the new order, packages will be more
easily handled. but will be more
difficult to trace in case they are lost.
Registered letters and ali first class

fed as regarded the fee that his firm
desired in payment for services rend.
cred to the receiver and the n. & o.
bank. Mr.. Boyd stated that he had
been retained in the first place by
Mr.. Golden and later by Mr.. Hall
and that for the past several months
the greater portion of the time of
the firm of Salisbury and Boyd has
been devoted to the affairs. He
stated that he considered the services
that had been performed by his firm
to be worth $4,000. Chartz question
ed him on many matters regarding
the claim for services and stated
that he Rd not believe he should be
allowed travelling expenses from Reno
to this city because the head Office
OF the receiver was located here and
his offices were in Reno. The court
also questioned Mr.. Boyd and added
that he did not think these claims
should be allowed That he believed
Boyd's expense occurred in his visit
to Sn Francisco was just and that it
was tae courts intention to allow
a reasonable and adequate fee for
services rendered in this matter.
Mr.. Chartz questioned Mr.. Boyd
regarding several reported statements
that were accredited to him and also
about certain transfers that We're
said to have been suggested by Boyd
to Golden. The court stated that he
did not see the necessity of questions
and asked that the questioning be
confined as to whether the fee was
adequate or in excess of a rightful
charge. Mr.. Boyd was still on the
stand and the court ordered a recess
until tomorrow morning at which
time the hearing will be resumed.

No word of advice is needed by

nature, these growing human

as it comes, like daily bread.
For them, the vacation is real,

Have You Written to MOther2

Pray, may ask you, worthy lad,
Whose smile no care can smother,
Though busy life throbS round about,
Have you written home to mother?
You are fast forgetting, aren't you.
quite,
How fast the weeks went flying:
And that a little, blOtted sheet,
Unanswered still is lying?
Don't you remember how she stood,
With wiStful glance at parting?
Don't you remember how the tears
Were in her soft eyes starting?
Have you forgotten how her arm
Stole round you to caresS you?
Have you forgotten those low words;
"GOodby, my son, God bless you?'
Oh. do not wrong her patient love,
Save Gods, there is no other
SO faithful through all miStS of sin:
Fear not to write to mother
Tell her how hard it is to walk
AS walked the Master, lOwly:
Tell her how hard it is to keep
a mans life pure and holy.
Tellher to keep the lamp of prayer
A light, a beacon burning:
Whose beams shall reach you far away
Shall lure your soul returning.
Tell her you love her dearly still,
For fear some sad tomorrow
Shall bear away the listening soul,
And leave her lost in sorrow.
And then, through bitter, fading tears,
And signs you may not smother,
You will remember when too late
You did not write to mother.

District of Louisiana. Certainly
no one in the river parishes of
the district but has had an OPP
pOrtunity, at one point or anoth,

ship of the U. S. Navy, and to
view at first hand the mighty
preparations for defence that the
nation puts into its vessels of
war. If he has thus studied at
close range this gigantic visitor
to our inland waters, he must
also have had his patriotism stir

To the children particularly,
the Mississippi comes as a rev.
elation of the fact that the United
States is a world power, and its
capacity for offense is as great
as of defense, and if it use the
former sparingly it is from
moral greatness, not from lack
of strength.
