ChivaIry,

DO you know said the particu-
larly well-groomed and elaborateIy
vivacious lady in the full bloom of
her second youth, that | have the
most wonderful gardener in the world
the tenderest hearted not only OF
gardeners, but of men? He has always
made me up very special bouquet on
my birthday and presented it to me in
person. But ever since | was thirty
well, he's only given me birthday
bouquet every third year."

Is That So?

Nobody will deny that the actual
necessities of human life are simple
Add scanty article of clothing and
a club to the menage of one of the
larger apes in zoo, give him fire
along with his rations, and the needs
of primitive man are supplied. Three
or four days of hunger in an open boat
will bring the most highly civilized
man to accept with avidity food that
that ape would reject. The matter Of
requirements is not an exact science
it is altogether dependent upon the
point of fview.-EXchange.

A Missouri farmer had ordered a
fancy pig from a breeder. The pig
was mere mite of pig and the
farmer sent it back. Dear Sir he

of the pig and the bill, am forced
to the conclusion that you got them
mixed. You should have sent the pig

Don't Spend Money FooIishly.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to spend money foolishly or carelessly.
1t takes strength and determination
to resist the temptation to do so. but
successfully resisting the temptation
brings two rewards-a stiffening of
your mental and moral backbone and
an increase III your material resources.

Sheriff Charles L. Slavin of Nye

place to serve a term of ten years,
which may be extended to life, at
the option of the pardoning powers,
in the state penitentiary for murder.
Costello a few weeks, ago, killed
The squaw with whom he was living

Sensational HOld-up
In Southern Camp

At $3.50 yesterday morning Tono-
pah had a sensational hold-up, by
which the bandits vino engaged, in
the play profitted to the extent of
about $500. At the hour mentioned
two men, their faces, with the excep-
ton of the eyes, covered by masks,
entered the Cobweb saloon on
Brougher avenue and at the point of
guns demanded that the barkeeper
throw up his hands and come from
behind the bar and line up against
the front of the counter. Two or
three visitors in the barroom were
compelled to do the same thing,
when one of the men entered the
back room, where several gambling
games were in progress, and request
ed the players to throw up their
hands, go into the front part of the
saloon and line up with the others
at the bar.
Then while one of the bandits
held the victims down with his gun
the other one relieved the men Of
their valuables. In all, including the
contents of the cash register and the
money on the tables, about $500 was
secured. Part Of this consisted OF
jewelry.
One of the victims, who wore a
valuable diamond ring, saved the ar
ticle by dropping it in spittoon
which set on the floor conveniently
by.
The bandits worked in quiet
mehodical manner, and after mailing
everything in sight, made their exit
through the door and disappeared
down the alley. The officers were
Immediately notified and inaugural

poets, but nothing was found on

Carson May Have
a Normal School

In several counties of the state
normal schools have been established
and the graduates are making good
as teachers in the public schools of
the state.
Ormsby county should have such
a school and Superintendent Bray is
very hopeful that it will have, begin
ming with the coming school year.
1t is necessary that at least five
students signify their desire to take
the course and that the county fur
nish room suitable for the purpose.
The state meets the expense of
teacher, and this is not taken from
the school fund, so that the per cap
ita per child in the public school re-
mains the same whether there is
normal class or not
The county normal course is one
school year in length and grammar
school studies are taken up and re-
viewed under a competent teacher
and the students are taught how to
teach them to their prospective
pupils.
The normal course at the univer-
sity covers two years and at its COM
pletion students are given five
years certificate, enabling them to
teach in the Nevada public schools
that length of time without taking
an examination. The county normal
course covers one year and the grad
uate receives a three years certifi-
cate.
Professor Bray is taking the mat
ter up with President Hendricks of
| the university and hopes to arrange
matters so that after teaching three
years a graduate of the county nor
NAL can take year at the university
and have the county course count
for one year on the university nor
NAL course. Whether this can be
accomplished or not, the county
normal fills long felt need in this
state. 1t enables young people de-
sirous of becoming teachers to re-
ceive normal training at a minimum
expense.
