Those that pride themselves on maintaining
high standard OF conduct sometimes forget that,
though they may not themselves be what the world
calls sinners, they may nevertheless be the cause
OF sin in others. Great evil has resulted from the
attitude and the prccepts of moral superiority.
Those who make virtue unattractivc harm the
whole cause OF virtue Much of the shining in the
world may be laid at the door Of the righteous.
1t is conceivable that in certain kinds of right
cousness there is no real good Though it may
never be betrayed into sinful acts its pride is in
itself continued SHINING and incentive to sin.
There are people who carry some fearful temp
tatIon hidden in their natures. How it became

seems as if it must have been part of them even

beginnings. In some instances the victims them
selves can point to the very moment when thcv

IS inclined to turn a ccnsoriouS face perhaps to
shrink away. In many instances it Furnishes with

ong trial. He has been forced to give his moral
muscles tremendous exercise. They arc like mighty

EXTERM|NAT|NG THE
WILD HORSES

ELY. New, June 23.-Over 200 wild
horses have been shot and killed in
the White Pine country during the
past few days. the ranchers having
started campaign for the extermina-
tion of the last vestige of the rowing
bands. Since the first settlements,
wild horses have been a picturesque
feature of Nevada life, and they have
also been a great nuisance, owing to
their propensity to break into fields
and to entice domestic horses from
the ranges. The wild horses usually
roam in bands of from 40 to rs, con.
trolled by the most powerful stallion.
They are very wild, the most expert
Vaqueros seldom being able to capture
one uninjured. The European war
has created a brisk demand for the
hardy mustangs of the Nevada Califor-
MIA ranges, and recently, in the Gard
nerville section, a number of COWBOYS
organized an expedition to attempt the
capture and sale of some of the larg-
