THE ADVICE OF h.LVE EDITOR

Say, young man, want to talk
with you a minute. Get up and
dust the harness right on and pull
now and don't wait for something to
turn up: go at it and turn it up
Put the harness right on and
pull no matter if the belly band
chafes little or the names don't
fit; pull, you will soon get hard
end to it: collar spot here and
there don't hurt any. Don't begin
where the old man man left off
If you do you will quit where he
began. Get into the deal your
self; do as the old man did. II
you can't afford thing don't buy
it until you can. The old gentle
man did that way and that is how
he got credit. That credit,
young fellow, is worth more dollars
than you will ever earn. No
matter about money, get credit
and maintain it; it is the best asset
anyone ever had. Pull all the
time; don't be stingy, but be pru-
dent don't get pessimistic; shut
your suspicious eye.
If a neighbor goes wrong,
don't doubt the integrity of the
neighbor CT the other conner.
Pessimism is a mountain and dark
lens the veiw; it is only its obstruc-
tion to your vision that makes it
look so. Pull and keep your faith
bright in humanity. Opportunity
is on all sides awaiting the man
who pulls steadily all the time no
matter what his station or line of
business. Take this advice from
your uncle, the editor.-Baily, in
the Britt, Qa.) Tribune.

MANY CATTLE ON Stamped.

When the caretakers showed up at
the cattle corrals at the sugar factory
Saturday morning, they found but 30
steers to- answer roll call and take on
sugar beet pulp, the remainder of 615
head having stampeded and broken out.
Search developed the fact that the steers
were scattered all over the valley from
HAGEN to Timber Lake. Horsemen
have since succeeded in rounding up q
majority Of the cattle but around fifty
are still at large, rustling for themselves
along the lakes edges south and east Of
Fallon.
In addition to being branded the
steers have the regulation long horns
Of the Texas breed and the Western
Meat Company of San Francisco, owners
have hut little fear but that they will
be recovered. But the matter Of get
ting them together again is costing a
pretty Churchill Standard.

AUSTIN G|LRUTH

Austin Gilruth. one Of the hardy
pioneers of Elko county, died at
the county hospital about 8 o'clock
Thursday afternoon
He was born in Haverhill, Ohio,
about 76 years ago and came to
Elko county in 1869. He was q
quiet man and a good citizen. He
owned fine ranch near Tucker
station and lived alone. He visited
Elko frequently and was known
to all the old. timers.
His sister. Mrs. Pixley of Port
mouth, Ohio, was with him when
he CROSSED the bar" Of the har:
Dor and sailed out into the un-
known sea. A brother, A. Gilruth
arrived from Winfield, Kansas,
last night.
His remains are at the under.
taking parlors and are being pre-.
pared for shipment to his birth
place in Ohio tomorrow night.
May the grass grow green over
his last resting place and may the
old pioneer sweetly sleep.

DISTRICT COURT

At this forenoon session of the court,
P1 G. johnson and E. H. Sherzberg tes-
titled.
The former told about conversation
with Frank WARDROBE after the fire in
which WARDROBE said young Fairchilds
was smoking cigarettes in the store the
day before the fire and that he did not
know whether the matches and cigar
cites were put out or not.
Sherzburg testified that he did not
open his butcher shop in 1919 until the
first OF July. This contradicted the
evidence of George Blundell who swore
that he was in. the butcher shop on the
Sd of June and saw Roy Primeaux and
Bill Dye through window and heard q
conversation between them.
At the conclusion of their evidence,
the defense rested and court adjourned
for the noon recess,
At the afternoon session the state
called Henry Brown Charles B. Wilson
and Jake Clark in rebuttal. The latter
was testifying about Roy Primeaux
doctoring horse in front Of the store
after the fire when. this report was
closed. +"'<
The case will probably go to the jury
tomorrow night.

who has MOTTO approach French

The beautiful cities, the broad
stretches of wonderful Corot land

form the playground of travellers from

gay life of the streets, the opportunity

and a thousand places, each seeming
more attractive than the other, make

The greatness of France is of SO re-

other lands as it rushes by No other

REMARKABLE NERVE
Of A MINER MINER

An>accident at the Ludwig mine Oh
Saturday last resulted in the death,
Sunday noon, of William McGovern, q
miner well known in this locality. 1t
is not known whether premature ex-
plosion or missed hole caused the &C.
cident; the deceased was alone at the
time, and his fatal injuries we're I'M
known to others in the mine until he
appeared among them in frightfully
mangled condition. Totally blind and
horribly crippled in his limbs, McGov-
ern walked to the main shaft where
others were at work, was quickly taken
to the top and carried to the Office of
the mine physician. While he was
conscious and able to handle himself
somewhat, it would have been pitiful
for him to have lived, and death came
mercifully the following day, after he
had been relieved of pain by opiates
The actions OF the deceased following
the explosion were remarkable. His
breast was filled with fragments of
splintered wood and gravel, one arm
was a mass of broken bones, and from
the lower half of his mouth up, lips,
eyes and ears were entirely gene, yet he
talked, complaining of being cold, al
though it was too hot for the comfort
of the physicians, and actually request
ed that a cigarette be given him to
smoke.-Mason News.

DEvELoPMENT OF The PLANO
Centuries of Invention Have Been
Needed to Bring Il 20 Present
State Of Perfection.

Have you ever thought, when play
ing some nelGdious sonata upon your

today, is the perfection OF centuries
of Invention?
In the beginning 1t was harp
shaped pie"c CT wood, having two or
three strings. From time to time
more strings were added until the
cithara was invented This was an
instrument in the shape of a capital
P, with ten Strings stretched across
the open space Many centuries after
ward musicians conceived the idea
of stretching strings across an open
box About the year 1900 this wan
done, the dulc,;ncr made It's appear
ance, and the strings were struck
with hammers.
For another hundred years or SO
these hammers were held In the
hands. and then some genius invented
a keyboard. which. being struck by
the fingers, caused the hammers to
strike the strings This was called a
ciavicytherium. or keyed cithara and
from time to time it was modified and
improved.
During Queen Elizabeth's time It
was called q virginia., and then q
spinet, because the hammers wero
covered with 'lf' spines OF raI!ls.

HIndu's AsonizIng Penance.

An extraordinary scene was wit
messed in Calcutta recently when a
small trolly, studded with rows Of iron
spikes, on which a Hindu was lying
at full length, was being pulled
through the streets. A large crowd
was following. Inquiries elected the
information that the man was doing
penance, and was on his way to the
temple Of the Goddess Kali at Kalig-
hat. The Hindu Lad been several
days on the journey, end was in a
terrible condition. The spikes, which
numbered about $50 were quite sharp
and the man wore only a loin-cloth.
He must have been suffering acute
pain from the fact that his body was
bruised and lacerated all. over as a re-
suit of lying on the sharp uails. Meth
