Not AS " Read.
A certain NJ. p, as proud and fond
as a man should be of his beautiful
young wife, was just about rising to
speak in a debate when a telegram was
put into his hands,. He read it, left
the house, jumped into a cab, drove to
ChariIg Cross and took the train to
Dover. Next day he returned home,
rushed into his wife's bedroom and.
finding her there, upbraided the aston
ished lady in no measured terms. She
protested her ignorance of having done
anything to offend him.
''Then what did you meal by your
telegram" he asked. n.y."
Mean? What I said, of course
What are you talking about?"
"Read 1t for yourself" said he.
She read: II fee with Mr.. X. to Do.

For the moment words would moi
come. Then, after a merry ft Of laugh

Interesting Find In rne Superstition
 Hills On the Desert.

w. s. SmallWood, who has been making Brawley his headquarters for several weeks while he makes gen eral inspection of this country, came in from the vicinity of the Superstition mountains the other day with an in teresting find made on the desert about nine miles west of Brawley. On a large hummock, whereon there was growing considerable greasewood, he discovered a lot of burro and mule shoes handmade shoe nails, with the heavy pointed heads, and pack-hOril5 from burro packs. These shoes and shoe-nails are all of the oId-style Span ish pattern, which has not been in use for at least a half century, anl the pack horns are deeply weather-beaten and worn from the grind of wind-blown sands. It is believed that the outfit must have been abandoned by some desert calvacade during the Spanish occupation. The articles were taken to the office of the Brawley Towl' X Improvement Company where they have attracted considerable attention Some of them will be sent to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and others to the State Historical Society. -Brawley News.

SAN DIEGO HIGHWAY.
All In Favor of 1t, But No Steps To.
 ward Building.

Residents of Imperial Valley arc very desirous of taking steps toward having good automobile road built from there to San Diego, and the matter will be brought up for con- sideration at the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Imperial county.
 This, says the Union, is the sub stance of statement made by E. J. Swayne, who has just returned to San Diego, after a business trip of several days in the fertile valley. q had long talks with many of the leading men there," said MT. Swayne, ''and every one is heartily in favor of building good road to San Diego. The most popular route seems to be that by way of Campo.
 Tt has been estimated that $5000 will make good highway the entire distance from San Drego to Imperial via Campo. The people there are very anxious of pushing the matter and there will probably be some defi- mite line of action decided upon at the next meeting of the valley super visors."
 The matter was not taken up by the supervisors for the simple reason that there was nothing tangible to take up. They are waiting to hear from some responsible source that San Diego de- sires to cooperate in building road.

Arrangements were made this week for the presentation of the comedy, Browns In. Town" ut the Ei Centro opera house, Saturday March IA, by the Redlands lodge of Elks, assisted by clever professionals.
 It will be good show, a clever company and an entertainment well worth seeing. Seats will be on sale next Monday morning at Dunaway's s drug store, and big advance sale is expected.
 The Redlands papers speak well of the play and the manner in which the Elks presented it in that city. The Facts says: Brown proved to be a most mysterious person, with numer- ous wives, in fact there were times when he did not know how many wives he really had and there were occasions when he even did not know his name But the tangle incident to the action of the play was finally unraveled."
