And men relate tale Of brave
and resourceful little schoolteacher In
one of our suburbs who supports her
mother and three young sisters on
her by no means munificent salary.
Last week her mother called her up
by telephone. Listen" walled the old
lady, "a whole bunch of relatives Is
coming to supper tomorrow evening.
I'll have to make a cake, or something,
and haven't an egg In the house. And
the grocer won't trust us any more,
and there won't be any money until
next week, and"
Never mind, mother--Tll fix 1t"
answered the young teacher, cheerily.
Then she turned again to her class.
Now children she said, "tomor-

Of Columbus, and how he made the

please bring an egg to school tomor-

Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
In existence only 80 years, yet the an
nual exports of black tea amount to
nearly $2O.ooO,O0O in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main in
dustry, but after disease of the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin-
ued Many planters, however, re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the islands old prosperity revived. To
day Ceylon boasts $500 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes 1t irksome. What is
wanted mainly of employees is to
watch mancinery and feed it from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Sing
halese, but natives of southern India.
A laborer's wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents day, while foreman's
salary averages 5000 a month.-Har-

CLAM.

That be Vas merely acting in order
10 establish his title 10 the land in
question was the reason assigned by
] W Puett 81 Carlln II discussing
his controversy with the Southern
Pacific railroad sunday. Mr.. Puett
came up from carlin this morning
and spent the day here attending to
business.
He stated that on Sunday he con
structed fence along land purchased
by him on October Is, 1908. from the
Pacific Improvement company a sub
sidiary land company Of the Southern
Pacific company Later he found that
the ESQ acres purchased, which con
tanned the Carlin townsite, also EN-
braced a strip of land about so feet
in width and 500 feet long upon
which the railroad had constructed its
tracks.
Every month Puett submitted a bill
Of $25 to the railroad company Cor
the use Of his land, and no payment
was ever made. He also took up the
matter with the railroad company
and no settlement was effected. In
order to prevent the company from
gaining title to the land by law
which provides that five years use
Of the property would allow it to re
vert to its possession, Puett con
structed the fence Sunday, after hav
ing County Surveyor Frissell run the
lines. The five-year limitation would
have expired on the 18th.
Eight cattle cars were run on the
siding during the time Puett was con
structing the fence and in order Il
string the wires across the track h,
found it necessary to shove four O
