Temple for Worshipers of IsIs,

While taking a stroll on the fortifl-
cations above Genoa, l was considera-
bly, surprised to find myself face to
face with a very curious little build
Ing. | could not help eXclaiming to
my companion, "Have we been trans
ported by magic to the banks Of tho
Nile?" Curious to know the history
OF this construction, which has all the
air of an Egyptian temple, made In.
quiries in the neighborhood, and was
informed that 1t had been erected
some ten or twelve years ago by the
members OF strange society, sup.
posed to be worshipers of Isis, and
that they used to meet there every
Thursday and Sunday. These gather
ings lasted only for six months. for,
as Is usual with such little sects, the
society came to an early end through
lack Of funds. After remaining empty
for some time the building was taken
over by wineshop keeper, but he,
too, had Ill success, and was com.
PEELED to close his doors. Had the
vino seller opened such a building as
this on the Boulevard de Clichy at
Montmarte, side by side with some
OF the eccentric cafes of Paris. he
could not have failed to make O for

Are You Left-Handed7

Why don't you make more use of
your left hand?
1t has been estimated that 81 per
cent. Of the English-speaking people
are right-handed when they grow up.
Seventeen out Of every hundred are
born right-handed, but the remaining
SO are born without any inclination to
use one hand more than the other.
and, therefore, become right-handed
owing to influences brought to bear
on them during their childhood days.
1t is impossible to calculate how
much men lose by neglecting their left
hands. Formerly-in primitive times,
that Is to say-everyone was ambi-
dextrous, and the sooner people be-
come ambideXtrous again the better.
In Japan, for many years, soldiers
and schcolboys have been taught to
use both hands. And this wise ex-
ample is now being followed in Ger
many.

Putumayo Indians,

The Indians of the Putumayo dis
trict Of Peru, whose brutal abuse by
the rubber companies has aroused
the world, are descrlbed in a recent
issue of Folklore by Capt. T. w.
Whiffen, who apparently lived among
them before they were subjected to
the white mans kindly attention. Ac-
cording to Captain Whiffen they are
pretty hard lot themselves. For
example, they kill the second twin
at birth, and the mother always
browns a sickly or deformed child.
They kill their prisoners and eat
them. In fact they were still in the
stone age when Captain Whiffen
studied them, and, contrary to the
opinion of Doctor Martin, had never
been any higher in the evolutionary
scale. Their only social function was
n sort OF dance, TO which the partici-
pants and audience were summoned
by the beating of drums 80 loud that
1t could be heard for n distance Of
eight or ten miles. One OF the curl
Gus customs described by the captain
was their method OF using tobacco.
The leaf was made into a "treac1ay
decoction" and this was clicked cere-
monially" by friends in the tribal
palaver, and also as q sort of binder
like an oath-in making con.
tract.

M Y De Lay and wife of Car

business. Mr. De Lay is one of Ell
ko County's most enthusiastic min
ing men. His enthusiasm is back

He is now operating two mines
and was in town today supefin-
tending the shipment of a car of
high grade from Lone Mountain.
He is miner who works and gets
results. That's what counts in the
mining game. Talk is cheap and
wind bags are as thick as the fall
ing leaves in autumn. Fortu-
nately Mr. De Lay is not a wind
jammer. He is a miner every day
in the week and hard work and
pertinacity are beginning to count.
The men behind him are fortunate
in having so capable and coascient-
ious man at the helm in Elko

ELKO development LEAGUE

Editor Elko Independent,
/ have been so busy for the past
few days that l have been unable
until now to give my version Of the
Elko Development League contro-
varsy, but it is rs folloWs:-
In Mr. Gray's article in your
issue of September 9Th, he says
that his predecessor made no re-
port to him, nor turned over any of
the membership application blanks
to, but he was given a list of the
members with some marked paid
aud that upon investigation he
, found some who were not so mark
ed had paid one years dues. l want
to say that at the time l was super
ceded by Mr.. Gray, he was at Car
son and did not return here until
the legislature adjoined and that
all the papers Of the League, to-
gether with the membership blanks
and the list of members was turned
over by myself to the First Nation
al Bank, whose President, Mr..
Kimball, was also President of the
League. Mr.. Kimball was in Salt
Lake at the time and l left the
package at the bank with instruc-
tions to give it to him when he re-
turned, which l suppose was done
and when Mr. Gray was given the
list of members, l cannot under
stand why the other papers were
not given to him also. Not know
ing what list of members Mr. Gray
received, l do not know who may
have been marked paid or other
wise, but / am enclOsing you the
Treasurer's list Of those who paid
their fees either to him or to my
self daring my term as Secretary,
"a list by the way which was al
( Tays easy of access to Mr. Gray,
and which did not necessitate a
very strenuous investigation upon
his part to determine who had paid
and who not-and lest there be
some doubt in the minds Of the
people of this county as to whether
sume who have paid their dues in
to the League, may not have receiV-
ed credit for the same, want to
say that II any member who paid
his dues either to myself or to Mr.
Henderson between the dates of
Dec, 4th. 1912 and April 10Th,
1913 inclusive does not find his
name among those of the enclosed
list and will produce any evidence
Of any payment to either one of us,
will Immediately pay the same
to the treasurer.
Yours Very Truly,
