By Carrier, Delivered toany varticfithe city. a eee = “ al 1" : 12 1-2c Per Week Issued Every Evening, Sundays Excepted, at Nevada City APRIL 22, 1904 Importance and Value Of Little Things. O matter how great our ambition may be to do great things, it is just as well to keep in sight the importance and value of little things. Great results do not grow out of great causes but out of a multitude of minor exertions, making the great result possible. The oak tree rises from a small acorn and many small acorns can grow a forest. Many good intentioned people really waste some of their. power waiting for a great result and disregarding the real daily and minor efforts that shall bring the great result to pass. There is another view, but it is riot often spoken about. It involves the thought that great moral characters and men and women of extraordinary power frequently are those whose lives, analyzed day by day, week by week and year by year, show a long series of mistakes. Their growth to strength frequently comes from recognizing the mistakes and then striving to undo the results of these mistakes and the reso— lution never to make such a mistake again. You can depend upon it that back of the triumphant front some men and women of power turn towards the world, there is a battle field of the heart strown with defeated enemies of the self, each victory being little in itself, but the total result being grand for the individual and of untold benefit for the human race. The usual view is that a mistake once made can never be undone, and that “the bird with the broken pinion can never soar so high again,” but the wing of a bird and the moral power of a man are not parallel, FF PH HR HD PD D Torpedoes vs. Cannon. HE Russo-Japanese war has shown the superiority of torpedoes over big guns. Every disaster suffered by the Russian fleet and every advantage gained by the. Japanese thus far has been due to submarine explosives. The big cannon in the turrets of the warships and on theland fortifications have accomplished little. Japanese battle ships steaming backward and forward in front of Port Arthur, distant several miles therefrom, have thrown a few shells into the city, and the Russian guns replying have sought in vain to disable the distant war vessels. A few persons have been killed and a little damage done; but the firing of a big gun is a costly operation and it is probable that the battles fought have been as costly to the attacking force as to the attacked as far as the cannonading was concerned But with the mines and torpedoes the situation is different. An inexpensive little boat dashes forward, depending on its small size and speed to escape destruction, succeeds in discharging a single torpedo and sinks a battleship, The total expense is small, the number of men concerned not large and the damage great. : 5 Every war is a lesson in military science. Nations, like individuals, learn only by experience, and one of the lessons that will be learned from the present war will be the torpedo mode of naval warfare.

Omaua, April 21.—Staggering in his walk and with bleary, bloodshot eye, little Willie Grayson, a 56-year-old lad, jast big enough to be wearing knee trousers, was brought into the police s‘ation last night in a dranken condition. With him was brought his father, who was also,badly intoxicated and who was said to be responsible for his little son’s condition. Both were covered from head to foot with mud, as the result of falling in their staggering walk into the gutter, The father, who gave the name of John GraySoD, was so badly intoxicated that very little could be learned from him. He finally stated tbat he was from South Omaha end that his wife was waiting at the depot there for him to buy e ticket for her to Fremont. He could not tell how he and his son came to be at tbe Burlington station in this city, where Officer Fiske arrested them. The lad, who appeared to be exceptionally bright for bis age and size, could talk a little more, although still considerably under the influence of liquor. With a lisp in his voice he said: “T’m pretty near sober now. We was drinking in a saloon and when we came out I staggered so that I fell iato a big hole fall of mud. Then dad fell in on top of me and we got awfully muddy.” When asked if he had ever been to school, the lad gaid that he went once. Oat of consideration for the boy's extreme youth, the officers did not book him as a prisoner, but simply put bim in a cell where they could watch him during thenight, He is the youngest child ever brought to the station in a drunken condition.
