(From our Special Correspondent
NINA, March 28.-Just line for
publication in your live paper about
what is doing in this part of the state.
To begin with, the legislature has
adjourned and the members from this
part of the state have returned home,
and are busy explaining "how it hap
pened" that this and that measure
succeeded, or failed, to pass. OF
course, we voters in making an
analysis of their talk will have to al
low a large percentage for hot air,
but there is one thing certain that
Nevada will go Republican by a
large majority two years hence.
We have had quite little excite
ment in the mining line within the
month at this place. The find looks
good so far. There have been a few
assays made from grab samples, and
give returns from SIC to $2S free
gold. The former figure is from the
surface and the latter from the bot
tom of an eighteen-foot shaft. The
locators are not peddling any hot
air over their finds, but are working
away like beavers. Everyone in this
location is feeling good over the
prospective improvements that are to
be made in this part of the state this
summer.
The Nevada and Carson railroad is
to be broad-guaged; a new line is to
be built from Mono lake to connect
with the Tonopah and Goldfield rail-
road at Tonopah Junction; also line
from Tonopah to Ely. When these
roads are completed the residents Of
this part of the state will have some
choice as to which road is best en-

Stop! IT'S here her pass by,
Pass by in the early summer,
Roses blooming, air perfuming,
Beauty of all beauties wonder
Proud old earth that stately bore her,
Bore her stately hither, thither,
Never signing, smiling
Bearing sunshine good cheer, with her.
Look! Methnks see her coming,
Coming hither slowly,
Gently stepping care forgetting
See her features pure and holy
Tenderly she bows about her,
Bows to both the proud and lowly,
Never wearyng cheering,
Faith and hope inspiring only. .
Hank! | feign l hear the music
Of her footsteps, light and airy,
Earth caressing, heaven blessing,
Less a woman fairy
Music waited by the breezes,
Tendery their burden bearing,
Never chilling, thrilling,
Body, mind and soul uplifting
All! IT'S ended vain longing
Longing vainly for her coming.
No more dreaming seeming
To exist, but true life living
Faith is victor, hope has triumphed,
Patience has It's reward granted
Joyous greeting. happy meeting
Let's rejoice, the siege is ended.

In Omnibus.

A London bus driver was hailed by
a clerieal-looking old gentleman, and
on the first opportunity he remarked
to the conductor: do you know who
you've got inside, Bill? It's Cardinal
Mannin'!" go on, that amt Car
dinal Mannin'." said the conductor, Il
know i'm" They argued further, and
finally bet a shilling over it. When
collecting fares the conductor deter,
mined to set matters right by direct
inquiry. Excuse me, sir, but are you
Cardinal Mannin'?" The venerable
passenger looked him coldly and bold
ly in the eye, and answered: What
the devil has that got to do with you?"
The conductor was satisfied, but even
at the sacrifice of a bob he had to get
even with the passenger. Putting his
head out of the door he called UP to
the driver: "You are right, Bill; it
was is ~'oliness."

Der. The result of this rule is that
now on the opening days of congress
the desks of the members are bare Of
floral decorations. In the old days
both House and Senate were turned
into Conservatives for the time of
the opening proceedings.
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon
called the House to order and asked
the chaplain, Rev. Henry N. Couden,
to offer prayer. In his prayer which
was in a a Thanksgiving offer
ing, the chaplain referred to the pros
perity of the country, the opportuni.
ties of the present and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.
Absentees Are Few.
AS soon as the prayer was ended
the clerk Of the House called the roll
of membership by states and 1t was
found that there were only a few alb.
sentees. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk Of the Senate who had ap-
peared in the House was recognized,
and he announced that the Upper

Among the curiosities Of tree life is
the solar, or whistling tree, Of Nubia.
When the winds blow wei this tree
1t gives out futelike sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies. It is the
spirit of the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the sci
entific white man says that the sounds
are due to a myriad Of small holes
which an insect bores In the spines
OF the branches. The weeping tree Of
the Canary islands is another boreal
freak. This tree in the dryest wealth
er will rain down showers from it's
leaves, and the natives gather up the
water from the pool formed at the foot
Of the trunk and find 1t pure and
fresh. The tree exudes the water from
innumerable pores at the base Of the
leaves.

TOOK THE OLD FELLOW BACK
Actors Joking Remark a Considerable
Shock to the Dignity Of the
Old Gentleman.

