Brilliant Young Court Reporter
Makes Money at Nome, but
Golden Days Pass.
SEATTLE, Dec. 13.—A brilliant
young girl won her way by ability
alone to a dazzling share of the
wealth that came so easily from the
Nome sands in the early days. She
traveled all over Europe and the
Orient, returned, with her fortune
spent, to make another, and found the
golden days of easy money gone for
ever.
That, is the brief history of Mrs.
Cornelia Noble, the former Nome
court reporter, warm friend of scores
of orilliant men of the North, and
now a suicide.
Divorced at 17, she came to Seat
tle in 1903, with beauty, ambition and
an education a* a stenographer. She
called on Judge Fenton, of Nome, and
stated her ambition to go North.
The judge advised her. that there
was money to be made there, and a
few' weeks later she sailed for the
gold camp on Seward Peninsula. Her
rise there was rapid. She Worked
in Judge Fenton’s office for some
time, and then opened offices of her
own in Nome. She became known as
the best court reporter in the North.

SPOKANE, WASH.. Dec. 13.—At least
two persons whose veracity goes un
questioned among their fellows have
brought to Spokane a story of a pet
blacktail deer which is a fiend for

mal w’hlch domiciles near Coolin, Idaho,
and his biographers and sponsors are
Leonard Paul, owner of a general mer
chandise store at that town, and Charles
Boon, a well-known Spokane hotel clerk.
Mr. Paul says the deer appears at his
store every day !n the year, except Sun
days, and makes himself a general nui
sance until given a chew of tobacco.
“The intelligent animal has come to
realize that the store is closed on Sun
day,’’ said Mr Paul, In Spokane to
day.

