success in this State. He states that at
Wells a number Of the farmers are rails
ing large crops by dry farming, and
that the potatoes and other products
are exceptionally fine. Some OF the
land on which fine crops have been
raised has never been irrigated and
some of it has not even had a drop OF rain
fall upon it since the crops were planted.
The altitude Of this land is $500 feet

Over the Wire.

copyright, 1905. by t. C.. McClure.1
Job Strong kept a grocery in the
town of Medina, and he was an old
bachelor. 1t had been said of him a
hundred times over that he was the
homeliest man In the state.
Job Strong had a brother living in
Brunswick, and, as each had a tele-
phone, messages often passed between
them. The grocer had a good voice. 1t
was deep and rich and clear, and he
was accounted one of the best singers
in his church choir. One day when he
went to hello for Brunswick he found
himself answered by a new voice. 1t
was that of a female. and 1t stirred
his heart at once. 1t was pitched to a
gentle cadence. 1t reminded him of
his own New Orleans molasses gently
gurgling from the spigot into a Gus
toner's jug. 1t rolled along the wire
like a new tire on a bike, and he held
on to 1t as long as possible. Curiously
enough, that deep, rich voice of his
awoke an answering echo in the heart
of the operator at Brunswick. She
thought of knights and cavaliers and
squires and danes, and it was with a
sigh that she switched him over to the
brother.
1t may be giving away the plot too
soon, but there is a curious coinci-
dence here to be explained. The Bruins
wick operator was an old maid named
Miss Judkins. She had reached the
age of forty and for the last twenty
years had been a match for job Strong
In LONELINESS. "As homely as Miss
Judkins' was a saying for thirty miles
around. They said Of her that she
had once scared q COW to death by en-
tering the barn and that when farm
ers drove to town they double hitched
their horses to the posts on her ac-
count. And, like Job Strong. she didn't
know that anything vas amiss.
After the first call over the wire Job
Strong had a longing TO hear that voice
again. Not many hours had passed be-
fore he found an excuse. This time he
did not inquire for his brother, but
asked about the price of real estate and
other things In Brunswick and also in
troduced himself. The operator could
do no less than give her W name
in reply. and thus began the courtship.
for such 1t truly was. At least three
times a day the grocer had something
to say over the wire and found a ready
and sympathetic listener. He had a
picture In his minds eye of the lady

The McGill. Adams Company, a

of Eastern Nevada. has just closed q
deal whereby it secures control Of 5000
acres Of grazing and farming land in
White Pine County. The amount paid

II was of q knight on a lack charger.
When three months had gone by the
grocer determined to visit brunswick
and know the worst or best. He found
himself absentminded by day and
s~leepless b. night. and this wouldn't
do at all. The first be knew his rivals
would be selling wagon grease 2
cents a box cheaper than he was and
dfS.xing away his trade. He notified
Miss Judkins Of the day. and she put
on her Sunday dress and extra false
hair for the occasion and also got a
substitute for the day. Two hearts
were beating unanimously as Job
knocked at the door. Then two people
surveyed each other for a moment and
sat down. and there came a painful ST.
lence. Ii was broken at last by Miss
Judkins' brother. who was present.
After letting out a guffaw to be heard
forty rods he exclaimed:
seWell. may l be durned.'
This aroused the sister to action, and
with flaming cheeks she turned ON dob

"Ill be burned again. shouted the
brother after another guffaw.
"Sir, this is unbearablef' said Miss
Judkins as she rose up.

also rose up.

"You insult me, sir"
"And you insult me-"
Good lands, but IL I'd have known
you were the man you are l wouldn't
have wasted a minute on your
Ditto again.
Look a-here," said the brother when
he could stop laughing, you two are
foolish to quarrel. Destiny has brought
this about. You are well matched for
LONELINESS. You both take the cake
over anything l ever saw. If you don't
get together you will never have an
other chance on the face OF this earth.

million times that you'd scare crows

me. but I've seer more beauty In old

1t is. pleasure to record that they
followed the well meant advice, al

Death of Lady Erskine.

Glasgow, Aug. 3O.-Although no
reason has developed for seriously
doubling the theory that Lady Margery
Gladys Stuart Erskine, whose decom4
posed body was found in the Scottish
Moors near Aviemore, Inverness, died
from exposure and privation, society
is today commenting on her broken
engagement to Hon. Arthur Broderick.
These hints 60 no farther than that
Lady Margery may have committed
suicide. The post mortem will probably
clear up the mystery. The fact that
the body showed that an ankle was
broken has convinced the police that
Lady Margery, who was OF a neurotlc
tendency, fell while wandering on
the isolated mountainside, and was
unable to summon help. She had not
been seen since July 81.
