Last night they passed the hat in
the barber shop to buy groceries for
Hank Garri ison's kids. Old Hank
himself is fat on his honest old back
and it's new car to Wheeibarrow

Garrison kids would have gone hum

How come Hank is so poor" some
one asked. He never missed a days
work in his life and never spent a
battle of Bull Run. He never drank
md he smoked ragweed and wore
patched clothes. About the only fun
he's ever had is in getting shaved on
Sunday and listening to the preacher

1t was sort of hard to figure out al

| Their first wives-those that are lef'

Hank did everything these men did
and usually did it better. and was al
ways trusted like the First Nationa
Bank. But he's dying a pauper.
Poor old Hank" some one said

That seems to be the size of it. He't

from bed of delirium. There in
front of him. a little to the left, was
the broad empty street amongst
whose shadows she had disappeared.
On one side was the park, and there
was obscurity indefinable. mysterious:

curving line Of gas lamps. Beyond.

the glow Of the sleepy city. Shelter

dripping trees Of the park the birds
were beginning to make their morn

night was passing away. the clouds
were tightening, the stars were grow

days to come Ioomed out from the

THE HORROR OF THE HANSON

Wrayson sat up with a sudden and
violent start. His pipe had fallen on

gray ash upon his waistcoat and
trousers. TIE electric lights were still
burning, but of the fire nothing re-
manned but a pile of ashes. As soon
as he could he said to be conscious
Of anything he was conscious OF two
things-one was that he was shiver-

The Old Gardener Says:

Garden makers often plan to
SOW seeds just before rain. but
that is mistake. for if the sun
comes out bright and hot soon
afterward the soil will be baked
so hard that the seedlings will
find it hard to get through. 1t
is much better to work over the
garden as soon as it is dry
enough after rain and put the
seeds in then. There will be
plenty of moisture to insure
prompt termination and many
weed seeds will have been de-
Stroyed. Remember that the
finer your soil the quicker and
more satisfactory will be the
termination of the seeds.

LOWER REINHART RANCH
SOLD TO MAN FROM IDAHO

Another real estate transfer which
is of interest to old-timers here is the

Hirzel of Lewiston, Idaho. is the pur-
chaser. With his family. Mr.. Hirzel
has resided here for the past three
months.
This ranch as been owned by the
Remnants since 1910 and half interest
has been owned by the company since
1896, the property previous to that
time being owned by Stauffer and
Sweetzer.
The fact that Hirzel will be a valu-
able asset to this community is proven
by the fact that he is not interested
in this one project alone. Since he
has been here he has made sub
stantial investment with the Silver
State Chemical Company as well.

HAPPINESS FOUND IN WORK
Testimony Of chauncey Depew Is IN
dorsed by Another Prominent
American Veteran.

What Is the secret of usefulness
above sixty? Let me quote my friend
Chauncey Depew. who says: i look
back over sixty years of continuous ef-
fort and when try TO differentiate the
causes of my health and happiness !
always come back to work. never
vet knew an idle man who was
happy man." Ii is his reply 10 those
who think the millennium will come
when nobody will have TO work more
than two hours In twentyfour. On his
seventy-ninth birthday he said: with
each recurrence of these anniversaries
| am more impressed with the perma-
hence of friendship" That Is the I'M
preston of all who have moved into
the later years. We may not see our
friends daily but the knowledge that
they are in the flesh and In the spirit
is wonderful help and satisfaction.
In the currency of friendship giving Is

SALARY ours FOR
COUNTY OFFICERS

Gloom was evident In the court
house yesterday when a copy of the
bill fixing officials salaries in Hum
beldt county was received, with nota-
tons of amendments made before il
passed the assembly. 1t now goes tc
the senate for action.
The bill as amended leaves the
sheriff's salary at $4,000 a year. but
provides his deputy shall receive not
more than $500. The deputy has
been receiving $500. 1t also provides
for additional deputies at IS, to be
hired with sanction of the county
commissioners.
The bill would set the recorders
pay at $4,000 year, but out of this
he must pay his deputy hire. He has
been getting s2400 a year and his
deputy has been paid separately by
the county, bringing the salary ex-
pense of the office up to about $4,000
year.
The county clerk has been getting
5000 a year, his deputy being paid
separately by the county. The bill
would fix his pay at $4,000, out of
which he would pay his own deputy.
A clause inserted provides that all
fees received by the county clerk
shall be paid into the county treasury
The county treasurer has been re-
ceiving $4,000 year, but the bill
would provide $500 a year, out of
which a deputy must be paid, when
one is hired.
The assessor is to get $4,000 If the
bill passes, instead of $4,000 now re-
ceived. In this case, however. depu-
ties are to be paid by the county at
SIS day and the assessor is to be
paid actual travelling expenses while
out of the city.
The district attorney would be cut
$50 a month, for he now receives
$4,000 year and the bill provides pay
of $4,000. He employees no deputy.
All of the county commissioners
are cut down to 1920 per year each.
The local commissioner has been get
ting $1,000 year and the two outside
received 5000. The outside commits
sioners will receive twenty cents per
mile as travelling expenses.
The court house janitor would re-
ceive $3.50 a month under the bill. He

were in the small school house.

1t is said against the new salary

performed if deputies are not hired !;
that when it comes to comparing

One offered is that they pool together
