The following extract is taken from an issue of The Nevada News of April 30, 1908, and was published un- der the head About People About Town"
 "We don't want to accuse Levi Moore of being a nature fakir, be- cause we have not seen him to verify the following incident for which he is said to be responsible, and it is both wonderful and shocking if true. It seems that some farmer living in the distant confines of Nevada county had pig that was born with a small round bunch (of hair) on the end of his tail and as the pig grew in size and got to wallowing in the mud. the mud began to accumulate on the en- larged portion of his tail until the size and weight was astonishing.

ORPHANS DELIGHTED
WITH MOVIE OUTING

The children of the Wernle Home
went to the movies Tuesday. They
cannot go every day nor even every
week so they made best use of their
time in the theatre.
Seven cars driven by George Cutter.
George Deuker. Fred Hackman. Rich.
ard Kemper, George Kemper, J., R.
Praetorius and Mr. Specht, superin.
tendent of the home and a car from
the Chenoweth company were sent out
to bring the children.
Inc children were not boisterous.
Dut 1t was apparent from their faces
that their anticipation was none the
less Keen. Even the ride itself was a.
picnic, and the temporary crowding
tthere were nine in one car, besides
the drlver) was only an excuse for
more laughter
Enjoy Comedy.
The Murrette, with a Mack Sennett
comedy and Fontaine Fox cartoon
comedy, had been chosen by Specht,
superintendent of the Home, for the
children's attendance. SittinR on the
edge of the seats, and bobbing up now
and then when some particularly ex-
citing passage caused them to forget
their good behavior, their attention
would have been a flattering testi-
monial to the film producers, if they
could have observed it.
Adventures of the comedians caused
exciting moments for the audience. At
another point, when the gallant but
incautious employer of the powerful
katrinka tried to help her down from
a box and she fell on him, there was
an "Oh-h-s!" of horror and one little
girl sprang to her feet with wide eyes
and open mouth, but there was sigh
of relief and ripple of laughter when
Katrinkas victim was seen to be still
intact, though damaged.
Patrons Watch.
The longer comedy did not offer so
many points in common with its I'M
usual audience. but they were not
critical and the old slapstick and COM
edy chase devices brought many a
laugh. There was one particularly
thrilling scene, full of delicious horror
for the girls and of excitement for the
boys. This was furnished by the
hero's frantic attempts to keep out OF
a lions den and his adventures when
he finally fell in. 1t was somewhat
disappointing to the boys, however. He
escaped unframed.
Several of those who had donated
tickets to the home slipped in to see
the children during the show and
found more enjoyment watching them
than the show. thus getting liberal
return on the small investment in
their donations.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young
girl; am pretty and a good dancer,
and rather popular, but there is one
thing that worries me. and that is
what to talk about SO as to make
my company enjoyable. When I have
dates with the boys I can always find
somethig to talk about. but am afraid
sometimes I bore my boy friends.
go with boys about eighteen and nine
teen years old, and of course at that
age they are not interested in dry SUBJ
jects. The average twentieth century
boy wants a girl to be lively and
CHEEKY. OF course l don't mean to
talk continuously, but I want to know
some things that will hold their at
tention. -.-- ..--...
I go with the very incest society in
town. Can you advise me on this.
IN DOUBT.
A person who is interested in her
subject is usually able to hold the
interest of others. Of course there

are some people who are entirely alb
sorbed in subject, but they are ex-
tremely tiresome because they talk
about one thing too long. Read and
observe and talk about the thing most
suitable at the time and you will get
along all right.
Naturally it is impossible for me to
plan conversations for people.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am nine
teen years old. l have been going
steady with young man for over a
year. We would have been engaged,
and even married. but there is rea-
son that prevented.
He is of another creed. We love
each other very dearly. He says he
couldn't give up his religion, and so
what am l to do? He has asked me
to turn to his faith, and 1 have told
him I would. l know l will have
good husband and home of my very
own. He is quite wealthy. but l love
him for himself alone, not for the
wealth that he may own. If I do his
am / doing wrong? My parents are
both dead. Do you think l will be
happy if I turn to his faith? Any
advice from you will be very much
appreciated. VERY ANXIOUS.
Your problem is one which can not
be quickly worked out Since you love
the man so much. and do not feel re-
ligious fervor binding you to your
own religion, I would advise you to
look into the religion of your fiance.
If you find that his faith is something
which appeals to you and to which
you are willing to devote your life and
give your children, then it would be
all right for you to join the church
and marry him.
On the other hand, it seems to me
that religion should be greater force
in life than love. A person should not
forsake his church unless he finds
that he can more deeply believe the
creeds or teachings of another church.
