Miss Jennie Jerome, beautiful and as
brilliant a woman as the world has ever
seen. To marry her. you would think
would have been enough in ITSELF but
besides his wife, the Englishman got an
annual allowance of $4,000. to continue
throughout his life. and, in the event of
his wife's death without issue. he was to

children. an additional $4,000 was TO go to
them.

LAKE HAS NO OUTLET
Remarkable Natural Phenomenon Reported by an American
Traveller.

A resident of New York fetches back
with him from a visit in Australia
the story Of q most startling lake.
Lake George, the largest lake of New
South Wales, Australia, has no out
let except evaporation. For a series
of years the brooks that tumble down
the mountains which edge the lake
may steadily contribute to it a larger
quantity of water than is evaporated
from its surface.
Then the lake steadily rises. The
water pushes north and south until the
lake is twenty-one miles or more in
length, with a width of seven or eight
miles.
For another series of years the water
brought by the brooks may be steadily
smaller than the quantity evaporated.
Then the lake begins to fall, shrink
ing in a few years to half it's former
dimensions, this process going on
sometimes till Lake George entirely
disappears except for a few water
holes in the lowest parts of it's bed.
IL iohC was III lIOOu uuI llIS lOCI, GA
tending north and south for twenty
one miles with a depth of twelve feet.
Twice in the last century thousands
of sheep and cattle were pastured on
large areas now covered with water.
They were the most numerous repre-
sentatives there of the larger forms of
animal life just as fish and water fowl
are to-day.
The cabins of the stock raisers or
squatters, as they were called, were
scattered over the meadows. Veg
etables were raised and patches of
wheat. So little was known of Lake
George in those days that the herders
really had a feeling of security and
permanency, but the day came when
the rising water swished around he
cabins, drowned some of the stock, and
drove the squatters to the highlands.
Everybody knows now that the bed
of Lake George offers a very uncertain
tenure to settlers. When it comes in

PATHETIC TALE OF WOE
Young Mans Dignity Suey Hurt by His Trials in a Dentists Office.

J.. K. L. Carter is a young man of
considerable personal dignity. He is
also extremely careful of his personal
appearance, and therefore he has been
CT late spending sometime in the den
lists chair. Mr.. Carter admits that the
man who sits in a fitting chair, with
a towel tied round his neck and his
mouth pried open by a couple OF
corks, does not present a dignified ap-
pearance, but he contends that the re-
suits justify the mean employed.
Last Thursday young Mr.. Carter
went over to the dentists Office to see
about having one of his front teeth
fitted with a crown. AS a preliminary
step it was necessary for the dentist
to take a plaster cast of Mr.. Carriers
mouth.
Mr.. Carter leaned back in the chair
and the dentist and his assistant came
in, the latter bringing with him the
hot and liquid plaster. The plaster
was inserted and Mr.. Carter was told
to shut his teeth down hard.
It'll take five minutes" the dem
fist said, "for the cast to harden.
Then I'll come in and relieve YOU"
The dentist and his assistant went
out of the operating room, leaving the
young man in the chair. Just as they
left the room the telephone bell rang
and the dentists wife asked him to
meet her on the ground floor.
I've got somebody here l want you
to meet" she said, IN only keep you
a moment"
The dentist went down the eleva-
tor, saw his wife, and started to re-

TO view again perhaps no attempt will
be made to utilize it on so large a
scale as was one in the SOS and 40's of
n last century.
The lake lies at the lower end of a
basin so walled in by mountains and
hills that the drainage into 1t has no
chance to escape to the sea. 1t was
long before this fact was discovered.
Some early maps show Lake George
as the probable source of a small river
known on the coast, but a careful sur
yey finally revealed the fact that not
a drop of water escapes from the basin
except to the clouds.
The native blacks have always re-
garded it with superstitious dread.
When they piloted the first exploring
party to the lake in 1920 (the first
reports of its existence came from the
blacks in 1879 a splendid sheet of
water was found.
The whites were first perplexed and
then amused by the stories the natives
told them. 1t was years before it was
ulSCONSlcU IAGj IuG HdlIfcS udu DCCh
trying to tell, in their imperfect way,
of phenomena that mystified them. 1t
all seemed very uncanny to the poor
blacks, who feared the lake and usually
avoided it.
Since 1849 the lake has never been
wholly dry. 1t varies much in size,
sometimes being only eight to ten
miles long and four to six feet deep
and then swelling again to its largest
proportions. At times n may drive
on dry land across a part of the lake
where a few years later there are ten
or twelve feet Of water.
For nine years after 1855 a farmer
used the narrow, northern part of the
lake as a cattle run, c%ultivating at the
same time about ten acres of wheat a
year; fifteen feet of water covered this
part of the lake in 1876.
A little money. therefore, is a Ian

In a recent letter from $500 Michigan

following;

over ten years ! suffered from
Cafarrh of the stomach terribly.

