THE CURRENCY BILL.

Endorsement of a majority of tho
principal provisions of the currency
bill by the banking and currency
committee of the chamber of com
merce of the United States will go far
toward commencing the measure to
public confidence.
The approval giver the measure
was not unqualified but sufficiently so

merce committee believes the general
features of the bill are we'll drawn.
What are regarded as defects are
pointed out. Among these is the plan
TO have twelve regional reserve dis
tricts. The committee thinks a less
number would be more practical and
efficient.
Sen. owen and Rep. Glass. who are
responsible for the bill in the two
houses Of congress. have promised to
take the committees recommended
tons under consideration and make
changes in accordance with them if
found advisable. The authors of the
currency bill are anxious to so frame
legislation on this 'bject that IL will
afford the desired T, lef. Their main
objects are TO render the currency less

TIE SOUTH WANTS FARMERS.

After having our attention called to
the "boundleSs west" until the boun-
daries of that region have become well
defined we are asked to regard the
almost immeasureable resources Of
the south as evidence that that sec
ton is now the natural outlet for the
farmer emigrant tide rather than the
country beyond the Rockies or Can
ada.
Congressman Lever OF South Caro-
lima says that if FORAGE Greeley were
alive today he would say, GO south
young man" on account of the great
opportunity which awaits him. Mr..
Lever says there are 5000, 900
acres of uncultivated land in the
south which in five years would sur
pass in production any land in Illinois
or Iowa. These lands await the
touch of the intelligent farmer to
double the quantity of our agricultu-
raj products.
This is undoubtedly true. and it is
equally true, as Mr.. Lever says, that
the south needs farmers. but the
south has something to do before the
farmers it needs will cone to it and
convert its waste lands into pro-
ductive farms. There are social and
political conditions which must be
corrected before northern people will
make their homes there in any con-
siderable numbers.
The northern farmer is not mud
silP', nor does he care to be consid-
cred as such by any neighbors he may
have. He could not stand for the
mock aristocracy that is still too much
in evidence in the south. nor is he
enamored of the kind of labor the
south has to put up with. At the
same time he likes 10 live in coun-
try where he knows his vote will be
counted and count for something
after 1t is cast.

other end of the instrument
What's all this about, anyway,

mystified than ever.

ROUGE, POWDER AND
BURlESQUE OF SEX
Rector of st. Brendan's Church,
BROOKLYN

u. II,
Brooklyn.
Every young woman should scorn
those compact, extravagant styles of
dress which are calculated to incite
the evil and attract the vicious Rouge
and cosmetics, which detract rather
than add to her beauty, she should
carefully avoid. Gentility and mod
esty-those womanly traits which
manly men most admire-should
should characterize her ways.
She should be well dressed. The
world admires the modest woman
prettily and beco mingly gowned, but
recoils at her sister who burlesques
her sex by the adoption of costumes
which merit the condemnation they
receive.
We wish to see the young woman
so attired as to reflect the dearest
and most wholesome of her charms
modesty-and to continue TO hold the
admiration of clean-minded men, the
only kind the Christian girl should
wish to know.
Does the girl who adopts the ex-
travagant prevailing gowns ever stop
TO ask who conceives them? Does she
ever ask whether those persons were
actuated by mere mercenary motives
1t is we'll to ponder over these ques-
tions. Any parent cherishing the fu-
ture OF his daughter should bear in
mind this fact: There is moral
value in modesty as well as real
charm.
1t is immeasurably immodest 10

IL is in its utility that il should be

unattractive. But this coating OF
ones complexion so that natures
charms are concealed is silly and
marring. IT is not modest.

Ten years behind the walls of gray.
He did not shudder and implore,
As he had shuddered years before;
He snarled and spat upon the floor.
The prison with it's shadows grim
Had been a sort of home for him
Since he was young and starved and

He cursed the great, the roaring town,
Where all he looked for was a frown,
He cursed the hounds who ran him

The young ever doubling the old
And suffering sorrow and tears,
Because they refused to be told.
Each girl-oh. you couldn't tell her.
Each boy was a wise little elf,
And so, as was bound tc. occur,
He had to find out for himself.
Through trouble and sorrow and pain
We gather the little we know,
And then when we try to explain
Our children just laugh as they go.

