Nevada is presenting the world with
another poet. George W. Lindsey,
who was formerly a resident of this
place, but who is at present conductor
on a freighting outfit between Man
haitian and Tonopah, has broken forth
in song, as witness the following in
SEPARATION from a recent issue OF the
Austin Reveille:

Let my name be spoken and honored
with the brave.
Just wrap me in the colors-the red,

And lay me with my comrades, the
good, the brave. the true.
Be II trench or on the hillside, just lay
me down to rest,
But wrap me in the colors of the
land that love best.
Let me die a soldier that Liberty may
livei
Just mark above my resting place:
That's all he had to give"
When muster's called and I'm moi
there to answer to the CALL

Sending a Canary to College

-rHE canary who lives 'in socie-
1 ty' is likely to share In the
Iuxuries and to participate in
the fads that belong to his sphere.
Recent appearances in New York
and other cities seem to indicate
that the town" bird leads as rapid
and advanced a life as his human as
sociates. The elaborated life Of the
canary has been called sending him
to college"
First and foremost, the town bird
doesn't live in any oldfashioned
cage The cage must look like gold,
whether it is or not. At the top must
be a ribbon bow that is changed
every day. And the bars and swings
are specially designed to bring about
the canarys development.
On a runway extending from the
cage door there is a miniature auto
mobile, attached to string. The
trained bird goes to the door, takes
the string to the automobile and
slowly pulls up the automobile, stand
ing the while on one foot. The pur-
pose of this procedure is to get bird
seed, with which the machine is
filled.
II the automobile has not been
filled his birdship rings the tiny bell
attached TO his cage to call atten-
ton of his mistress to the oversight.

poor lawyer who married the daugh-
ter on an oil king named Payne, but
when he had money he knew how to
spend it. He bought for Gertrude,
as a wedding present, some of the
finest rubies (the most valuable OF
all precious stones) in the world. Her
own father gave her collar, neck
lace. tiara and other ornaments OF
diamonds valued at over half a mill
ion.
Why bother about the high cost OF
living when diamonds are so plenti-
full? One day, only few years ago,
Alfred Belt. who was at that time
the head of the great South African
diamond-producing syndicate, turned
up in New York, and, being much at
tracted by certain charming woman
Of social prominence there, insisted
On bestowing upon her, as gifts, a
number Of huge diamonds. She has
them now-the biggest, as a collec-
ton, in the metropolis.
Not long ago Judge Gary, head of
the Steel Trust, returning from one
Of his annual trips to Europe, was
asked by a customs officer on his ar
rival whether he had anything dutia-
BILE to declare. In response, he drew
from his pocket two enormous pearls,
for which, he said, he had paid
$4,000. They were meant for con-

heavily insured, by registered mail.
The postoffice turns them over to the
customs appraiser and they are ex-
amined by an official expert to de
termine their value and the duty TO
be paid on them.
The biggest diamonds in the world
are said to be the property of the
British crown. If the British gov
eminent were to decide to sell them
to get money for war purposes, they
would find ready purchasers in the
United States.

for which the judge afterward bought
three more pearls, at Fifth avenue
shop, for $4,000. Just how much
that necklace cost him, when made
complete, nobody knows.

What has been called the Diamond
Age began in 1898, when over SIS
100000 worth of the stones were i'm
ported-less than half the importa-
ton of 1916. be it noticed. Diamonds
may fairly be regarded as the ulti-
mate expression of luxury. Although
the available supply has been vastly
augmented in the last 25 years,
thanks to the extraordinary output
of the South African mines, the price
has doubled in that period, owing to
the fact that the market is absolute
~ controlled by British syndicate.
In order to get any diamonds,
American dealers are Obliged TO ap-
ply to the syndicate many months
in advance and they must take what
is sent them, at the syndicate's own
price. 1t is, perhaps, the most extra
ordinary monopoly in the world.

ana wife of multi-millionaire, can
dress herself in gems any time she
likes. but her most priced jewel is
the celebrated Hope blue diamond.
LOT which she is said to have paid
$4,000. 1t is of a brilliant sapphire
color.
The Hope Diamond.
This diamond was bought In India
in 1912 by Tavernier, the celebrated
traveller and gem collector. He sold
it, in 1868. to King Louis XIV. Of
France. During the French revolu-
ton it was stolen and, to disguise
the stone, it was recut in Amster
dam. being thereby reduced from 81
to A carats. 1t was purchased by an
Englishman, Henry Thomas Hope,
from whom it descended to Lord
Francis Hope CORNER husband Of
May Yohe, the opera singer, who
sold it to Mrs. Mclean.
Mrs. John R. Drexel is said to be
one of the most elaborately diamond
decorated of the wives of multi-mill-
ionaires, when she appears in public.
Her tiara is of diamonds and pearls,
and series of ropes of great pearls
are suspended at intervals OF two

Many owners of canary birds en-
ploy expert trainers to educate their
pets. Others, folks who have more
time and patience, do the work of
training themselves. Tutoring high
class canaries has come into its own
as regular business and many per
sons are now living on the incomes
of such "professorships."