Catarrh or stomach trouble of any

but begin TO take Peruna right

are cured, as you surely will be if
you perseYere.
my wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with a bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the
country gave her up to die. as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better
now than she has been in years, and her
cough has almost left her entirely. The
soreness has left her lungs and she il as we'll

she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly,

becoming a general curse. An undoubted

tested during the past forty years. PrOmi-
nent men have cOne to know of its virtues,
and are making public utterances on the

the people. To save the people we must
protect them from disease. The disease that
is at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh.
If one were to make q list of the different
names that have been applied to catarrh in
different locations and organs, the result
would be astonishing. We nave often pub
lished a partial list Of these names, and the
surprise caused by the first publication of it
to all people, both professionals and non
professional, was amusing. And yet we

which are classed as catarrh. 1t must be

turn, but he was met at the elevator
door by the starter, who gave him
startling news.
I'm sorry, sir but there is some
thing the matter with the elevators
and they are all shut down. They'll
be running again in 10 minutes"
The DENTISTS office was on the 18th
floor, and he anew it would take him
half an hour to climb up, even if he
survived the trip. So he sat down
and waited.
Meanwhile young Mr.. Carter in the
dentist chair sat and felt the plaster
harden into a rocklike grip on his
bicuspids and molars. Soon he found
himself unable to move his jaws. He
went out into the reception room, but
the dentists assistant was out in the
hall trying to find what was the mat
ter with the elevators. The waiting
patients in the reception room looked
at him as if he were crazy.
Half an hour later the dentist got
back to his Office. He found Carter
speechless, but purple in the face with
rage. 1t took the joint and long-con-
tinued efforts of the dentist, his assist
ant, a cold chisel, a couple of drills and
a gimlet to separate Mr.. Carter and the
cast. The first thing he said when he
recovered the power of speech was not
at all fit for publication.
Mr.. Carter is now patronizing an
other dentist, and the dentist whom he
deserted has absolutely forbidden his
wife to call him Up on the telephone
during business hours.-Chicago Trib-

Outlaws Rocky Stronghold

Soon To Be Demolished

The notorious "Hole-in-the-wall," in
former years a rendezvous for cattle
''rustlers," murderers and train and
bank robbers, is soon to be a thing of
the past. The county commissioners
have called for bids for blasting out
a section of the high wall of red sand
stone, through which a small stream
now flows and along which there is a
narrow trail leading through the wall
of rock to the fertile valleys within.
1t is proposed to widen this trail,
which was used by outlaws for many
years, and which, guarded by a few
men, made the hole a veritable fort
ress. so that freight teams and Or
binary vehicles car pass in and out
of the hole-in-the-wall country.
Several hundred pounds of dynamite
and giant powder will be used in the
work. In many places hundreds OF
tons of rock will be blasted away from
the walls, while at other spots only
a few feet of rock will be removed.
An old, tumbledown log house was
for many years the headquarters Of
the outlaw band. 1t was only a mile
from the entrance to the hole and
here, with a guard at the entrance, the
thieves lived in perfect safety. 1t was
here that the stolen horses and cattle
were corralled and their brands
changed.
Back of this ranch and extending for
a distance of forty or fifty miles is 4
fertile valley, broken here and there
by small, rolling hills. Springs of
sparkling water, located in numerous
spots in the valley, feed a small stream
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1902-04-04

in which there are millions OIL trout.
Along the valley of this stream and its
tributaries there are beautiful mead
ows, furnishing an abundance of grass
for thousands of cattle and horses, and
it is no wonder that the outlaws chose
this romantic and virgin spot for their
hiding place.
In early days the hole-in-the-wal]
country was settled by ranchmen, says
a Casper CWyo.) special to the New
York World, but the depredations OF
the outlaws soon drove the ranchers
out. With the passing of the central
Wyoming outlaw, however. the rich
country is again becoming settled by
~peaceable and law-abiding citizens, and
e~vil-doers will never again find a safe
hiding place there.
