AUTOS OBSTRUCT
A NARROW STREET
BRoU6HER AVENUE BLOCKED BY
NUMBER OF IDLE
VEHICLES.

The attention of the chief of police
is directed to the line of autos every
evening in front of the Bank block,
where they obstruct traffic and offer
a serious bar in the event of the fire
department being called above Main
street. Owners of machines should
be compelled to store their autos on
the side street and leave the road
clear for passing traffic.
At the same time 1t may be said
that no attention is paid to the ordi-
nance requiring machines to display
lights after dark, and it is common
occurrence TO see machines SPEEDING
up and down Main street before the
eyes of police officers without any
Interference. 1t is well to remind
auto owners that pedestrians have a
few rights that should be respected.

MT. ODO|E TANK
BURNS IN A GALE
BLAZE WATCHED WITH KEEN IN
TEREST UNTIL 1T is ER-
TINGUISHED.

At o'clock this afternoon a
crossed connection ON the huge
wooden tank of the Tonopah Mining
company, near the top of Mount Cd
die, caused fire to start in the cover
jng of the reservoir, which burned
furiously, famed by a wind that blew
at the rate of 35 miles an hour. The
spectacle was watched from the bust
ness district for some time before
the fire was attacked by employees of
the company. The loss will not
amount to much and there will be no
interference with the water service
on Mizpah hill.
The tank has capacity of 25,0O0
gallons.

state, In addition, some thirty odd
candidates from White Pine county
will be here to ride the goat and get
the goats of the fellows who make
them ride for they all like to get
even and they usually succeed. II is
estimated that not less than 150
visitors will be here for the occasion
and the Goldheld bunch will swell
the ranks OF the pleasure-makers.
The program provides fun and en-
tertainment for all The diversity
of entertainment has never been ex-
celled and every feature of the pro
gram has been carefully studied out
so that the tastes of all will find
way of recreation and enjoyment.
The foregoing furnishes tabloid
statement OF what will be done and
everybody who is interested in any
part of the entertainment should cut
it out and stow 1t away in his vest
pocket for future reference.
If there is any loophole for i'm
provement you are invited to take
the committee of arrangements to
one side and show them where they
can squeeze in something else. How
ever, it's dollars TO doughnuts that
the visitors will have some side lines
of their own TO spring, so the local
bunch may as well be prepared foI
few surprises. However, the sheriff
and chief Of police are ready to turr
over the keys of the city and locf

( fun begins at dusk tomorrow evening
and then after that watch for tht
lurid reflection in the sky.

through the rigging Of the Peacock.
while the British sIoop had been
huiied nearly fifty times. The Eper-
yier proved to be valuable prize.

OF $11S,O0O was found. In addition,
when the vessel was sold to the Unit

; Sixteen years ago We were slaugh-

We were putting cold steel through

we could we made their blood run

On one occasion q fox terrier got
to the edge Of the bascule and sat

being so built that the eggs do not

L0NDONERS HAVE LONG LIFE
Recent Figures Show That British
Capital Is Healthy Place In
Which to Live.

The assertion Of its admirers that
London. England. is the healthiest
city in the whole world is evidently
not without some Justification.
Once it used to be said and be-
lieved that the true Londoner. the
"Cocknev." died out in three gem
erations. This may have been true
once. but it is not the case now. In
deed, report of the London county
council proves that I.ondoners are
living longer, whsle statistics of old
folks indicate that the capital is RI
vallng Brighton in the longevity of
many of It's inhabitants.
Last year, for example. there were
7,5OO deaths.of l.ondoners who had
lived for over seycnty-iive wears. 4
mean future life table based on mod
ern statistics shows that the Lon
doner who is sevcnty-live is due to
live for another five or six wears and
that those who have reached eighty
five can rely on an average of another
three years of life.
The man of thirty-fve has an av-
eraSe future Of twenty-six years, but
the woman Of the same age will live
for another twenty-nine years; for
in all the age groups the women hold
10 existence with greater tenacitv.
But the notable point is that Lon
doners do not in these DAYS automat-
ically die off ut the third generation.

HOBBIES OF CROWNED HEADS
Gus Objects Seems to Have Been
the Chief Of Them.

The award to the king of Italy of
prize from the French Academic
des Inscriptions ct Bellies Lettres in
connection with his numismatic work
suggests some other hobbies OF
crowned heads.
King George is an ardent stamp
collector. and his sister. the queen
of Norway, is said to derive much
amusement from her collection of
press clippings giving inaccurate ac-
counts of her own doings.
King Edward had most curious
hobby, the collection of the avoirdu-
pois of his friends, all of whom had
to undergo the ordeal of the San
dringham scales, the host himself
keeping the records.
Queen Victoria's hobby in collec-
tions was a rather melancholy one,
taking the form of sepulchral memo
rials of her friends and relations.
The kaiser, of course, has innu-
merable hobbies in art. music and
letters, and in addition he has the
finest collection of uniforms in the
world. Louis NVFs tastes ran in
the direction Of clocks. and George
~ made one of the finest collec-
tons of snuff boxes ever assembled.
in addition to 500 whips and 500
pocketbooks, which were found at his
death.

PICKED UP WRONG OBJECT
Force Of Habit Caused hur~ytns Com

For years this commuter had come
down in the morning, laid his watch
beside his plate, drank of the cup
of coffee which an attendant wife or
daughter placed ready to his hand,
picked up his watch again aud bolted
for the 8:11.
This morning he had set his watch
down and stretched out his hand for
the cup which his daughter placed
= beside him, when there was a crash
Of splintering glass and little e1-
clamation of .dismay from his wife.
. who had gone into the next room.
q He rose instantly, picked up some
thing from the table, stuffed it into
his pocket and went to his wife's as
sistance. The accident was of no
moment, and he returned to the
breakfast table, demanding, with
some irritation of now somewhat
hysterical little schoolgirl that she
give him his coffee without delay,
when warm trickling down the side
OF his leg advised him of the lengths
70 which habit will lead one. He
had pOcketed the coffee.
