BUDDY BUILDS A SAND HOUSE.
The little guinea pig children had 20
much fun bathing In the pond. whore
Percival, the circus dog. made the
salty waves for them, az told you
about in the previous story, that they
went In swimming IS many times %
their mamma would lot them.
Peroival was only too glad to make
the waves, and hold the bag Of salt In
the pond, to make 1t salty, Just like the
ocean. Sometimes the old dog would
jounce box up and down, to make the
waves, and again, when he wanted lar
ger ones, he would use barrel. Then
the waves of the pond would be over
the heads OF Buddy and Brightoyes,
and they had to cling to the ropes With
all their might.
One day Buddy was sitting in TIE
sand, on the banks Of the pond. when.
all at once, he had an idea
II know what I'm going to dols he
exclaimed. I'm going to build sand
house. wish Brighteyes was hero to
help me-" but his sister had gone In
the pen to help her mamma get dinner
ready, for Mrs, Pigs expected company
that day; Mr.. and Mrs. Bsnhyta1 we're
coming SO Buddy had to start to
build the house all alone. He piled q
lot of sand in heap. together with
stones. and sticks and bits Of duck
weed, and then he started In.
First he scooped out hollow place,
and that was for the cellar. Then he
stuck sticks up around the edges OF
the hole. and began to pile up the sand
to make the walls of the house. Just
as he was doing this, what should he
hear but footsteps running along the
sand He looked up and gave shout
Of delight.
"Hello, Billie and Johnnie Bushytail!
he cried, as he saw tho two little SOUR.
rel boys. You're just in time! Come
on and help me build this sand house. :
"Sure!" agreed Billie and Johnnie,
as they frisked their tails, Just as the
cook sometimes frisks the dusting
brush when she wants to knock the
crumbs from the table to the floor,
"Can you stay long?" asked Buddy. :.
AS long a. papa and mamma do

house now, and 80 is Sister Sallie

upright sticks and, pretty soon. believe
me, II It really didn't begin to look like
a real house. 1t was about as big 90 a
big box, and nearly as high; and the
cellar was quite large,
What will we do with the house
when we've finished it," asked Billie
Bushytail.
'We'll 20 in It and play we're rob

FAVOR OF LODGE

Oyster Bay, N. r.. June 1o.-Col.
Roosevelt, in telegram sent this
morning to the progressive conven-
ton at Chicago, suggested the name
Of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Of Mas
sachusetts as a compromise candidate
upon whom both progressive and re-
publicans could unite.
Col. Roosevelt said that at about
8 o'clock this morning he was notified
by the progressive conferees that they
had come to no conclusion with the
republican conferees and that the re-
publican conferees had again asked
for any suggestion of a name as a
candidate from the progressive con-
ferees.
He then wrote to the progressive
conferees stating that he deeply ap-
proved their loyalty to him and their
efforts to get him nominated, but that
he thought the time had come when
carrying out the spirit Of the,statement
Of the progressive national committee
by him in Trinidad in February. 1t was
CH0Ir Outy 10 present an alternative
name on which he hoped the republi-
cans and progressives could unite. He

Notice to the Voters OF Humboldt

Owing to the fact that there is a
false report in circulation regarding
the endorsement of several county
candidates, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, by the Socialists of Hum
boldt county, through what is term
ed the Non-Partisan Voters League,
and as such report is misleading, the
Socialist party takes this means of
informing the voters Of Humboldt
county. and all candidates for the
several offices in Humboldt county
that the Socialists of Winnemucca
and Humboldt county do not endorse
any candidate or candidates not be-
longing to the Socialist party, and
do not endorse any candidate or can.
didates not running on the Socialist
party ticket.
The meeting of the non-partisan
voters was not presided over. and
was not attended by any member
the Socialist party, as a Socialis
having any authority from the So
cialist party.
The Socialist party endorses only
one candidate on the county ticket
f. ID. Rogers of Sulphur, the Social
ist candidate for the Assembly from
Humboldt county.
The Socialists, recognizing the fact
that neither of the old parties have
anything in common with the Social
istic idea of advance and human pro-
gress, do not endorse any of the old
party candidates. Any report to the
contrary is false.

Secretary of Socialist Party of Win

WOMAN'S RALLY
WEDNESDAY night

One of the most interesting and
original minds, as well as one of the
most beautiful women, devoted to the
equal suffrage cause, is Inez Milhol-
land Boissevain. Her interest in the
cause dates from her student days at
Vassar, where she enrolled two
thirds of the girls under its banner
Soon after her graduation she or
ganized Vassar girls to take the
places of the enjoined pickets of the
striking shirtwaist makers, was ar
rested, and was a co-defendant with
Mrs. 0. p Fl. Belmont In an action
for damages brought under the Sher-
man act. Admitted to the New York
bar in 1912. she has made a speciality
of criminal law in the interest of the
poor. Her activities for social, eco
nomic, political ana legal reform
have made her well-known figure
on two continents. She is an orator
of great power, and especially de-
lights in an audience that attempts
to embarrass her by asking questions
by what is known in British poll
tics as "heckling." Invited to join
the Henry Ford peace ship, she was
refused passport by the State De-
partment on the ground that though
a native-born American of American
parents she had forfeited her citizen
ship by her marriage TO Eugene Bois-
sevain, a citizen of Holland. She
went, anyhow, and continues to prac-
tice law when a case of oppression
interests her, regardless of court
decision that she has no right to do
so because of her marriage with a
foreigner. OF independent fortune
and not yet 81 years of age, she is a
striking example of the American wo-
man devoted to progressive social
movements and absolutely fearless in
their advocacy.
Mrs. Boissevain will speak in Win
nemucca on the night of October 18,
at the Nixon opera house.

