That's why like to sec you and

but Pm no worse off than most OF
my friends here. But I've got a
loo OF good hard sense stored up IN
this square granary OF mine and l
want to let you know it. II you
don't thing so, read what | shall
write for the Record-Courier and
become convinced for yourselves.
This Valley is surrounded by
mountains on all sides and some
times we forget what civilized
human beings outside of the Val
lev are doing. We remain on the
farm seven days in the week we
seldom read the daily newspapers
and magazines and We don't often
buy them for our children. Not
knowing what others know and
what others do we sometimes think
we know il all. But we are not
to blame If we have made mistakes
We don't get many chances to
acquire knowledge that. We should
know. But we haven't been afraid
of work; we came here without
nothing and we are all well off
now. We are rearing families
that will soon take our places and
it is high time to see what to do
with them. We should give them
advantages that we have missed.
don't say that we should be
ashamed of our educational short
comings. We ought to be proud
of having felt that fearless desire
in us /, g to country full OF op-
portunities and by our energy and
thrift to develop the finest improv-
ed farmes in the state of Nevada.
But il we want our children to
keep what We have got, If we want
them to grow up an educated peo-
Pile; if we want them to know
American language and American
government; if we want to be sure
that they will not grow up perhaps
spend the dollars made by worn
out muscles, in drink and a lazy
life, we must begin to see what to
do for them.
Ny idea, then is to build up the
schools in this Valley, to train our
children, and | have three Of them,
in the things that farming people
ought to know.
We don't want to make teachers,
or lawyers or doctors or mining
engineers of our boys unless they
have the desire to be professional
men. Then we we can do no bet
ter than to spend every cent we
can afford to make OF them what
God intended for them to be. But
if they have just ordinary intelli-
gence like you and ], and if they
like a good time like you and l
never had chance to have, then
let us begin to see what we can do
to keep our boys and girls on the
farm, so that they can live life OF
happiness and usefulness, and not
feel the lonesomness, the WEAKNESS
and the same-ol old-tding- ay-after-
day life on the farm.
We must remember that our
boys and girls wont have to work

IF HENRY CRAWFORD
 HAD ONLY KNOWN
He Had a Good Chance to Escape
 Consequences of Crime.

The case of Henry Crawford. colored charged with the embezZlement of fur niture the property of F. A. Hough, came before Justice JohnstOne yester- day. Crawford pleaded not guilty, claiming that he had a receipt for the property and if he had stuck to that plea it might have availed him. for MT Hough forgot about the case and was not present when it was called. But Crawford did not know that he would not be there, and he withdrew his plea and pleaded guilty.
 The property had been sold to Craw- ford on the installment plan, the title remaining in MT. Tough. who had ne- glected to record his lease. After mak- ing q few payments on the furniture. Crawford sold il at Morden's second hand store and left the city. He was arrested in TucsSn.
 During his stay in the county jail the startling fact was disclosed that there is such a thing as q black slave traffic. Crawford had lady friend at Douglas who he thought might as sist him financially and he wrote tu her about it. she replied that there was little doing at Douglas and that she had arranged to go to Globe when she learned that that municipality was making the climate unhealthy for wom- cn of her kind regardless of color She was therefore not in position to render any financial aid

SUPREME COURT WAYS.

When the supreme court of the United States assemblies at F o'clock on each Monday the room is filled with lawyers. clerks. newspaper men and spectators. Routine announce ments are made by the chief justice in voice no one can understand. Decisions of great moment are rcn- dcred by other justices in mumbled words which are not heard. Lawyers, clerks. newspaper men and spectators stare hard at the honorable justice who may be talking or reading, some with hands curved into sound board SO that they can catch few words if possible. But no one in the courtroom shouts Louder" No one would last very long if he did And should a person be sentenced for contempt of the supreme court it would be the end.

NERVOUS DYSPEPTlCS
Take a Sensible Remedy and be Cured
 to Stay Cured.

lE ObdN Sui Cu.
 The greatest folly of today is com mitted by people who take digesters to cure indigestion.
 Digesters simply encourage a lazy or tired out stomach to shrk its work by doing most of it's work for it.
 And as every chronic dyspeptic knows from experience, digesters soon lost their efficiency and leave the stomach in a more dilapidated condi- ton than ever.
 The stomach must be strong enough and energetic enough to expand and contract with a sort of churning move mcnt So as to mix the digestive juices with the food. If your stomach isn't strong enough to properly churn the food. you will have indigestion until it gets strong enough.
 And the Lovett Drug Co. states to every dyspeptic in Phoenix that it has remedy called Mi-o-na that will make the stomach strong enough to churn and digest. any kind of food; that will cure, and is guaranteed to cure indigestion, or money back. Mi-o-na tablets only cost 90 cents a large box at the Lovett Drug Co. They will turn an old. worn out stom- ach into a new one in a short time They give quick and joyful relief from heartburn, heaviness after eating. sour food, belching of gas, sick headaches, and other distressing stomach condi- tions
 They stop all nervousness, give you normal appetite. and make you enjoy your meals. They make life happy. eyes bright. and complexion clear. Druggists in every town in America sell Mi-o-na. and the Lovett Drug Co. is the authorized agent in Phoenix.

In half an hour they had joined

Grace.

tells of pious old farmer who has
the habit of gazing at the rafters in
his dining-room when saying grace.
One day while so engaged he for
got himself, and his grace sounded
something like this: 1--WE thank thee
for this food andy Joe! there's that
darned gimlet I've been looking for for
the last six months. I'll have Jim
go up there and get it. Thou hast
been gracious to us, o Lord, and

CHAPTER XL.-Continued.

1t was beyond human endurance to
support the leaden death. The little
square of brass between the sights
wavered. Seagrue stumbled, doubled
on his knees, and staggering plunged
loosely forward on the sand. Whis-
pe.ing Smith threw his fire toward
the bowlder behind which Sinclair
and Barney Rebstock had disappeared.
Suddenly he realized that the bullets
from the point were not coming his
way. He was aware of a second rifle
duel above the bend. Wickwire, worm
ing his way down the stream, had un-
covered Sinclair and young Rebstock
from behind. A yell between the
shots rang across the wash, and the
cringing figure of a man ran out to-
ward Whispering Smith with his hands
high in the air, and pitched headlong
on the ground. 1t was the skulker,
Barney Rebstock, driven out by Wick
wires fire.
The shooting ceased. Silence fell
upon the gloom of the dusk Then
came a calling between Smith and
Wickwire, and a signaling of pistol
shots for their companions. Kennedy
and Bob Scott dashed down toward
the river he'd on their horses. Sea-
grue lay on his face. Young Reb-
stock sat with his hands around his
knees on the sand Above him at
some distance, Wickwire and Smith
stood before a man who leaned against
the sharp cheek of the bowlder at the
point. In his hands his rifle was held
across his lap just as he had dropped
on his knee to fire. He had never
moved after he was struck. His head
dropping a little, rested against the
rock, and his hat lay on the sand; his
heavy beard had sunk into his chest
and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep.
Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the
mountains there was no double for
Murray Sinclair.
When he jumped behind the point to
pick Whispering Smith off the ledge
he had laid himself directly under
Wickwire's fire across the wash. The
first shot of the cowboy at 200 yards
had passed, as he knelt, through both
temples.