There is a Thanksgiving story about
Henry e. Dixey, the comedian, that his
friends at the Lambs never tire of tell
ing.
Mr.. Dixey, while visiting Philadel-
phia one autumn, attended a very
~aristocratic Thanksgiving ball in Rit-
tenhouse square.
While supper was being served, Mr..
Dtxey ranged himself behind the sup
per table with the u or Is walters
busy there. Soon a mild hammered old
gentleman with white hair approached
the actor, glass in hand.
Would you mind filling my glass
with champagne, please" he said.
Mr.. Dixey started, drew himself up
and said, with a look of horror:
Certainly not, sir; certainly not.
You have already had more than is
good for you"

HIS OFFER NOT APPRECIATED
Elderly Gentleman May Have Meant
Well, But the Damssl Was
Suspicious.

The plump waiter girl at the lunch
counter, having nothing to do at the
moment, was trying to reach with her
f%ingernails a place on her back well
up between the shoulders, but with
her short and chubby arms she was
unequal to the task. In vain she
squirmed and struggled, and twisted
her face. She failed to achieve the
desired connection.
The elderly man on the outside Of
the counter, who had been fighting a
piece of overdone steak, leaned for
ward and spoke to her in a low tone,
but with intense earnestness.
my dear young woman" he said,

has grandchildren almost as cid as
you are. but if you will come & little
closer 1 shall take pleasure in scratch
ing that spot for you. as l see that you

house was present and that congress
was ready to receive any communica-
ton that he may be pleased to
make" On receipt Of this message
from the senate, Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed a committee to join a like
committee of the Senate to wait upon
the president. The members of the
body directed to notify Mr.. Taft that
the House was in session were by the
appointment of the speaker. the Re-
publican leader. Serene E. Payne, and
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark.
The first day in the House as usual
brought out hundreds of legislative
measures in bill form, all of which
were read by their title only and re-
ferred to the proper committees. It
was evident from the tone of the bills
introduced that some scores of repre-
sentatives were anxious to father
measures which had been recommend
ed by President Taft as being neces-
sary to carry out proposed policies of
progression. The bills ranged from
those intended to correct alleged ex-
isting evils in interstate commerce to
those to give increases of pensions to
veterans of the civil war.
Applause Greets Speaker Cannon.

officer. He was greeted with great
applause from the galleries and from
the floor of the House, many of the
Democrats and insurgents joining in
the demonstration, though in either
case possibly the hand clapping was
given as an evidence of regard for the
office of speaker, rather than as evil
dence of any overweaning affection
for the speaker himself.
With the committees ready to begin
work, the House will settle down to
it's winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
all measures must be considered
in committee, and the meetings of the
committees will be held daily from
now until the Christmas holidays and
some of the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles in Janu-
airy many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
Of the winter will begin.
Opening of the Senate.
Vice-President Sherman called the
Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed.
ward Everett Hale, the chaplain of
the Senate, having died during the
summer recess, his place as chaplain,
temporarily was taken by a local
clergyman who offered prayer. In the
Senate the roll was called and it was
found that nearly all the Senators
were in their seats. The resolutions
were adopted to the effect that com
mittees be appointed to inform the
House and the president that the Sen.
ate had assembled and was ready to
begin the business of the session. AS
was the case in the House many bills
were introduced for consideration dur
ing the winter by senator's who, like
the representatives, desire to have a
hand in forwarding administration pol.
icies.
After a comparative short session
"in the open," the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose of considering nomina-
lions for office sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.

OF.NAT|ON
BEGIN THEIR WORK
Sixty-FirSt Congress Meets in
Regular Session.
BRILLIANT THRoNG PRESENT
House Greets Speaker Cannon with
Great AppIause-Many "Taft Pol
icy" Bills introduced in Both
Chambers.
BY EDWARD B. CLARK.

Washington. Dec. S.-At noon to-day
Vice President Sherman in the Senate
and Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon in the
House called to order the Sixty-frst
congress of the United States for its
first regular session. Really the first
session of this congress was the extra
ordinary n of last spring called to
revise the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings Of the first day in the cap
itol because at the beginning of the
extraordinary session in March last
the speaker. of the House was elected.
Moreover, before the extraordinary
session was ended, Speaker Cannon
appointed all the committees which
are to take legislation under consid-
GRAFTON for the next two winters. The
appointment of the committees ended
the campaign on the part of the mem.
bers for CHOICE chairmanships and, If
the chairmanships were not forthcom-
ing, for seats in the more important
subsidiary bodies of the House.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over ~jealousies and rivalries and so it
is that, so far as committee work is con
cerned, the House not only is ready
to proceed at nee to consider legisla-
ton, but most of the members have
brought themselves into a frame of
mind to do what they are called upon
to do without regard to their past feel
ings of disappointment and perhaps,
anger.
AS is always the case on the open
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were jammed with people. All
classes Of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors.
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as we'll, was filled
to its fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the la
dies of the different legations. Mem
bers Of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries, and the cabinet and judici-
airy and army and navy circles were
we'll represented.
BY a rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as a tribute to
the memory to some deceased men,
