Nolan county court that a telephone
marriage Is not legal marriage there
will be rush or remarriages in Texas,
where the telephone fad has been
quite popular.
The s250,000 estate Of the late
Thomas wemberley, ranchman. is tied
ap on this legal point Upon his death,
some months ago. contest Of the
will was made BY certain relatives,
and the question OF the legality Of the
marriage was raised by counsel for

question was fought upon every
ground. The court held that mar

sbiemnIzed By a minister OF Judge or
rdher authority in the presence cf the
contracting parties and Witnesses. all

The Wemberleys were united BY q
telephone ceremony. in which the
bride and bridegroom responded to
the justice, who married them over q

OLD HEN FRUIT WOULDN'T DO.
Name Written on Egg Three Years
Before Fails to Start Romance.

Coleridge, Neb.-Miss Della Taylor,
of this place, has just received a letter
from a young Sacramento man, the
tone of which rather implies wish
for a Irritation with a possible roman
tic elimination. The writer said his
mother had shown him an egg, on the
shell of which was the name Della
Taylor, Coleridge, Neb., and out Of
curiosity and possible amusement he
had written to the address given. The
girls name was accompanied by a
little NOTE" saying she was high
school girl.
Miss Taylor has inst written reply
to the Californian's letter. She says
she was indeed school girl when sh
wrote her name on the egg, but that
was three years ago, and she feels
that her graduation is long time
passed. She explains that one day
while visiting some friends in Rodney
Ia. they were putting eggs in case
and for lark several of them wrote
their names on the shells.
There at least appears to be some
thing to recommend in the keepinl
properties OF the Iowa eggs, but th'
romance has been taken out of thu
incident because Miss Taylor ha
other plans.

For many months the subject has
been discussed in general way among
the doctors Of the city ana several
