Napoleon and the Army of Italy
BY REV. THos. B. GREGORY.

TINE Little Corporal" was
made commander-in-chief
of the Army of Italy"
one hundred ard eighteen years
ago
He lacked five months of being
% years old, and only II years
had passed sine he was a charity
student at Brienne.
In the meantime he had kept
himself in the limelight. and at
Toulon had won the distinction
which he knew would give him
the opportunity he wanted. The
opportunity came when the Di-
rectory commissioned him to see
what he could 60 against the
Austrians in Italy
When the Little Corporal took
charge Of the Army of Italy il
was composed of some 10000 rag
ged, half-staryed soldiers, but he
breathed into it his own invincible
spirit and buckled himself down
to business. At his achievements
the world will never cease Won
dering. In brief campaign of
wonderful cash. daring and bril-
liancy he ruined an army of 50. 600

heard of one retiring from bust

There seems to be little danger
that the Elks' fraternity will
evolve into a religion. He knows
that truth is a point of view, that
all is relative, that nothing is
final nor absolute. nor can it DE
in world where nothing is per-
manent but change.
So the Elk's religion is Now
and Here; to partake of all good
things in moderation; to give out
love and kindness because these
things come back, and to supply a
scrap only to the man who re-
peatedly asks for it, and will ac-
cept nothing else--this as mat
ter of accommodation.
To do good is the first prong in
an Elk's creed And he realizes,
being wise, that the best way to
benefit yourself is TO benefit
others.

HAVE just been reading
Government bulletin that has
filed me with renewed thank
fitness for the fact that | had the
good fortune to spend my boy
hood in the country, where made
the intimate acquaintance OF the
queen of American trees, the
sugar maple, which is far more
wonderful in it's gifts to mankind
than any Of the vaunted monoco-
tvledons of the lazy tropics, with
their ready made bread and
ready-soured milk.
If you have ever tapped a
sugar maple and drank the juice
fresh from the tree; if you have
ever attended sugar party" and
tasted the indescribable candy
produced by throwing the boiling
syrup upon bank of fresh snow
where it is quickly frozen into a
mama that seems to combine the
favors and perfumes of all the
fruits and flowers of Paradise; If
you have ever eaten, on your
morning pancakes. real, genuine,
unadulteTated maple syrup-syr-
up that would pass even DR. Wi
ley's spection-syrup that would
turn sour in the mere presence
of patent can; if among your
fathers treasures was "secre-
tary," or big writing desk, made
of that most exquisite of cabinet
woods, "bird's-eye maple"-then
you will rejoice with me over the
news contained in the ''agricultu-

RECEIVER BADLY NEEDED

In another column of this issue ap-
pears an article written in Washing
ton by the correspondent of the Sac
amento Bee, which says that all Ne
vada Federal appointments have been
filed by Senators Newlands and
Pittman excepting register and re-
ceiver of the Carson City Land Office.
In other words, every appointment
has been made expect the one in
which the public is vitality interested.
Since the death of Receiver Ire
mont, which occurred several months
ago, business in the Carson land office
has been at a standstill, for the reas-
on there has beer no official there
with authority to accept and receipt
up public lands who have sent in
their applications with the fees,
have had their money returned by
Register Cohn, with the information
that no money can be received by the
land Office until a new receiver has
been appointed. Several citizens of
Humboldt county who have had their
money returned in this manner are
patiently waiting for the appoint
ment of a receiver, in the hope that
their fling may prove valid as soon
as that official has been named and
accepted their money.
It is claimed, in justification for
this long delay in making the ap-
pointment, that the office has been
rendered to one or more Democrats,
but declined owing to the small pay
it carries. It is stated that since the
division of the state into two land
districts, that the receivership of the
Carson land office is not worth more
than $500 or 5000 per year, in fees.
Ii this is so, it might be a good idea
to again consolidate the two dis
tricts. In any event, the public de-
mands and has a right to the service.

CITY GIRLS At
WELLESLEY LOSE
MUCH IN FIRE

After losing all thcir possessions
IN the fire which destroyed one of
the buildings at Wei sley Mass,
early yesterday morning. Mi N.n-
fired Bach and Miss Charlotta Ma
hafty, two Wilmington girls. w.o are
students at Wellesley, rtcuIncd to
their homes here last evening. Miss
Barbara Bach, who is also a student
at Wellesley, but who did no. r. ON
in the building which was destroyed
by the fire. accompanied them.
Miss Mahaffey is a daughter of VII
liam G. Mahatfy. L. S. Commissioner
and the Misses Bach are daughters of
Mrs. Fred +. Bach. who went to New
York last evening to meet her daugh
ters.
Both Miss Mahaffy and Miss Wini-
fred Bach lost practically every thins
they had in the fire and we're com-
PEELED 10 draw on the wardrobe OF
Miss Barbara Bach.
In speaking Of the fire, Miss Bach
vividly told of the narrow escape
of the girls from the burning dormi-
tory. The fire was discovered about
4.30 o'clock yesterday morning by
two girls rooming on the third foor,
who heard the cracking of burning
wood on the fourth floor. The alarm
was given. and in a short time the
250 girls in the building passed ou.
in single file without any panic or
disorder. Long before the fire COM
panies arrived at the scene of the
fire, the girls had reached places OF
safety. although practically none was
able to save anything from tteir
rooms.
MISS Winifred Bach and Miss Ma
hany occupied rooms on the third
floor of the building. and were forced
to hurry from the place attired only
in their night clothes. leaving behind
them all their clothing and iewelry.
Fortunately Miss Barbara Bach,
sister of Miss Winifred Bach, occu-
pied rooms in another building and
was able 10 furnish clothing to her
sister and Miss Mahaffy.
None of the girls suffered i'll ef-
fects from their thrilling experie1ce
beyond slight colds. The college will
be closed for at least three weeks,
and possibly longer.
