, if at all. It Is a psychology

NED FOUND THE COWS.
Western Ranch Boys Adventure with
Cattle Thieves.

1t was a warm morning in June
when Ned Wilson's father approached
him and said: Ned, you know those
COWS 1 bought of Farmer Buckley9
Well, they wandered away last night
and wish you could go and find
them. Do you think you could?"
"Why, yes, father. Why not?''
All right, then; get Lightning and
go along the river. That's where 1
think they WENT
Yes, SIR" was the quick reply.
Soon Ned was at the barn where
his pony was kept. He unfastened
the strap, jumped into the saddle
and was soon hidden from view by
some bushes that grew by the river.
Ned lived with his father on a
large cattle ranch in Texas. The
night before they had lost three
cows, which Mr.. Wilson felt sure
went down by the river that was a
few miles from his house
Lightning was a swift runner and
Ned was soon down by the river AS
he came toward it he saw footprints
in the sand near the waters edge.

their equivocations. When a man
tells a deliberate lie he must be an
adept at the business indeed if some
thing in his manner or expression
fails to suggest that fact to the jury.
A woman speaking under the influ'
ence of powerful sentiment is more
apt to give her statement every sem
blance of truth. The man lying de.
1iberately is well aware that he can
hardly do it successfully and there
fore he is less apt to try the expert
ment, although he is morally just as
much the liar as though he did try it.
Il would say that there is some
measure of truth in the assumption
that women are more liable than men
to go astray from the exact facts
when they are in the strange posi-
ton of a witness in the courts, but
the sweeping assertion of DR.. Taylor
that in all circumstances they are less
to be believed than men is a state
ment that should simply make the

is question that has
been excited by the utter
ances of a few men, and
At least one woman, who have in pub
lie recently insisted that women as
general proposition have no sense of
the binding sanctity of an oath and
are blind to the moral obligation of
telling the truth.
A few days ago, came DR.. William
H. Taylor, state chemist of Virginia,
in a lecture to the students of the
State Medical College of Virginia,
proclaimed that a woman had mo
conception of the moral obligation en-
tailed in telling the truth In his
opinion truth with a woman is what
she wants to be believed. She is con-
WINGED that what she calls her ''intui-
tons must always be right.
As a buttress to what these mere
men have asserted comes Mary Hea-
ton Worse, woman of some note as
writer for the magazines, who as
serts that few women can be depended
upon to tell the truth, she presumably
being one of the few; that they beat
street railway companies; that they
listen at telephones, betray conf
dences, sneak the reading of letters;
and that she believes the statement
of an old judge who told her that
upon the witness stand women would
Invariably perjure themselves
These declarations were so sweep
ing and so extraordinary that the
Pittsburg Dispatch was led to seek
the opinions of some Pittsburg wom-
en- of note, who could be depended
upon to say what they thought re-

Not a Question of Sex.
THE telling of truth is absolutely
not a matter of SEX" was the en-
phatic answer to a query by the rep
resentative of the Dispatch. Both
sexes equivocate and evade upon oc-
casion and no one will hazard his rep
utation for veracity by saying that
women should be singled out for this
mark of opprobrium as distinct from
men. Both are of the same blood and
fiber. and whatever denunciation lies
against the one in the matter of stat
ing what is untrue lies against the
other.
Il cannot understand how any man
or woman of intelligent appreciation
of the worlds activities could sink to
the depths of uttering such a SANDER
against the mothers, sisters and
daughters who are responsible for the
maternity of their kind of both sexes.

after birth could so warp and distort
the natural tendencies. These gentle
men who have been so widely quoted
evidently know little of the world of
women. They have placed themselves
on record after very superficial and
perfunctory analysis of the sex. The
very fact that they have been quoted
at all indicates that their views are al
together bizarre. If this had been
