Moran is a strong advocate of (o0X-

He contends that every y'oung man

for the purpose of enabling him to

do him physically. The professional

THE HORROR OF TRENCH LIFE

Three weeks in the trenches! l wonder if you at home in America have any but the haziest notion of what that means. I wonder if you, MT. Lawyer; you MT. Doctor; you, Mir. Business Man, can conceive of spending your summer vacation in a ditch four feet wide and eight feet deep, sometimes with mud and water to your knees, sometimes faint from heat and lack of air, in your nostrils the stench of bodies long months dead, rotting amid the wire entangle- ments a few yards in front of you, and over your head steel death whln- ing hungrily, ceaselessly. wonder if you can imagine what it must be like to sleep-when the roar of the guns dies down sufficiently to make sleep possible-on foul straw in hole holowed in the earth, into which you have to crawl on all fours, like an animal into it's lair.-From "On the British Battle Line" by F..

afternoon, came as a surprise and
shock to the friends who had known
her SO many years and keenly appre-
ciated her many sterling qualities.
Previous 70 the sickness which at
tackled Mrs. Sprague only a few days
ago she had enjoyed fairly good
helath and the news of her death
was therefore all the more poignant.
Mrs. Sprague was a native OF In

In the year 1860, with her husband,
she came to Nevada and this COM
monwealth has been her home ever
since. Her husband died a number
OF years ago.
She left a large family, among
them some of the best known people
OF Nevada, and to them the sympathy
OF a large circle of friends is extend
ed. Her closest relatives consisted
OF Mrs. Margaret Furlong and Mrs.
Martha Meder, daughters, and two
sons, Late and Roy Spraale. The
latter arrived from Aurora last even
ing, where he is engaged in business.
He was that his mdther
was very sick, and instead of being
greeted with the mothers embrace
which was his customary welcome,
he was told the sad story Of her
death.
The funeral of Mrs, Sprague will
be held tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock from the family residence,
Rev. H. H. McCreery officiating.
