The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1918-07-25

When the civil war broke out in 1861
there marched away from Rich
mond, Va, a company of young men
who cast their fortunes with the
North. AS they left the capital of
the C~onfederacy, a young belle in erin
olines bestowed upon each of them a
bouquet of camellias. The blossoms
of the shrub were given as a sort of
good luck token and each soldier was
cautioned not to part with the flowers
but to keep them always about their
person. The girl was known there as
the Lady of the Camellias."
Years later, when the North and the
South united in the fight against Span
fish misrule in Cuba, the daughter of
the first LADY of the Camellias'' gave
to each soldier who left Richmond a
bouquet of the flowers for good luck.
Today, from the same old-fash-
toned camellia garden, the third repre-
sentative of the family, Hepzibah f.
Kendrick is bestowing sprays of the
camellia to the soldiers from her ma
tive city, with the same good luck"
wish. The present Lady of the
Camellias' also presents a copy of her
American 5attlecry set to the tune of
"Dixie."

CHEER As U. S. engine
DRAWS French TRAIN
Whistle of Locomotive Sounds
Like "Home, Sweet Home"
to American Fighters.

One Of the things that gets deeply
into a doughboy's blood is the whistle
of a good. old American locomotive in
France, and the clang Of its bell.
1t sounds like home. The American
locomotives are big, husky ones, max
ing the French engines look like toys.
When the first American locomotives
arrived in France, the natives were as
tonished at the deep-toned bells and
whistles. French locomotives have a
'tooter" on them resembling IN en-
larged peanut-wagon whistle, say the
doughboys, and there is no bell at all.
The Americans contend that the shrill
French whistle is too screechy and
effeminate.
A truckload of doughboys was bounc-
ing over the road near a wood, from
which a railroad emerged, In the vicin-
fly Of Verdun. Suddenly there came a
deep-toned blast of a locomotive from
the woods, followed by the painting
chug that reminded you of a train 60
ing over the Rockies.
sounds like an American locomo-
tive, surer than thunder !" shouted one
of the doughboys; you could tell that
noise a mile away. Let's stop until 1t
comes out of the wood"
"We're liable to get shelled here"
said the truck driver, "but If you fell
lows are game, l am. I'd take a chance
on shells any day to see a Baldwin To-
connective go by with a good old Ameri-
can puff and chug and whistle"
The group insisted on stopping, and
the locomotive, hauling a host of tiny
French freight cars, came putting out
of the wood. The doughboys broke out
into cheers, and more doughboys run
ming the engine replied with a full
steam ~resounding whistle that echoed
clear into Germany.
Il a die happy nowi" said one of
the doughboys, as the truck moved on
toward the front, after the husky
American locomotive had been watched
out of sight.

entire stocks for the use of the gov

to use no more until the present need
has passed. No more wheat flour will

She managed to pull Blue down to
stiff-legged jumps and then to walk.
Finally she stopped him, so that she
could the better take in her surround
ings and the possibilities of getting
down.
Blue had caught sight of the moving
specks far down next the river and up
the stream half mile or more. He
was cow-horse to the bone. BE knew
those far-of specks for cattle, and he
knew that his lady would like a closer
look at them.
Blue chose his trail and crumpled
at the knees with his hoofs on the very
edge of the ledge; went down with a
cat-jump and landed with all four feet
planted close together. He had no
mind to go on sliding in spite of him
self, and the bluff was certainly steep
enough to excuse bungle.
1t was with distinct air of triumph
that Blue reached the bottom, even
though he slid the last forty feet on
his launches and landed belly-deep in
a soft snowbank. It was with triumph
to match his perky ears that Billy Lou

Blue scrambled out of the bank to
firm footing on the ripened grass of
the bottom, and with a toss of his head
set off in swinging lope, swerving
now and then to avoid badger hole
or a hfif-sunken rock. They had done
something new, those two; they had
reached = place where neither had ever
been before. and Blue acted as If he
knew it and gloried in the escapade
quite as much as did his lady.
The cattle spied them and went trot-
ting away up the river. and Blue quick

after. Chilly Louise left the reins upon
his neck. Blue could handle cattle
alone quite as skillfully as with a
rider, If he chose.
The cattle began to sWerve away

Shin Of the Desert.

Because of it's peculiar swaying mo-
ton In walking, the camel has been
called the "ship of the desert" This
title may also have some reference to
the extreme stupidity and passivlty Of
the animal, says Popular Science
Monthly, which submits to great
loads, which it viii often carry for
days at a time without stopping for
food or drink, with no more urging
than a ship would require from the
hands of it's pilot.
The manner in which the driyers
hobble the camels when they stop for
rest is interesting. They do not de-
pend upon stakes driven In the deep,
yielding sand. but simply double back
and tie one end Of the forelegs of the
animal. so that 1t can lie down or rise
up, but cannot move from the spot
