Married by Rhyme.

In the northwest stern part OF Virginia
there lives a we'll known Irish magis-
trate, a man of liberal education and
full quota of genuine wit. A short
time ago Jim and Bet, colored pair,
called upon the squire to be united
"better or worse The squire, hav-
ing been notified of their ccming,
prepared and actually used the fol-
lowing ceremony:
Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret,
10 love and cherish,
Till one of you perish,
And is laid under the sod,
So help you GodP
All being answered in the ,atfirma-
tive by Jim, the squire turned to Bet
and said.
Bet, will you take Jim,
And cling to him,
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart,
Till death do you part?
Bet acquiesed with modest bow,
and the now happy pair was dismissed
as follows:
Through life S alternate joy and strife
| now pronounce you man and wife.
Go up life's hill till you get to the
level,
And salute your bride, you rusty

We climbed the other side of the

hard to follow. At its end Madeline

Next day brought news Of storm at

waves were running Immensely high.
Standing in the door of my cabin,
twelve feet above the sands. | saw 1t

the house which sheltered Madeline

wreck Of my fortune.
Fifty thousand feet of lumber which
had once been the boat lay scattered
along the shore farther than the eye

the motive power of the boat lay here
and yon in millions of pieces, burying
themselves in the sand, while the work
of brain and toll of hands had been as
nothing to the sea in her madness.
As stood there Il voice came sweet

timdly on my arm.

a dreadful thing to have happened

Then most surprising thing hap
pened. Ny little Madeline, with a
wonderful look in her dark eyes, stood
on tiptoe and raised her face to me.
Jamie, let me help you start again.

You didn't tell me you loved me. You
just talked about spending money on

"Would you rather have lost the

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Straussburg,

Tuesday evening from their many

bride 'smelt a mouse" and were
prepared for the party of serena

take of claret punch and cigars,
which were served with a lavish
hand. The young couple made
their friends more than welcome.
In the account of the wedding
of these young people the STAND

by Rev. Price, pastor of the

and Miss Ethel DeArmond acted

j. E. Hicks For Commissioner.

In another column will be found
the announcement of ]. E. Hicks
for long term commissioner of
Churchill county, subject to the
decision of the Republican county
convention. The STANDARD is
pleased to make this announce
ment, for the reason that it
believes that Mr.. Hicks would
make a first-class official. He is
a self-made man, and as manager
and vice-president of the Fair
view Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany has made a decided success of
that public service and kept abreast of
the demands of business at all times.
His was the first wire in Rawhide, and
all messages to that lively camp passed
through Fallen. He is quick to see a
business proposition and just as prompt
to take advantage of it. 1t is that
kind of man that is needed at the
present time to administer the affairs
of Churchill county. He has host of
friends and the Democrats will have to
look close to find man to beat him.

Death of Mrs. Mnkead.

Mrs H. J. Kinkead died at | O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. after an illness of
about two weeks, of gastric ulcer of
the stomach, caused by the bursting of
blood vessel. -
This is a sad death indeed, and comes
as a surprise, for relatives and friends
had hoped for the best until a few
hours before her demise. Everything
that medical skill and trained nursing
could do was done, but all to no pur-
pose.
Her maiden name was Edna Brown,
and she was born in Virginia City,
Nevada, August 20, 1885, just % years
ago to the II, ur she died Her mother,
Mrs. D. l.. Brown, was with her up to
the last.
The funeral will take place in Vir-
ginia City today.
The whole community sympathizes
with the sorrowing husband in his hour
of affection. They were a devoted,
happy couple, and the genuine grief of
bud" Kinkead is shared in by all who
knew them.

FaIIOn Has an Auto Factory.

The Auto Livery Company is
the busiest place in town. Seven
mechanics are constantly engaged
in the building and repair of
autos. AT present they are MAX
ing the wooden frames for the
surry style of conveyance to be
placed on the running gear of
auto cars. They will hold seven
passengers, besides the driver,
and will be equipped with top
covering for bad weather. Every
thing is made here except the
running gear, and these expert
workmen can repair any breaks
or damage of any nature.
In the blacksmith shop the bel
lows are worked by air supplied
by a gas engine and a compressor
keeps a large tank filled with air
for filling the tubes of the auto
tires.
H. M. Blakeslee, president of
the company, says that travel
between Fallon and Rawhide has
increased about thirty per cent
within the past month, and he
looks for a constant increase from
now on.

Editor RevOIts

1t is told about Michigan editor
that he grew tired of lying about people
in obituary notices, and then have
people call him hypocrite, so he wrote
up one well known citizen. We have
not been able to learn what became of
the editor:
DIED. Aged ffty-six years, six
months and fifteen days. Deceased
was a mild-mannered pirate with a
mouth for whisky and an eye for
Doodle. He came here at night with
another mans wife and joined the
church at the first chance. He owed us
seven dollars on the paper. You could
hear him pray six blocks. He died
singing: Jesus Paid 1t All, and we
think he is right, as he never paid any
thing himself. He was buried in an
asbestos easket and his friends threw
palm fans into his grave, as he may
need them. His tombstone will be a
favorite resting place for hoot owls.
