when they are In the street. When the
boy was learning to walk, the mother

to "toe in," and by the advice OF a
physician the baby shoes were east Oh
The remedy was so effective that
shoes are now used for street wear

Bizet's Red Ribbon.

Bizet, the author Of the popular op-
era Carmen" who died a month after
Its first production, was not at any
time a lucky man. He was even deco

"for his friends, presaging the failure
Of Carmen, bombarded the minister
before the production and begged a
decoration for NJ. George Bizet. 'BizetT
asked the minister Who is BiZetT "a

easily overcome.

POWER or SILENCE.
john Randolph Used II to Confuse
Powerful Opponent.

In painting the sacrifice OF Iphigenia
he artist, It is said, exhausted the
emotions OF grief and horror in the
faces OF the bystanders.
"Ie has left nothing unsald. How
can he depict her fathers sorrowT'
was the anxious query Of those friends
who were watching the development
Of the picture. The artist threw a
mantle over Agamemnon' face. The
blank silence was more effective than
my picture woe.
One Of the most extraordinary effects
produced by an absolute silence Is re-
corded In the reports Of n convention
In which the foremost men Of Virginia
took part. John Randolph had meas
ure to carry in which he looked for the
opposition of Alexander Campbell, Il
man then noted for his scholarship and
power In debate.
Randolph hal never seen the Scotch
logician, but he had heard enough or
him TO make him and his partisans
uneasy. When, therefore, the gaunt
stranger first rose TO speak in the con
vention Randolph looked at him with
such an air OF alarm as to attract the
whole attention Of the convention and
as he glanced around seemed to be
asking for sympathy in his coming de-
feat. He then composed himself to
listen In rapt attention.
Campbell, aware Of this byplay, hes,
rated and lost the thread Of his argu-
mcnt. Randolph's face 10y turns as he
| listesed expressed wcariness, indiifer-
euce and finally contempt He leaned
back and ynwned. Campbell sat down

KEEN SIGHTED GULLS.
Tests That Proved tho Wonderful
Vision of the Birds.

There is perhaps no other bird Of
land or sea so keen of sight as the
common gull. To convince a skeptical
friend Of this, an American naturalist
once made some interesting expert
ments.
The two men were passengers on a
steamer where the spring ebb aided
them to run twenty miles an hour. A
dozen gulls followed them In the
steamers wake without apparent eff
fort and circled in graceful curves
over the water.
Breaking a cracker biscuit into four
parts less than an inch square each.
the naturalist handed one piece TO his
friend and told him 10 drop 1t into
the seething waters on the starboard.
Immediately the bit Of biscuit be-
came invisible to human eyes. and yet
before 1t had gone thirty yards astern
gull detected 1t and, dipping into
the foam, secured It. One by one It
picked up the other bits OF biscuit,
though neither of the two men could
see them.
Tearing off a postage stamp from an
old envelope, the naturalist dropped
1t overheard. The gull detected the
waif and made as II to pick It up.
But when within a yard or so Of 1t the
bird saw that it was nothing in his
line and gided upward again to his
favorite station on a line with the
topmost truck.-New York Tribune.

pleased with conditions there. He an

meDced from the famous old property,
There are now several thousand o u Of
ore ready for shipping. for which there
is a splendid market at the present
time at Salt Lake smeiters. The high
price for lead silver ores means much
for Hamilton provided reasonable rates
can be had for shipping the ore. MIR.
Bamberger is also interested in better
roads between Hamilton and Kimberly,
and for that purpose he had a c%onsulta-
ton with several members of the Board
of County Commissioners while in Ely.
He states positively that if conditions
are improved the ore will come via Ely.

anxious to start shipments soon.

Half a million dollars will be added to
the assessed valuation Of Esmeralda
County within the next two years if the
Southern Pacific Company carries out
its present plans.
The company is making surveys for
q line that will cross the Tonopah q
Goldfeld road at Cosldsle and will run
for 100 miles in Esmeralda County.
Surveying parties have been driving
stakes over part Of the route.
The road between Nina and Owenyo
is to be broad-gauged, thus closing the
gap between the connection with the
Southern Pacific lines in Southern Cal
ifornia and the new line that is being
constructed from Oregon down into Ne
vada through Modoc and Lassen Coun-
Counties, California.
The news came to Goldfeld when
Fred J. Siebert, chief Of the engineering
force OF the Wingfeld mining interests,
came here on Friday afternoon accom-
panied by E. E. Cooper of the engineer
corps of the Southern Pacific in Nevada.
Mr.. Siebert, who originally suggested to
the Hartman interests the advantages
OF the new route, made a five days trip
with Mr.. Cooper from Palisade on the
main Central Pacific line in q Bind of re-
connoisance survey OF the proposed line.
The nearest point that the new line
will come to Goldfield by rail will he
near Millers. Leaving the Southern
Pacific line from Mojave at Owenyo. il
will cut out two 40O0-foot submits an6
make the Southern Pacific 500 miles
nearer the east from Los Angeles than
it is now, placing the Southern Pacific
from Los Angeles on an equality with the
Santa Fe in that respect.
The route, on which a corps of survey
ors is now busy between Basalt and
Coaldale, will follow the Owens lake de-
preston to Basalt and thence to Coal
dale. 1t will swing to the north of Mill
ers, taking the Smoky Valley and over 9
low summit to Grass Valley, thence
through Grass Valley to within a few
miles OF the Buckhorn mine and thence
down to Pine Valley to Palisade.
The new route will not only save 5O(
miles between Los Angeles and the East
but it will also give a line to Seattle, In
conjunction with the road under con-
struction from the Oregon line into Ne
vada through Modoc and Lassen Coun'
ties, California, that will be several hun
dred miles shorter than the present from
Los Angeles.
