ROUTING THE WHITE PLAGUE.

The state of Iowa has hired a preacher for the past four years to do nothing but travel around and tell the people to stay at home, work not worry. It has organized the most extensive Cheer Up system ever perfected. It urges every citi- zen to wear the smile that wont come off, and to take no heed of a possible tomorrow of suffering, mis- cry and death.
 Now ,and then this preacher takes a flying trip to other parts of the country: Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and similar famous health re- sorts. Every time he returns more firmly convinced of the merit of the work he is carrying on and more eloquent in his eXhortations to do little, breathe plenty of fresh air and eat plenty of wholesome food. Last summer he visited Colorado
 
 to face with the hectic-cheeked eX- ;les from home, who Wearily asked him for the latest word from loved ones and dolorously coughed their way down the street, summed of all the native-born.
 Don't, don't let them continue to come out here for treatment and to die of honesickness, urged town after town. Its the separation from Eome and loved ones that is killing g them, rather th,an the consumption. It's the breaking up of established habits the tearing of life out by the very roots that is making the cheek redder and the cough more racking. Three-fifths of those who come here as 'lungers" go back home as corps es. While thep ceep soul and body together their life is miserable. We can't take them into our homes, they are .unclean. They are strangers in n strange land, eXiles if there ever were any They live apart until finally the homesickness and the change do the work and the fight is over. If you have any of the milk of human kindness left in your body keep your white plague victims at home where they can eith- CT be cured or can die in comfort. We don't want them and can do nothing for them From "To Get We'll at Home,' in June Technical World Magazine.

 Far more than their brains the emotional natures of such children need cultivation. Far more import ant than learning to read is learn ing to love and trust. Vices of temperament must be unlearned, bad habits must be overcome, a whole garden full of weeds must be clear cd away before the soil is ready for planting. After that the task is not fraught with serious difficulties.

The company has rented HOO acres from Judge Basham, near Wrightsville and the crops on that Iand are doing well. The corn planted by the company is i'll ad- vance of other crops in the neishbor- hood and the company is especially proud of it's alfalfa crop, one cut ting of which this spring has pro- duced one and three-quarters tons CT acre.
 The alfalfa hay is being fed with mixed feed to the company's work stock ,and nothing will be sold from the land of the company that can Le utilized fer the stock.

Edmond Hoyle, who, over one hun dred and fifty years ago, netted a small fortune from his lessons in whist. All the fashionable world of London was agog, as far back as l745, over Hoyle's treatises on whist and his whist lessons to the ladies and gentlemen of the day. There was a great stir over Hoyle's taking money for his lessons, and many were the pamphlets, parodies, and skits that resulted from it.
 About Hoyles antecedents, but lit tie is known. He was born in 1872; it is said that he was elected for the bar, but he soon developed wond- erful talent for all sorts of card games, and decided to seek living from writing books and pamphlets on the prevailing games of the time. Of his first edition of his Short Treatise,' there is only one known copy, that in the Bodleian Library Arthur Loring Bruce, in June Aims lees.

TEACHING AUCTION
 INSTEAD OF WHIST

These are halcyon days for the teachers of bridge in New York and in other large cities. They have all deserted bridge, and are teaching au- otion in it's stead AS auction is a new game in Amerieon, compar- atively few people know how to play it with anything like good judg- ment The teachers are asking as high as ten dollars an hour for sin gle pupils, and thirty dollars an hour for four pupils. At this rate, some of them must be making as much as twenty thousand dollars a year, a very fair sum to net for five or six hours of daily work dur ing the winter months.
 AS matter of fact, there is a well authenticated historical precedent for such heavy profits in teaching whist. I allude, of course, to the celebrated

WHAT THE BACKWARD
 CHILD NEEDS

The greatest need of the average backward child, after his physical defects have been removed and his body given a decent chance to devel- op, is a moral awakening, says Rhe- ta Childe Door in the course of an article describing the public school work for backward children in the June Hampton's. Virtually all such children are selfish, passionate, and malicious. They love to destroy. They love to inflict pain. They de- light in disturbing the order of a class room. Almost always are they untruthful, and very frequently are they thievish.
 Why not? They live in a state of constant struggle with the world an unequal struggle in which their miserable little souls are daily and hourly crucified. Around them is a world of normal children who learn easily things beyond the power of the backward to acquire; who are praised and loved and rewarded. In the play ground the backward chill dren enviously watch the others per- form feats of strength and skill. Sometimes the dullard or the handi- capped child tries to break into a game or contest, and is pushed

COTTON CROP IS IN SPLENDID SHAPE Much-Needed Rains Game In Time-Seeds Now
 Sprouting. CORN PROSPECT GOOD .n Spite of the Replanting, the State Will Have d Normal Crop, Though
 1t Will Be Late.
CORN PROSPECT GOOD

