the blue.
Miss Dorothy TAFT of Baltimore had bad
luck again yesterday in the handling or

Recipe for Oratory.

Representative Hobson, at the end of a brilliant speech on naval arma- ment, was congratulated on his ora tory.
 What is your recipe for good ora tory? a reporter asked.
 T am afraid oratory comes natural. 9 was the reply There is, though one recipe for it, old Job Walmsby's, but it is hardly satisfactory.

kinIinu,s Conversion.

It Is said that Rudyard Kipling. the great English literary genius, one time believed in the inalienable right of the individual to exercise self-controI and self-regulation on the liquor ques- tion, but was converted to prohibition by witnessing the leading of two young girls to ruin through drink. after which he wrote as follows: Then, recanting previous opinions, I became prohibitionist. Better it is that man should go without his beer in public places and content him. self with swearing at the narrow mindedness of the majority; better 1t is to poison the inside with very vile temperance drinks and to buy lager furtively at back doors than to bring temptationto lips of young fools such as the four had seen. I understand now why preachers rage against drink ! have said there is no harm in it taken moderately; and yet my own demand for beer helped directly to send those two girls reeling down back street to = God alone knows what end"

TRADE THAT WAS CALLED OFF
Ministers Really Coed Reason for Not
 Purchasing Horse.

Il saw an instance recently re marked Senator Carter of Montana, ''of one way 10 get along with Indians when it comes to a horse deal. One of the missionaries who makes occa, sional excursions into the Crow coun- try by way of getting on friendly terms with the tribe, commissioned two Of the men to get him a swift. strong and presentable riding horse, and be stipulated that he would pay a hundred dollars for the kind of horse described. The braves soon appeared with a horse, swift. strong and a splendid locking animal, but, alas! so vicious that he had to be clubbed al. most to insensibility before he would be sadiled Then the Indians blind folded him to get on the bridle.
 The missionary looked on, anything. but edified by the conduct of the braves and fierce temper of the horse. Still, the Indians insisted that they had brought the horse described and they demanded the hundred The mis- sionary explained that though the horse could go like the wind, the rider ran the risk Of having his neck broken before he dismounted. Mere than that. the missionary was net strong enough 10 beat the horse as the Indians had. Besides. he finished tearfully. How can l blindfold the horse whenever I want 10 mount? The Indians replied that all be had to do was to take of his shirt and tie il over the horses head. But conceive. said the man of God. how would look being com pelied 10 take of my shirt every time ] got ou the horse. Why. you Indians know that ! so among whites as well

The Best
is Overlooked

TIE fact that the press dispatches
tell nothing Of the development of
farming shows how little importance
is attached tot his phase of the
States advancement. The Nevadan S,
those who have been there for years,
know little about farming. and care
less.
Those who have gone to Nevada as
a result of the mining excitement are
accustomed to farm, probably, in the
States they left, and at any rate they
did not go to Nevada to farm, but to
scratch fortune off the top of the
ground and then return home; the
great possibilities of the State for
agricultural pursuits escape them,
and they usually fail to find the gold
they went to seek, consequently they
have nothing good to say of the God
forsaken country
Even the press OF n vada fails to
appreciate the greatness Of the new
canal system and rhe prosperity 1T
will bring to that portion of the State
it reaches. Seldom does there appear
any mention of this phase OF the New
Nevada. although any flighty pros
pectOr who gets into Reno can get a
column story about some imaginary
find he has made off in the sage a
hundred miles from any camp. and a
hundred or more men will hit the trail
the next morning in automobiles or
on foot to stake out claims in this
new wonder this Greatest Mine
Since the Old Comstock Days
Nevertheless, an agricultural period
! is dawning in Nevada. There are
great possibilities in this line. and
they will be gradually developed. as
