WOMEN'S BENEFACHON. !.

. ID
Among the notable benefactions
Of last year, which is more inter-
esting because made by woman,
was the gift of s1,s65. 900 by the
late Mrs. Mary Atkins Of Kansas
City. OF this large sum 81, 3OO,-
900 is to be devoted to an art
museum. Donations Of $685., 900
for religious and charitable
purposes complete the sum.
While from the nature of
things donations by women cannot
be expected to approximate the
very largest by men, the names of
women are appearing more and
more in the contributions to
benevolences. The list Of the
principal benefactors in 1910
included gifts from more than
thirty American women, The
largest amount in the list was
1000, 600 from MIS- Amander
w. Reid Of Portland, Oregon, for
the establishment Of college.

CLAIM SQUAW' WAS KILLED


The relatives of Little Mag.
ie' the squaw found dead in this
city Monday, are making a full
investigation as to the cause of
her death and are now of the
opinion that she came to her
untimely end ny foul play says the
Carson News. Yesterday some
of the Indians called the attention
of the authorities to the fact that
close to the spot where the squaw
was found, they had found blood
soaked rag and further that blood
spots were found upon the clothes
which were removed from the
body. Signs Of a struggle were
also found near the sand house of
the V. & T. and signs by the
or eek where some one had
evidently washed blood from their
hands or clothing. One of the
indians claim that the neck Of the
deceased had been broken.

1IHE PROPER TREATMENT

The man at Elko who buncoed

through them all the daily papers

ton of the state. and the Ogden
and San Francisco dailies by secur-
ing the publication of the story of
the chase after Fred Hess by
Sheriff. Harris should be given a
leath er medal, a swift kick, and
then have his sanity made mat-
ter of investigation. The story
was purely pipe dream, and not
the kind of advertising that
benefits the county or state. The
truth is usually bad enough. The
article was false from beginning
to end and the papers that
published it should apologize and
then punish the author for impos-
ing on -them.-Carlin Common
wealth.
Right you are, Bro. Gray. The
author of the story seems to be
somewhat backward about
acknowledging the paternity of his
child. Perhaps, he has begun to
realize how great a prevaricator
he really is and is ashamed 20
admit it.. If we knew the name of
the author, we would not hesitate
to publish it. He seems to be
anxious to fill the position once
held,yby Reno's champion pre-
varicator. After all the story
might be the work of Reno
journalist.

SUPERSTITION NOT DEAD YET

fiagpole, which hiss lowered up
some 200 feet for several years

now there are people who asert
that it signifies a general smashup
of the republican party. Not
unlikely dem ocratic flagpole may
soon totter to its fall in some
winter storm and then political
chances will again be even. A
well. known astrologer, pre-
slmably an Englishmar. by a
dextrous use Of figures, foretells
with great positiveness that the
year 1913 will witness the end of
the German empire. Supersitious
Hindoos who believes that whoever
posses the Kohinoor diamond rules

Queen of England, now wearing

THE UPSTREAM PULL.

THE UPSTREAM PULL.
It's easy when you're drifting with
the current down the stream,
When the oars are shipped beside you
and the laughing waters CLEAN;
When there's naught to do but idle in
the cushioned seat and bask
In the happy, glowing sunshine while
the water does the task.
But there comes a sudden waking
from the fancy and the deram
When the time arrives that someone
has TO pull against the stream.
The fellow who's contented while the
current bears him on
Finds that every mile he travels
shows a haven wished for
gone;
finds the water bears him softly
where the waiting chances lie,
But unless he does some rowing 1t
will swiftly bear him by;
Finds that down the stream the
inches that he looks for all are
full
And that if he'd seek the right one
he must turn around and pull.
But it's easy-very easy-just to
float along and dream,
Yet the man some time discovers
that he cannot float upstream,
And he learns. too, that the world is
full of folks who like to drift,
But the farther down the river there
the current goes more swift:
And he also learns in sorrow that
successful ones would seem
To have no use for the fellow who
will never pull upstream
