BOY FALLS FROM
COURT HOUSE ROOF

A man can use a knife to convey
food to his mouth in Goldfeld and
he does not attract much attention,
but if he were to perform that way
in the Ritz he would attract a lot
of attention, says the Tribune.
Steve Brodie jumped off the
Brooklyn bridge and became famous,
but many western miner has
fallen into a shaft much father. than
Steve jumped off the bridge and
has lived, but the miners only re-
ceived few "sticks" of type.
Therefore, it is where you per-
form-where you fall from or
where you jump from, and not how
far you do either that brings fame.
1t is the conspicuousness of the
place from which you start that
counts.
Buddy Kin, prominent member
of the younger set, fell from the
roof OF that well known citadel
from which the mule-decorated ban
ner of democracy fguratively waves.
After his fall he arose and ran
home.s The court house is as well
known to Goldfeld as Brooklyn
bridge is to the nation and there
fore, as Steve Brodie achieved ma
tional fame, so shall Buddy be
hailed locally.
Buddy, Bill Porter and few
others of their gang decided about
8 o'clock in the evening to go on
hunt for pigeons, which roost
along under the roof Of the court
house. Buddy and Bill took off
their shoes in preparation for the
climb up the drain pipe at the rear
of the building. Bill made the roof
all right, and Buddy followed, but
just as Buddy was about to climb
over the top stones to the roof he
fell, dropping a distance estimated
at 45 feet, landing on his side on
the hard ground.
Boys who were. present said Buddy
was so badly shaken up that his
mind wandered, but he rolled over
on his back and finally sat up and
asked for a drink of water. His
pals offered suggestions as to what
should be done, but Buddy de-
cided the place for him was home
and there he went, escorted by the
amazed members of the gang. He
walked or ran all the way home.
His chin was cut and scraped, but
he offered no complaint until little
later, when he said his back hurt.
Hereafter when the gang gathers
and exploits good and bad are
pointed to as acts of boyish heroism,
Buddy can tell of the time he fell
from the court house, and then
there will be lot of silence from
the other members.

R0ADMEN ALL TO
PUT HANDLE. ON
THEIR NAMES

Roadmen are generally looking
forward to the day when they will
be called prof. ssor " II has al
ways been the general view that
the p. ,,ion oil a railrcal employe
was enc that nut all could fill, and
even in some quarters the express
sion ass been heard that o railroad
man was me of the 'arls. y. "a v Of
labor This has be,r variously
disputed, but now tina. col.eg. pro-
-fes.ors are seeking positions in the
railroad service and are actually
running on the Salt Lake division.
ras caused some more speculation
a. TO the standing of the railroad
man.
Professor, and he is entitled to
the appelation by reason of IL years
service in schools and colleges, w.
b. Hilbish, Of the Nevada State
University, is now a full-fledged
brakeman and expects, by diligent
application to some day become a
conductor. He has just completed
a successful term in the Nevada
State University, where he was in
structor in Biology and Physical
Education.
Just how biology and braking will
combine is a matter of interest and
road men as well as professors are
watching with interest the results.
Some OF the road men claim that il
the Professor works hard enough he
can hold down the promotion that
he has received. Others claim that
biological mind was never meant
to solve the difficulties that arise
when a train breaks in two.
And still, on inquiry, we find
many others who are more inter
ested in the linguistic phases of
the transition from one job to the
other and they are waiting hopefully
when the Professor demonstrates his
abilities when he is called upon to
chain up the third car behind the
engine and pack the chains from
the caboose at the end of 7O-car
drag. They claim that biology will
not assist him then, but that physi-
cal education might stand in good
stead.
Still others are of the opinion
that Hilbish will make it in a walk.
but they think that foreign langu-
age professors should stick to col
lege because they might be mis-
understood by some hot-tempered
brakeman when the start to discuss
the situation in some dead" langu-
age.
But when all Of the theories have
been advanced the fact remains that
Professor Hilbish is now a brake
man, and that he is a full-fedged
shack" and other brakemen are
seriously considering appending the
title to their ordinary names.
So, II the people of this city
want to be real proper, they will
address the trainmen, as "Profes-
sor" in the future.-Sparks Tribune.

