DEEP MYSTERIES OF LIFE

If we could fathum life's
mysteries there would be little left
for us to do on earth. If we could
understand why tie sun shines
for some and the shadows deepen
for others there would be no use
to work out the problems Of exist.
ence. 1t would be solved fer US
before hand and the great ques-
tions which now quicken our souls
into being would never rise to
the surface. 1t is the mystery Of
it all, the uncertainty of every
thing save the existence of God,
which makes life such a wonder
puzzle, a puzzle to be picked out
piece by piece and fitted together
in hs own good time. 1t is true
that sometimes we grow weary of
our work. We find the processes
to slow to suit our impatient
desires and the results not alto
gether equal to our expectations
but for all that we never lose our
ambition to correctly solve the
problem as it is presented to us
for solution. We are in this world
to work out our destiny and the
means to this end are placed with
in our reach from the very outset,
but il so happens that our very
humanity binds US at times to our
best interests, and we careIessly
and even willfulIy pass by the
very things which would prove
Of most service to us. Because orr
inclinations lie in other directions
than those for which by nature we
seem best fitted we often make
the istakes of beginning wrong,
a condition which naturally
forestalIs any hone of success -

HEAVY SNOW FALL
REPORTED in MOUNTAINS

The winter weather that struck
this section of Nevada on tie
latter part of last week, was
especially severe in the Sierr
Nevada range, and over the wa:rr
shed of the Virginia & Gold Hi
Water Company. Reports received
at the office of the Water Com
pany show that seven inches of
snow fell on Saturday at Mariette
lake, and eight inches on level
in the nothern fiume section. This
is the heaviest snow stolm record
ed in the mountains at this season
of the year, in probably 90 years,
if not longer, and will delay for q
few days rebuilding of flume line
that has already been started.
This volume of snow will prove of
great value in feeding the springs
for an additional two or three
weeks, end will also be of vast
benefit TO those depending upon
the water of the Carson river

Between TWO FIRES

At certain stage of the battle
of Wagram, which took place in
1909, the proceedings developed
into great hare hunt. There
were 100000 hunters, half French
and half Austrians.
The plain was, it is related,
covered with hares, which the long
advance of the two armies had
driven into narrow space.
Frightened by the guns of the
French. they ran for their lives
and continued to run until they
reached the Austrian line. There
they were none TIE less terrified
and came rushing back upon the
French.
The soldiers were greatly inter-
ested by the frantic movements Of
the hares and could hardly he
restrained from making after
them.
There occurred a charge by the
Austrian cavalry, which, of course
took M account of the hares. The
horses plunged in among them, and
they rushed in dismay among the
ranks of the French soldiers. who,
confused by so strange an attack
began bayoneting the hares. Other
soldiers not Immediately pressed
by the onset of the enemy caught
up the trembling animals in their
hands.
There was that day a great
slaughter of men and hares, and
many shot destined for the
enemy struck one of these poor
animals, who doubtless believed that
the great armies had come there
expressly to hunt them instead of
to hunt each other.
