EYE9 GET FIRST ATTENTION,

There is no such disguise as that of the eyes. If we want to get an impression of a persons face we have to look at the eyes. You will find this in any railway carriage or pub lie conveyance. You are interested m face; you fix your eyes on the opposite eyes. If the eyes meet both fail; the eyes drop apologetically, for the inquiry is too intimate. The two people know well enough, though neither may be artists, that you can not get an impression of the face by looking at the chin, or the forehead, or the nose; you must look straight at the eyes-the window of the soul and the face becomes a recogniz- able unit. The best disguise-as burglars know-is the mask that covers the eyes only.

SNUFF CLUB FOR MOTORISTS.

A Snuff club has been established in Leeds, England, and it is stated that motoring is largely responsible, since the motorist cannot, in his runs into the open, enjoy his cigar.
 A former canon of Leeds was in his earlier days a retail vendor of tobacco, including snuff, and wore a white apron behind the counter.
 The new club is started with a promise of presenting its members with the Order of the Snuff Box.

WHERE THE WEST BEGINS

Out where the handclasp's a little
stronger.
Out where the sun is a little
brighter longer,
That's where the west begins.
Out where a smile dwells a little
longer.
Where the SHOWS that fall are a
trifle Whiter,
Where The bonds of home are a
wee bit tighter,
That's where the west begins.
Out where the skies are a trihe
lluer,
Out where friendships a little
truer,
That's where the west begins;
Out where a fresher breeze is
blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping
and less of sowing
That's where the west begins;
Where there's more singing and
less of signing,
Where there's more of giving and
less of buying,
And man makes friends without
half trying
That's where the west begins

OLD NEWSPAPER
DAYS IN KANSAS

Editor Nicklin of the Barstow
Printer grew reminiscent the
other day and in his last issue
divulged some of his past history.
He relates:
Friend Joseph Harmon of
Hinkley brought fine samples of
home grown broom corn to
Printer office Wednesday and
they carried our memory back 80
year to old boyhood days in Kan
sas, when we published the Norton
Advance among coyotes, picking
buffalo bones for meal tickets,
and took sorghum, broom corn,
owls and prairie dogs on subscrip-
tion. Jack rabbits were legal
tender for all debts. and very de-
licious broiled on buffalo chips.
Our county court house was built
on a wagon ready to move oc-
casionslly. Antelupes were thick as
cattle rustlers, and big buffalo
herds made pot shot for Jim Smith,
Buffalo Bill and others. But life
was not pleasant dream even
then. The financial editor OF the
Norton Fog Horn got mixed up
with a rope that had been used in
horse dcal--and he died sud-
denly. The sorghum press on
which we printed the Fog Horn
in a dug-out was siezed for
funeral expenses and we came

NO INSTRUCTIONS NECESSARY

Among the passengers booked
for a recent coast wise trip of a
steamer running from New York
to a Southern port were a timid
looking little man and his equally
timid looking little wife.
One of the first of the many
questions put to the captain of
the vessel by the little woman was
this:
Gould you, sir. tell my hus-
band what to do in case Of an at
tack of seasickness? He is par
ticularIy liable to such attacks.
WHAT must he do?"
1T isn't necessary to tell him
what to do. ma'am," said the old
captain grimly. He'll do it,"

BEN BUTLER'S BLUFF

General John \. Bingham as a
member of the military tribunal
that tried Mrs. Surratt and the
Lincoln assassination conspirators.
After the trial in the subsequent
debates in the house General B. f.
Butler frequently charged that tie
commission had arrived at an un-
just verdict and had convicted an
innocent woman In a memorable
debate he boldlg proclaimed that
if the cotents of a diary which had
been found on the dead body of ].
Wilkes Booth were ever made
public it would diclose the fact
that it contained the proof of Mrs.
Surratts innocence, which proof
had heen infamously suppressed by
the commission. When General
Bingham made a movement as
though he would repel such an
accusation. Butler dramatically
drew a memorandum book from
his breast pocket and held il aloft
but did not utter a word. Bing-
ham naturally supposed that But
tier had copy of a diary such as
he had spoken of. AS a mattre of
fact the hook contained nothing
but blank leaveo. General Butler
was just bluffing.
The diary was in possession of
Secretary Stanton, but President
job nsO finally demanded it. 1t
was an interesting book, but it
threw no light upon the great con-
spiraGy.

FARMING PROJECT
NEAR SEARGnLIGHT

Jane W. Barbuur and associates
are prepring to dry farm 1O,0OO
acres Of land in the Barnwell dis
trict in north eastern San Barnar, n
dino county, some 25 or 80 miles
southwest of Sear chlight, says the
Searchlight Bulletin. If successful
the acreage will be increased to
100, 900, which has been filed on.
The land is said to be very
fertile, and the projectors are con-
fident they will make a success of
the venture.
The plowing will be done by
power-driven engines, with gaso-
line used as fuel.
Mr.. Barbour will ship in two
carloads of machinery the first of
April, and start in clearing off
5000 acres of land. The land has
been taken up by fifty different
parties, who have been brought in
by Mr.. Barbour and it is the plan
of the latter to lease the land of
the settlers, clear it and put in
grain.

