previous to the election had
dubbed the animal as "Pittman's

LAWNS THE CORNER STONE
OF THE NEW CHURCH
AND '. N. C. 4 BUILDING

anu ]. N. .. / BuILuIn6
Next Friday at 2:sO has been
decided upon as the time for Iayiag
the corner stone Of the new build
ing being erected by the TRUSTEES
OF the Presbyterian Church to be
USED by the public as a Y. M. C. A.
institution is used. This building
is 0oA95 feet and will contain
besides a church auditorium and a
Sunday School room, q gymnasium,
shower baths, a game room for
boys and a club room for men.
The dining room o. social hall
will also be thrown open t, the
organization:at all.times.
The old church building which
has been moved to lot adjoining
the new building will be used for
reading room and public library.
1t is connected with the new build
ing by a stairway leading no
from the basement. The church
auditorium itself is small seating
about 100 people. Much prom
inence has been given to facilities
for doing a regular Y. M. C. A.
work. This will be a great
advantage to Western Pacific
employee, to the High School
students and to the young men of
Elko. The, location is one of the
best that could have been selected
Including 100000 spent for
the purchase of a new lot the
building will cost when furnished
and equipped about $40, 600.
$4,000 Of this has already been
pledged and $4,000 will be loaned
by the Presbyterian Board at a
small rate of interest. This insti-
tuition will be undenominatonal
and nonsectarian and will not be
managed or directed by the
trustees of any church as such.
About $1,000 more is needed to
complete the building free of
debt. AS only about half the
county has thus far been canvassed
there is no question about tire
liberality of the rest of the people
in raising the balance,
At the exercises Friday Hon. F.
F. Gedney will present history of
Elko County which will be placed
in the corner stone. A history of
the church will be read and an
address delivered by Hon E. E.
Caine. The Masons have been
invited to lay the corner stone.
Appropriate music will be
rendered for the occasion If
stormy they will take place within
the old building until time to put
the stone in place.
The school and stores are invited
to close during the hour and every
one is invited TO be present.
A handsome corner stone of
granite with the emblem Of the Y.
NJ. C. A on one side and the date
on the other has been presented by
Mr.. G.. P. Griffith and the copper

place is the gift Of C. F. Fields.
The material placed in the

How to Reach tho Churches.

The need now is for the people
ask: How shall we reach the churches
and the ministers? For they are ex-
ceedingly anxious to be reached and
have ways opened to them by which
their usefulness may be increased.
They who claim as many do, that most
of the good work now done by human
itarian workers Is done by men and
women who are outside OF the church.
forget, or never knew, that all benev-
client work began In the church, and
that they who are carrying it on out
side of the church, where most of it
ought to be done. either received their
training in the church or are the chill
dren of those who did. We need now
new impulses of generous feeling, and
there is no better way to provide them
than for all who are aware of the new
needs of society to raise up all togeth-
er and pour into the churches that
are within reach their hopes and long
ings. with such wisdom as they may
have, in order to stimulate and quick
en- those who have control of the ma
chinery" of religious and ethical af-
fairs to do the work the public needs
to have done and also to put the plant
into condition where the highest de-
gree of efficiency may be attained. Eff
ficiency is now the word to conjure
with. Let those who are finding fault
with the church make an effort to re-
claim their own rights and see what
comes Of it; the plant waits for the
power they may. cause to flow through
it to noble ends and issues.-Christia

MANNER OF GOING TO SLEEP
1t Is Gradual Process, Senses Sinking
Off One at Time Until All
Are Unconscious.

Did you ever think of the way in
which you fall asleep?
1t is a gradual process. the senses
sinking off one at time until they
are all unconscious. The first to be
affected is the eyesight. The eye
lids culver and blink, and you say that
you are drowsy. After the sense of
sight is fast asleep often you will con-
tinue to hear and feel for some time.
Taste follows sight to sleep, and then
come smell and hearing, and finally,
last of all, touch. Touch never sleeps
very hard unless you are worn out
with fatigue. frequently, as you
know, II you SO much as lay your fin
ger on friend who is asleep, up he
will jump. wide awake. The quickest
way of arousing sound sleeper is to
lay a cool hand on his forehead.
With cats, however, it Is different.
Sight, hearing, taste and touch may
all go to sleep and sleep very sound
ly, but the cats sense of smell never
sleeps Some of you who have pet
cats will find lots of fun In expert
menting with them. When puss is
fast asleep get juicy bit of meat or
a mouse and very quietly place 1t
near her nose. Instantly her eyes will
pop open and she will be ready for
dinner.

LIKING FOR DOLLS is VARIED
Poor Little Girls Ideas Differ From
Those of Wealthy Homes-Baby
Face Ia Wanted.

Two little girls stood side by side
with their brothers at the doll coun-
ter of a big shop the other day. One
was beautifully dressed. the other thin
and white faced, and her clothes not
only were faded and worn but a size
or two too small. She held tight to
her mothers hand and her big eyes
roamed about the department, seem
ing to take in every doll there. and at
last rested contentedly on big pink
and white faced, blue-eyed, golden
haired beauty, dressed In p fluffy blue
silk gown with an impossible looking
blue hat on her blond locks.
"Oh. mamma, II only ! could have
that onet7 she cried.
But the mother shook her head. The
second little girl and her mother both
turned to look at the child who
wanted the blue-gowned doll and the
little girl laughed, not unkindly. but
amusedly.
"Oh. mother, isn't she funny to want
an old-fashioned doll like that?"
Silencing her daughter with a look.
the mother turned to talk to the other
child and In an incredibly short time,
for busy shop and its red tape, GER
tain blue-robed, b1ue-eyed doll filed
the arms of the poor child. AS the
mothers and the two children went
on their way the clerk turned to an
other customer.
Isn't it funny" she said, "the diff
ference between the children of the
well-to-do and those of the poor? This
year there is such fad for the char
acter dolls that we find the pink-faced
dolls of our own youth almost drug
on the market. All the little girls
want the real baby-faced dolls in their
plain Bingham and sheer white cos
tunes, but when poor child comes in
she invariably demands the richly
dressed. blond, blue-eyed dolls. | sup
pose it is the law of contrasts, or it
may be that poor children do not keep
up with the fads.
II only know that this year the
character doll is in great demand. The
rage started last year in Germany,
and this year 1t is quite as bad here
in this country.
Here are some Of the newest dolls.
See how individual they are. No two
just alike. Our buyer says that the
dolls are made after the photographs
of real children and / am sure they
look it. Why, even grown women
come in and look at them, and | do
believe they long to buy them, only
they are ashamed"
