Lord Spencer of Althorp, ore OF the
greatest Of book collectors. was at
home only in his own field. One day
In browsing about Bond street. Lon.
don. he went into the shop OF dealer
In bric-a-brac. The dealer. who knew
him by sight, said persuasively:
Here Is fine bit OF pottery which
your lordship really ought to have.
and you shall have 1t very cheap-only
2 guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought 1t and took
It home and set 1t in a high place.
One day a connoisseur OF china paid
him visit, and Lord Spencer showed
his bargain.
what did you give for itT asked
the connoisseur.
1.-TWO guineas." answered Spencer
rather proudly.
HIM said the connoisseur. AT
that price the marmalade should have
been included"
what do you mean?'
"Why. that precious piece Of yours
Is nothing more or less than a shil-
ling marmalade pot with green this
tie painted on it."

Sileneina the Questioners.

A French gentleman who had been
with NJ. de Talleyrand for twenty
years accompanied him to the congress
at Vienna after Napoleon's exile to
Elba. People naturally concluded that
this long intimacy had made him IA
miliar with number Of particulars OF
the minister's life and bearing also
upon the events with which he had
been mixed up. Worried with ques-
tons. the friend invariably replied that
he knew nothing but the questioners
would not be satisfied and returned to
the charge.
Very we'll" finally said Talleyrand's
confidant; "Tll tell you a peculiar and
altogether unknown fact in connection
with NJ. de Talleyrand. Since Louis
XIV. he's the only man who can open -
soft boiled egg with one backward
stroke Of his knife without spillinS a
drop Of the contents Of the shell. That
is the only popularity l know in con-
nection with him"
Discretion had scored a decisive vic
tory. From that moment the qucs-
tons ceased.

the city, came to Norfolk Friday he
went to local bank and deposited
S4OO, fearing to carry 1t about in his
pockets. He was given a deposit
check which he placed in pocket
book and later strolled around the
carnival grounds. where he believes
some pickpocket touched" him
Luckily he had nothing in the wallet
except the deposit check, which he
failed to endorse, so that the thiefs
reward was a cold one"
Later in the evening F. Woodruff
and S. l.. Gibbs were passing by the
postoffice and found the wallet lying
on the sidewalk. Examination re,
vealed the check which was given to
the police, who In turn returned it to
the bank.
1t was believed that the thief, hav.
ing found out his theft was cold
one, had thrown the pocket book away
for fear of being caught with it.
Early Saturday morning Eastburn
entered the bank and excitedly told of
his loss to the cashier, who assured
him the payment would be stopped
and he would not lose anything. He
has not yet heard that the check had
been found.

Fireeracker Started Runaway

Gordon, Neb., July Especial to
The News: To have started run
away and then stopped the team be-
fore any damage was done was the
peculiar experience of a Gordon boy
few days ago. A ranch team hitch.
ed to a loaded freight wagon was
standing by the door to the freight
room of the depot when a young man
set off large firecracker on the oppo.
site side of the street. The team
started but owing to the heavy load
could not run fast at the start. The
driver was some distance in the rear
Of the wagon but heard the team start
and ran toward them. Before he
reached them the boy had hurried
across the street and headed the
team off. Luckily no damage was
done either to team or wagon.

He was driving at high rate of

A NeIiqh Poker Game.