Little Rock, May 1S.-Accordin2 to several planters of this vicinity the rains of Sunday and Monday lights have made normal crop for this year almost a certainty, except that the crop will be from two to three weeks Late.
 The opinion seems to be shared by all that the dry spell of the past few weeks has enabled the planters to work the ground much better than was anticipated after the re- cent cold snap and that the cotton which was planted in place of that killed by the frost is either all up or will be up within few days.
 Crops in Good Shape.
 John NJ. Oracle said that the crop prospects were very much improv- ed by the warm rains and th.et the cotton was in good shape, except for the delay of about three weeks He said that it would be about ten cays before the chopping would be commenced on his plantations, but that the replanted cotton was mak- ing very good showing The corn on the Oracle plantations is also looking we'll and good crop of that staple is expected.
 Judge Geo. l.. Basham said that the rains had been of incalculabla benefit, as the cotton had all been replanted since the frost killed off the first planting. Up to the past few days the seed had shown nc signs of germination, but the warm rains had brought out the cotton in good shape and he thinks his cror will not be more than two or three weeks late. He said that he had rented two large tracts to the Homestead Planting Company and from what he had heard from that company, the prospects were good on those tracts, also.
 Rain Was Much Needed.
 c. N. Alexander said that the rain Of Sunday night was much needed but that of Monday night was an oversupply. A great part of his land was flooded, but he thinks the dry weather which will follow these rains will bring the crop out in good shape Cotton and corn. he said, are coming along very clowly hut few days of sunshine after the recent rains will make the crop al- most as early as ordinary.
 s. L. Kay, manager of the Home stead Planting Company, said that lis company had $500 acres under cultivation, which was planted in diversified crops as the company did not wish to make a speciality oi any one staple.
 He thought the rains had been of great benefit and said that the cot ton under his charge was getting slong nicely. On some of the sandy lands chopping was begun yesterday end from day to day the work would be begun on other tracts.

COON MASCOT OF
FIRE DEPARTMENT
MEETS HIS DEATH
PET OF THE LADDIES Is KILLED
WHEN CAUGHT STEALING
CHICKENS.

Bob" the coon pet of the fire
department is no more. The animal
that generally accompanied the
wagon during the midday exercise
drives, has taken his last free ride
on this earth, and the next time he
goes skipping over the ground will
be in chariot in coon heaven. The
pet was presented to the fire boys
a number of months ago by Mrs.
Fred Corkill, who brought him
from California. Bob took to the
life of fireman like fish takes to
water and made himself right at
home at the firehouse.
About week ago it was decided
that Bob was in love with his home
and there was no necessity for
keeping him chained up. The fet-
tiers were cast to one side and the
animal pursued his every day life
without variation. However, yes
terday morning Bob was missing
and no tidings could be heard from
| him.
Last night about 10 O'Clock there
was big commotion in the chicken
house belonging to Jack Hall. Ont
of the, employees, armed with 2:
caliber rifle went out to investigate
He suddenly stopped when he saw
two glazing eyes shining out of tn,
darkness. A hasty sight was takel
with the rifle, and a second late
Bob was taking his flight toward
some distant land. The bullet ha
entered square between the eyes.
Investigation disclosed the fac
that thirty chickens had been kille
while forty pair of squads were ais
counted among the deceased. Bo
had taken advantage Of every me
ment spent in the chicken house.
A big chicken and SQUAD mulliga
is scheduled at the H. ]. Hall L

ATTEMPTS TO
EMULATE BADMAN;
IS ARRESTED
HABIT OF BRANDISHING GUN
RESULTS DISASTROUSLY
FOR ENGLISHMAN.

George Moore, the Englishman,
who gained fame few months
ago by engaging in one round
bout with the eagle that was in cap
tivity back of the fire house, said
bout resulting in voctory for the
bird of freedom, was arrested yes
terday by Chief of Police Malley,
on complaint charging him with
hrandishing weapon in rude,
angry aud threatening manner.
1t appears that Moore, while in
toxicated terrorized the neighbor-
hood in the vicinity of Oddie ave-
nue. and Water street, by appearing
on the thoroughfare and brandish'
ing revolver. He went through
the performance Sunday morning
! unmolested, but when he attempted
to execute the same war dance
yesterday, the neighbors objected
and swore to a complaint. Tit
hearing will take place today in thu
justice court.

BANK CASHIER
FEARED WRATH OF
angry Miners
+. IL. STICKNEY DEPARTS FROM
RHYOLITE WHEN VIOLENCE
WAS THREATENED.

T. H. Stickney, who at the time
of the closing of the First National
bank of Rhyolite, occupied the po-
sitfon of cashier of that institu-
ton, silently folded his tent last
Thursday and departed for parts
unknown.
The attitude of the miners in the
Rhyolite district, who had their
savings on deposit in the bank,
was not to Mr. Stickney's liking,
and it is evident that he greatly
feared their wrath. Anyway he de-
parted without indulging in adieus
and now the people of Rhyolite are
seeking him in other pastures. II
was rumoref that stickney went tc
Reno, but late advices received from
the south section of this county
states that it was impossible tc
locate the missing cashier in thu
northern town.

Tang barrow, died at / O'Clock
Sunday morning, Baker was

EASTER WAS A
BAD DAY FOR THE
CHANIECLER HAT
NEW SPRING BONNET PARADE
CALLED OFF BY THE
WEATHER.

Curses. Not the loud, coarse,
profane curses as INDUCED in by
mankind, but real gentle, angry ex-
carnations as can only be uttered
by the fair sex. The trouble arose
Easter morning when the weather
became just as nasty and contrary
as it could be. In every home
in Tonopah, where one of the fair
sex resides, handsome Easter
bonnet, and in some places two or
three, had been purchased. 1t was
the one desire of owners to wear
the aforesaid piece of headgear to
the morning services at the differ
ent churches, and of course the
wearer would be privileged to cast
a few disdainful glances at the less
expensive creations as worn by her
sisters in the parade.
But the weather had to spoil
everything and the churchgoers ap-
peared on the streets wearing theil
everyday bonnet. Just about the
time that the procession was sched
uled to start, it commenced snow
ing. Then it hailed. More snow
and more hail The wind through
out blew a hurricane and was beau
tifully punctuaated with additional
decoctionS of snow and hail How
ever, the Easter parade has no
been postponed, and should mex
Sunday be bright and fair, the orr
ginal procession of Chanticler hea'
coverings can be observed and fol
lowing that, the new hat will b
here to stay.
