trolled perturbation at Burning Day.
light striding into the room. The free.
swinging movements OF the trail-trav.
eler were unconsciously exaggerated In
that stride Of his. In truth. 1t seemed
to him that he felt the trail beneath
his feet.
"Howdy, gentlemen, howdy," he re-
marked, ignoring the unnatural calm
with which they greeted his entrance.
He shook hands with them in turn,
striding from one to another and grip
ping their hands 30 heartily that Ma
thaniel Letton could not forbear to
vince. Daylight flung himself into a
massive chair and sprawled lazily, with
an appearance of fatigue. The leather
grip he had brought into the room he
dropped carelessly beside him on the
floor.
I've sure been going some," he sigh
ed. I'VE sure trimmed them beautifully.
1t was real slick. And the beauty Of the
play never dawned on me till the very
end. 1t was pure and simple knock
down and drag out. And the way they
fell for 1t was amazin'."
Letton made a dry sound In his
throat. Dowsett sat quietly and wait
ed. while Leon Guggenhammer strug-
gled into articulation.
You certainly have raised Cain,"he
said.
Daylight's black eyes flashed in
pleasant way.
Didn't |, thought" he proclaimed,
jubilantly. "And didn't we fool 'em!
! was teetotally surprised. l never
dreamed they would be that easy.
And now," he went on, not permit
ting the pause to grow awkward, I'VE
all might as we'll have an accounting.
I'm pullin' West this afternoon on
that blamed Twentieth Century" He
tugged at his grip, got 1t open, and dip
ped into 1t with both his hands. "But
don't forget, boys, when you-aIl want
me to hornswoggle Wall Street anoth-
er fiutter, all you-all have to do is
whisper the word. I'll sure be right
there with the goods"
His hands emerged, clutching a
great mass OF stubs, check-boOks. and
brokers' receipts. These he depos-
tied In heap on the big table. and
dipping again. he flshed out the strag-
gers and added them to the pile He
consulted slip Of paper, drawn from
his coat pocket and read aloud:
Ten million twenty-seven thousand
and forty-two dollars and sixty-eight
cents Is my figurin' on my expense.
OF course that-alls taken from the
winnings before we-all get to flgurin'
on the whack-up. Where's your fig
ures? IL must a been q mighty big
cleanup"
The three men looked their bepuz-
element at one another. The man was
bigger fool than they had imagin-
ed. or else he was playing game
which they could not divine.
Nathaniel Letton moistened his lips
and spoke up.
1T Will take some hours yet, Mr..
Harnish. before the full accounting can
be made. Mr.. Howison IL at work upon
II now. Wc-ah-as you say. It has
been a gratifying cleanup. Suppose
we have lunch together and talk It
over. I'll have the clerks work through
the noon hour SO that you will have
ample time TO catch your train"

 ing Through the South.

"A hog has a lot more sense than people give the average hog credit for -or at least a razorback hog has" remarked an customer who travels through the south. Heres some thing that impressed me: Al little southern town or village went through some time ago. a small boy boarded the train with sandwiches that he was selling. for there was no eating place and the train reached that point at about the noon hour bought two sandwiches.
 By the time the train was at the outskirts of the little town. l found that the sandwiches instead of being made with ham in the interior, con tained only some slices of turnip. Of course threw mine away as soon as found that out Other passengers raised the windows to throw theirs out al about the sane time noticed And right at the Icint where most oi the sandwiches were thrown out, saw s-aFeve of razerbsck hogs ready to gobble them up.
 The conductor told me that the hogs had learned just how far the train would go every morning before the passengers would find the turnips In the sandwiches and then throw the sandwiches away. And he said the hogs wouldn't miss the right place by more than couple of yards"

During the discussion of the dii- ference between the high cost of iiv- ing and the cost of high living at the Curbstone club the ancient carpenter vouchsafed the following: Tt just seems like everything conspires to mske things harder for a man when prices are high. Now, for instance. know that all of my hens intention ally stop laying when eggs are worth their weight in gold-just when they ought to do their very best!"

Arguments as to whether men or women should be employ ed to educate girls are being heard great deal nowadays. Many women think men teachers exert a greater influence on girls and make them do more study ing Others contend women teachers have a more refining influence. "I am tired" said one man.

A regular course of study will be out lined for instruction. A booklet out lining the plln has been issued by George B. Cook superintendent of pub lie instruction Little Rock. Ark.

 Second. To give more practical trend to school work.
 Third. To identify the school more closely as the community centre.
 Fourth. To correlate the school life with the home life of the pupils.
 Fifth. To stimulate a cordial com petition among the schools.
 The time has come when the lie schools must show actual prac- tical results in training boys and girls for citizenship. More than that the school must be regarded not only as a training for life but the time spent in school itself is very important part of life.

The state of Arkansas has taken hold of the quest ton of poultry instruc- tion in the Pg5lic schools with q vim. Much of this good work is due to that hard working pair C. C. Watkins and r. N Hopkins. Not only that but through their assistance the state of Colorado has also taken up the work and is organizing poultry clubs.
 Ohio has an appropriation for poul- try instruction in ths rural districts. Kansas and Iowa are giving poultry instruction through the extension de partments of their agricultural col leges.

m )nths it is to be filled with the
| immense windmill that is to be erect
ed and when completed will be one
of the most modern arrangements
for reclamation purposes yet under
! taken in this valley or in western
| Nevada.
When it /, considered that the land
he is developing has been idle and
| never been cultivated. in fact 80
acres OF sagebrush. it is then realized
! that it is business on his part. The
level acres that are now ready make
Il splendid showing. such a, could be
done in a hundred ether places in the
county.
The same class II well was de-
NelopcL by n {. Pratt at the Schulz
place. At that point a flow of $50
gallons a minute has been dcvelop~
ed. At the present writing this water

Lands east OF the valley.
Mr. Brougher deserves all the sue
cess that has followed in this new
undertaking. The we'll and the
further development of the ground
is one of the best signs that has ever
hpprnrd in this section. The pres
rnt drilling and development is in the
hands Of Albert Quill and Sam Mar

depth of l3O feet, where bed rock
was encountered The flows. scverai
in number were cncountred from
fifty feet down, making a series Of
flows that they have demonstrated by
keeping a log of the drilling as they
have gone down. As this we'll is
the first developed to the east of the
valley it bears more than ordinary
interest and should be the means of
encouraging others in this class o,
development, The work of Mr..
Brou4hcr in this instance has more
than trebIed the price OF his land
and prove, that the future OF this
county is assured bv such character
