on business in no ways peculiar or myste
tious, and yet the editor ventures to assert
that not one boy in ten thousand, unless en-
gagged in that particular business, can de-
fine these words Yet it is very simple; the
strange names designate varieties of brick.
These technical names prevail in all trades
and occupations and in some it is hardly to
be expected that the ordinary observer can
know what they mean-the electrical trades,
for instance, or the thousand and one sea
terms
But here is the printing trade something
you meet everywhere. How many people can
tell what is meant by shooting sticks, :"
leads" and "coins?" How many know that
a monkey wrench" takes it's name from
Charles Monckey. its inventor?
How few there are who know the differ
ence between baluster and balustrade, OF
know that banister is a corruption of bal
ulster. How many can distinguish between
a hip, gable and pent roof? Who can de-
fine the difference between turret and
tower?
A walk through the city streets will dis
close an astonishing number of queer words
on tradesmen's signs-some easily solved by
little reasoning, others as incomprehensible
as Egyptian hieroglyphics. None are with
out a meaning, however, and in nearly
every case it will be found that the word
exactly defines the use to which the article
is put.
To decipher these signs is an interesting
occupation for the curious.

A HALF HOLIDAY LESSON

SO narrowly escaped collision.
"And now, boys, said he, grayely, when,
after silent ride, all assembled in the study,

feel they will be sufficient. You have at least
learned that as schoolboys you are no more
exempt from human laws than are men, nor
should you be, and it is none too early in life
for you to find out that liberty does not mean
freedom to disrespect the rights Of others in
the thoughtless, unbridled qualification of
personal desires. 1 believe the lesson will be
enough without further action on my part"
well, it has been full day Of lessons for

NEXT SESSION OF
 IRRIGATION CONGRESS-
Arrangements For the Preliminaries Are Now We'll Under Way.

B. A. Fowler, secretary of the Sev- enteenth National Irrigation congress has received a number of communica- tions lately from w. A. Beard, chair man of the executive committee of the congress, concerning the work of the next session. All the correspondence indicates that MT. Beard is thoroughly enthused with his work and is plan ming to make the next session the greatest ever. One of the creations of the last congress at his suggestion, was a board of governors. the duties of which are not vet fully outlined. and Mir. Beard suggests a meeting of the board in Washington early in De- cember to confer over it's work. as sev- eral members will be in that city about that time attending other conferences.
 The most important matter to the public in this correspondence is a copy of letter written by MT. Beard to H. l.. Moody of Spokane where the next congress is to be held, inquiring what will be expected of the people of Spokane and intimating that they are already planning for the proper enter tainment of the congress next year. Mir. Boards reply covers many type written pages and goes into the matter in detail. If his suggestions are any where near acted upon the Spokane meeting will be a memorable one. A few of the points are expected as follows:
 The necessity of forming board of control to take charge of preparations, and represent the community and state; a pointing out of the fact that the newly created board of governors will not in any way interfere with the

 SAYS SKIN SUFFERER

Frightful cases of eczema cured by simple oil of wiutergreen.
 Physicians in general admit the su- perior value of simple medicines for all diseases.
 For eczema and other skin diseases of similar nature. certainly nothing in the world could be simpler than the formula for D. D. D. Prescrip- ton Coil of wintergreen compound in liquid form) now recognized as the remedy.
 This wonderful remedy is composed principally of common oil of winter green, carefully combined with such well known healing and antiseptic substances as thymol, glycerine, etc.

 About December, 1905. I sent to you for a sample bottle of your remedy, stating that I had case of psoriasis of five years standing. Af- ter trying it, I ordered through my druggist, Mir. F. P Griffin, six bot ties of your remedy. I showed him how I was afflicted. The disease had covered my limbs, part of my body and began breaking out on my face.
 T began using D. D. D. Prescrip- tion according to your directions. Used five bottles and was cured sound and well I showed my druggist again and he was surprised. Said it looked almost like a miracle to him.

POLICE DIDN'T TAKE
 BEN'S TEN DOLLARS
He Is Fined Five Dollars and Has To Take His Sign Down Too.

