She would often climb the stairs to tell them some bit of village gossip and leave them laughing Al a quaint eem- ment about some inquisitive sister of the church who had happened 10 incur her displeasure.
 As spring came on Douglas carried Polly down to the sunlit garden be meath the window, and Mandy flut tered about arranging the cushions with motherly solicitude.
 More days slipped by and Polly began to creep through the little, soft leaved trees at the back of the church and 10 look for the deep, blue sweet scented violets When she was able Douglas took her with him to visit some of the outlying houses of the poor. Her womans instinct was quick to per ceive many small needs in their lives that he had overlooked and to suggest simple. inexpensive joys that made them her devoted friends.
 Their evenings were divided between making plans for these unfortuDates and reading aloud from the Bible or other books.
 When Polly gained courage, Douglas sometimes persuaded her to read to him. and the little corrections that he made at these times soon became noticea bic in her manner of speech. She was so eager, so starved for knowledge that she drank 1t as fast as he could give it It was during their talks about grammar that Mandy generally fell asleep in her rocker her unfinished sewing still in her lap.

NEVADA MOVES FORWARD.

Under the above head the Ana
conda Standard of October IS pays
the following handsome editorial
tribute to Nevada, the state hal is
attracting such widespread and
favorable attention on account of the
opportunities it presents in it's mar
velous resources:
ror many years Nevada has been
used chiefly by the Southern Pacific
as a right-of-way from Utah to Cali
fornia. The interval between the
boom days of the Comstock and the
discovery of the rich districts of
which Tonopah is the center, furnish
ed little that concerned the public.
Then came the psychological mo-
ment-the transformation from a
quiet, unpretentious state to a
bustling, booming, attractive mining
center. Nevada today is one of the
big, busy, useful, sisters of the
Union. They are doing magnificent
things in and around Ely; Tonopah
is a central point of worldwide i'm
portance and significance. The ter
ritory north of Winnemucca to the
Oregon line is imbibing freely of the
spirit of new life, for the railroad
people are seeing in it great and
wonderful possibilities. Nevada has
passed the sagebrush stage of life
and merged into the important class
of producers"

gets the results; delivers the goods.
But for the fact that it has been
given the Ely district, at cost of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, the
camps few hardy pioneers would
still be struggling for recognition.
But for the publicity paid for and
delivered, the splendid plants with
their millions of dollars worth of
equipment at McGill, the hum of
which has been made heard around
the world, the splendid city of East
Ely, with it's hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of improvements,
the great Copper Flat, with its
world-beating daily output of cop
per ore from steam shovel mining,
the GirouX mine, the Veteran, Ruth
and Star Pointer, would today be
non-extant in industry: dreams only
of a possible future, while by their
idleness the world would be the
poorer for the lack of the millions
of dollars our metal output is now
adding to her wealth. The money
that made these enterprises possible,
that has given real estate value in
the district, thai gives us all oppor-
tunity to be here today to share in
the splendid prosperity of the camp
and to look forward to ever improv-
ing conditions, every dollar of it.
came from publicity. And it is to
publicity that the recent increased
movement, vigor and enthusiasm in
and about the district is due. Think
it over and we believe you will agree
with us, and perhaps conclude thai
there is a larger part for you to dc
here than you have been doing in
furtherance of the publicity pro

thanks:
The special edition sof the White

Nevada, on the occasion of the meet
ing of the National Mining congress,
was one of great credit to the pub
fishers, and should prove very valu-
able advertising for Ely district and
Nevada in general. 1t was a 32-page
edition, profusely illustrated, con-
tanning a number of special articles
of merit, and withal one of the best
newspapers ever published in the
state.-The Western Publisher, Chi

Darwin concluded that there must be
tides IN the solid earth as wen as In
the fluid seas. but be was unable to
detect them. and his only conclusion
was that the earth'n mass was very
rigid--at least as rigid as steel DR..
Hecker now confirms this conclusion,
but with bis improved instruments
and methods be has been able 70 de-
tect and measure the amount BY which
the moon pulls the solid earth out Of
shape twice a day. Or. Hecker's meas
urements, which lasted continuously
more than two years, were to ascer-
tain the lunar influence on the earth's
gravity by observing the oscillations

comparing bis results with the figures
as calculated for a rigid earth that
be was abIs to detect the tidal de-
formation caused by the pun Of both

lums were complicated series Of
bars joined together, and they were
installed in a specially designed brick
lined room seventy.five feet below the
surface az the ground, where the tenn

their position was kept by means OF
