Sewing CARPET RAGS,

The first thing 10 do when you
wish to sew rag carpets OH your ma
chine Is to sort The rags and bring
the straight edges along the warp
ends. For solid colorcd balls lap the
ends an inch on each other. but un-
equally, so the width Of n carpet
rag will project at either side when
the seam is finished. Use u fine
thread and short stitch and sew
the lap through three times, The re-
suit will be 4 bag which will be the
least bit crooked. Begin cutting or
tearing at one Of the pieces which
has been left standing out and cut
around until YOU come TO another
piece which has been standing out.
In this way you have continuous
strip, with none Of the ugly tag ends
left standing out

THE GIRoUX MEETING.

The meetings held yesterday by The
stockholders of the Giroux in New
York determined two things: that
the Cole-Ryan interests are in COM
mand and that the company treasury
has been provided with an ample
fund of cash for the immediate con
duct of the big work it has ahead
before it can be placed in the list
of bullion producers.
These things mean vast deal 10

in shaping them for production. and
upon reduction works which will be
built for the handling of the ores
produced from these mines.
The interests now in control of
Giroux are in no manner novices at
any part of the mining business.
They know il from mucking to the
loading of bullion in the cars and
the paying of dividends from the

counted upon 10 have overlooked no

The Democratic legislature has
found opportunity TO escape from at
tention To the business of Nevada
through the suggestion of some
ehump that it take up the business
of California and advise the legisa-
ture of that state as to what il should
do. Ii is of course an assinine per-
Torrance. and in consequence strict
ly in conformity with Democratic
rules and regulations. Its chief re-
suit will be 10 provide the outside
world With another laugh at the ex-
pense OF the sage brush state. wherein
the performance will not be without
its good points. for it is good to make
the individual or the world laugh.
The more merriment We can scatter
around the beser. However. the
superstition has been that phe men,
bers of the present legislature were
put on the pay roll to do business for
Nevada and not for other states in
which We nave no large amount OF
interest and which are more abund-
antly able to attend to their owr
business than We happen 10 be to at
tend to ours in this year OF Demo
cratic supremacy in Nevada, Per
haps. though. We are in luck becaus,
of the switching of attention. Al
idea turks around that the less at
tention the legislature gives to tn,
affairs of the state the less the treas
ury deficit will be and the better of
the people.

course
Those priests couldn't see any
farther than the nose on their face
only their vision extended no farther
than Peter and John. If they had
looked beyond Peter and John, they
would have seen God they would
have realized that 1t was God they
were fighting. And how foolish 20
fight God.
God has his channels in the
world today-men through whom He
Is speaking -messengers whom He
has sent to denounce wrong and to
warn the people of their danger.
Their only object is TO do the world
good. But the world cant see any
farther than the nose on its face.
Because these messengers fearlessly
point out somebody's faults. not for
the mere sake of doing SO. but in
order that that person may be cured
of his or her evil ways, and that
good alone may come, that person
gets mad at the messenger They
ought TO get mad with God. And
how foolish to get mad with God.
Like the priests of old, they try to
block up Gods channels; like Lone
Wolf they endeavor TO lasso the To-
connective What's the use? What s

ing His messengers? Suppose you
do? Why. God will simply raise up
some other messengers. That's all.
How foolish TO fight God. God

wants you To come TO Him. You be-
long 10 Him. He speaks to you of

THE PERFECT LAW

Rev. J. r. Barr of the Methodist
church spoke from the following text
on Sunday.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul; the testament of
the Lord is sure, making wise the
simple. The statutes of the Lord are
right. rejoicing the heart; the COM
mandment of the Lord is pure. en-
tightening the eyes. The fear of the
Lord is clean. enduring forever. the
judgments of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether Pisa. 1891,
\. 9.
He said in part: \ most natural
thing II is to seek a rule of proceed

erring law prevails. In the vegetable
kingdom an eternal rule is adhered
to- In the animal kingdom there is
the persistent. earnest quest for the
unerring rule In the case of the
brute. IL is instinetively sought. and

SERMONS OF. MINISTERS IN THE
CHURCHES OF THE DISTRICT

In the mining camps during the
week, Sam C. Gilman. the Presby-
terrain missionary for the Ely district.
spoke on Channels for God. He
told the story of the trial of Peter
and John, who were brought before
the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. because
they preached the gospel of Jesus
Christ. And in SO doing threatened
the permanency of the established
church These two disciples had
cured lame man lying at the gate
in the temple called beautiful; il
filled all Jerusalem with wonder and
amazement. so much so that many
+ began to believe on Jesus Christ. and
+ the priests of Juda became alarmed.
/ They summoned the apostles before
! the Sanhedrin. and commanded thai
the two should speak no more in
] the name of Christ.
Foolish simple priests. said MIR.
! Gilman. they were like Lame Wolf,

could stop the steam horse coming
across his wide domain. One day he
drew up his pony where the white
man had built a great highway

stretching of to where earth and sky
seemed To blend. Off at distance
he saw the iron monster coming rap
idly toward him. shooting off sparks
of fire and leaving a long line of
smoke behind Lone VOLTS face
grew dark. and he gathered up the
lasso rope wound around his saddle.
\ sudden inspiration got hold of him
a grim determination was upon him.
+ He would lasso the thing. and il
would bother him no more. To make
sure that it would not get away from
him. he tied one end of the lasso
+ rope around his body. The other
end he gathered in loop. and wait
ed. Presently, the roaring. Kissing
! believing thing was by his side. and
+ Lone Wolf let the lasso fly. 1t came
squarely down over the engine

Lone Wolf took notion to hnrriedl!

ments Lone Wolf bounded over the
ground. rolling. tumbling. making
about ten feet at jump. and i
