From that night the girls demeanor
changed. During the long autumn days
she posed for the painter beneath the

dusk on the porch, but always where
her red gown might be seen by one

PROTECT THE ORPHANS

A committee has reported that
the Orpans Home has no fire
escapes and no fire extinguisking
appliances. Once before it was
burned because no attention was
paid to this important matter.
The present Orphans Home has a
big wooden tower on top of stone
structure. The tower is utterly
useless except as a fire trap. 1t
contains an immense lot of in
fl m nable lumber and if fire once
starts there it can never be
checked.
If the same amount of money had
been put in fire extinguishing
appliances and extra comforts TO r
the Orphans it would have bee n
spent to better advantage than
merely to build something to call
attention to the monumental
stupidity Of n public beard.
Nearly every State in the Union
has an official who has the authority
to compel owners of public build
ings to comply. with certain
regulations to prevent loss of
property and human life from fire.
Nevada has never paid the
slightest attention to these natter.

Men who owe all they have and

Women may possibly not know
enough to vote, though we don t
admit it but she certainly knows
enough not to sell that vote to Il c

There is wide difference
between having a note in the bank
and having baaknoie in the

difference between complacency
and discomfort.

BOARD REJECTS
A $4,000 BILL

Probably the largest bill viii :h
was ever rejected by the Humboldt
County Commissioners was the one
which was presented yesterday by
DR.. G. u. Hall and his wife, Louise
Hall, against the town of Winnie
mucca. The bill WIS for the sum
of $25, 33l. 65l being the amount
of damages asked on account of
alleged injuries sustained by the
latter by falling into an open sewer
excavation on Third street a few
weeks ago. Undoubtedly the
Commissioners were considerably
.surpri ed to have a bill for such
a sum presented, but at any rate
the claim was promptly rejected.
Presumably the presentation of the
bill is the forerunncr of damage
suit to be brought ny the claimants
against the town of WiEnnmucca,
hut this remains to be seen.

GERMANYS PRECIOUS WINE

The most celebrated of all the
wines of Germany is kno wn as rose
wine and according to French
contemporary it rs jealousy
preserved in the town hall of
Breme.
The wine has been in the vaults,
30 we learn since 1921 when the
conscript fathers had six great watts
made at Johannesburg and six
others at .Hockheimer. Each
received the name of one of the
apostles 1t is an unwritten law
that as soon as a bottle of wine is
drawn from the watts "a similar
quantity of the same vintageiis pu t
into the tun, consequently they are
always full.
Each Of the tuns or watts in the
town hall at Breme cost originally
$240, and their capacity is about
81 gallons Now we have our
French statistician again at work
as to the cost Of the upkeep uf the
cellar He comes to the conclusion
that each time bottle of this wine
is drunk it represents a sum Of
over $3.50.
During the war of 1870 the
French oc cupied the town and
the officers Drawing the danger of
the council Of Breme made free
with their precious wine, and il was
said that the town of Breme paid
more to France than all the other
towns in Germany. At the time of
the crown princes wedding we
further learn that he was, allowed
one bottle and one only.--London

P HILANTHROP|ST'S
RULE OF LIFE

The vault in the dilapidated little
graveyard opposite New Orelea Ms
where the body of John Nc
Donough, known to American
history as an eccentric philanth-
ropist was first laid. was kept in
order for years after the removal
of McDonough's remains. A
faithful negro, who had been on e
of McDonough's slaves for years,
attended to this. Chiseled in the
stone of the vault are the following
rules. which McDonough formu-
lated when he was but tewenty-
four years of age for the guild ance
of his life:
Remember aways that labor is
one of the conditions of our
existence.
thine is gold; throw not one
minute of it away, but place each
to account.
"Do unto all men as you would
be done by. .
Never bid another do what you
can do yourself.
Never put off until tomorro W
what you can do today.
Never think any matter so
trivial as not to deserve notice.
Never covet what is not your
own.
Never give out that which does
not first come in.
Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate
the transactions of your life.
Study in the course of your
life to do the greatest possible
amount Of good.
deprive yourself of nothing
necessary to your comfort, but
live in an hon orable simplicity and
frugality.
Labor then, to the last moment
OF your existance.
Pursue strictly the above rules,
and Divine blessing and riches of
every kind will flow upon you to
your hearts content; but first of
all remember that the first and
greatest study Of your life should
be to tend by all means in your
power to the honor and glory Of
the Divine Greater.
"The conclusion at which | h ave
arrived is that without temperance
there isn health, without virtue
no order without religion, no
happiness and the sum of cur being
is to live wisely, soberly and
righteously. "-Nevada Churchman.

of man for murder, who was
undoubtedly guilty, but who was
acquitted greatly to the surprise of
the presiding judge. The jury
had been out two days considering
the case without reaching a con.
ciusion. Then the judge called
the jury into court and asked what
the difficulty was. The foreman
said:
Judge there is only one thing
that is troubling US. Was the
prisoners counsel appointed by
the court or retained by the
prisoner himself"
II THE prisoner is man OF means
aid the judge "ard he RETAINED
his own COUNSEL"
Ten minutes later the jury sent
out word that an agreement had
been reached. They filed into
court. The foreman rose and
announced the verdict: acquitted
on the ground of insanity"
