Song Of the Nevada Prospector


The world is my house, for wherever !
l can live where my poverty pleases;
No rent settling day and no taxes to
pay;
No signing of long winded leases,
My palace is built with blanket and
quilt,
My roof is the star-studded sky;
While boiled beans and bacon, three
times a day taken,
Are filling as beefsteak and pie.
IF the diet is greasy. the housework is
easy,
And the lodging is airy and free;
So don't give damn for any damn
Who don't give damn for me.
1 can hit a good lick with hammer or
pick,
I can feast upon coffee and crackers;
IF the dirt doesn't pay, I'm off the next
On the hurricane deck of a jacl1ass.
1 have prospects and claims of most
wonderful names,
All bulgihg with mythical riches;
But promoters take flight when they
cath the first sight
Of the patch in the seat of my breaches.
The coppers stain-there's no true
assure vein
The COLDS neither base nor free;
Still don't give damn for any damn
Who don't give damn for me.
When my jack takes hike down the
long desert pike,
Your housekeeping racer amt in it;
On q mountain side course the Arabian
Can skin a whole block in mint.
1 am ragged and rough, bearded, sun
burned and tough,
My follies are harmless and human;
I'll down a strong bumper or shoot Il
claim jumper.
But dursn't say No" to IL woman.
With any poor sinner, I'll share my lone
DINNER,
The red-eye and plug cut are free;
But I don't give damn for any damn
Who don't give II damn for me.

II is persistently rumored in rail
road circles that President W. A.

Railroad Co, viii soon resign the po-
sition to accept the general manage
meni Of the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road. Il is understood that President
Garrett will be succeeded by Agent
to The Receivers j. g. Haas.
While the rum0rs cannot be con
Grmed in Atlanta, ii is Understood
that they originated from a source
that Is quite close to the AtIlnuc
Coast Line II Is understood that
the reason Of President Garretts
reported plan TO resign is that he has
been offered much better position
with the Coast Line
He is known as one Of the best or-
Grating railroad officials in this terri
tory. and the operating department
Of the Seaboard has been greatly i'm
proved under his administration. His
service with the Queen and Crescent
railroad as general manager before
he went with the Seaboard resulted
n many benefits To tbat road.
Agent TO the Receivers Haas was
recently appointed to that position
having acted long time as assistant
general manager for the Baltimore

The Oldest Eorenama.

In ancient times people had one
name only. as Adam or David, and in
order to distinguish persons of the
same name 1t was the custom to affix
the description 'son Of" Isaac or Jo-
seph, as the case might be. Thus we
get Solomon ben David among the
Hebrews and Evan ap Richard among
the Welsh, to quote two examples. Al
though the argument that those names
were not strictly "forenames' is not
without weight, yet 1t Is responsible
to accept them as such, seeing that the
application had to be supplemented by
another for the sake of distinction.
We are therefore entitled to include
them within the scope of the question.
Adam and other early Biblical names
are regarded as the oldest for obvious
reasons; but, excluding these, the
choice falls upon Marmaduke, which
Is the modern rendering of the ancient
Chaldean Meridug, also written Maru-
duk and Merodach, the god who inter-
coded constantly between the angry
Ea and the humble Damikna, his IA
Their and mother. The Romans used
both forenames and family names, and
OF the former two that date back about
$500 years are still with us-namely,
Marcus and Lucius, represented In
modern tongues by Mark and the fem
mime Lucy. The old form Marcus n
still retained In some families.

THIS Greenland Craft Is q Most Diff
cult One to Handle.

This Greenland Craft Is q Most Din
| cult One to Handle.
There is no craft so difficult to han.
die as the Eskimo kayak. The only
boat familiar to us which in any way
resembles 1t is the racing shell, but II
a crack oarsman of one of our crack
colleges were tied into kayak and
told to shift for himself even in smooth
water he would have a hard time of 1t.
The kayak has been evolved through
hundreds of years of necessity. With
out 1t the Greenland Eskimos at least
would not be able to provide their daily
bread, or, more properly speaking.
their daily blubber.
1t Is singular that all the materials
used in the construction of the KAYAK
come from the sea-driftwood for the
frame, sealskin for the covering.
thongs for the harpoon and dart. ivory
and bone for bow, stern and keel and
for the various implements. The wom-
en- prepare the skin covering and
stretch it over the frame till it is as
tight and firm as the head of a drum.
On such occasion there Is great ex-
element in the community. A regular
Kayak bee" is held; even refreshments
are not lacking, for the owner Of the
kayak treats to coffee all around when
the work is satisfactorily done.
The completed boat is a triumnh Of
ingenuity and skill. 1t is about eight
cen feet long, sharply pointed at each
end. Its greatest depth is six inches
and its width about eighteen. It is
entirely covered save for the little
round hole into which the owner slips
pushing his feet underneath the skin
deck in front.
This hole is fitted to the person for
whom the boat is designed, and his
thighs completely fill it up. When he
Is seated in it and his waterproof |
jacket Is tied securely round the edge
he Is able to defy the waves which
wash over him or the rain which beats
upon him. The six thong loops ar
ranged on the deck in front and the
three or four behind hold his imple-
ments-bird darts, lances, knives and,
@~~~Ss AA@PoA SnhI VI oil, LIS uATpOOQ. a
little stand is arranged directly in front
OF him, upon which is coiled the har-
poon line, and behind him on the
kayak is the harpoon bladder, which ,s
attached, inflated ready for use, to the
line.
The most expert are apt sometimes
to be overturned. 1t may be by the
attack Of walrus or even a seal, by a
careless movement or an unexpected
" large wave. If he does not right
at once, he is inevitably drown
ID unless a comrade comes to his as
Instance. The usual method of turning
The kayak upright again is by using
the paddle as q lever, holding it along
The side Of the boat, pointing it toward
The bow, then sweeping 1t through the
water, but those who are thoroughly
proficient are able to do it by means of
heir throwing stick, their arm or even
heir hand