Neigh, Neb., July Especial to
The News: There is probably not a
city in northeast Nebraska that can
boast of more activity along all lines
than can Neligh-especally when it
comes to doing curious things.
AS rumor has it, one of her latest
stunts was pulled off in the back
room of one of the business houses
of the city short time ago. 1t seems
that a prominent business man con-
ceived the idea of giving few bust.
ness acquaintances an opportunity to
relax, for time, from the business
cares of life and so invited them to a
little social game Of draw" in the
back room of his place of business
at so much per draw.
Everything seemed to have gone
along nicely and the meeting likely to
prove a success, until it was noticed
that the ace Of clubs was somewhat
torn and therefore easily distinguish
ed, and it was thought best to have a
reached on a shelf, produced the deck,
and proceeded to deal the proper num-
Der of cards to the guests.
Up until this stage of the game
there was nothing but what any ordi-
nary citizen could do in any ordinary
town, but at this point is where Ne
ligh breaks away from the ordinary,
and puts on one Of those peculiar CO.
incident stunts that makes her stand
out in class by her lonesome.
Rumor goes ON further to say that
In the deal that followed, one party
got three deuces, another four tens,
another four kings, another four aces,
another a small straight and the afore
mentioned host straight flush. When
the smoke cleared away the latter
was seen to pocket the swag with one
of those satisfied smiles that are so
irritating under ordinary circumstan-
ces, but of course, this being an ex-
ceptional case, it was looked upon with
considerable pride by the star per-
formers and another "hIghwater
mark" credited up for Neigh.
Several of the prominent citizens
are going down the street with pencil
and tablet in their hands, and it is
presumed that they are figuring just
how many thousand years it would be
until just that peculiar thing could
happen again. 1t is reported that the
party who held the four tens has final
ly demonstrated that it will require
just 1,327,417 years and twenty-six
days for the same thing to occur
again, provided the game run con-
tinuously for that length of time.
Just when the next relaxation meet
ing will be called, or where it will be
held, your informant has not learned,
but 1t is safe TO say that should any
other town in northeast Nebraska I'M
dertake to pull off a stunt in competi-
ton with the above the talent of Ne
ligh will be aroused, and you can look
for wonderful things.

to live in New York, for it is the place

turning to manufacture congressional
bombs while sitting in the shade Of

Falls From Horse.

Valentine, Neb., July Especial to
The News: Bob Heth. a young man
from near Valentine while riding
horseback through town, did not no.
tice a guy wire and rode under it, the
wire catching on the saddle horn and
pulling the saddle off throwing Heth
quite distance as well as throwing
the horse off his feet. Heth landed on
his hip and was mighty lucky to have
got off with a slightly lame hip, for
had the wire have caught him, it
would have likely killed him, for he

Great Rosebud Crop Assured.

Gregory, S. D., July Especial to
The News: A heavy steady rain fell
in Gregory and over the Rosebud
country. Coming just as it does
about week or ten days before most
of the small grain will be harvested
this rain will help materially in fill
ing out the grain to bursting size and
will give the Rosebud farmer another
very heavy crop. The crop outlook
ten days ago was not very promising.
Moisture there had been in abundance
until short time before, but a steady
south wind continuing day after day
during more than a week of dry hot
weather had caused the wiseacres to
set up their claims that the proverb-
ial luck of the Rosebud farmer was
going to receive a serious setback
this year. Then came the big soak
ing rain of week ago and saved the
small grain crop with such an amount
of moisture as to absolutely assure a
heavy crop. The rain now falling a
week before harvest will simply add
it's weight to the grain kernels and
restore the Rosebud country to its
place Of prominence among northwest
agricultural communities.

Common Law Wife Of Coad.
Lincoln, July 5.-Mark M. Coad,
millionaire horseman and ranch own.
er of Fremont must pay Valeria AL
lenspach $4,000 as alimony. So says
the supreme court. Coad is past 20,
the woman Is an attractive grass wild
ow under 40. She sued for a divorce,
claiming herself to be Coad's common
law wife. Coad denied that he had
ever entered into any contract by
which they were to regard themselves
as husband and wife, but admitted
that she had been his mistress for
several years. He introduced proof
to show that he had given her much
money during that time, and succeed
ed in convincing the district court
that he had acquitted himself of all
obligations.
The supreme court holds that COM
mon law marriage was proven and
that it sustains an action for divorce
to the same extent as though the mar
riage was solemnized in strict accord.
ance with law and usage. The court
holds the evidence shows they were
husband and wife rather than liber-
tine and mistress" Coad claimed he
was the victim of holdup.
The woman told an affecting story.
Her father and Coad were old friends
at Sidney, where Coad got his start
as a cattle dealer, and he had known
her from girlhood. He assisted her at
various times, and after she secured a
divorce from her husband contracted
