a session of the diocesan conference
to the clergy's starvation pay" an
nounced to the CONSERVATION of many
that he had found 1t necessary to
put London House. one of his two
town residences, upon the market in
order that he might keep Fulham
Palace going.
The Lord Bishop promised that he
would make a supreme effort to main
tain Fulham Palace in full dignity
as his episcopal residence. inasmuch
as this ancient pile had been q historic
possession of the church for 100
years. But he could not be certain
even of this accomplishment in the
face of the high cost Of living.
To support his plea for an income
sufficient to maintain his estate as
his predecessors had done. the Bishop
of London placed before the confer
ence a frank excerpt from his yearly
balance sheet. Given in terms of
dollars il runs thus.

Never pass a brother member
without speaking to him. even II you
only say hello" IT might bring a
pang of sadness II you do not speak.
and even a word spoken very often
causes Joy to a person that will aid
very materially in bearing the bur-
dens OF life. We all have experienced
these hours OF depression, and we
know lust how a word spoken has
very often made us feel happy and
seems to tighten the load we may be
carrying along In life, and as It costs
nothing for us to be civil towards q
person, let us all remember to do as
we would have others do unto US.
It is easy enough to be steady and

Humorous kapses.

Not every commencement speaker
has said precisely what he wished to
say to the young people before him.
One was tripped by a most unhappy
lapsus linguae at a young ladies' semi
nary.
He meant to say: But !
have talked too long. and + do
not wish to speak to weary
benches" Instead OF which he said
"beery wenches." Thereby reminding
us Of Tutor Spooner OF Oxford. who
thus addressed a meeting of farmers :
1T Is gratifying to me to behold 50
many tons of SOIL"
But a university lecturer lately
matched these infelicities when he
said: I'm not going to talk very
long, but il you get what I'm going to
say In your heads you'll have the
whole thing In a nutshell"

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
Little Montana Town Of Willow Creek
Has Something of Which East
Cannot Boast.

Willow Greek is the ordinary name
of an ordinary small town in Montana.
Bear Creek, Roundup and Sioux Pass
have more of the Western flavor, but
Willow Greek is a typical little West
ern town In spite of its name. 1t Is
so In the midst of a vast tract of clean
prairie land that 1t cannot be measured
by the yard-wide rule of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keep
A paternal watch over 1t.
Even when the early morning mists
hide the mountains and prairies, VIII
low Greek stands out spunkily-a def
mite spot on the landscape. The sta
ton neal the railroad tracks is very
small, quite square and very red. Lux
uriant groves Of trees fill the spaces
between the pretty little white. frame
houses. A road that looks clean
swept shows to all corners a straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers In the
current of the little creek that runs
behind the white houses.
AS the train from the west stops a
few minutes at Willow Creek, In the
early dawn, a m~iddle-aged man swings
off and starts down the road at a good
pace. One would know him anywhere
for a mining man.
The metropolitan doing the transcon-
t~inental trip may smile at little Willow
Greek from his comfortable Pullman,
but there is m thing here of which
The great reaches Of space are some
thing unknown and bewildering to the
Eastern strap-hangee and clifr-dweller.
As the mining man swaggers down the
road toward his great outdoors, there
is something about him which spells
domain.

EARTHQUAKES AT ELKO THIS
WEEK STOPPED SNOW STORM

Elko was visited by another trem-

1870. The shock was quite severe,
shaking books from their shelves,
causing buildings to tremble, and CIV
ing the court house folks quite a
scare through the rocking of the pill
lars supporting the front of the build
ing. The shock lasted about four
seconds and was accompanied by the