Gee Ben, proprietor of the French Kitchen, has just learned the sad les son that he cannot purchase immunity from the police department. 4 week ago he was ordered by Marshal Moore to remove the big sign that hung over the restaurant. Ben thought it was too pretty a sign to take down so he left it there
 Some days later MT. Moore again called his attention to it and Gee Ben began to think maybe the marshal was really in earnest about it. So he promised to see to it that the sign was removed and the ordinance complied with
 Then one day last week as the sign was still swinging in the wind Marshal Moore ordered a policeman to bring Gee to the station Ben looked at the Marshals stern cOuntenance and tried in vain to move him.
 Don't lock me up,' MT. Moore, he said; you nice man, like you velly much. I take sign down quite soon."
 Lock him up," said the marshal to Officer Sullivan.
 Wait minute cried Gee. He fish ed down into his pocket and produced s1O which he laid carefully on the ta- ble. Then Ben looked up and smiled an inscrutable smile feeling quite sure that everything was all right.
 Lock him up," said the marshal.
 You don't understand" said Ben. pointing at the money. That is for you. Buy Slistmus presents for kid dies. You fine man, MT. Moore"
 Lock him uD.' said the marshall and Ben was locked up.
 A little later Gee Ben was brought into court where he was fined 8 and giN en one day in which to remove the sign. On the way out the Oriental picked up his s1O which was still lying on the table where he had put it and softly tucked it away in his trousers.

 There are further suggestions as to a publicity bureau and to the work the board of governors will probably do in preparing the program of the congress and other things. and finally the cooperation of all the various aux Hilary organizations.

 Restorative Recipe for Men

Amidst wine, cigars. jest and laughter in a recent club gath ering of some of New York's most exclusive circles, the con- versation was turned to the subject serious by one of the rollickers asking a famous med ical practitioner. who was pres ent, what the most serious dis ease he had to contend with was. Being a specialist in the treatment of nervous and vast ing diseases, he replied, Lost vigor and power of personal magnetism in men. It is a greater. detriment to health, happiness and success than any other affliction. He claims that thousands of men are groping for help, that thousands are but mental and physical wrecks, without vitality or the power to do things, the power to begin and execute, the power of mag netism that gives the spark to He anu lSHlS lilS pathway oA success. The very knowledge of their own weaknesses, it's hu- initiating nature and distrust lead the poor victim to keep his secret. Knowing these things so well, he recently consented to the publication of this original prescription. It can be mixed at home secretly, which is de- sirable for sensitive men.

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-I Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

Too Much Jockeying

The promised foot race Sunday after
noon between Mayer of Elko and
Stewart of Winnemucca failed to
materialize. ~ = ~
A big crowd gathered around the
track at 3 o'clock and many of them
remained in the dust and heat until
nearly seven, but nary a race did they
see. A half hour or more of this time
was taken up by the hackers of the
racers in agreeing upon rules, choosing
starter and other preliminaries.
After the usual squabbling, an agree
ment was reached on the rules and DIR.
West was chosen as the starter. -
The contestants appeared on the track
about $3.50 o'clock and the rules were
explained to them. They took their
places at the scratch and jockeyed the
rest Of the afternoon, each trying to get
the best of the other at the start. DR..
West did his best to make the racers
live up to the rules and refused to start
them unless the rules were complied
with. Many false starts were made,
but each time the contestants were
called back to the scratch. This was
kept up until nearly o'clock when the
race was called off.
So far as the writer could see neither
of the contestants was anxious to run
unless he could get an advantage at the
start. This DR.. West would not per-
nit. 1t is said that fully $4,000 were
bet on the race and this doubtless in
f1uenced the contestants, but failed to
have any influence on DR.. West.
After this race was called off, a
purse of $40 a side was put up for a race
of 80 yards between Charles H. Keas
and Ralph Case, Wiunemucca boys.
There was no jockeying in this race
and it was soon over, Keas winning by
a few feet. Time about six seconds.

in this city, created something of q
sensation among some. of the republi-

but he can not consientiously vote for

There are other ministers of that
church who are just as open in their
opinion regarding the republican
nominee, and who say that they can
not conscientiously support him. At
the general conference of the Methodist
church, held recently in Baltimore,
resolutions were adopted regretting
Taft's position on certain religious and
moral questions and it was the sense
of the conference to not support him
