APPROPRIATE TO HER
wife Of Sick Man Thought She Had
Reason for Appealing to Loco
motive Works.

One day last winter a feeble Irish
woman called upon us for aid. The
cas- sounded urgent, SO I went with
her ut once. Everything was Just as
she had stated. Her husband was
very Ill, she was too old and feeble
to work, their children were dead,
there was no fire and their only food
was bread which their neighbors, al.
most as poor as they, had given them.
I asked her why she had not come to
us before and she replied that she
had appealed to the church and to
several individuals without success.
"Thin," she went on, "Oi wint to tn
big place round the strate.' The only
"big place. neal was a plant for the
manufacture of steam engines, and I
wondered.
But what made you go to the loco
motive works." I asked.
well, ma'am, shure an amt me
old man got locomotive taxes?"-New

A Test Of Friendship.

Just before Artemus Wards death
Robertson poured out some medicine
and offered it to the sick man, who
said: my dear Tom, l won't take
any more of that horrible stuff"
Robertson urged him to swallow the
mixture, saying: "Do, now there's a
dear fellow-for my sake. You know
l would do anything for you"
would you?" said Ward, feebly,
grasping his friends hand for the last
time.
81 would indeed" said Robertson.

OIL Lamps Brighter Than Electric
Limit.

Probably one of the most wonderful
as well as useful of modern inven-
tions is that Of a New York scientist
who has just secured from the Gov
eminent protection on a lamp burner,
which by converting the oil into n.y.
dro.carbon gas, burning on a mantle,
gives an eighty candle power light
with less oil consumption and with
out carbonizing the mantle or over
heating the lamp. 1t can be fitted to
any lamp and the wick lasts a life
time. There is absolutely no danger,
no odor and no smoke. The Union
Light Co., of New York City, have &C.
CURED the selling rights of this burn
er, which is called the "Herzog," after
the inventor, and, we understand, are
making a special discount to introduce
1t into each township with a view of
securing a local representative.

Long Beach, Cal. Nov. 5 Editor Nevada News;
 Perhaps you will find space for word from this edge" of the great American continent.
 We have had a delightful summer and the winter is starting in even more inviting.
 Times are better the country over which means greater business for seaside resorts and especially for Southern California.
 The great paved street from Los Angeles to Long Reach. dis tance of 24 miles, is nearing conn., pletion, which will bring hundreds of auto tourists here. The boule- yard will cost three and half million dollars.
 We have just anneyeu suburbau territory of 10 square miles talk ing in about 5000 inhabitants and giving Long Beach total of 40, GOO. Los Angeles has jumped up to 100000 since 1900.
 Today is unusually warm and there are hundreds of people in the surf bathing.
 The Sousas band has just given us a fine concert.
 At present there are over S4 1, OOO.OOO worth of buildings under construction with some other business blocks to follow.
 I shall long remember the good times had in Nevada county last winter and the many kindnesses shown me by my many friends and also the good quail shooting with the boys yet it Is a relief to dis card a heavy overcoat and keep out of the mud.
 am greatly pleased With the prospects of good roads in Ark ansas that should be as ardently discussed as state wide prohibits ion and as much spent in SouthS west Arkansas as Long Beach and Los Angeles is spending on single 2t mi'a road would improve con ditions wonderfully.

time was a member of the drill team.
He has always taken an active inter
est in the affairs of the camp, and his
interests in such matters are always of
the booster variety.
About a year and six months ago
the camp selected him for its deputy.
and asked District Deputy j. o. Bur
CESS to confirm its selection, which he
did readily enough. That no mistake
was made in choosing him is proved
by the constant and rapid growth of
the camp since he took charge of the
field work of the camp.
Neighbor Herbelin is not only good
deputy, lat is a man of fine fraternal
principles, and his life is a constant
demonstration of the great and under