Chickens Good Mou,sr,.

An Ontario reader of the Toronto
Globe says that a villager near his
place had some six-months-old Ply.
mouth rock pullets which were excel.
lent mouse catchers. Last fall while
husking corn, mouse ran from the
corn stock. It was soon overtaken by
one Of the pullets which killed and de-
voured 1t. This was only one of the
many mice caught by the same pullet
during the husking season.

MISTAKES THAT SOMETIME
APPEAR IN NEWS STORIES

Some comical mistakes are occas-
ionally passed up" by editors,
proofreaders, copyholders and print
ers, and when they are the caustic
comment that is turned loose would
make the ears of the most hard
boiled denizen of Gehenna hang
his head and blush for shame. !.
In a Texas paper recently, "calo-
mel" had been passed up for "cara
mel" In Scranton, Pa, where they
have prizefghters for copyholders,
the proofreader passed u, ''hous
for horses" Another mistake that
evoked comment, comic ana causli.,
was the linotype operator, in setting
up the Lords prayer, made the
articles read "Holy Goose" for
holy Ghost"
Stock stories of typographical err
rors such as turning "a cargo of
oats" into "a cargo of .cats," and
the calling of a. prominent lady's
swell dinner party" "swill party"
sink into insignificance at some of
the mistakes that were passed up
on a church paper in Tronto, Ont,
not long ago. For example, highly
bred men," An "acrostic by eight
little girls" was made an "agnostic."
Where it should have read "the
weather man was not in happy
mood" it went through "the washer
man." deep piety" was turned
into dry party" The ''Niceme
creed" read in the paper "Nicene
Breed" A departed sister had ZEN
dured physical suffering with prais-
worthy fortitude," but is appeared
as Trustworthy solitude"

Many Products Of Wood.

As dependent as were our ancestors
on wood. little did they dream Of the
possible products to be derived from
that substance. The field that the
chemist Is developing In wood deriva.
tives Is indeed vast. When the com.
mercIal processes have been generally
established. little wood waste may be-
come the rule and the total value Of
a crop Of wood per acre will become
far greater.-W. J. Morrill,, State For.
ester. Colorado Agricultural College.

STEALING SHEEP IS
NOT ACT or MERCY

In the justice court a case Of
wrongful possession Of sheep was
tried before Judge Mcdonald and
the offenders received severe repri-
mand.
John H. Eager, general manager
for the Adams-McGill company, de-
clared that the practice Of taking
lambs and sheep belonging to The
company was developing into . busi-
ness that was costing the company
thousands Of dollars and that the
excuse of taking such property and
claiming that it was lost or the
person SO doing was performing an
act OF mercy was working . hard
ship on the sheep men.
Judge Mcdonald is determined
that such violations of the law shall
be stopped and it is likely that
charges of this nature will be dealt
with severely.-Ely Times.

BURNS ARE FATAL
TO RENO PLUMBER

Covered with flaming gasoline as
burning oil stove exploded in the
kitchen of his home, 676 Ralston
street, Lester M. Piper, 65, a
plumber, died at the Reno hospital
from burns he received.
Members of the fire department
answered the call, heard the ex-
plosion when a block away and ar
rived to find Piper standing near
the rear door, his clothing burned
from his body above the waist and
remnants of his shirt-sleeves still
on fire.
Bystanders extinguished his clothes
with water from a hose, and a
few moments later again put out
his smouldering clothing.
Swaying back and forth in the
yard while his home burned, wit
nesses said that Piper made no
cutlery, although the upper part of
his body was burned to a crisp.
Firemen called frantically for on
lockers to bring oil for the mans
burns and to notify a physician, but
it was 20 minutes before he was
taken to a hospital, and then in
private car.
Wrapped in a sheet, Piper walked
to the automobile without assist
ance.
Piper was a resident of Nevada
for about 40 years, spending the
most of his time at Winnemucca,
Lovelock, and Reno. He is sur
vived by his wife. Bessie Piper,
four daughters, Mrs. E. N. Stedd of
Portland, Mrs. R. s. Critchley, Mrs.
A. L. Longfeld and Miss Margaret

four sisters.-Reno Journal.
