partly covered by insurance. The tele-
phone exchange. situated in the upper
story of this building, was totally de-
strOyed. II looked as if the stores of
Z. F. Thompson, G.. Y. Gillespie and
Brewer & Leigh would be burned al
so, but were saved by the strong fire
wall. The goods in al these stores

as Margaret was alone.


Margaret told him, and the conduc
ter stared at her, for the name she
told him was one of the owners o.
the road
Il guess / better go into the store
on the corner and telephone your pa
they will get worried about you"
oh, please don't do that" said Mar
garet, Il want to ride some more
when the people get on"
"All right" said the conductor good
naturally. Il will go over there and
buy you some peanuts; do you like
them?"
When he returned he had a bag of
peanuts and a big red apple Mar
garet thought she had never tasted
anything so good as that apple in all
her life.
She chatted with the conductor and
asked about his little girl. II suppose
she can ride on the street cars all she
likes" said Margaret. Il wish / was
your little girl
When the car started Margaret sat
in the corner and watched the people
set on and off. Her eyes were bright
with excitement and her cheeks red.
Every time the car stopped she
looked at the conductor, fearing he
would tell her she could not ride any
farther.
When they came to the business
part of the city the car stopped in
front of a waiting station, and the
conductor motioned to a tall gentle
man who boarded the car ooh, father,
father cried Margaret, when she saw
him. Come and sit down beside me.
and ride in the street car; it is such
fun"
i think you better get out of here"
he said; your mother is terribly
about you"
Margaret began to cry, and looked
at the conductor. you told a wrong
story" she said. "You did telephone.
and you said you wouldn't. and that |
could ride all l wanted to-"
We'll, we will ride a while if that
is the way you feel" said her father:
Il guess you have held up the car long
enough"
When her father sat beside her Mar
garet told him the nice man had given
her peanuts and an apple. And his
little girl can ride on the street cars
all she likes. Is he richer than you,
father?"
Her father and the conductor both
laughed, but Margaret was far too
happy to care, and when the car re-
turned again to the place where her
father came aboard Margaret was
willing to get off.
''Will YOU take me riding in your
car again." asked Margaret as the
said good-by
He told her he would, and Margaret
went away with smile on her face.

From her nunureus OF nigh school
students this commonwealth could
easily select and prepare sufficient
teachers for her needs and the ex-

that the money would be spent in

Nevada girl who wants to teach shall

MORE NEVADA GIRLS
FOR NEVADA SCHOOLS

In an address treating on general
educational features of our public
school system, George Francis James,
Phi. ID. Dean in education at the Uni
versity of Nevada, said. among other
things:
Nevada has done something but so
far not very much for the training
of her teachers. She spends accord
ing to State Superintendent Bray's
last printed report $4,000 annually
on the salaries Of public school teach
ers, who come in large part from 9TH
er states. Two hundred each year
come from outside, mostly for just a
year, and Nevada offers her children
to their inexperienced hands ebcause
she is training only one-fourth of the
new teachers she needs at the annual
opening of the schools. These young
women from our sister states are in
dustrious and conscientious workers
but they have no special knowledge

know that he is under good influence
and with clean bunch of boys. =
know that the games played at the
department teach him to think of the
other boy as we'll as himself The
swimming pool and gym help him to
| develop in the right way and the
things that you plan for the boys in
the summer keep him out in the open
air. This summer three sons of mine
will be in Rock Island and you may
be sure that they will all be mem