Channing Ellery, whose unique, or
ganization, known as the Ellery Band,
opened an engagement at the Audi
torium here on Friday night In the
presence of an audience in no way
commensurate with the exceptional
merits of his offering, was asked yes
terday to express his views on the
present condition of musical affairs
in the United States. He Haiti:
“The progress of musical taste and
appreciation In this country has by
no means advanced in proportion to
the increase of population and
wealth. So gigantic has been our ma
terial development during the past
quarter Af a century that, as it seems
to me, the people have lost their sense
of proportion and lost sight, too, of
the fact that progress, to be normal
and wholesome, must mingle the spir
itual with the material.
“Unless the abstract and the con
crete go ahead, hand in hand, the
development is but a halfway affair
and contains elements of positive
danger to the community. We are a
people wlto go to extremes in every
thing we do, and for the present
Money and Muscle are our gods.
Idealist at Disadvantage.
“A man who possesses ideals Is at
a tremendous disadvantage when he
tries to combat these conditions. Since
I embarked on my career as a band
proprietor fifteen years ago I have
had to face the problems presented
to m© by the - birth and furious ad
vance of the automobile mania, the
“vawdvir insanity, the moving pic
ture fever and other diseases too
numerous to mention.
“That I have been able to live and
keep my head above water is due to
the courage supplied me by a faith in
the ultimate triumph of a splendid
thing and a native determination not
to be conquered by adversity.
“The sufferings that I have under
gone and overcome seem but to have
improved the quality of our music,
which seem* to have absorbed a ca
pacity for the unlimited expression of
all human'emotions.
“There are many <*ities in this coun
try -and Atlanta is one of them —
which miport grand opera or sym
phony orchestras, or both, and think
therefore that their people must of
necessity be musical. But the sup
port given these great institutions
earned from the very few, from those
who really enjoy these phases the
musical art, and from th© great ma
jority, perhaps, who enter into these
enterprises because of an abundant
national or local pride -that urges
them to let tho world know that
America has the best there is in th *
form or opera or orchestra, and pays
the highest prices to satisfy her am
bition.
Too Exclusive.
“But the opera and the eyrrtphony
orchestra are exclusive propositions;
their outreach is limited to the nar
rowest radius; they are necessarily
exotics planted in a land where they
grow only as hothouse plants and
where their Influence as educational
factors are confined closely to the so
cially luxurious opera house or tho
highly dignified symphony halls.
“Meanwhile the vast general public,
whose souls may be, starv ing for
something to nourish them and lift
them up, ar© forced back Into a slough
of materialism and are doping their
hearts and brains with a debilitating
diet of cheap “vawdvir' and moving
pictures, entertainments that make
no appeal whatever to all that is beat
in a man, but simply end in emascu
lating all his finer sensibilities.
“I believe that good music, inspi
rationally interpreted, is the only
antidote for these conditions; it calls
into action the dormant functions of
the spirit that have been thrown into
a state of coma by the banalities on
which they have been fed.
Band Inspires People.
“My own band, where it has had
the good fortune to stay for any
length of time, and has been
directed by JVIr. Di Girolamo, who
shares my own ambitions to produce
those things of beauty that are a Joy
forever, has acted as a leaven to the
people and found a response in thou
sands of men and women who had
been groping vaguely in the hope of
finding something that would satis
fy their longings for something worth
while in the way of entertainment,
that would supply pleasure and edu
cation at the same time.
Three Sisters Win
Success as Ranchers
EUREKA, CAL., Dec. 13.--One year
spent on a small ranch in the fertile
Eel River Valley by three young
women who never had any previous
farm experience, but who had instead
been engaged in offices in Eastern
business ‘establishments, lias proved
to their own satisfaction that the
“back-to-the-farm’’ movement is the
right idea.
In the year the sisters have, con
ducted their ranch they have enjoyed
good health, have prospered finan
cially and now own a principality in
their own right.
In Prison 40 Years,
Burglar to Reform
RAN QUENTIN, CAL., Dec. 13.—
Having spent more than 40 years of
67 years of his life in Ran Quentin
and Folsom prisons, “Uncle Six.” who
says he was born a, burglar, walked
out of the penitentiary a free man,
having been paroled by the Stale
Board of Prison Directors.
“Uncle Rix” says he will start life
all over again and endeavor to make
a man of himself.
Shackled to Convict,
Deputy Forgets Key
COLUMBUS, OHIO. Dec. 13.— Deputy
Sheriff Damp Urey, of Belmont County,
spent an uncomfortable half hour in the
office of Warden Thomas at the pen
itentiary the other morning.
Damphrey handcuffed a prisoner to
himself when he left home and landed
at the pen still coupled to the man.
He had forgotten to put the key to
the handcuffs In his pocket. They were
of the vintage of 1865, and it required
a half hour to get a key that would
turn the lock. *
He Works Years for
Others to Pay Debts
JAMESTOWN, N. J., Dec. 13.—“I
ha\A» worked for more than twelve
years to be able to do this," said David
Lyons, of Chicago, to his friends in
Jamestown as he paid the last claim
cf the several hundred outstanding
against thim when he left Jamestown
for Chicago ih 1901.
“As far as I can find I have paid
every dollar I owed. I did not want
a friend to lose a cent and no one
lias.”
BURNS HERSELF TO DEATH.
FRESNO, Dec. 13.—While tempo
rarily deranged, Mrs Addle Boyd, 73.
and a pioneer resident of Fresno, re
puted to own property worth $60,000.
I saturated her clothing with coal oil and
set herself afire.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.—No more card
games, dice, .nickel-in-the-slot piano
music, raffles, not even a chair upon
which a customer may rest his weary
bones in the saloons of St. Louis County.
The ruling was made under a State
law, which never has been enforced.
QUIT MEAT IF YOUR BACK BURTS;
FLUSH YOUR KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Meat Forms Uric Acid, Which
Clogs Kidneys, Irritates Blad
der or Causes Rheumatism.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region,v.
it generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au
thority. Meat forms uric acid, which
overworks the kidneys in thfeir effort to
filter It from the blood, and they become
sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your
kidneys get sluggish and clog, you must
relieve them, like you relieve your how-
i els; removing all the body’s urinous
i waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, wa-
ter scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
nighf.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharmacist
about 4 ounces of .lad Salts; take a ta-
blesp^onful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the seed of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys;
also to neutralize acids in the urine
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life-saver for regular
meat-eaters. It is inexpensive, can not
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink.—Advt.