The "Culinan,'

Ever Found, as It Appeared

Nineteen Ounces.

Is that such imports are a sort of in
dex of national prosperity.
Mere millionaires nowadays are al
most poor folks. Only multi" can
cut any sort of a dash; and one of
his obligations, if he has any social
ambition, is to buy for his, wife
diamond tiara, a necklace of dia-
monds and other ornaments to
match. A few stones will not suffice;
she must blaze with them.
The word "blaze" Is not too strong.
&C TO the opera any of these nights,
in New York, and take a look over
the "bathtub" boxes appropriate
word!-in the so-called diamond
horseshoe" Many of the women
seem literally to be clad in diamonds,
wearing little else above the waist.
1t is nothing uncommon for fash
ionable New York matron to wear
100000 or 100000 worth of dia-
monds with an evening costume. In
deed, the value represented may be
twice that much. A "plastron" of
the gems, perhaps, covers the whole
front of her waist. 1t is supplement-
ed with girdle of the same precious
stones and with ropes of them about
her neck and bare shoulders. On her
head is an "all-around tiara" which
is in effect a crown such as a queen
might wear.
A S25o,ooo Crown.
The crown worn by Mrs. Perry Bel
mont Is four inches high and valued
at $250,000. 1t Is a solid mass of dia-
monds, the smallest of them 21a
carats. and the upper part of the
structure terminates in "a points,
each tipped with huge pearl. With
it Mrs. Belmont usually wears a
broad collar of diamonds.
The Duchess of Marlborough, who
spends a great deal of her time in
this country, is. as everybody knows,
a daughter of the elder William X.
Vanderbilt. Her father gave her, as
a wedding present, a rope OF dia-
monds that is said to be the most

valuable in the world. It is reported
to have cost half a million dollars,

matched, having been picked up"
here and there ali over Europe. An
other possession of hers, rather curl
Gus in its way. is a cap of uncut dia-
monds, tied under the chin with a
diamond string.
There is no woman in New York
who is said to own more wonderful
diamonds than those OF young Mrs.
Vincent Astor. Her husbands grand
mother, Mrs. William Astor, who so
long ruled metropolitan society, left
them to her son, John Jacob, who
persisted in the Titanic disaster, and
from whom they passed to his son

enough to reach from the neck of the
wearer to the hem of her skirt, and
a corselet of diamonds that was for
merly the property of Marie Louise,
the second wife of the first Napoleon
and the mother of L'Aiglon.
Like a number of other very rich
New York people, Mrs. Aston en-
ployed agents abroad to pick up
things of exceptional value in the
way of jewels, and in this manner
she acquired, for $4,000, the famous
Sancy diamond, which Charles the
Bold wore in his cap when he was
killed on the field Of battle. This
gem is now the property of the wife
of young Waldorf Aston, her grand
nephew, to whom she gave it. He is
the son of William Waldorf Aston.
the American millionaire expatriate
recently made an English baron, and
is now serving at the front in France.
The Famous Sancy.
The Sancy diamond, of SO Y carats,
was found by soldier on the battle
field and sold by him to priest for
florin-40 cents. 1t was bought, in
1879, by the King of Portugal, who
sold it to the Baron de Sancy. He
sent it as a gift to his sovereign,
Henri Ill, but the messenger, beset
on the journey by robbers. swallowed
it. His body was cut open and the
stone was recovered. Later it be-
came the property of Louis XIV. of
France. 1t was lost in the plumber
of the Tuileries during the revolu-
ton, but turned up again.
The war will inevitably bring to
this country, for sale, a great many
of the historic gems of Europe. Such
stones find ready market on this
side of the water, American multi
millionaires always being eager to
buy them. When the French crown
jewels were sold, 80 years ago, most
Of them came to this country, some
of the most desirable of them being

Mrs. Astor's father, Barton Willing,
of Philadelphia, was great collec-
tor of jewels. When he died, few
years ago, he bequeathed to his son,
Barton Willing, as family heirlooms,
necklaces and other articles of the
kind that once belonged to Margaret
of Navarro and Ferdinand VII. of
Spain. The jewels of Queen Isabella
of Spain, by the way. are now mostly
owned by New York women.
The finest sapphires in this coun-

married Peter Goelet Gerry, recently
elected United States senator from
Rhode Island. The young Mrs.
Gerry is herself the possessor of
