As to Humility.

Philosophers have quarreled over the
question Of humility, whether or not il
Is a virtue. Since humility is so rare
1t would seem scarcely to be worth dis
cussion. 1t is said that Epictetus in
five places breaches humility: eff thou
passest for person Of consequence in
the opinion Of some people, distrust
myself. No lifting up Of the eyebrows
Be nothing In thine own eyes-if thou
seekest to please thou art lost. Give
place to all men; prefer them to thy.
self; assist them all" Theologians
have contended that humility cos:
nothing to Eptctetus, who was a slave
He was humble by station as the
learned scholar might be proud by sta.
ton. Voltaire calls humility 1.-The mod.
esty Of the soul" These gentlemen
did not live in the twentieth century.

TIME is GROWING SHORT

Two months from today the Amcri-
can Mining Congress will be formally
opened in this city. That is very
short time. Sixty days whirl by in but
seemingly little longer time than sixty
minutes, and it behooves all the mining
interests of the state to exert their ut
most efforts to complete their work for
The mining congress as soon as possible.
exhibits should come rolling on every
Grain that arrives in Goldfeld. Every
outgoing train from every section of the
state should contain invitations to the
congress, and letters and newspaper
articles about Nevada, about the con-
:Zress. about the mineral exhibit, and in
y vein calculated to awaken the desire
20 attend the mining congress and see
Nevada at glance.
The coming mining congress promises
20 he the greatest in point Of attendance,
ZEAL interest, and Importance in the his
rory of the organization. Not alone
will there be the greatest mineral ex-
liibit ever gathered from one section of
a country, and Il long list of notables

tation and in the cabinet of the presi-
.lent-action that will call to the atten-
ion of the people that next to the
agricultural, mining is the greatest in
lustry in point Of production and men
Employed, of the country; that mineral
conservation and the furtherance of
legitimate mining is of as much import

Nevada must not lose sight of the
Importance of the mining congress not

There must b. no cessation of work,
tnd we make plea that all sections
and all interest of the state join enthu-

DEATH OF LITTLE CARL GOOD

Carl X, little son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip Good, died at I:l7 p. m.
Tuesday, December q, 1909, aged
fourteen years, one month ana
thirteen days. Carl had been sick
about thirty days with typhoid
fever, and it was supposed that he
was beginning to convalesce. Sun
day morning his condition was most
favorable, but about eleven O'Clock
he was taken with "A severe chill,
which sappcd all his energy, and
he continued to fail from then on.
On Tuesday morning, just before
twelve O'Clock, the little fellow re-
allied that the fight was too much
for him, and no repeated the Lords
prayer, growing weaker, and finished
/ in an almost inaudible voice. Then
gradually sinking, his brave little
spirit at l:l7 O'Clock sped it's way to
realms of eternal bless. Carl was
a manly, promising and dutiful son
and his bereaved parents have the
sympathy OF all in this great sorrow
that has come into their lives.

SKULL CRUSHED IN A FIGHT.

Ed Freeman assaulted G. G. Short

struck him stinging blow in the
face which knocked him down. In
falling Shorts bead struck the cor
ner of the granitoid pavement,
crushing his skull on the right side
near the back of the head. His con
dition is very serious. Freeman
was arrested and brought to Farm
ington and lodged in Jail. It seems
that Short had garnisheed Free
mans wages, which so incensed the
latter that he made the assault that
resulted so seriously.

the offense alleged is committed
within the bounds of sovereign
State. The attempt to deprive the

in his own vicinage, and to drag

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation ard assists
in the generation Of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR., Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if il
does not benefit he will return
your money.
