What in the world is the matter,
Harold?" anxiously inquired the pretty
girl. "Why, you seem too nervous to
sit down a minute"

sponded Harold Hatband, with an eye
on the window, "but-er--I just saw

. Reports from the oil field at Smith
Valley tells Of lively happenings there.
People are rushing in from all directions
and many cases of claim jumping have
come to notice. Trouble is feared in
some cases, as the FIRST locators are not
inclined 10 have their holdings taken
from them. Experts on the ground are
enthusiastic over the outlook for finding
oil in paying quantities. There is only
one surveyor in the field so far, and
people are guarding their claims until
they can be surveyed and properlyi
staked.-Virginia Chronicle. :

While all the indications point to q
large wheat crop in the United States,
other grain:growing countries are not
so favored. Reports from Odessa, the
great shipping point for Russian grain,
are that the wheat crop is from % to
90 per cent. below the average, and
that famine is feared. This will be
bad news for a large part of Europe,
which gets food stuffs from Russia, and
worse for the unfortunate subjects of
the car, who may come face to face
with starvation. This country may
have another opportunity to show prac-
! tical charity to sufferers across seas.

SILVER MINES
TO SHUT DOWN
limited Press Leased Wire.l

(United Press Leased Wire.)
Tonopah, New, Dec. 3.-The own
ers of the large silver mines of
Tonopah and the camps near here
are discussing today the question OF
closing their workings until the
price of silver rises. The continual
depression of the silver market will
probably force the mines to close
according to the operators, unless
the tendency of the white metal to
hover about as cents is dissipated.
1t is rumored that the Philadel-
phia capitalists who control the Ton
opah mining corporation have al
ready wired their manager to stop
operations. ore that has been taken
out of the shaft will be kept in the
dumps and the shipping of bullion
will cease temporarily.
Three thousand men will be
thrown out during the holidays II
the mines close before Christmas.

Paris, Dec 3.--The Princess De
Broglie. formerly Mrs. s. b. Veit, OF
Chicago, and, before that, the beauti-
full and talented Estelle Alexander,
of San Francisco, who is suing Prince
Rupert De Broglie for divorce on the
ground of desertion. now Is support
ing herself and children by singing In
the leading cafes.
The predicament OF the fiancee
points fresh moral to the long and
picturesque history OF international
marriages between titled Europeans
and American helresses. Mrs. Veit
was beauty, to whom society on
both sides of the water paid homage,
but she went her way indifferently
and yielded only to the fervent court
ing of the young prince, when only
21 years of age, and still student at
the naval academy. The family OBJ
jected, and, finally, the pair eloped
and we're married at Milan. The
princes father was obdurate. his al
lowance was cut of. and for a long
while he and his wife endured hard
ships and dire poverty. the prince
being unable to find employment CT
any kind for his royal hands AT
last, the strain proved too much, and
wife and husband separated.
