IN that girls pure voice stirred her
profoundly. Once long ago u voice
strangely like this had called TO her

But In her moments OF self commun-

Saved by Firefies.
The gigantic tropical fireflies which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes
Of most of the low lying West Indian
Islands once proved the salvation of
the city OF Santo Domingo. A body Of
buccaneers, headed by the notorious
Thomas Cayendlsh, had laid all their
plans for a descent upon the place, in
tending to massacre the inhabitants
and carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could, and had actually
put off their boats for that purpose.
AS they approached the land, however,
rowing with mutlied oars, they were
greatly SURPRISED to see an infinite
number of moving lights in the woods
which fringed the bayou up which
they had to proceed, and, concluding
that the Spaniards knew of their ap-
proach, they put about and regained
their ship without attempting to land.

Odd Mcde of Naval Warfare.
Leroy Tobey of Penn Yam. n. Y,
has a new scheme of naval warfare.
He has written a long letter to the
navy department at Washington In
which he offers 1t to the government.
he proposes that battleships be equip
ped with large supply Of fenceposts
and barbed wire. When the enemy's
vessels come within range pay out
the wire and posts in such a way as
to encircle the enemy's vessels. The
wire will get tangled in the enemy's
propeller, and then It will be easy
enough for the American naval com
manders to lay siege to the disabled
ship or feet until hunger and thirst
force it to capitulate. Mr.. Tobey was
informed that the department could not
adopt this new method of warfare.

the employ of Walter Chedic at his
graphite mine to the southwest of this

The Chinaman has been acting
queerly for some time past and Sat

residents of this city.
Solitude is given as one Of the

Shortly after o'clock Sunday
morning ten car loads of tired but
satisfied people arrived in this city
from Minden and the Carson Valley
Day Celebration was but a pleasant
memory.
All day long thousands Of people
visited points of interest in the Val
ley, enjoyed the hospitality OF the
people of Minden and Gardnerville,
visited the finest creamery and flour
Of the public park and had general
good time. Teams and autos were at
the disposal of those who wished to
journey about the valley and while
many failed to get this chance owing
to the fact that the attendance was SO
great that all could not be accommo-
dated, at the same time the greater
part Of those who desired to take the
trip were accommodated,
The wrestling match which was
pulled off shortly after the noon hour
and was greatly enjoyed and it is the
general impression that ii was the
best match that has ever been pulled
off in the state. The contest resulted
in a tie and it is understood that ar
rangements are now being made to
have the two men wrestlc off the tie
in this city during the Fourth OF July

for their guests was overlook
ed To Mr.. VIM Dangberg and his
committees the greater part OF the
credit belongs but the entire popula-

to make the affair the grand success if
was.
1t was the greatest day the valley
ever saw and it is to be hoped that it
will be repeated yearly.

When the east winds have quit blowing.
and no clouds are in the skies:
When the rubber boots are mended. and
there's something in the flask,
In the language of Ike Walton, what re-

When the troutlet in the streamlet sees

And the nlanlets nose is blistered as the

When the lunchlet DER a clifflet quite by

Think We not that hopes Of triumph are
behind the angler tossed.
Still those hopes will spring triumphant

Still he decorates the bushes with his

For the fishing microbes in him. and 1t
