ARE NATIONS LESS WARLlKE?

II takes a long time for civilization
TO uproot the warlike temperament OF
humanity. Notwithstanding the fact
that peace is universally praised. ma
tions go to war just as soon as their
pride and interests are involved.
They know perfectly well that by re-
sorting to war, they have nothing to
gain, but all to lose: yet in a mo-
n.ent of passion. they deem arbitra-
ton a travesty. and consider peace a
farce.
Men have not so advanced in civil
iZation that they will let internatlon-
2! disputes be settled by peaceful
means. except unimportant contrO-
versies Peace, like Christianity in
the early apostolic period. is perhaps
all ideal too advanced for ordinary
people. and 50. at present. they can
rot appreciate it.
Ii is, however. hopeful that men
are gradually becoming less warlike.
There are many men i'll every cOun-
try who devite their time to advo-
eating peace. Results from their ef-
forts are tremendous. But peace
advocates in Italy seem not to exert

gives the authors ideas in their true
relation as to importance. and thus
vitality helps the understanding.
Moreover, it lends interest to the
study of literature. and interest is
universally recognized to be a great
aid to effective work.
Again. the oral Interpretation of
literature is peculiarly adapted to
university extension courses. While
a trained student will listen attentive
L. to a lecture about an author, the
ordinary man would much rather
hear the author. He must be amused.
The oral Interpretation of literature
is educational entertainment. Mr.
Painter thinks that twO-thirds of the
time of lectures in extension work in
literature should be devoted to the
sympathetic reading of selections
from the authors.
The ability to orally interpret lit
erature promises. moreover, to be an
art well worth acquiring. When one
has once learned to read sympathet-
'Cally, to give vocal emphasis to I'M
Dortant words and phrases, he un-
consciously carries interpretativC
values to his silent reading. This
unconscious emphasis gives clearer
pictures. more tangible images than
those obtained by the usual dead

offers a vital literature to the silent
reader.

how he is always ready to back up {

resources of the town and advancing
its interests.
When the proposal to give Love-

year came up, Mr.. Pitt, who was one
of the delegates gave the proposi
tion enthusiastic support. In the
discussion some lodge member from
one of the west-side countys who
was opposing the proposition said,
"Why Lovelock is a barren place,
there are no trees there" TO this
Mr. Pitt quickly replied 81 have
more trees on my ranches at Lovelot

Keep the flies away with con-
tagious diseases. Kill every fly
that strays into the sick room. His
body is covered withdiseasegerms.
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises. All refuse which
tends in any way to fermentation
such as bedding straw, paper waste,
and vegetable matter should ge dis
posed of or covered with lime or
kerosene.
Screen all food Keep all recep-
tacles for garbage carefully cover
ed and the cans cleaned or sprink-
led with lime oil or other cheap
preparations.
Keep all stable manure in vault
or pit screened or sprinkled with
lime.
Cover food after a meal; burn
or bury all table refuse. Screen all
food for sale.

MAN WALKING ACROSS
DESERT IS ATTACKED
BY Wild HORSES

The following from the WiHne-
mucca Silver State tells of the very
peculiar circumstance of wild horses
attacking a man:
Last Saturday Harry Hogue, a
mining man in the employ of Adam
son and Turner had a narrow .es-
cape from death while crossing the
sand dunes on the cutoff from Win
nemucca to the new camp of Awak-
ening.
while trudging along through
the sand, Hogue was discovered by
a band of wild horses, which had
passed by. and they Immediately
run for him. When within short
distance of the pedestrian all of
the band with the exception of one
stallion, which began circling aroun'
and finally made dash for Hog
ue. The man had nothing to de-
fend himself with excepting a
walking stick and a water bottle
which he used to the best advantage
possible in fighting off the infuriate
beast. In few moments the bot
tie had been broken, when his on
ly defense was the stick, and he
had given up all hopes of saving
his life, when relief came from an
entirely unexpected quarter. Rich
ard Brenean was driving across the
dunes, on his way from Awakening
to Winnemucca, for supplies and
when it heard the team approach
ing the stallion abandoned the
fight.
"HogIe was completely exhausted,
and stated that he could not have
held out a minute longer. He was
picked up by Brennan and brought
back to town.
