CUPID IS STILL
MATING HEARTS

Whether it be the atmospheric
condition of this unusual year that
has imbued the young swains here
abouts with matrimonial inclina-
tions or whether it be that Leap
Year is playing an important part,
giving the young ladies the privi-
lege of popping the pop" is a
question hard to determine, but at
any rate Cupid Jepsen has been
kept busy issuing the necessary
papers, and this year so far has
been a record breaker. Now comes
Dame Rumor with a report that
well known young man of the
East Fork will soon take unto
himself bride. 1t is said that
the young couple will reside in
Gardnerville.

ENLARGE RESERVOIRS.

The Alpine Land and Reservoir
Company, which is composed of
East Fork farmers will send a crew
of men to Kinney Lakes next week
where they will do considerable
construction work on the storage
reservoirs owned by the company.
1t has been the policy of the COM
pany for the past few years to ex-
pend certain amount of money
each year enlarging the reservoirs.
Already the dams are of sufficient
size to hold vast volume of water
and during dry years the water
thus stored has assisted wonder
fully in irrigating the second crop
of alfalfa.

SOLVES THE
GREAT BEYOND

Early last Friday morning Mar
tha M. Nelson, beloved wife of
Louis Nelson, passed away at the
family residence in Gardnerville.
For days the family had awaited
the end of their loved one. knowing
it was near and when that time
arrived her husband, children and
two sisters were at the bedside
when the soul of this estimable
lady winged its way to eternal
rest.
Deceased was born in Gallehuus,
Slesvig, March 7th, 1858 and was
therefore so years Of age. She
came to this country in 1879 and
two years later married Mr.. Nell
son. After living for few years
at the Lake and Diamond Valley,
they took up their residence in
this Valley acquiring the property
which was lately purchased
by Richard Tholke. Sever
months ago she was taken i'll and
although for time she gave signs
of recovery, it was known from the
first that he allotted time on earth
was brief. Thus, after a long,
busy and useful life she died as
she lived -honored trusted and
respected.
To mourn her demise she leaves
sorrowing husband, a daughter,
Miss Lena, and three sons, Will
lam, Arthur and Louis. Two sis
ters, Mrs. M. Jacobsen and Mrs.
M. Jepsen of this Valley survive
her as we'll as bother Neils Jen-
sen in Denmark.
The funeral services were held
from the Lutheran church Sunda,
afternoon and was one of the
largest attended funerals of recent
years. Rev. Menzel delivered an
excellent sermon, and touchtd d mp
On the pure, Christian lif. that the
deceased had lived: how earnest
and devotedly she bad been in
rearing her family to lead upright
lives. "a true and devoted wife,
a flowing mother and trusted
friend" were the sndearing words
used by Rev. Menzel IN describing
the life of this estinlahle.lady. The
remains were lowered tn their final
resting place in the Garden GENE
terry as the Lu.l.cran choir sadly
sang "Nearer My God TO Thee"
How doubly deep would be the
grief over the grave did not the
rainbow of Christian hope span
the dark gulf between time and
eternity, and snch pure, bright
lives inspire the belief that there
is better world beyond, where,
filled from the corroding cares of
earth, the good and true are re.
united latter life's fitful fever.n

THE JEFFERSON1AN.
A GLIMPSE OF BELL BOYD, THE CON-
FEDERATE SCOUT AND SPY.

