NEVADA FROM TWO
POINTS OF VIEW
u,GHLY INTELLECTUAL PEOPLE
COULD NOT LOCATE GREAT
STATE OF NEVADA.

The group Of highly intellectual
,eonle was discussing Maeterlinck's
,ssavs and other erudite subjects
with ease and skill. Directly the
conversation turned upon a recent
happening in Nevada, whereupon a
frankly ignorant person asked the
exact location of Nevada .
The group of intellectual people
vas silent as one man for awhile.
Then the individuals began to express
their opinions on the subject. One
man said that Nevada was north of
Idaho, but when the location OF
Idaho was asked. he relapsed into a
dignifed silence.
A woman with well-defined ideas
on all sorts and conditions of things
said that Nevada was bounded by
Colorado on the east, and maintain
ed her position in an Grafton of great
b~rilliance.
Two or three of the group main
tanned that Nevada was a near neigh
Dor OF Mexico. but whether old or
New Mexico they were not suree.
A young man who is a Phi. d. of q
noted institution said that the State
to the south of Nevada was undoubt-
eddy Oklahoma. and a oma who
insisted that Nevada was some
where near Oregon" was laughed tc
seOrn.
When several of the persons who
we're agreed about telepathy, and tn,
superiority Of mind TO matter, anC
psychological influence, began t
quarrel with each other over thii
geographical detail, some one pro
duced an atlas. and then a lot o

teal and more learned subjects.