And you'll get the same deal from

KILLED BY L|GHTNING

During a thunder storm last Fri
day Frank Abel was struck and
Instantly killed by a bolt from
heaven. He was driving a four
mule team about 25 miles from
Deeth when the storm came up.
The leaders were both killed, the
wheel team was uninjured while the
driver was killed and a team Of
mules following the wagon were
killed. The deceased was badly
burned and his clothes were almost
torn from his body. How the wheel
team escaped being killed will pro-
badly remain a mystery. The de-
ceased bad relatives living iE Ari-
zona and Keyser's Undertaking Es-
tablishment are trying to locate
them by wire. The body has been
embalmed and is at Keyer's Chapel
pending news from his relatives.

was a dinner, in honor Of the cell

If Mr.. Search's profession did

Mcbride would not have calmed
his nerves at the array of hostesses

Character can largely be deter
mined by persons laugh, says
Frederick Moore who will soon be
seen here in his great characterize
tion of Mephisto in the celebrated
play Faust"
Character study with me is a
profession and through force OF
habit have made the laugh a
key to open the door to the inter-
ior that is more or less guarded.
l have catalogued about FIVE
laughs as the principal hypothesis
to make my character deductions,
There is the loud boisterous haw-
haw which usually denote a fleshy
easy going fellow passive and
harmless. This type is usually de-
voted to the shady side Of the
street, optimistic and generally
good company for an idle hour.
Another is the insidious laugh a
sort Of dry cackle that lacks sin
cereity. A person committed to
this sort of thing will bear watch
ing. People of good breeding usu-
ally express their mirth by q gen.
tie subduad laugh The meaning
less laugh is a sort of he-he,
great many persons inject into
their conversation; kind Of arti-
fetal good nature supposedly to
impress that idea. Then there is
the laugh of revenge sort Of
hysterical explosion that bears
every semblance of cruelty and hat
red. Taking these separately one
must analyze the different express
sion of each laugh and what rela.
tion il bears to the other
For instance my laugh as me
phisto" is sort of revengeful tri-
umphant expression. yet it is so
tempered as to denote self posses
sion something akin to the playful
purring Of a cat who has in his
possession a mouse"

Today the edict of polite society
is under the ban. sectarianism has
been taught lesson it will never
forget. while the ethics of political
economy has been shown to be a
folly by mere woman" Saturday
night was an eventful one in the
annals of our town. The Draper
Self Culture Club of Elko has in
culcated in the minds and hearts of
our peonle, at one fell swoop, the
earnest, honest desira to live in

and be a friend to man That de-
sire was accentuated by the read
ing of that beautiful poem that is
so full, by suggestion, of the milk
of human kindness. The phrase
a feast of reason and flow of
wit" has been given new meaning
and to the Draper Self Culture
Club belongs the credit. The first
open meeting was held in the Pres
byterian Church Saturday night
when the flower and chivalry of Elko
was regaled with a program that
will go down in local history as
the most unique, instructive, en-
tertaining and pleasing entertain.
ment ever before given in Flko
county. In theatrical parlance
there was not a dull moment from
the first to the last curtain.
The following paper was read by
Mrs. c. Stevenson which was read
in most delightful manner and
was enthusiastically received.
"Since our organization 7 months
ago we have worked earnestly and
systematically toward better
understanding of the true worth
and hidden beauty left us by the
masters in order that we might
enjoy them ourselves and be pre-
pared to teach them in turn to the
younger generation.
The most cynical person can not
call our club a "Home-wrecker."
The early hour of adjournment
half past four and the unusual
featue of having no refreshments
make it possible to avert the trag-
edy that commonly follow when
housewife attends an afternoon
function; namely serving our fam
ished husbands and children with
sardine sandwich and brilliant

gowns.
