To Iron Fine pamask Linen.

There Is superstition that fine
damask shows up better IL ironed with.
out drying, Q superstition that de.
serves to be exploded. Hang your
linen very smooth and take it down,
folding It az smooth as possible, when
1t 10 fairly damp. Let 1t lie folded and
covered thickly an hour or 30, then
iron dry. This you can do with In.
finitely less wear to the fabric than II
you ironed It sopping wet. AS to the
saving Of muscle no words are needed.
II things are allowed to get bone dry,
then sprinkled down, they never come
quite so smooth as II folded damp.
But bone drying in midsummer sun Is
worth while now and again, In that It
sweetens and whitens as no artificial
agency possibly can.

A SAD DEATH

Death is no respectc< of persons
or of times. 1t comes at the mid
night hour and at high noon. 1t
invades the home in seasons of joy
and when hearts are broken with
sorrow. The home of Mr.. A. j.
Simcox was visited by the Death
Angel Tuesday night and the spirit
of his beloved wife was borne
into the realms of the Unknown.
Mrs. Simcox was born in Quincy,
Illinois. in 1881. She came to Elko
county with her fathers family
1910 and went with them to a
ranch on South Fork. In 1911
she came to Elko and has since
been a resident. In July she was
married to Mr.. Simcox. She was
taken sick Christmas Eve and
passed away shortly after the
shadows fell on the last day of the
year. Her death was shock to
her many friends and a crushing
blow to her husband and family.
May they be comforted by the
thought that their loved one
sweetly sleeps in the spirit land.
She was a member of the Chris
tian Science Society and the funeral
service were read at the under
taking parlors at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. After which a delega-
ton of Elks escorted the remains
to the cemetery on the hill and
laid away with the Christian
Science rites.
The Independent extends the
sympathy of the community to the
aged father, stricken husband and
all Who mourn the loss of their low
ed one. May God comfort and con-
sole them in their great sorrow.

HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF

The Calument offers the foil wv
ing good advice: Have faith in
yourself, young man. Don't
imagine that the other fellow is a
superior creature, and that you
have got to step aside and let him
pass you on the. road to success.
Don't get the idea into your head
that all of the worthwhile things
in the world are beyond you. They
are not. But they will be until
you bring yourself around to the
point where you can size up your
own powers and abilities, and get
to know yourself. Have faith in
yourself. Believe in yourself.
Trust in yourself Honor your
self. Rely on yourself. Be your
self. Anyway. you are as good
the next man, and perhaps very
much better. Ten chances to one,
the other fellow is putting a
mental premium on your ability,
and classifying you as a winner.

MAN CREATOR OF CHARACTER
Portion Of the Immortal Life That IN
Law Of Nature Must Endure
For Ever.

Nature works upon the lower forms
OF life. A higher power than the
stone has formed It; tho trees. the
flowers, even the insects and beasts
are plastic materials in the hands OF
the Great Potter. Through It, in un.
thinkable time. the bodies are formed
for man. He enters the temple pre-
pared for him. and nature. who has
been supreme, now bows before the
mystery. She sees before her not alone
the world stun to be fashioned, but
the very creative spark. No longer
can she mold unaided. 1t becomes her
office now to furnish the opportunities
for the entering man, who has before
him the herculean task OF evolving the
human mind. No outside force alone
can make him. The creative seed is
Itself within him, Every event, every
circumstance. Is something to be met
and acted upon by him. the creator Of
his own destiny. Whether ignorantly
or consciously, he works in the illimit-
able and exhaustless laboratory of ma
ture. and therein slowly but surely
fashions character. Human laws may
be framed and forgotten; temples may
be reared and crumble; whole races
may. pass through their allotment OF
sorrow, despair and JOY, and be no
more; continents may rise and sink;
but character, by means of which all
these things are formed and colored,
character, as part of man, the immor-
tai, endures-Gertrude van Pelt In the
Theosophical Path.

They have curious way of
managing some railways in Syria.
Weary of much riding, a party of
travellers on their way to Beyrout
resolved one day to 60 by train.
They arrived at primitive station,
but could find no ststitlonmas,er.
presently, however, one of the
camp follower arrived, looked
about, and, spying a small red flag
lying on the platform, made off
with it along the line. When "a
train came in the man waved it the
flag, the engine driver pulled up
and the travellers got in. Later,
while the train was putting on it's
way, the guard came along the
footboard and issued the tickets,
carefully noting down the names,
nationality and occupations of the
passengers. Two stations far her
on they got out and there was not
only stationmaster but a porter,
and the latter stayed with them all
day in an orchard till the camp
arrived, meanwhile feeding them
with honey from the comb. Where
else, one wonders, could such a
charming railway system be
found?-Wide World Magazine

The industry, which has long been
the salvation Of the little island. with
It's scant population, really had its be-
ginning In 1850. when an Arab plant.
ed zoo shrubs. Said Burgash, sultan
or the island. saw the commercial
possibilities OF the plant and caused
cloves to be set out by his people. A
cyclone in 1872 devastated the island
and uprooted the trees, but within a
short time the sultan had them ne
placed. Since then the industry has
grown steadily.

PRIMEAuvs ACQUITTED.

The Primeaux arson case went
to the jury about s o'clock Tues
day afternoon. The jury wrestled
with the case for some lime and
then came into court and asked
that certain evidence read. This
was done and Attorney McCarran
asked that other parts Of the
evidence be read also. The
evidence was read and the jury
again retired. About 1890
Wednesday morning they came
into court with a verdict of not
guilty There were but few people
in the court room at the time and
some of them appIauded the YER
dict. After the verdict was re-
corded, Judge Averill thanked the
Jury for their close attention to- The
case and discharged them. The
defendants we're discharged and
their bonds exonerated. Court then
adjourned. Thus ended a criminal
iris that has cost Elko county
thousands upon thousands of
dollars.
We understand that on the first
ballot the jury stood q to q for &C.
quittal and the second was unani-
nous. The verdict was no surprise
to those who had kept close track
of the trial. Itbeing the opinion of
many that the jury would hang or
bring in the verdict 1t did.
Although we have no intention of
criticising the verdict of the
jury, we do not believe as to Roy
Primeaux it meets with the ap-
proval of the thinking public.
The jury. however, had to act npon
the evidence submitted t, them
and the instructions Of the court
and the verdict was in accordance.
In July 1911 William Dye was con-
victed of participation in the crime
for which the Primeauxs were &C
gifted. But few believed from
the start that Antoine Prmeaux
had anything to do with the actual
burning of A. W. SewelI & Co. IS
store, but the opinion WIS almost
universal that Roy Primeaux and
Dye, burned, the store and that
A. Primeaux assisted them when
he learned of their guilt. The
verdict as to SSMr. Primeaux isSS
accord with the general sentiment
of the public.
The state claimed to have
stronger case against the Primeaux
than'it had against Dye. Yet Dye
is convicted und punished and his
com panion in crime is acquitted.
The cause of this seeming anomoly
the reader must figure out for
himself. ....-