AT the gate was wide cement walk leading
to the porch The cornice on the house and
porch was decorated with brackets and upto-
date holdings. Blinds painted some cf
them open, some closed. The front yard was
decorated with roses and other flowers.
We stopped at the gate. Miss Boyd passed
in, leaving the gate open, supposlng, OF course,
[ would follow and close it. [ closed the
gate, leaving her standing inside. Beginning
to comprehend my situation, I, as the sol
dlers would say wanted to "skedaddle." Bell
Boyd was not hunter who would let her
game escape. She stepped to the gate, pulled
back the spring latch, opened the gate about
two feet towards herself, and, with the most
winning smile that ever graced lady's face,
said: "Come in, please" as naturally as
water runs down hill. The words came into
my mind @ Come into my parlor, said the
spider to the fly" Like the fly, I went in,
and of all the stings and bites ever a fly got,
[ got them.
After closing the gate, we went to the
porch. At the steps [ stopped. She lightly went
up onto the porch floor, turned extending her
hands towards me- and with smile said:
"Shall I assist you?' T thought, "Libby;
let 'er rip" Took her hand, went up onto
the floor. She stepped to the door, which was
large, double one, opened wide enough to let
an army wagon train through, with an arched
transom window over the door. She opened
one-half of the door. With hand on the knob
and chuckling laugh she said "Come into
the parlor, please" | saw and knew it was
Libby prison, or Andersonville. l didn't
care d-n which. Like the fly, went into
the spiders parlor. She pointed to we'll
cushioned armchair, where I could receive
her bites and stings easily. On the floor was
a fine, lowered Brussels carpet, soft and
warm. On the wall hung historical pictures
of Columbus discovering America, Surrender
Of Burgoyne, Valley Forge, Landing at Ply
mouth Rock.
She passed out of the parlor I thought
this is hell refined" In a few moments she
came back. 1t was heaven She seated her.
self on a cushioned chair in front Of me- T
spoke boastfully Of our brave soldier boys.
Now came my first sting. She replied by
saying: "Your brave boys, mercy knows, arc
bold and brave enough, but your generals are
towards, demented at that" In military
sense she was right. Like any fly, I squirmed
and wriggled, while she gave a look of salts
faction, triumphant. You may think Gods
angels WON'T sting, but know they will; one
stung me nigh unto death. Her name was
Bell Boyd.

BRYAN AS A POLITICAL CAPTAIN OF
INDUSTRY.

Continued from Page IWo.)
for his recent written debates with Senator
Beveridge in magazine.
Yet before he was nominated for President
Mr. Bryan S average income as a lawyer VS..
about thousand dollars year, and his sal
airy as political editor Of the Omaha WoI.'
Herald at the time of his nomination was
only 81 800 year.
This ability Of Mr.. Bryan to accumulate
money while honestly spreading his doctrines
and keeping up the spirit of his followers IS a
necessary corollary of his stern and uncom.
promising attitude toward trusts and all man
ner of plutocratc evil-doers. From poht-
zeal standpoint his system is in the nature Of
an invention.
Let the Wall street consplrators In the Dem
ocratic party attempt to organize trouble in
any part of the country by picking out and
supporting a conservative candidate for the
presidency. AS soon as the movement DC, ms
to attract attention it will happen that Mr..
Bryan is to lecture-for so per cent Of the
ticket money-in the particular State or
neighborhood where the conservative candi-
dacy is being pressed. The original Bryan
men" simultaneously announce in the local
newspapers that banquet or reception meet
ing is to be held in Mr.. Bryan s honor on the
occasion of his visit. This forces politicians
to join in the compliment or run the risk,
Of inviting the vengeance Of Bryan men at
the next election.
The result is stir in the local newspapers,
interviews, an active discussion in political
circles, paying audiences at Mr.. Bryan lee
lures, rafting political speech from him, and
a series of confidential political conferences,
IN which his manly, good-natured and magnet
ic way Of dealing with voters-a breezy, fa-
miliar clap on the shoulder for one, vaguely
exalted epigram for another, pointed jo}o
for still another, and defiance of Wall
street, Cleveland, Ryan, Belmont and the Sub
sidized press" for all-soon frightens the 10
cal conservative politicians into inactivity or
a hurried acceptance Of "peerlessness" as a
regrettable but inevitable element in the SUI
preme Democratic leadership.
1t is hard to find politician who does not
realize that if Mr.. Bryan cannot himself
be elected President Of the United States, no
man in his party can succeed against his OPP
position or without his hearty approval
But how could Mr.. Bryan travel constantly
about the country, hire halls and bring all
diences together if he had to foot the bills
himself? Where would he get the moneys
How would he support his family9 How would
he keep the Commoner goingq How would
he acquire United States bonds as a comfort
and guarantee against increasing years and
possible decline of radical sentiment?