Miss Nina Roundtree was given a

Theckla Wright at the home of her
sister. Mrs. Carl Schmidt, dozen of
Miss Roundtree's nearest friends at

merry evening of it and the guest OF

from each friend. An amusing sur
prise was sprung when someone sat
down at the piano and started to play

tiny daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ross
Sellars, clad in an elaborate gown
and bridal veil.

CUPID DELAYED. BUT
FINALLY TRIUMPHANT

Loves young dream received a jolt
a few days ago when Cecil T. Earl
applied to County Clerk Davey for a
marriage license to wed Miss Rita
Bacher, for both parties were under
age, the girl being only sixteen. The
consent of the mothers of the couple
had been obtained by them, but the
proper affidavits were lacking and it
was necessary that witness appear
in person before the county clerk
and testify to having been present
when such consent was given.
The young couple had come from
Rochester to be married and were
greatly disappointed when compelled
to wait until affidavits were sent to
their mothers to be signed. One of
the mothers in the meantime had
gone to Reno. and she was asked to
hc,,y back so as tn not longer de ay
the wedding.
Yesterday afternoon Hilman l..
Earl, brother of the groom, arrived
flom Rochester. bringing the affida-
Wits signed by the mothers and ac-
knowledged before a notary, and

clerk Then thee brothr-in-law made
affidavit that he was present when
the mothers gave consent, whereupon
the license was issued The couple
lost no time in calling on Justice ].
T. Dunn, who tied the knot.
The law in this particular is very
strict, and for violation of its pro-
visions the county clerk is subject to
fine of $1,000. The facts in the case
were explained by Mr.. Davey, with
his regrets. "I have to be careful"
said he. for some days I don't have
that much money about me-"

POURS HOT SHOT
into DEMOCRACY

A. Grant Miller, Socialist candidate
for United States Senator, addressed
meeting of railroad men at Sparks
Thursday evening, when he paid his
compliments to Woodrow Wilson and
the Adamson eight-hour law in the
following words:
Speaking of the Adamson eight
hour bill: | am glad some of your
brotherhood boys think they have
won their demand. Let's see how they
stand? They submitted their case to
Woodrow Wilson. Well, that's very
nice, very nice. indeed. And they ex-
pect decision some time after cleo
tion, eh! So far. so good But in
reading the papers yesterday, / also
learned that Mr.. S. r. Lovett an
nounced that he is supporting Wood
row Wilson. Ahem, ugh, ugh! Now,
isn't that just little bit peculiar?
Say, boys, there's nothing to it. The
brotherhood submits its case to
Woodrow Wilson. Lovett submits his
case to the same court. Who do you
think will get the decision? AS an
attorney, | know what side l would
like to have. OF course. you may not
agree with me, but, think of it, boys,

til this afternoon. The matron of the
asylum was summoned from Reno,
arriving this morning for the pur-
pose of accompanying the unfortu-
nate woman to Reno upon commit

commitment would be made. Rev.

had been in the asylum once before
and had been in his home for a time
after being discharged.

PIOCHE. Oct. 14.-Republican can
didates travelled from Caliente to
Panaca and then on to this town,
where they addressed a large meet
ing presided over by II. T.. Freuden-
thai.
Sam Platt laid stress on the Pitt
man land bill. which the audience
heard discussed for the first time,
and many expressed themselves that
the bill was dangerous. although pre-
vious to the meeting they had favored
IT on general ground of helping the
schools.
The Democratic candidates have
responded to the SOS. call sent out
from Lincoln county by ordering a
change in their itinerary so that
they are doubling back on the trail
of the Republicans and determined
to follow them through to the finish.
The Pittman speakers arranged to
visit Las Vegas after doing Tonopah
and then return to the west. working
rapidly back into Washoe county with
the object of making a whirlwind
finish in Reno and surrounding coun-
try where the change of sentiment in
favor of the Republican ticket is re-
ported to have endangered the sweep
ing success anticipated by PittInan.

Another Democratic APipe- Dream

The Sparks Tribune Is authority
for a statement TO the effect that a
$4,000 sack has been turned over to
the Republican state central commit
tee by the national committee.
This story is absolutely false and
was published by the Tribune without
the slightest foundation in fact to
warrant the statement.
The Republican national committee
has not contributed a dollar to the
Nevada campaign and is not expected
TO do so. The only contributions the
committee has received so far have
come exclusively from Washoe coun-
ty and have been inadequate to pay
the legitimate expenses OF the cam
paign to date.
