Berlin.-"What relief"
That was the thought that flashed
upon me as the luxurious Limousine
which Berlin calls taxi" whizzed up
Briederichstrasse and turned into the
famous Inter den Linden.
For, indeed, this capital was con-
trast, and a most grateful one, to Lon
don. There the darkened streets, ever
expectant of Zeppelins, gave one the
shivers, even more than raw, yellow
fog. Here lights blazed everywhere,
the air was clear and braclng, and
well-dressed crowds we're scurrying
to the theaters, TO the opera or TO
dine at the great restaurants.

WORM IS TAKING
 HARVARD COURSE

Cambridge, Mass. Jan. 12-'tOne- Eyed Pete Harvard,s trained worm, stands at the head of his class. De- spite the fact that he comes of a race that does not know enough to get in out of the rains Peter is now displaying intelligence enough to get him a Harvard degree if he could only pass the oral examination.
 Prof. Robert M. Yerkes is Pete's teacher. He has taught him how to perform par1or tricks and not be- come embarrassed in the presence of strangers. Every afternoon Prof, Yerkes lets Pete take a constitutional through a tricky hole with two ends one ending with a, comfortable resting place and the other charged with electricity.
 When it came to the parting of the ways the worm didn't care at first whether it went to the right or to the left and so was shocked consfdera- ply. But recently Pete has avoided the capital punishment aperture and now it always goes into the hole that affords comforts without any mod ern electrical improvements
 Pete now awaits shfs next course nonchalance.

A. TRIBUTE TO EX-
 GOVERNOR BALDWIN

(From the Catholic Transcript
 It as t.Ex's Governor Baldwin now. That our former chief executive does not close his career with a. term in the United States Senate is not the fault of the statesman, but the pen- aIty that waits upon the verdict of the polls controlled by the devious arts of politicians
 When Simeon B. Baldwin took the glIbernat toriaI chair he was easily our leading citizen. He is so today de- spite the vicissitudes of politics. To have reached the post of chief justice Io four supreme court, to have lifted 1 the law department of Yale University to place of eminence, if not of un- rivaIled superiority among similar in stitutions, were honor enough for one man. But to have ones name cross the seas and in those circles where l international law summons to its in- l terpretation the first jurists of the world is an honor unique in the an nals of Conn ecticut.
 A longtime affiliation with social, l legal and religious associations has proven his title to more than academ- 1 ic Interest in the problems of the day. 1 The judges contributions to the so- l lution Of the knotty questions that are constantly coming to the front l ties created by many-sided inmigra- ton, have been practical, luminous and far-reac hing
 That ex-Governor Baldwin has not isatis1ed the practical politician who
 sdghs for office and the spoils of of
 flee goes without saying. His ap- d pointmentss except in rare instances did not tend to strengthen, politically, l the party that raised him to place and .I power His friends will credit the
 former governor with rising above I mere party lines and making his ap- I pointmenfs in the interests of the
 state rather than of any politica I party. His critics, perhaps, never

HOG CHOLERA REMEDY
 MISREPRESENTED, SAYS
 U. s. AGRICULTURE DEPT.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 2@The at fention of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture has been called to the fact that the makers of 2. medi- cine sold as a hog-cholera remedy are nadsusing government figures of the results obtained by Federal agents by the use of anti-hog-choleFa serum, as evidence of the efficacy of their meo1f- cine. In several magazines there have. appeared reading notices in which there are statements that this medicine has resulted in saving many hogs from hog cholera. in Pettis coun- ty. Mo, Montgomery county Ind, and Dallas county, Ia. The figures given to indicate the results are exactly those reported to the Department by its agents as showing the use and ef- feet of anti-hog- cholera serum in sick herds.
 For example, the government fig ures on the use of serum, which are misused in this way by the medicine concern are as follows:
 Pettis County, Mo
 Hogs in infected herds treated, 5,904 Hogs lost 103S Montgomery County, Ind.
 Number Of sick hogs in infect
 ed herds treated, 4,562 Hogs lost, |. 894 Dallas County la
 Number of sick hogs in infect
 ed herds treated, ,........ 5,686 Hogs lost, .T....z-. 1898
 It is scarcely possible that any rem edy could have been used on identical Iy the same number of hogs and with exactly the same results as the anti hog-cholera serum. On this point the | inspector in charge in Pettis county. Mo, states:
 ..As far as we are able to ascer- tain none of this remedy has been used in Pettis county"
 Farmers and others. therefore, are warned not to confuse this remedy with the i-hog-cholera serum 1 which is the one method of treatment used by the Federal Department of Agriculture,

Foxtail or tickle grass has been
about the only obnoxious weed thai
the farmers of Carson Valley have
had to contend with thus far but now
q more dreaded weed is making it's
appearance in { ferent parts of the
Valley. This weed is known as the
Canadian thistle and il is said that
when it once gains footho old, it is
one of the most obstinate weed pests
to eradicate. 1t is rapid grower
and an enemy to alfalfa fields.
George Dsnabere reports that if
has made its presence in one field on
their holdings and that he intends to
piow out every yestage of the thistle.
Last year there were but a few stalks
OF the thistle in this particular field
but this year it has spread something
alarming. If proper precsution is
taken before the thistle gains anv
material headway, it will be easy ia

SETS FIRE To
LOCAL bAST|LE

Sunday evening the residents of
Gardnerville were startled by the
alarm of fire and rushing to the fire
engine house, discovered that the IN
terror of the jail, next to the engine
house was on fire and great clouds of
smoke were pouring from the Jail
The fire was started by Dick George,
an lndiar aho was arrested by the
officers dnrinc the afte-aon,. for be
ing drunk and disorderly. After
sioping through the smoke for some
time, Earl Christensen finally located
the half-suffocated prisoner and drag
ged him out OF the jail. The Indian
had removed every stitch of his cloth
ing and he was given a rough ride on
his back across the cement floor of
The Jail. He had set fire to his
clothing which turn had ignited 4
pile of block wood In one corner of
his cell
Charles Berning was the first to
discover the fire and imediately gave
the alarm. Had it not been for the
fact that the jail building Is of con-
crete. II is quite probable that the
structure would have been destroyed.

TWO MARRIAGES
ERNEST FAY CLAIMS MISS
NELLIE DOWD AS BRIDE
AT STOCKTON, SUNDAY

At Stockton, California, last Sunday
afternoon Ernest Fay claimed Miss
Nellie Dowd as his bride, being the
elimination of pretty courtship
that started in this Valley. The we'd
ding occurred at the home of the
brides parents and was attended by
relatives of the contracting parties.
After a three weeks honeymoon
spent in California the couple will
return to this Valley where they will
make their future home.
Although a resident of Stockton,
the bride is not unknown in this Va
ley. For the past several years she
has taught the Fredericksburg school
and it was while holding this position
that she met the young man who
claimed her as his bride last Sunday
Ernest Fay is the youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. e. Fay of Fairview
who for many years have been identi-
fled with the farming interests of
Carson Valley. The groom is a high
ly respected young man and like his
bride, has a host of warm friends in
this locality.
This paper joins with their many
friends in showering them with our
best wishes for long and happy
married life.