ROMANCE AND FhILUEE

Two men hegin life on an even
break. One is restless, active
enthusiast. The other a steady,
sure, stay-at-home. The mobile
mind makes for the mountains, the
high attitudes and the high ambi-
tions. lie sees about him the sud-
den successes and forgets the
frequent failures. He feels the
galvanic impulse of the greed for
gold. and without experience,
preparation or fitness he acquires
a prospect-mine. Instantly the
enthusiasm of possession and of
possibilities initiate his mind and he
rushes back to his old friend in
the east-the now quiet, successful
manufacturer. There is a cordial
confraternity meeting and there
and then the million-a-month COM
rade introduces the ideal of divid-
ing his prospect-mine profits with
his old time friend, on basis of
so much per share.
Now the manufacturer knows
the integrity of his friend is be.
yond repoach. He also knows his
vacillating, venture some nature.
He lacks the courage to say no.
Rather than forfeit this life long
friendship he pitches a check to
his gambling friend with this
remark: There, take that" |
hope you're right old man. but
some how I've got no faith in this
mining business"
Time rolls on and the manu-
facturer contributes more money
to back up his first thousand, for
he don't want to have failure on
his hands or be branded quitter.
And finally the bubble bursts.
II successful, hard-hoarted
manufacturers and other equally
strong-minded men would stub.
bornly say, "No-not until an ex.
pcrienced engineer has examined
this property, will put up a red
cent, both men would be the bet
ter for IL.
This romance has its counter
part in every city, village and oft
ime in hamlets. The manu-.
facturer is much more to blsmc
than the ambitious man with the
gold fever. who believes in his
own dreams.
For failures such as this mining
gets the blame. Should it?-- New

DEMANS AN INVESTIGATION

Senator Culberson of Texas,
stirred the republican animals in
the senate Wednesday when he
demanded an investigation of
campaign expenses in 1904 and
1908. He made sweeping charges
of corruption against the republi-
can committees for those and other
years. Indirectly he charged that
foreign ambassadorships were be-
slowed as reward for campaign
contributions, and that former
President Roo.evelt had condoned
the use of money in politics.
Referring especially to the cam
paign of 1908, Mr.. Culberson said
that the contributions to the demo-
Garlic fund had been made by $74O,-
900 with $4,000 as the largest,
while those of the republican
fund were made by 1888 persons,
with Charles P. Taft, brother of
the republican presi Dental candi-
date, at the head with a donation
of $4,000. Among the contri-
buttons mentioned were Ambas-
sadors Reed and Kerens and Mini.
ster Larz Anderson.
In the course of his speech Mr..
CulDeison referred to the fact that
George B. Cortelyou in the 1904
campaign had held the position of
chairman of the republican
national committee while he was
secreretray of commerce and labor,
and intimated that MIR. Cortelyou
had taken advantage of the secrets
of corporations whuse affairs
might be investigated under the
federal laws to procure money for
the campaign.
1T las been estimated he
said, that the enormous and un-
considerable sum of Sill. 900, 900
was raised and probably expended
that year by the committee of
which he was chairman. The very
size and audacity of this fund If
approximately correct, smscks Of
corruption and profligacy. Who
contributed, and where did it
come FRONT"
Mr.. Culberson said there should
be an inquiry to answer these
questions:
He went into some detail regard.
ing the newspaper charges that the
late b. II. Hartman had raised
the fund of $250,0o0 to which he
himself had contributed $50, 900,
in support of the republican ticket
in the campaign of 1904. He said
that within the last few weeks All
effort had been made to clear pp
this charge and added: This
attempt to unload upon the dead
the obloquy Of this disgrsceful
transaction, which is said to have
chan ged $4,000 votes in the city
of New York alone, may be signi-
ficant in several ways. 1t may be
the common end ordinary case Of
malefactors waiting for the
abseonding or the death of wit

MAN KILLED NEAR GERLACH

Ell Tonkcy, an old German. was
found dead in his cabin about
three miles north of Gerlach yes
tcrday. He had been shot and the
position Of the body and tell-tale
evidences Of a struggle pointed
conscusively to the fact that he
had been murdered and the time
was fixed as the day before.
A telegram received here by
Sheriff Lamb from Constable
Batter of Gerlach stated that a
man named Ellis was suspected of
the murder and gave lis dcscrip-
tion, as follows:
Height, about feet, Z inches:
weight about lG5 pounds; dark
hair; medium complexion; nose
skinned and eyes blackcncd: wore
oveTalls and tan shoes and carried
n 44-caliber Winchester rifle when
last seen"
Ellis was last seen in Gcrlach
about 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, before it was discovered that
Tonkcy had been murdered. He
disappeared shortly aftcrward and
all efforts To locate him have been
fruit!css so far, though the local
officers are keeping a close watch
on all trains and descriptions of
Ellis have been sent al along the
line Of that road. Tonkey worked
on the Gcrlach ranch for several
years but some months ago he
took up a homestead near the town
Of GCrlach and had been living
there ever since. There have been
numerous disputes over land in
that vicinity and II is supposed
that the killing Of Tonkey was the
outcome of quarrel over the
possession Of the ranch he had
taken up-Humboldt Star
- -s--sss- - &c..
There seems to he an epidemic
Of murder in Nevada. The other
day the charred remains Of a man
were found in the ruins Of the
Santiago mill on the Carson river.
Since then a man was fatally shot
at Kennedy and another was
found murdered at Gerlach. Can
il be possible that the action OF
the board Of parduns in granting
clemcncy to so many prisoners has
made men reckless OF the conse.
qucnges that should follow the
commission of crime?
